About this listen

In 2021, approximately 81 million people in the U.S. were diagnosed with seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever). This equals around 26% (67 million) of adults and 19% (14 million) of children. Seasonal allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds. (Aafa.org)
In Australia, food allergies are seen in 10% of infants, 4-8% of children and around 2% of adults. Most food allergies can be attributed to the following common foods: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish, shellfish, wheat, and soy.

So, why the astounding rate and growth in allergies?
Could there be something else going on here? If the body is intelligent, which it is, then what is the benefit of having histamine as a response? Today we discuss the upstream connections as well as introduce the benefits of Histamine while more importantly uncovering some of the causes behind this growing new dependency on over the counter and prescription medications.

This is the beginning of a love affair with your liver. ;-)
Cheers,
Dr. Wade
