Eczema, Asthma, Hayfever, Sinusitis, and Food Allergy
[Facts] In Europe, 80 million people are allergic. In certain areas of African, Asia, and America, for instance, more than 90% of the population is intolerant to lactose. Worldwide, 300 million people are suffering from asthma. In Finland for instance, 9% of the adults are asthmatic, 15 to 20% have eczema, and 30% have an allergic flu. In the USA, 4% of the overall population and 6% of the children are asthmatic, 4% (12 million people) suffer from food allergy and 11% (37 million people) from allergic sinusitis.
[Symptoms] Common symptoms for food allergy are nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, diarrhea, difficulty breathing/asthma, itching, eczema, frequent colds, bronchitis, sinusitis, ear infections, sneezing, red eyes, dizziness, headaches. A food allergy might start as an eczema and turn into an asthma, a hayfever or a sinusitis after a couple of years, or even an acne. The food allergy rarely ‘disappears’, it mutates.
[Activation] Allergies are activated by food. Even hayfever or sinusitis can become worse in contact with some plants or animals but often the allergic reaction takes place because food created an inflammation beforehand.
[Prevention] Milk and wheat are responsible of many allergies. The best way to validate if a food item is not right is to stop eating it for one week and then to eat it again and wait 45 minutes: if the food item was indeed an allergen then a symptom will occur (headache, nausea, itching, etc).

[Better Immune System Program] With your donations, we will be able to make research on the reasons why some individuals present a weaker immune system and are more sensitive to allergies.
