Vaccine Ingredients Can Cause Allergies

Wow! Summer is almost over! Can you believe it? For some, the end of summer can bring seasonal allergies. Mold, ragweed and other pollens might be off the chart in your area right now. Allergic reactions occur when the immune system overreacts to things like pollens or mold as a “foreign agent”. A specific antibody called IgE works to release histamine into the body, and that release causes the all-too-common allergy symptoms of sneezing, runny nose and itchy, watery eyes. For more information on IgE, read my substack on the topic: Worms, Wheezes and Weird Diseases here.

Why Allergies Are Increasing

We now have more susbtances that can evoke IgE antibodies, and one of the biggest but largely unrecognized causes are the preservatives found in vaccinations. Mercury, aluminum and gelatin have all been reported in the medical literature to increase IgE concentrations, and therefore play a potential role in the development allergies. Because a newborn’s immune system is not fully developed, infancy is a high risk period for allergic sensitization. Events that occur early in life, such as vaccination, have the potential for inducing the development of allergies and asthma later in life.

Exposure to antibiotics has also been linked to the development allergies. Studies show that children given antibiotics during the first year of life are over four times more likely to develop asthma than children who have never taken antibiotics. It’s important to know because allergies are often the underlying cause of a myriad of seemingly unrelated health problems. Many people do not realize that symptoms such as body aches, fatigue, indigestion, headaches, ear infections, irritability, hyperactivity and learning disabilities can be symptoms of overlooked food and environmental allergies.

What can be done?
Certain supplements are very helpful for hypersensitive individuals to rely on for immune system support and balance.

Taking a supplement that supports immune balance is important. Quercetin is one of those supplements that can provide support for seasonal challenges. It helps to actively promote healthy nasal and sinus passages for individuals with elevated histamine and respiratory irritation. Quercetin reduces the effects of histamine in the body and may help stabilize the body’s mast cells for immune support. Quercetin also helps to prevent symptoms and reduces allergic eye symptoms caused by pollen. Quercetin can also help to reduce respiratory tract infection rates. Think about adding quercetin as a seasonal supplement to your allergy arsenal.
