Allergies – A Growth Industry

American researchers have found that about 4 percent of the population has food allergies or 12 million people. The root of the problem lies in our incomplete understanding of the human immune system. Your immune system is the 24/7 defense against harmful bacteria, viruses, and other toxins. Why and how this defense system is affected by stress, fatigue, lifestyle and social habits remains a pattern of mystery. Unpredictably a reaction can be triggered by otherwise harmless factors such as dust, mold, pollen or foods.
