The
Unwarranted War
Five year old Jackson’s
immune system was ready for anything. Its
defense against the known harmful substances like bacteria, parasites and
viruses was superb to say the least. His
T-lymphocyte cells had won many a battle against numerous strains of flu and
his B-lymphocyte cells had created many antibodies so that future battles
against these same antigens would result in sure victory. It was a very active defense mechanism, ready
to stage war on potential threats.
The
Battle Field
But maybe being so
active wasn’t as great a thing as the army that was his immune system thought .
. . One day Jackson had gone for dinner
with his parents at a seafood restaurant.
His white blood cells were on surveillance as usual, looking out for
signs of intruders that could be harmful.
Things were quiet . . .
Too quiet.
Suddenly a suspicious
looking protein entered the blood stream.
Since Jackson’s immune system was so active the helper T-cell unit of
the army quickly sent word to B-lymphocyte unit who immediately started the
process of creating immunoglobulin E (IgE) also known as antibodies for what
was presumed to be harmful.
The IgE antibody soldiers
sprang into action by attaching to white blood cells called basophils as well
as mast cells to form a complex. The complexes with mast cells remain stationary
while that of the basophils circulated the blood stream to weed out any other
like intruders. The secret weapon, a
super powerful chemical called histamine was released from both of these to
ensure victory in the war.
Histamine caused the
shrinkage of airways and the opening of blood vessels to increase the amount of
blood flow to enable much quicker mobility of other soldiers. The battle would be won at whatever the
cost! The defense could not be broken!
The
Result
As the war between the
immune system and the ‘foreign’ protein raged on, the five year old Jackson’s
heart rate picked up, his skin broke out in hives and there was swelling in his
lips. These symptoms were all a result
of the war raging in his body as his immune system fought an unfamiliar protein,
which was really just some shrimp he ate. Harmless shrimp. The response of his
immune system to the shrimp was called the allergic inflammatory response. Jackson was allergic to shrimps. His immune system mistook protein from shrimp
for a harmful substance.
He was rushed to the
hospital, where doctors said that he had gone into anaphylactic shock which was
the most severe reaction to an allergen.
It was life threatening and swelling seemed to begin in his throat. He was immediately injected with a chemical
called epinephrine. This chemical caused
constriction in his blood vessels to reduce swelling and increase his blood pressure
as well as opened up air pathways, essentially reversing the effects of
histamine and preventing further secretion of the chemical.
Jackson was okay but
would surely try hard to never consume shrimp again.
I was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to accomplish a divine recovery.
