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.
Mast 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.
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.
