Allergies, What Causes the Effect? Part II

Part 2

Some people don’t realize it but food allergies are very common in animals just as they are in people. You maybe able to find a new food that does not cause problems but this is usually a temporary fix. So what do you do? You can keep trying different foods, however, this will prove quite expensive. Some people keep experimenting until eventually the day comes when it seems that there’s nothing at all that their pet can eat, without health problems.

People ask why their animals react to some dog foods and not others. Food reactions in a normal patient can occur with bad formulations. Possibly, they got a batch with infectious bacteria or some other toxic matter present. It could be as simple as the commercial food product had too much fat or too much seasoning present which can also cause a bad reaction.

What about all those animals (and people) that have actual food sensitivities? I’ve had people ask me, why does my one dog have a bad reaction to the food I feed and my other dog doesn’t? Is there a basic reason why this occurs? Allergies often are genetically passed down but can also be acquired.

These patients have a hormonal-antibody imbalance that causes the protective “mucous membrane antibody” in the stomach and intestines to be deficient. It is called an IgA antibody. When this antibody is deficient (lacking), it creates other adverse reactions in this “imbalanced” patient. Many times you’ll find that the food reaction is much less severe than their reaction to an insect bite or a vaccine reaction.

What causes this imbalance? Why is the IgA antibody deficient?

The imbalance is due to a deficient amount of and/or defective natural cortisol that causes the pituitary gland to produce more of its hormone then necessary. When this occurs, it causes a sudden and excessive increase in adrenal estrogen.

This extra estrogen not only causes the binding (blocking) of the thyroid hormones, but it also causes the immune cells to attack and make anti-antibodies to any foods that are given to the patient, animal or human. If you do not correct this imbalance, eventually any and all foods will create bad reactions and cause serious damage to the patient’s system.

Are allergies just an inconvenience, or can they be lethal? A hormone antibody imbalance allergy can definitely worsen and possibly turn into a life threatening disease. How can you be completely sure that with stress, environmental toxins, genetic defects or other such factors, this will not further damage the body and turn into autoimmunity or cancer. You can’t!

You need to look to this syndrome, to find out if your pet or a human member of your family need to have a determining blood test and possibly hormone replacement administered to avoid a possible health catastrophe. We’ll have more in…
