Allergies, Psoriasis and Cancer Share a Common Link

An interesting connection has been discovered between psoriasis, eczema, Hodgkin’s disease and lymphoid cancer.  The connection is a type of white blood cell called a mast cell.
allergiesMast cells are part of our immune system and jump into action when an allergic reaction occurs.  An irritant or foreign substance will trigger the release of antibodies, which attach themselves to mast cells.  When the irritant comes into contact with the antibody the mast cell erupts, releasing proteins and histamine that, in turn, cause swelling, itching, and/or congestion. 

People with high inflammatory symptoms, like those found in psoriasis, eczema, and lymphoid cancers have high levels of mast cells and another immune system protein called CD30. CD30 is a protein found in T-lymphocyte white blood cells.  A study done by the Karolinska Institute discovered that CD30 can stimulate mast cell production in healthy skin cells.  So the presence of CD30 may trigger an inflammatory mast cell response on its own.
Another elevated protein found in psoriasis and many cancer sufferers is known as C-reactive protein.  C-reactive proteins indicate general levels of inflammation in the body.  Infections and many types of long term disease, including heart disease, also generate lots of C-reactive proteins.
Incomplete protein digestion may contribute to the cycle of irritants entering the bloodstream, which in-turn can set the stage for mast cell production, elevated CD30, C-reactive proteins and other inflammatory responses.

Some natural approaches to dealing with this vicious cycle is reducing processed foods and increasing digestive enzymes, vitamin D, vitamin A, zinc, Omega-3 fish oils, aloe vera, and glutathione precursors.  Moderate amounts of sunshine are also advised.

intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablet
What Makes intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets Unique?

intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets combine caffeine, amino acids and B-vitamins to provide the long-lasting physical and mental energy you and your lifestyle demand. Coffee and soft drinks might wake you up, but they don’t support your mental focus. intenseFX™ supports your body’s own energy systems in providing long-term, sustainable performance you can count on.*

intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets provide much-needed fuel and promote mental focus without a major crash afterward. Huge amounts of sugar in mass-marketed energy drinks might bring a big rush but only with a slowdown that has you falling twice as hard. This definitely defeats the purpose of using them for energy. They also rob your focus and add empty calories that nobody needs. While energy shot formulas might spare you the sugar, they still can’t deliver the pocket-sized, quick-dissolving convenience that delivers intenseFX™ in a flash — any time you need it!*

The convenience and potency of intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets make them a practical solution anytime, anywhere. For school, work or play, intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets are great tasting, quick dissolving and fast acting, delivering sustained, natural energy whenever you need it with zero sugar, calories or crashing. Life moves fast — and intenseFX™ Quick Release Energy Tablets can help you move faster.*
