Allergic Illnesses
Nowadays, there is a tremendous increase of the allergic illnesses worldwide. The most common allergic illnesses are asthma, eczema, itch, allergic rush, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, food allergies and pharmaceutical allergies. The usual symptoms are rush, itching, catarrh, sneezing, cough, difficulty in breathing, edema etc. These symptoms can be chronic or seasonal, light or severe and at times the life of the patient may be in danger.
Causes of the Allergic Illnesses
A.Allopathic view
Today we know much about the pathogenic mechanisms of the allergies, that is the chemistry and physiology that gives birth to allergic symptoms but there is a strong controversy concerning the causes. Some scientists consider inheritance as the most important factor while others think the same about the external irritating factors. The truth, as most of the times, lies in the middle reminding us of the “golden mean” of Ancient Greeks. Allergic Illnesses are a combination of inheritance and external irritating factors.
B.Homeopathic view
Homeopathy, as a true science, is based on Universal and Medical Laws so as to interpret biological phenomena. One of its main laws is the Law of Individualization: “any person is unique and should be treated so either in diagnosis or in treatment”. Clinical observation clearly confirms this law. There are patients that develop severe allergic symptoms from their childhood which implies a strong allergic inherited predisposition and others that although live in adverse allergic environment have light allergic symptoms or none at all.
It is also a fact that patients with low allergic predisposition if encounter strong physical or psychological stress will, at the end, develop severe allergic symptoms. Thus, we should talk about three main causes for allergies: Inherited Predisposition, Psychosomatic Balance and External Allergic Factors.
Treatment
Our views on causes will determine the proposed treatment. Avoiding external allergic factors cannot be considered as deep causative treatment while most of the times it’s useless. For example how can you avoid dust or pollen, two of the most common allergic factors? On the other hand allergic patients are today sensitive to these external factors and some months or years later to others. So the treatment by vaccination that depends on external allergic factors is a wild goose chase apart from having side effects. Furthermore, it does not cure the inherited allergic predisposition.
What about antihistamines and anti-allergic drugs? They can, of course, relieve allergic symptoms by interfering on the pathogenic mechanism of allergic reaction but they can’t cure allergic predisposition. That’s the reason why they must be given for life or at least every time symptoms are present. They are not a causative treatment and they also have several side effects.
Even cortisone, that powerful allopathic weapon against allergic reactions, may be life saving on severe acute allergic reactions but it does not cure the allergic predisposition at all. The main thing it does is to strongly suppress the organism’s defense mechanism temporarily. It does not cure and furthermore it has severe side effects especially if used for long.
Homeopathy proposes a truly causative treatment with permanent results and without any kind of side effects. It does not deal with the external allergic factors. There is no need for that, since it can reduce to minimum the inherited allergic predisposition.
At first, it can cure the acute allergic symptoms and when treatment progresses after some months it does diminish the allergic predisposition for life. It can also strengthen the patient as a psychosomatic whole thus preventing external allergic factors from overcoming his defense mechanisms.
Homeopathic medicines do not act locally on the skin (eczema) or in the bronchi (asthma) so as to suppress the symptoms. They act on the general allergic predisposition and thus the results are general and permanent. The three main characteristics of any homeopathic treatment are: natural action without any side effects, causative psychosomatic treatment and permanent results.
