Allergies and Immune Dysregulation – How Does Allergies and Immune System Support Work?
Allergy symptoms such as itchy eyes, rashes, hives, sneezing, sore throat, rhinitis, breathing difficulty, pain, inflammation and gastrointestinal distress can become more common in the Spring season due to the influx of pollens from trees, grasses and flowers.
Asian medicine focuses on balancing the Qi disharmonies and fortifying Wei Qi through food therapy, acupuncture, cupping, herbal therapy and lifestyle counseling. Foods that help lower inflammation and boost immune function include:
- Ginger
- Garlic and Onions
- Cordyceps Mushroom
- Oyster Mushroom
- Tremella Mushroom
- Reishi Mushroom
- Local Honey and Propolis

Herbal and Nutritional Support
Cordyceps for Lungs
Cordyceps-M, known as Yong Chong Cao in Chinese Medicine, has long been used for athletic performance and recovery, as well as lung, kidney and adrenal health. It is sweet and warm and has an affinity for both the Lung and Kidney channels.
Cordyceps-M supports healthy mitochondrial, immune and microbiome function, and is an excellent source of Beta-Glucans, Ergosterols and Nucleosides. A pure source of Cordyceps-M and many other medicinal mushrooms for both humans and animals can be found at Real Mushrooms.
Liver Health
Optimal liver function is necessary for healthy immune responses and neutralizing environmental toxins, metabolizing hormones, and producing bile for healthy digestion, as well as regulating blood sugar and storing essential nutrients such as Vitamins K, D, B12 and Iron. The liver can become overburdened by toxins from poor diet and lifestyle habits such as high sugar, ultra-processed food, and alcohol intake, as well as chemical toxins from personal care products and chemically altered foods.
Cleansing the liver and supporting optimal function helps to reduce allergic reactions such as rashes, hives, and respiratory problems, in part, by increasing the liver’s ability to break down histamines and reduce inflammation systemically. Herbs such as Curcumin, Dandelion, Ginger and Milk Thistle support optimal liver function. Any easy to use liquid herbal drink has been shown to dramatically improve liver enzymes in just 2 months. Dose for Liver can be found here:

Augmented NAC
Detoxing from spike proteins, whether taken in from an injection, shedding from a vaccinated individual, or from having the COVID infection itself is extremely important for supporting proper immune response. A-NAC also supports liver function and boosts glutathione production. Please watch this brief video for very important information:
Spikeopathy and Immune Function.
Digestive Health
Nutrient assimilation is dependent on healthy digestive function and gut integrity. Many people now suffer from microbiome dysbiosis due to the overuse of antibiotics, exposures to environmental toxins such as glyphosates, chemicals, vaccines, medications, mycotoxins, and man made EMF’s from wireless devices.
Leaky Gut is a common condition where the mucosal barrier of the digestive system is damaged. Leaky Gut not only leads to allergies and food sensitivities but also liver dysfunction and damage. Probiotic supplementation can be very helpful in rebalancing and optimizing microbiome diversity and healing Leaky Gut.
Total Gut Restoration from Microbiome Labs is a 90 day digestive restoration program that is easy to follow, and is a great intervention to repair the mucosal lining of the intestines. Register here to order the 90 day protocol. For seasonal allergies, food sensitivities, rashes, hives, brain fog, histamine responses and over-active immune function, a 60 day Holoimmune protocol is very healing. Holoimmune consists of beta glucans and 3 strains of para-probiotics or ‘ghost probiotics; which have been heat deactivated and provide anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-microbial and immune modulating effects.
Consuming fermented foods such as beet kvass, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, yogurt and kefir are also healthy ways to support optimal digestive function and a diverse and resilient microbiome.
NAET is an excellent therapy which combines acupuncture, kinesiology, nutrition and chiropractic principles to achieve a neuro-immune reset and rebalancing of parasympathetic and sympathetic responses to achieve the reduction or elimination of allergies, sensitivities and incompatibilities to foods, hormones, digestive processes, organ and gland functions, environmental toxins and much more. Detailed information about how NAET works and what to expect during your first treatment can be found here: NAET for Allergies
While the internal root causes are being addressed and healed, a topical cream can be very helpful to mitigate itchy dry skin, eczema, hives, rashes and other skin irritations. Dermozym+++ is a wonderful cream with enzymatic substrates to deeply heal tissue and repair damage to the skin. Dermozym+++ can be purchased here at Cellnovis: Dermozym+++
Many additional healing resources are available on the Patient Resources page. Consuming nutrient dense foods, healthy lifestyle habits including daily exercise, sunlight, restful and restorative sleep, healthy thought patterns, relationships and environments are necessary to achieve true healing.
