Abstract

Adverse reaction of food some time mimic with other health hazards that are not directly contributed by food. The present review work was under taken to identify various aspects of food adverse reaction including etiology, epidemiology, clinical feature, disease mechanism, diagnosis, treatment and preventive measure with the greatest potential for novel therapeutic approaches from personal knowledge of the subject.

The information sources for the article are pre-reviewed reports of original observation and reviews of recent literature from websites, newspaper, journal, books etc where study for this purpose.

Adverse reaction of food may be three types: Food allergy, Food intolerance and Food toxicity. Food allergy is immediate immune system (IgE) mediated or delayed T-cell mediated hypersensitivity reaction. Food allergy may be life threating as in case of anaphylaxis. Food intolerance is non-allergic hypersensitivity that may due to enzyme deficiency, individual hypersensitivity to certain food, food additives intolerance or natural histamine & salicylate present in food. Food toxicity is the direct toxic effects of some naturally occurring toxicant in food.

Introduction

Health is closely related to food consumption and habits. Health hazards and clinical disorder can arise from unsafe and faulty food habits. A number of factors influence the food habits that include: geographical variation, religious beliefs, traditional beliefs, food taboos, education, economical situation of the community, availably and cost of food and social & cultural practices.

Adverse reaction of food means any undesirable reaction in the body after consume a particular food due to presence of substances (allergen or toxicant) that gives allergic, hypersensitive and other toxic reaction. Normally food gives energy and supply nutrient essential for life. But some foods give allergic reaction, some contain toxic or carcinogenic substance, some contain mutagen and others give individual hypersensitive reaction.

Summary of Literature Reviews

Allergens present in some food are responsible for allergic reactions. Allergens are proteins that usually resist the heat of cooking, acids in stomach and intestinal digestive enzymes. As a result the allergens survive to cross the gastro-intestinal lining, enter the blood stream and go to target organ causing allergic reaction throughout the body. Allergens are present in various food such as peanuts, almond, walnuts, soy-bean, poppy, Sesame Seed, Brinjal or Eggplant and in several food pollen i.e. apple, cherry, tomato and peach. Food allergy may be of several types such as cross-reactivity, exercise induce, allergy during pregnancy and infantile colic etc.

The biochemical mechanism of food allergy involves three stages that are initiated by allergen: 1) Sensitization, 2) Mast cell activation and 3) Late phage inflammatory response. Symptoms of food allergy includes: itching in the mouth, difficulty in swallowing & breathing, nausea, light headedness, weakness etc.

]]>

Signs & symptoms of food allergy are sometimes confused with that of Candida hypersensitivity syndrome, Post-viral fatigue syndrome & Mercury toxicity etc.

Diagnosis of food allergy involves two stages i.e. first differ the food allergy from some other physical disorder that are similar to food allergy (differential diagnosis) and then diagnosis of allergy to specific food. Differential diagnosis include: histamine toxicity, food additives intolerance, food poisoning, lactase deficiency, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, and some other gastro-intestinal disorder. Diagnosis to specific food allergy comprises- dietary history, dietary dairy, elimination diet, skin test, and food challenge method.

Anaphylaxis is a serious individual sensitive reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death, some people are so sensitive that breathing in the food essence can trigger an anaphylactic reaction, as in a restaurant when the person at the next table is eating fish or kissing a person who was recently eaten peanuts. Various conditions such as systematic mastocytosis hereditary angioedima, Carcinoid Syndrome mimic anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is usually diagnosed by blood RAST test.

Common food intolerances are celiac disease or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, lactose intolerance, food additives intolerance etc. Other may due to present of lectin in kidney bean, histamine, serotonin, tyramine, dopamine present in certain foods. Food additives intolerance i.e. tartrazine (used in soft drink), acetyle salicylic acid, monosodium glutamate (a flavor enhancer) etc. causes adverse reaction in some individual.

The most prevalent food toxicity in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, andchina, is lathyrism that results from long time and excessive consumption of grass pea lathyrus sativus. The toxic substance in grass pea is glutamate analogue beta- N- oxalylamino- L- alanine acid (BOAA). The disease is characterized by paralysis of lower limbs. The treatment of lathyrism include: avoidance of grass pea and administration of bactofen and tizanidine. Three possible approaches for the eradication of the disease: 1) Treatment of seed by leaching out the toxicant in hot water both on home scale and factory scale. 2) Education of the public on the danger of consuming untreated lathyrus sativus 3) cultivation of other pulses in place of lathyrus sativus.

Goitrogen (linamarine) present in bitter cassava causes paralysis, iodine deficiency disorder (goitre) and growth retardation in children. Cassava can made safe to eat by the processing i.e. grating, soaking, fermenting and drying etc. Other food toxicity includes mushroom poisoning, solanine poisoning (glycoloid present in potato/ green part of potato), and epidemic dropsy (that is caused by accidental or deliberate contamination of cooking oil seeds i.e. mustard seed or rape seed  by toxic argemone seed). Sea food poisoning is caused by the consumption of fish contaminated with various toxic pollutants. The common shell fish poisoning are Amnesic Shell fish Poisoning, Ciguatera Poisoning, Paralytic Shell fish Poisoning, Scomboid, Puffer fish Poisoning, Hallucinogenic Fish Poisoning, Diarrhoeal Shell Fish Poisoning and Sardine Poisioning etc. The preventive measure for sea food poisoning include: processing, treating the sea food before or during cooking and awareness among people about the toxicity.

Discussion

In case of food allergy when a food is implicated, all products of this particular food should be avoided. As for example- if milk is implicated, then all sources of milk such as butter, cheese, butter milk, chocolate, cream, ice-cream, yoghurt and casein should be avoided and the diet should be supplemented with calcium and vitamin-D.

All allergic foods are a good source of protein, for this reason another source of protein should be replaced. If you are allergic to beef, pork or turkey, then game meats are a good alternative.

Exclusive breastfeeding, which is, excluding all other foods, for the first 6-12 months of life is suggested to prevent allergies to milk or soy from developing within that time. Breast milk contains less protein that is foreign to the infant and therefore less allergic than cow’s milk or soy formula. As they grow older, some children may tolerate foods that previously caused allergic reaction and the severity of reaction may decrease by the late childhood.

The use of food additives has increased enormously in the last few decades. Food additives are added to food to increase their attractiveness especially to children and that is another challenge to prevent food adverse reaction.

Prevention of food toxicity is a greatest challenge in developing country. In India, Bangladesh and Nepal some turbulent people to get more benefits in business, mix toxic argemone seed with mustard seed that are look very similar. Although the government of Bangladesh banded the cultivation and consumption of grass pea (local name- khesari dhal), in some extent grass pea are cultivated and consumed secretly due to poverty as its cultivation require very low cost. Thus the best measure for the prevention of food toxicity in developing countries is building of people awareness.

Recommendation

As the adverse reaction of food is a public health problem, government of the state, ministry of health, public health department, administrative institutions, nutrition research institute, nutritional worker, physician, dietitian, food & nutrition faculty of universities and food industry all should work together from their own field to prevent and to build up awareness among people about adverse reaction of food.

Do you think that acne develops only on the neck and face?  If you do, you’re mistaken; acne often develops on other areas of the body, too.  Body acne is the result of many – or a multitude of things. Body acne can be the symptom of poor nutrition.  Body acne can rear its ugly head as a result of too much stress.  There are other possible causes of body acne, such as improper hygiene and the ingestion of toxins.  Toxins often cause body acne.  Toxins that cause body acne can be environmental or pharmaceutical.  Whichever the cause, no one enjoys body acne, for not only is it unattractive, but often painful, as well.  We all want to know how to get rid of body acne – no matter where on our body it is found. People of all ages – children, teenagers, and adults alike – just want body acne to be gone.  Choosing a particular remedy is the first step toward eradicating body acne.  Before choosing that remedy that’s right for us, we have to determine just which problem is – or problems are – causing the body acne.  The first cause of body acne to suspect is almost always clogged skin pores.

Body acne is a skin condition more generally caused by clogged pores.  Those pores are usually clogged due to an overabundance of oil in hair follicles.  Whether that excessive amount of oil is caused by uncleanliness or a greasy diet, it has to come out.  Body acne – just as face, neck, and shoulder acnes – has to be starved of its nasty breeding ground; that nasty breeding ground for body acne is supplied by backed up, unclean body oils.

Of course, we can wash regularly and thoroughly and still end up with body acne.  Although frustrating, we know there can be other causative factors for body acne.  First, our cleansing agents might not be doing as good a job as we had thought.  Second, body acne can be caused by excessive perspiration or tension from just too many worries.  Whatever the cause – or causes – body acne nearly always presents a tough challenge.  When we decide to meet that challenge and get rid of it, the condition of the body acne may be in the beginning stage of whiteheads or blackheads, or sore-looking, red, swollen eruptions.  On the other hand, we may be facing a more advanced stage of body acne; one of irritatingly inflamed skin.  Whichever stage your body acne is I n, the most important thing you can do is to cleanse it thoroughly, both inside and out.  SkinB5 offers the perfect cleaning solution by way of its gentle-but-powerful body acne control cleanser.  Rich in antioxidants, as well as soothing herbs and vitamins, this cleanser was formulated to fight this deep-cleaning battle for you.  Body acne must never be subjected to oily, waxy, or toxic commercial preparations.  SkinB5′s body acne is completely free of such troublesome ingredients.  Their body acne cleanser is natural, pure, and toxin-free.

After cleansing your body acne with SkinB5′s hard-to-beat Acne Control Cleanser, the next step to take is to use their Acne Cleansing Mask on every area where you see body acne.  This mask is fast-acting and uniquely prepared to absorb residual excess oils from tough-to-clean body acne; its hearty base of mineral-rich French Clay guarantees a complete and luxurious body acne cleansing experience.  When fighting body acne, both of these cleansing products are essential.  Together, the SkinB5 Acne Control Cleanser and Acne Cleansing Mask prepare a squeaky-clean skin for the next productive step toward body acne removal, which is the internal acne clearing process with the powerful Acne Control Tablets or Capsules.

A New Approach to Attention Deficit Disorder: Healing Body and Mind through Ayurvedic Medicine

San Francisco, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) April 20, 2011

Ayurveda is the world’s oldest and most complete holistic healing modality. Rooted deep in timeless wisdom, Ayurveda is ageless. It has been continually practiced for millennium, passed down from generation to generation, Ayurvedic medicine remains alive, enlightening and healing.

Ayurveda recognizes life as one unified spirit that contains and connects the energy of the universe to the individual soul. Ayurveda sees every life form as a unique combination of matter, spirit and mind. It approaches healing by balancing the elemental forces that make up the physical and spiritual construct of our universe. Ayurveda is the knowledge of how to live, this knowledge brings awareness of our situation here on earth, it is very practical and yet it is profound. Awareness and understanding of our true selves, the environment, and how the two interact. Ayurveda looks at the qualities inherent in all matter, to the energy that pulses through all life.

According Ayurvedic theory, there are three main constitutions make up the body. These constitutions are often referred to as doshas or humors. Every person has a unique dosha, with different combinations of ether, air, fire, water, and earth. These elements combine to make up Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Vata dosha having more air and ether, with pitta being more so fire. Earth and water make up Kapha dosha.

Ayurvedic medicine seeks to recognize the dosha in each person in order to understand any imbalances that may cause disease. By examining the doshic qualities of modern diseases, Ayurveda can balance and heal them. One such ailment that widely affects people today is Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). This disorder was known and treated by Ayurvedic doctors in ancient times, and continues to be treated by Ayurvedic doctors today. By looking at modern and classical Ayurvedic writings to shed light on the causes, we can learn holistic treatments that can heal this disorder. This disorder considered benign by some, is very serious. Millions of people struggle with ADD, and the numbers continue to rise.

Ayurveda pancha karma treatments for ADD should also be considered as part of a successful treatment plan.

As the world is developing in technology day by day we are moving away from nature. We have depleted nature’s every gift, polluted the environment with deforestation. Nature is reacting on us in the form of natural calamities and certain diseases. Moreover in this fast pace life, we don’t allow our body to fight with any illness and take man made drugs forgetting that the same nature has cure for all disturbances. In such adverse circumstances yoga and ayurveda still shows a hope to be connected with nature. This provides treatment for almost all diseases.

Yoga and ayurvedic treatments have a different approach that work not only on illness but tries to find out root cause thus eliminating it permanently. Yoga is very effective in stabilizing nervous disorders, stress, constipation, reducing anxiety and depression, eliminating fatigue and even helpful in diseases like cancer and aids. Yoga treatments include a no. of exercises, asana, chanting of mantras, meditation, and etc. Ayurvedic treatments involve massage, ayurvedic face rejuvenation, shirodhara, and various other oil treatments.

Different postures during yoga include sitting, standing or lying down to relax your muscles and other body parts. Meditation is the most effective way to reduce stress. Here equilibrium is established between mind and body and gradually your mind becomes so free that you feel to be present there only physically and mind roams in the universe. This gives you a great relaxation and makes you feel active. Different asana during yoga fills you with a different energy and power.

While in ayurvedic treatments, toxic substances from body are reduced or removed through various ayurvedic remedies. These remedies are prepared from using a variety of herbs, minerals and sometime a few animal products also. Ayurveda believes that body is made of Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Any imbalance in these three is the main cause of diseases in an individual, so ayurvedic treatments always try to bring them in harmony. Ayurveda not only keeps you healthy but also beautiful and attractive by making your skin healthy, shiny and glow.

Many people believe that yoga treatment just includes few exercises that you can do yourself and can be healthy. But its not so, there are various technical approaches to adopt yoga therapy. If you adopt it home without any instructions then be careful because one wrong movement can make you still for the lifetime. If not a yoga instructor, you can consider internet, books and any other sources. Moreover yoga is not the solution of all the diseases. Though a mastered yogic can find remedy for any said diseases but you should not try yoga for any diseases without any consultations.

Yoga and ayurvedic treatments are prevalent from ancient times. But these days they have gain more popularity and various yoga and ayurvedic centers have been established not only in India but also in foreign countries. In fact, there are more foreigners than Indians to follow such techniques in curing their illness.

Over 50% of the immune system is situated in and around the digestive system, most especially in the large intestine. Meaning, until the colon is cleansed thoroughly and the toxins have been removed, nutrients will not be absorbed properly, and digestion will be slowed down – which would lead to bodily discomforts.      

It’s a good thing there are many colon cleanse programs available to help you get rid of toxins in the body.  But not all will be very effective for you or to anybody else.  When choosing, be sure to check the label or do a little research about it first.  It pays, you know? A new body cleanse product is The Whole Body Cleanse.  What does it say on the label? What does your research say to you?  When all of the following (and I’m telling you, they’re the good ones) are to be your answers, then congratulations!  You have made it to the right product.      

A good product uses Enzymatic Therapy which ensures that there will be no rough stimulant laxatives. It supports detoxification for the entire body including liver, gall bladder, lymphatic and circulatory systems, in addition to the intestines and the rest of the digestive system.      

Good cleansing products also take into heavy consideration your time and patience.  Claiming and aiming to cleanse in a matter of just two weeks is good. Just be sure that the product has the right herbs and ingredients that will really get rid of toxins and other unwanted matters in the body within the time frame it’s boasting.  You can always sue its manufacturers when their claims to be false, anyway!      

While the modern Western cleansing programs include numerous foods that are highly processed and comprise of food additives including salt and chemical preservatives. The human body has been designed to digest whole foods such as vegetables and fruits, as well as whole grains and meat in moderation. Environmental pollutants, overeating, as well as other factors can provide a disruption of natural digestive process, which results to toxic buildup in our tissues and organs. A good body cleansing product helps you with those, and also provides relief from problems including weight gain, fatigue, low energy levels, and headache, among the few.  After all, these products are thought of and manufactured for the improvement of one’s health through flushing dangerous toxins out of the colon and the rest of the intestinal tract.

Great American Products Announces Clinical Study Showing Pain Relief Effectiveness of its Remarkable Total Body Pain Spray

Total Body Pain Spray Clinical Study Results Summary

Destin, FL (Vocus/PRWEB) February 15, 2011

Great American Products is pleased to announce it has conducted a clinical study which shows the pain relieving effectiveness of its remarkable homeopathic product, Total Body Pain Spray.

Total Body Pain Spray is an incredible homeopathic doctor-developed, temporary pain-relief oral spray. Its unique combination of all-natural homeopathic ingredients was formulated to help anybody with joint and muscle pain; inlcluding Arthritis pain in the back, neck, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, wrists, hands, fingers, toes and more.

After years of development, my team at Great American Products finally arrived at what we believed was the perfect combination of safe and effective pain-relieving ingredients, so we commissioned an independent, 14-day clinical study help confirm our complete belief in the homeopathic healing powers of this product.

The Total Body Homeopathic Pain Spray study was a prospective phase III, multicentre, open label study involving 50 men and women who experienced chronic musculo-skeletal pain. The results:

Total Body Pain Spray was clinically shown to help relieve chronic musculo-skeletal pain and joint stiffness, as well as improve physical function. It was clinically shown to help improve quality of life for many of those who used it. Overall, 80% of participants with pain experienced some pain relief. Participants with pain saw a decrease in pain, and were able to perform daily activities with more ease, including jobs around the house.

Homeopathy has hundreds of years of documented use worldwide. And unlike conventional drugs, which aim to shock your system and suppress your symptoms, homeopathy treatments works with your body, naturally and gently to stimulate your own natural healing abilities, leaving you stronger and healthier.

The Power of Homeopathy

Stephan Karian remarks, “Years ago, I witnessed the powers of homeopathy after helplessly watching conventional doctors fail to help my ailing mother from a serious illness. After a year of turmoil, I fortunately stumbled upon a homeopathic doctor who diagnosed her condition and treated her solely with natural remedies, completely curing her in just 3 months! I also saw how homeopathy later cleared my son’s warts in just a matter of months when I was told it would take several years to clear up.”

“Seeing firsthand the power of homeopathy to save my mother’s life when all hope was gone, I was determined to make a difference in the quality of life for others. That is why I founded Great American Products back in 1995. Homeopathy was a miracle in my life and I feel it will be a miracle in other people’s lives as well”

Total Body Pain Spray provides safe, effective pain relief. The 18 precisely combined ingredients in this powerful triple-strength formula are in 3 different potencies, for a total of 54 individually-made ingredients to address the causes of pain throughout the body.

Total Body Pain Spray is easy to use. Just spray it several times daily under the tongue. This unique delivery method allows for absorption of powerful homeopathic ingredients, through the mucous membranes of the mouth, to rapidly get into the bloodstream, then to all parts of the body where it can help alleviate chronic joint and muscle pain and stiffness.

A topical pain cream will only work on site and must first pass through skin to work. A pill must be swallowed and digested, and then the ingredients still need to be carried by the blood stream to the pain site. However, by spraying our formula under the tongue it quickly dissolves so it can go to work fast.

All-natural, clinically tested Total Body Pain Spray may very well be the answer millions of Americans who live with agonizing pain daily are looking for.

An interesting thing is that the psychological condition of body dysmorphic disorder is very often triggered by cystic acne. This is a condition where people feel that they are extremely hideous despite the fact that they are normal looking. Cystic acne often acts as a catalyst in this disorder from what I have seen and read about it.  Just like anorexia is often triggered by an individual being initially overweight, BDD is triggered by things like acne (or also common is a large nose).  It causes a lot of emotional stress and this is very unfortunate that it is this way.  

Then I am always asked the question “do people really react differently to you because you have cystic acne?  Do you look at people and say: they have acne and won’t be their friend?” Well, not exactly.  Someone with bad acne can be less attractive.  Of course that is not what anyone wants to hear and it sounds very superficial, but that is what I have encountered as the truth. It’s such a bizarre thing because people’s attitudes are often what make them attractive or unattractive and of course the cystic acne has a high potential of affecting one’s attitude.  

The conclusion is that it should have very little effect on your social life. However, in regards to self confidence – to have some sort of personal life this is where the problem is.  It absolutely takes away from your self confidence and it is one of the few things that can do that which is so difficult to cure. But don’t let it stop your social life. When you finally get rid of the acne, then only you will realize there’s no much different without acne, because your personality that counts. Hopefully whoever reads this will feel better.

Whether it is the flu, a cold or simply allergies that bring you down, the end result is that the body hasn’t properly fought off the offending attacks. To help strengthen your body’s resistance to allergens or germs, start by addressing your immune system.

What is the immune system? The immune system is made up of cells that are designed to kill off virus or bacteria encounters. These cells, called killer cells or macrophages digest and destroy anything offensive to the body.

So what can we do to help our own body help itself?

1. Cut back on processed sugar. It is said that as little as one teaspoon of sugar shuts off our killer cells activity for up to six hours. Cutting out sugar will not only help your immune system but will also renew your energy levels and weight distribution. Alternatives to sugar are stevia or artificial sweeteners; but stevia is certainly healthier.

2. Take supplements such as Vitamins A, C, E and B complex. Finding a company that offers such vitamins in addition to supplements aimed specifically for immune support, like Jarrow Formulas, help zero in on what you are trying to accomplish. Vitamins A, C, E and B are certainly necessary for immune support but so are antioxidants, and IP6, which enhances the body’s natural killer cells.

3. Reduce stress and get a good night’s sleep. Stress, whether emotional or physical send out to the body a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol drops our DHEA levels and makes our interleukin levels rise. Sleep itself, from six to ten hours, helps balance our hormone levels, including our cortisol.

4. Drink plenty of water. Most people don’t drink enough water to purify the body of its toxins. Try adding lemon to your water. Lemon restores the acid-alkali balance which helps return your body’s pH level to a place where it supports healthy bacterial instead of the bacteria caused by viruses.

5. Eat more raw fruits and vegetables for their antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber and enzymes. Do this especially if you are not taking a supplement to assist your body.

6. Spend time out in the cold. It seems that this is contradictory to getting a cold, but exercise and getting out of the indoors where you inhale other people’s germs, helps the body. Exercise also releases endorphins, which increases immune support.

7. Nurture your well-being. Research has shown that our nervous system directly communicates with our immune system. Feelings of joy and self worth improve and boost our immunity. It has also been proven that prayer; a positive attitude and a spiritual sense of well-being enhance our killer cell activity.

Sound easy enough? It is, so practice at least two of the above mentioned and you will notice your health improving drastically.
