About Allergies



Thank you for your interest in our allergy care program. As you examine the enclosed brochure and treatment protocol you’ll find that Allergy Kure is truly a major breakthrough in allergy testing and treatment.

Medical research shows allergies are a problem of epidemic proportion and with over 40 million allergy-sufferers in the United States, the treatment of allergies and allergy-related symptoms is a major part of most medical practices today. There are between 35 and 40 million hay fever victims alone, of which 12 million have allergies unrelated to pollen.

One in five Americans between the ages of five and 75 develops an allergy to something and according to the National Center for Health Statistics, the numbers are growing.

$600 Plus million is spent annually by Americans for allergy relief. Over-the-counter allergy drugs may cause drowsiness or even have stronger, more dangerous side effects.

Some people have been treated with allergy shots for years without achieving a lasting cure.

Sensitivities to food, milk, dairy products, wheat, soybean, and other vegetables, chocolate and even spring water may cause further stress to the immune system.

Countless people experience an allergy-related complex of sensitivities to the environment - chemicals, air pollution, formaldehyde and other insecticides. In a recent press release, Tampa, Florida, area residents reported all kinds of symptoms after their region had been sprayed from the air with insecticides against fruit flies, supposedly safe to humans. People were advised, however, to cover their cars because that particular insecticide would damage paint on the cars. This makes a lot of sense!

Conditions such as adrenal insufficiencies, chronic fatigue syndrome, low blood sugar, thyroid irregularities, migraine headaches, pain, arthritis, neurasthenia, insomnia, flatulence with abdominal distension, frequent urination, frequent urging, malabsorption syndrome, leading to nutritional deficiencies and lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, further impairs mineral utilization of calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium and zinc. Certain cardiac arrhythmias, mental illness and emotional upheavals have been linked to allergies.

Remember, allergies can occur anywhere in the body and, therefore, are often misdiagnosed. Most people recognize allergic reactions when they occur near the skin, like hives, urticaria-rashes and other skin eruptions. However, they are not the only symptoms of an allergy.

Causes of an allergy may be related to a tendency of genetic predisposition, where 60-75% of children may be affected by allergic reaction to foreign substances if both parents are known to be allergic. If only one parent is allergic, the susceptibility to an allergy will still be high in the children. The susceptibility, however, is more crucial with children and adults in cases where metabolic and immune deficiencies are factors, coupled with a biochemical individuality. We all know families where two, three or more are suffering with allergies and other members of the family are completely untouched by allergy or any other impairment to health.

There is immune system mediated hypersensitivity reactions limited to immunoglobulin E (IgE) Type I (food allergies), cytotoxic reactions linked to immunoglobulin IgC and IgM of the Type II, as well as Type III – immune complex – mediated reactions from antigens (foreign proteins in the system) are able to cause injury to the body and may lead to anaphylactic shock, and Type IV, T-cell dependent mediated primarily by T-lymphocytes associated with contact dermatitis or allergic colitis. Allergic reactions may occur through any of the above interactions with your immune system.

Non-Immune Mechanisms

Masked Sensitivity
In masked sensitivity the symptoms that result don’t occur immediately after ingesting the food to which the sufferer is sensitive and are multiple in nature and seem to occur randomly. In practice this is recognized as “masked sensitivity”. In a masked sensitivity a chronic state of ill health develops, such as headache or general malaise. The food to which the patient is sensitive is probably being ingested on many occasions during the day. Most of your staple foods may cause a reaction when the immune system is compromised. If the patient is sensitive to milk, then milk in any form should not be consumed more than once every four days (this is known as rotation diet). However, the problem with rotation diet is that it will cause malnutrition in the long run due to dietary imbalance. The major problem within clinical allergy treatment is to diagnose the masked sensitivity and correct the problem.
  • Reactions triggered by “inflammatory mediators” such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, slow releasing substance of anaphylaxis, serotonin, histamine, kinins, platelet aggregating factors and others. These inflammatory mediators are capable of triggering mast cell and basophil degranulation and activating the alternative complement pathway of inflammation. This “pseudo-allergic” reaction is involved in reactions to food additives, aspirin, and other compounds.
  • Naturally occurring histamine content in food can activate an allergic reaction. High histamine foods include chocolate, shellfish, sausage, sauerkraut, wine preserves, spinach, tomato, strawberry, banana, papaya and alcohol.
  • Indigestion, malabsorption, repetitive exposure to the same foods, candidiasis, hypochlorhydria, pancreatic insufficiency, hypothyroidism, bowel microflora imbalances, can all represent factors in developing and maintaining food allergies. (90% of Floridians have one or more of the above problems!)

Diagnosis is made through our infra-red thermography sensor, blood test consisting of a metabolic profile, and a CBC with differential, a micro allergy computer calorimetric urine analysis and a thorough patient history, with an emphasis on the environmental surroundings that are associated with allergy related symptoms. The allergy related symptoms the patient experiences in each organ system are studied in depth. Examples include watery and itchy eyes, itching ears or recurrent ear infections, sneezing attacks, persistent sore throat or itching on the roof of the mouth, persistent coughing or chest congestion, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, gas, bloating, indigestion, concentration and/or memory difficulty, diffuse joint pains, mood swings, anxiety, insomnia, depression, “binge” eating or drinking, fatigue and sluggishness.

Physical examination findings may further support the diagnosis of allergies. These findings are broad and range over many organ systems. Examples include dark circles under the eyes (allergic shiners), watery eyes, sneezing, swollen tongue or lips, hives, other skin rashes and abdominal bloating.

Follow-up tests are available including SAF-120 Symptom Awareness Formula and diet scan and Provocative neutralization with drops determined by our infra-red scan, which identify true IgE or IgG mediated allergic reactions and others that identify white blood cell destruction or other symptom or reflex reactions to the compounds being tested.

Allergy Kure is not a magical cure. It is not a medicine. Allergy Kure is an alternative approach to drug injections and over-the-counter remedies. Allergy Kure uses homeopathically prepared antigens in 6x and 12x dilution and is administered at the time of need with specific bio-individual consideration. The actual administration of antigens extends over a period of 1 1½ hours in our office (clinic) on each of the six treatment days. The patient only receives those antigens required at the time enabling the immune system to rebuild to withstand future insults to the body.

It is common knowledge that, given the right circumstances and conditions, the human body has the God given ability to heal itself. Homeopathy (in this case, homeopathic antigens) works with the body to create and stimulate a strong immune response to produce lymphocytes and immunoglobulins. The increased supply of naturally aroused and produced antibodies provide the body with ideal conditions for self healing. When the body is functioning properly, free of interference from allergies and other environmental culprits, it can and will resist disease and chronic illness within the human body and elevates the immune system to its optimal level.

Allergy Kure Benefits

Natural allergy relief with homeopathically prepared antigens called Allergy Kure has been clinically proven to:
  • Resolve allergy related symptoms.
  • Establish more lasting relief beyond symptom control.
  • Strengthen the individual’s physical and inherited resistance to allergies.
  • Offer symptomatic relief without the side effects of drowsiness, dizziness and immune system suppression that results from the prolonged use of antihistamines and decongestants.
  • Have no toxicity.
  • The natural capacity of the self healing mechanisms of the body are effectively enhanced.
  • Have no medical contraindications such as high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disease and patients are able to operate heavy equipment without concern for drowsiness
  • Inexpensive in comparison with over-the-counter and prescription drug alternatives.


Route of Administration:

Our homeopathic antigens are designed to be administered as drops sublingually (under the tongue). Sublingual absorption is the ideal route of administration for allergic patients for several reasons.
  • Is absorbed directly into the capillary beds and bloodstream.
  • Intestinal malabsorption is avoided. Malabsorption is a common condition in allergic patients which allows protein fractions to be absorbed into the bloodstream and become recognized as foreign proteins causing an allergic response.
  • The risk of serious allergic reaction with an injection is avoided.
  • Oral administration of drop doses allows for patient regulation and control of dose volume which is not possible with allergy injections.
  • While allergy injections are administered initially 1-3 times weekly and take 1-3 years to desensitize a patient; our drops are taken in our office, the dose volume is easily adjusted to patient tolerance and dramatically speeds up the time required to desensitize to 2-3 weeks (minimum of 6-8 treatments).


The Homeopathic Medication

Homeopathic medications are prepared by experienced homeopaths and homeopathic pharmacists in carefully quality controlled environments where temperature, odors, dust, light and humidity are regulated.

The original substances, whether they be medication like Sulphur or an allergen such as yeast or house dust, are made soluble in the appropriate diluent and then serially diluted and shaken vigorously between each dilution. This process releases and enhances the medicinal properties of the substances while removing all toxicity.

The Benefit of Homeopathic Formulations in Treating Allergies

A homeopathic formula approach to the treatment of allergies provides various benefits.

Safety

Homeopathic medications when administered properly have no side effects due to the dilution level of the preparations as described above. The individual is not at risk of developing a life-threatening allergic reaction.

Symptomatic Relief

Our pro-biotic homeopathic formulas which we tested offer a combination of symptomatic relief without the drowsiness, immune depression and other side effects of prescription antihistamines, sympathomiimetic medication and cortisone.

Stimulation of the Immune Response

Our allergy formulas are designed to directly resolve allergic related symptoms. In addition, the formulas have proven to strengthen the individuals physical and inherited resistance to allergies. When used with our proven therapeutic protocol the formulas reduce the severity and frequency of future allergic reactions without side effects. The ability of homeopathy to effectively treat the symptoms as well as activate more lasting relief from allergies has been well established.

How the Homeopathic Medications and Dilutions Work

Our preparations are formulated to both reduce allergy related symptoms and strengthen the individual’s immune response in order to activate a cure.

Additional Information on Allergies

Allergy caused deficiency states due to malabsorption of fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins are in direct proportion to allergic reactions in the digestive system or the alimentary tract. Latest research on leaky gut problems confirms this theory as a cause of allergies and other serious health impairments. Severe and chronic deficiency, as seen with fat malabsorption can result in a characteristic neurological syndrome of progressive neuropathy, with absent or diminished reflexes, limb weakening, gait disturbances, and sensory loss in arms and legs, fibromyalgia and reflex sympathetic dystrophy, all too often seen in the D.C.’s practice.

In pregnant women, these conditions severely impair the health of the mother and child and often lead to spontaneous abortion or premature infant birth with low birth weight. The deficiency in fatty acids is frequently seen in total parental nutrition and frequently the source of the problems undetected are allergies.

In chronic fatigue cases, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, abnormal creatine metabolism, emotional disturbances, white blood cell function, gastrointestinal disturbances and generalized dermatitis, the allergy triggered malabsorption problem is predominant.

In cases where malabsorption due to allergic reactions affects the trace mineral absorption and assimilation, health is severely impaired and often leads to cardiac complication, including circulatory problems, heart disease, sexual impotency and prostate disorders.

No other health problem has such a vast and impairing power to diminish the immune system as allergies do. Allergies paralyze the defense system and are not self-reversing, but require active treatment and complete restoration if the human body is to function at full potential (homeostasis).

The reason for our success with Allergy Kure is threefold:
  • The treatment is natural and the most dynamic program offered anywhere without drugs.
  • It is safe, pain-free, and therefore conducive in the treatment of children as well as the aged.
  • It is quick and does not need repeating. Complete wellness is being restored within a short period of time.


The discovery by J. Scogna Jr. and treatment with infra-red thermography in 1979 was no easy task, but it took another twenty years of intense clinical research to arrive at this remarkable and predominantly natural and drugless method called Allergy Kure!
