<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Laura Scott</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">1</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">2</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Laura Scott, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Timothy Grass<br>
Cedar<br>
Housedust Mite<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p>Grasses are recognized as the most prolific producers of airborne pollen
in the spring and early summer.</p>
<p><b>Timothy Grass</b> sheds large amounts of pollen, and is thought to
be one of the worst causes of spring-to-early-summer pollinosis. It primarily
pollinates in the morning hours. Depending on the region (see pollination
chart below), pollination is between May and October.
<span class="footnoteref">3</span> </p>
<p><b>Mountain cedar, also known as Juniper,</b> is an exceedingly prolific
producer of pollen. Great clouds of pollen often rise off the trees, mimicking
smoke from fires, and occasionally causing "white-outs." </p>

<p><b>House dust mites</b> make up the major allergen component of house
dust. They are tiny, spider-like insects that are difficult to see without
special lighting and magnification. They feed on mold, especially the mold
growing on food particles, skin scales, and chronically damp surfaces so
cleanliness is important. They do not thrive in dry climates or at elevations
above 5000 feet. </p>
<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass, Cedar, Ragweed and Timothy Grass </b>all call for the
same avoidance recommendations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pollen levels are generally higher in the morning and on windy days
so it is best to avoid going outside during these times, especially to
exercise.</li>
<li> Avoid mowing the lawn</li>
<li> Keep the windows shut</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA filter</a> equipped air conditioners or other room air purifiers
as much as possible </li>
<li> Run the car air conditioner while driving to assist in keeping your
air pollen free</li>
</ul>
<p><b>House dust mites</b></p>
<ul>
<li> Stringent dust control in your bedroom is a vital first step </li>
<li> Frequent vacuuming (at least every two to three days) with a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-filtered </a> vacuum is important. </li>
<li> Use barrier-cloth <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">encasings</a> for the mattress and pillows </li>
<li> Bedding should be easy to wash and washed once a week in hot water
(130°F)</li>
<li> Avoid down comforters and plush fabrics that require dry cleaning </li>
<li> Eliminate or limit stuffed animals to just a few, as they are big
dust collectors. Any stuffed animals kept by a child should be tumbled
in the dryer for at least 15 minutes weekly to reduce its dust contents.</li>
<li> Use a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-grade filter</a> in all forced air heating systems</li>
<li> Use Air purification units that employ <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA
filters</a> in the rooms in
which you spend the most time</li>
<li> Remove carpeting from bedrooms and replace with hardwood, tile or
linoleum</li>
<li> Throw rugs should be washable and cleaned frequently.</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">cleaning products</a> specifically designed to
remove dust mites.</li>

<p>In addition to avoiding allergens, it may be necessary to use an Over-The-Counter
or prescription medicine for your allergies. A physician trained in allergy is the best
resource to determine the proper medication that may be helpful for you. Also,
Immunotherapy is another option in the fight to control your allergy symptoms.

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Marco Ramirez-Chavez</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">4</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">5</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Marco Ramirez-Chavez, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Timothy Grass<br>
Cedar<br>
Cat<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p>Grasses are recognized as the most prolific producers of airborne pollen
in the spring and early summer.</p>
<p><b>Timothy Grass</b> sheds large amounts of pollen, and is thought to
be one of the worst causes of spring-to-early-summer pollinosis. It primarily
pollinates in the morning hours. Depending on the region (see pollination
chart below), pollination is between May and October.
<span class="footnoteref">6</span> </p>
<p><b>Mountain cedar, also known as Juniper,</b> is an exceedingly prolific
producer of pollen. Great clouds of pollen often rise off the trees, mimicking
smoke from fires, and occasionally causing "white-outs." </p>

<p><b>Cats </b>are well known for their ability to induce allergy symptoms
in susceptible individuals. Cats are known as highly allergenic pets for
two reasons. One reason is that they are the most common house pets. The
other reason is that they continually groom themselves with saliva, which
is heavily contaminated with cat allergen. This "conditioning" of the fur
creates an invisible cloud of allergen around each cat. </p>
<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass, Cedar, Ragweed and Timothy Grass </b>all call for the
same avoidance recommendations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pollen levels are generally higher in the morning and on windy days
so it is best to avoid going outside during these times, especially to
exercise.</li>
<li> Avoid mowing the lawn</li>
<li> Keep the windows shut</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA filter</a> equipped air conditioners or other room air purifiers
as much as possible </li>
<li> Run the car air conditioner while driving to assist in keeping your
air pollen free</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Cat </b></p>
<ul>
<li> Finding a new, good home for your cat is the best solution. If that's
not an option: </li>
<li> Bathe the cat weekly </li>
<li> Prevent your cat from entering your bedroom </li>
<li> Avoid holding and petting the cat as much as possible </li>
<li> Vacuum the house with a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA
filter</a> equipped vacuum at least
once every two to three days </li>

<p>In addition to avoiding allergens, it may be necessary to use an Over-The-Counter
or prescription medicine for your allergies. A physician trained in allergy is the best
resource to determine the proper medication that may be helpful for you. Also,
Immunotherapy is another option in the fight to control your allergy symptoms.

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Janis Shea</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">7</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">8</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Janis Shea, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Cat<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p><b>Cats </b>are well known for their ability to induce allergy symptoms
in susceptible individuals. Cats are known as highly allergenic pets for
two reasons. One reason is that they are the most common house pets. The
other reason is that they continually groom themselves with saliva, which
is heavily contaminated with cat allergen. This "conditioning" of the fur
creates an invisible cloud of allergen around each cat. </p>
<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Cat </b></p>
<ul>
<li> Finding a new, good home for your cat is the best solution. If that's
not an option: </li>
<li> Bathe the cat weekly </li>
<li> Prevent your cat from entering your bedroom </li>
<li> Avoid holding and petting the cat as much as possible </li>
<li> Vacuum the house with a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA
filter</a> equipped vacuum at least
once every two to three days </li>
</ul>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Laddawan Donahue</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">9</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">10</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Laddawan Donahue, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Bermuda Grass<br>
Cedar<br>
Alternaria (Mold)<br>
Housedust Mite<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p>Grasses are recognized as the most prolific producers of airborne pollen
in the spring and early summer.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass</b> is a long-lived, warm season perennial often used
for critical area planting (e.g. channels and pond banks), grassed waterways,
and vegetated flumes and as a hardy, weed-resistant turf for lawns and
public areas. It is also used for pasture and hay.
<span class="footnoteref">11</span> </p>
<p><b>Mountain cedar, also known as Juniper,</b> is an exceedingly prolific
producer of pollen. Great clouds of pollen often rise off the trees, mimicking
smoke from fires, and occasionally causing "white-outs." </p>

<p><b>Alternaria</b> (mold) is a fungus that grows on damp surfaces and is
the most abundant fungus spore found in the outdoor air. Fungi propagate
themselves by generating enormous numbers of airborne spores. Inhalation
of these spores can be very disabling to allergic individuals. Fungal spores
outnumber pollens in the air at any time, even at peak pollen times. The
highest airborne counts occur during rainy seasons when temperatures are
above freezing. These spores do especially well in subtropical climates
(Florida) and in areas with high humidity during warm months (East and
Mid west). They are most abundant in California during the winter rainy
season and are less of a problem in drier climates (Southwest including
Southern California). Outdoor spores can be avoided by following the avoidance
rules laid out for pollens.</p>
<p>Indoor spores can be a problem where there is a water damage problem (e.g.
leaky roof or faulty plumbing) or where air conditioners or humidifiers
become mold contaminated. <a href="#mold_chart">See mold chart</a></p>
<p><b>House dust mites</b> make up the major allergen component of house
dust. They are tiny, spider-like insects that are difficult to see without
special lighting and magnification. They feed on mold, especially the mold
growing on food particles, skin scales, and chronically damp surfaces so
cleanliness is important. They do not thrive in dry climates or at elevations
above 5000 feet. </p>
<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass, Cedar, Ragweed and Timothy Grass </b>all call for the
same avoidance recommendations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pollen levels are generally higher in the morning and on windy days
so it is best to avoid going outside during these times, especially to
exercise.</li>
<li> Avoid mowing the lawn</li>
<li> Keep the windows shut</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA filter</a> equipped air conditioners or other room air purifiers
as much as possible </li>
<li> Run the car air conditioner while driving to assist in keeping your
air pollen free</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Alternaria (mold)</b></p>
<ul>
<li> Remove any water damaged carpets, walls and floors, and correct any
water intrusion sources</li>
<li> Use HEPA-grade room <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">air purifiers</a></li>
<li> Seal basement walls</li>
<li> Avoid eating foods high in mold protein (see <a href="#moldchart">mold
chart</a> below)</li>
<li> Avoiding foods is far simpler in theory than in practice; however,
elimination of the foods causing the allergies usually provides some
relief within one to two weeks.</li>

<p>Note: All foods will become moldy with time. Shop frequently, buy foods in small
quantities, and when in doubt, ask the vendor about the freshness of his foods. Read labels.
Molds thrive on sugar - control your intake. A moldy environment (home, office, school,
church, car) can be an additional problem. Do not store food in frost-free freezers for more
than one or two weeks because mold can grow during the automatic thaw cycle several times
a day. Organic foods and foods without preservatives are more likely to mold.</p>
<p><b>House dust mites</b></p>

<li> Stringent dust control in your bedroom is a vital first step </li>
<li> Frequent vacuuming (at least every two to three days) with a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-filtered </a> vacuum is important. </li>
<li> Use barrier-cloth <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">encasings</a> for the mattress and pillows </li>
<li> Bedding should be easy to wash and washed once a week in hot water
(130°F)</li>
<li> Avoid down comforters and plush fabrics that require dry cleaning </li>
<li> Eliminate or limit stuffed animals to just a few, as they are big
dust collectors. Any stuffed animals kept by a child should be tumbled
in the dryer for at least 15 minutes weekly to reduce its dust contents.</li>
<li> Use a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-grade filter</a> in all forced air heating systems</li>
<li> Use Air purification units that employ <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA
filters</a> in the rooms in
which you spend the most time</li>
<li> Remove carpeting from bedrooms and replace with hardwood, tile or
linoleum</li>
<li> Throw rugs should be washable and cleaned frequently.</li>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Jackie Vietor</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">12</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">13</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>

<p>Note: All foods will become moldy with time. Shop frequently, buy foods in small
quantities, and when in doubt, ask the vendor about the freshness of his foods. Read labels.
Molds thrive on sugar - control your intake. A moldy environment (home, office, school,
church, car) can be an additional problem. Do not store food in frost-free freezers for more
than one or two weeks because mold can grow during the automatic thaw cycle several times
a day. Organic foods and foods without preservatives are more likely to mold.</p>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Sarah Temul</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">14</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">15</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Sarah Temul, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Alternaria (Mold)<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p><b>Alternaria</b> (mold) is a fungus that grows on damp surfaces and is
the most abundant fungus spore found in the outdoor air. Fungi propagate
themselves by generating enormous numbers of airborne spores. Inhalation
of these spores can be very disabling to allergic individuals. Fungal spores
outnumber pollens in the air at any time, even at peak pollen times. The
highest airborne counts occur during rainy seasons when temperatures are
above freezing. These spores do especially well in subtropical climates
(Florida) and in areas with high humidity during warm months (East and
Mid west). They are most abundant in California during the winter rainy
season and are less of a problem in drier climates (Southwest including
Southern California). Outdoor spores can be avoided by following the avoidance
rules laid out for pollens.</p>
<p>Indoor spores can be a problem where there is a water damage problem (e.g.
leaky roof or faulty plumbing) or where air conditioners or humidifiers
become mold contaminated. <a href="#mold_chart">See mold chart</a></p>
<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Alternaria (mold)</b></p>
<ul>
<li> Remove any water damaged carpets, walls and floors, and correct any
water intrusion sources</li>
<li> Use HEPA-grade room <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">air purifiers</a></li>
<li> Seal basement walls</li>
<li> Avoid eating foods high in mold protein (see <a href="#moldchart">mold
chart</a> below)</li>
<li> Avoiding foods is far simpler in theory than in practice; however,
elimination of the foods causing the allergies usually provides some
relief within one to two weeks.</li>

<p>Note: All foods will become moldy with time. Shop frequently, buy foods in small
quantities, and when in doubt, ask the vendor about the freshness of his foods. Read labels.
Molds thrive on sugar - control your intake. A moldy environment (home, office, school,
church, car) can be an additional problem. Do not store food in frost-free freezers for more
than one or two weeks because mold can grow during the automatic thaw cycle several times
a day. Organic foods and foods without preservatives are more likely to mold.</p>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Sarah Gray</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">16</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">17</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Sarah Gray, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Housedust Mite<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p><b>House dust mites</b> make up the major allergen component of house
dust. They are tiny, spider-like insects that are difficult to see without
special lighting and magnification. They feed on mold, especially the mold
growing on food particles, skin scales, and chronically damp surfaces so
cleanliness is important. They do not thrive in dry climates or at elevations
above 5000 feet. </p>
<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>House dust mites</b></p>
<ul>
<li> Stringent dust control in your bedroom is a vital first step </li>
<li> Frequent vacuuming (at least every two to three days) with a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-filtered </a> vacuum is important. </li>
<li> Use barrier-cloth <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">encasings</a> for the mattress and pillows </li>
<li> Bedding should be easy to wash and washed once a week in hot water
(130°F)</li>
<li> Avoid down comforters and plush fabrics that require dry cleaning </li>
<li> Eliminate or limit stuffed animals to just a few, as they are big
dust collectors. Any stuffed animals kept by a child should be tumbled
in the dryer for at least 15 minutes weekly to reduce its dust contents.</li>
<li> Use a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-grade filter</a> in all forced air heating systems</li>
<li> Use Air purification units that employ <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA
filters</a> in the rooms in
which you spend the most time</li>
<li> Remove carpeting from bedrooms and replace with hardwood, tile or
linoleum</li>
<li> Throw rugs should be washable and cleaned frequently.</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">cleaning products</a> specifically designed to
remove dust mites.</li>
</ul>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Ginger French</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">18</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">19</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Ginger French, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Timothy Grass<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p>Grasses are recognized as the most prolific producers of airborne pollen
in the spring and early summer.</p>
<p><b>Timothy Grass</b> sheds large amounts of pollen, and is thought to
be one of the worst causes of spring-to-early-summer pollinosis. It primarily
pollinates in the morning hours. Depending on the region (see pollination
chart below), pollination is between May and October.

<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass, Cedar, Ragweed and Timothy Grass </b>all call for the
same avoidance recommendations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pollen levels are generally higher in the morning and on windy days
so it is best to avoid going outside during these times, especially to
exercise.</li>
<li> Avoid mowing the lawn</li>
<li> Keep the windows shut</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA filter</a> equipped air conditioners or other room air purifiers
as much as possible </li>
<li> Run the car air conditioner while driving to assist in keeping your
air pollen free</li>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Phil Arvin</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">21</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">22</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Phil Arvin, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Bermuda Grass<br>
Alternaria (Mold)<br>
Housedust Mite<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p>Grasses are recognized as the most prolific producers of airborne pollen
in the spring and early summer.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass</b> is a long-lived, warm season perennial often used
for critical area planting (e.g. channels and pond banks), grassed waterways,
and vegetated flumes and as a hardy, weed-resistant turf for lawns and
public areas. It is also used for pasture and hay.

<br>
<p><b>Alternaria</b> (mold) is a fungus that grows on damp surfaces and is
the most abundant fungus spore found in the outdoor air. Fungi propagate
themselves by generating enormous numbers of airborne spores. Inhalation
of these spores can be very disabling to allergic individuals. Fungal spores
outnumber pollens in the air at any time, even at peak pollen times. The
highest airborne counts occur during rainy seasons when temperatures are
above freezing. These spores do especially well in subtropical climates
(Florida) and in areas with high humidity during warm months (East and
Mid west). They are most abundant in California during the winter rainy
season and are less of a problem in drier climates (Southwest including
Southern California). Outdoor spores can be avoided by following the avoidance
rules laid out for pollens.</p>
<p>Indoor spores can be a problem where there is a water damage problem (e.g.
leaky roof or faulty plumbing) or where air conditioners or humidifiers
become mold contaminated. <a href="#mold_chart">See mold chart</a></p>
<p><b>House dust mites</b> make up the major allergen component of house
dust. They are tiny, spider-like insects that are difficult to see without
special lighting and magnification. They feed on mold, especially the mold
growing on food particles, skin scales, and chronically damp surfaces so
cleanliness is important. They do not thrive in dry climates or at elevations
above 5000 feet. </p>
<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass, Cedar, Ragweed and Timothy Grass </b>all call for the
same avoidance recommendations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pollen levels are generally higher in the morning and on windy days
so it is best to avoid going outside during these times, especially to
exercise.</li>
<li> Avoid mowing the lawn</li>
<li> Keep the windows shut</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA filter</a> equipped air conditioners or other room air purifiers
as much as possible </li>
<li> Run the car air conditioner while driving to assist in keeping your
air pollen free</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Alternaria (mold)</b></p>
<ul>
<li> Remove any water damaged carpets, walls and floors, and correct any
water intrusion sources</li>
<li> Use HEPA-grade room <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">air purifiers</a></li>
<li> Seal basement walls</li>
<li> Avoid eating foods high in mold protein (see <a href="#moldchart">mold
chart</a> below)</li>
<li> Avoiding foods is far simpler in theory than in practice; however,
elimination of the foods causing the allergies usually provides some
relief within one to two weeks.</li>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Nahid Zahedi</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">24</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">25</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Nahid Zahedi, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Timothy Grass<br>
Bermuda Grass<br>
Cedar<br>
Alternaria (Mold)<br>
Housedust Mite<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p>Grasses are recognized as the most prolific producers of airborne pollen
in the spring and early summer.</p>
<p><b>Timothy Grass</b> sheds large amounts of pollen, and is thought to
be one of the worst causes of spring-to-early-summer pollinosis. It primarily
pollinates in the morning hours. Depending on the region (see pollination
chart below), pollination is between May and October.
<span class="footnoteref">26</span> </p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass</b> is a long-lived, warm season perennial often used
for critical area planting (e.g. channels and pond banks), grassed waterways,
and vegetated flumes and as a hardy, weed-resistant turf for lawns and
public areas. It is also used for pasture and hay.
<span class="footnoteref">27</span> </p>
<p><b>Mountain cedar, also known as Juniper,</b> is an exceedingly prolific
producer of pollen. Great clouds of pollen often rise off the trees, mimicking
smoke from fires, and occasionally causing "white-outs." </p>

<br>
<p><b>Alternaria</b> (mold) is a fungus that grows on damp surfaces and is
the most abundant fungus spore found in the outdoor air. Fungi propagate
themselves by generating enormous numbers of airborne spores. Inhalation
of these spores can be very disabling to allergic individuals. Fungal spores
outnumber pollens in the air at any time, even at peak pollen times. The
highest airborne counts occur during rainy seasons when temperatures are
above freezing. These spores do especially well in subtropical climates
(Florida) and in areas with high humidity during warm months (East and
Mid west). They are most abundant in California during the winter rainy
season and are less of a problem in drier climates (Southwest including
Southern California). Outdoor spores can be avoided by following the avoidance
rules laid out for pollens.</p>
<p>Indoor spores can be a problem where there is a water damage problem (e.g.
leaky roof or faulty plumbing) or where air conditioners or humidifiers
become mold contaminated. <a href="#mold_chart">See mold chart</a></p>
<p><b>House dust mites</b> make up the major allergen component of house
dust. They are tiny, spider-like insects that are difficult to see without
special lighting and magnification. They feed on mold, especially the mold
growing on food particles, skin scales, and chronically damp surfaces so
cleanliness is important. They do not thrive in dry climates or at elevations
above 5000 feet. </p>
<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass, Cedar, Ragweed and Timothy Grass </b>all call for the
same avoidance recommendations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pollen levels are generally higher in the morning and on windy days
so it is best to avoid going outside during these times, especially to
exercise.</li>
<li> Avoid mowing the lawn</li>
<li> Keep the windows shut</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA filter</a> equipped air conditioners or other room air purifiers
as much as possible </li>
<li> Run the car air conditioner while driving to assist in keeping your
air pollen free</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Alternaria (mold)</b></p>
<ul>
<li> Remove any water damaged carpets, walls and floors, and correct any
water intrusion sources</li>
<li> Use HEPA-grade room <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">air purifiers</a></li>
<li> Seal basement walls</li>
<li> Avoid eating foods high in mold protein (see <a href="#moldchart">mold
chart</a> below)</li>
<li> Avoiding foods is far simpler in theory than in practice; however,
elimination of the foods causing the allergies usually provides some
relief within one to two weeks.</li>

<li> Frequent vacuuming (at least every two to three days) with a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-filtered </a> vacuum is important. </li>
<li> Use barrier-cloth <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">encasings</a> for the mattress and pillows </li>
<li> Bedding should be easy to wash and washed once a week in hot water
(130°F)</li>
<li> Avoid down comforters and plush fabrics that require dry cleaning </li>
<li> Eliminate or limit stuffed animals to just a few, as they are big
dust collectors. Any stuffed animals kept by a child should be tumbled
in the dryer for at least 15 minutes weekly to reduce its dust contents.</li>
<li> Use a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-grade filter</a> in all forced air heating systems</li>
<li> Use Air purification units that employ <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA
filters</a> in the rooms in
which you spend the most time</li>
<li> Remove carpeting from bedrooms and replace with hardwood, tile or
linoleum</li>
<li> Throw rugs should be washable and cleaned frequently.</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">cleaning products</a> specifically designed to
remove dust mites.</li>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Steven Barragan</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">28</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">29</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Steven Barragan, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Timothy Grass<br>
Bermuda Grass<br>
Cedar<br>
Ragweed<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p>Grasses are recognized as the most prolific producers of airborne pollen
in the spring and early summer.</p>
<p><b>Timothy Grass</b> sheds large amounts of pollen, and is thought to
be one of the worst causes of spring-to-early-summer pollinosis. It primarily
pollinates in the morning hours. Depending on the region (see pollination
chart below), pollination is between May and October.
<span class="footnoteref">30</span> </p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass</b> is a long-lived, warm season perennial often used
for critical area planting (e.g. channels and pond banks), grassed waterways,
and vegetated flumes and as a hardy, weed-resistant turf for lawns and
public areas. It is also used for pasture and hay.

<p><b>Mountain cedar, also known as Juniper,</b> is an exceedingly prolific
producer of pollen. Great clouds of pollen often rise off the trees, mimicking
smoke from fires, and occasionally causing "white-outs." </p>
<p><b>Ragweed</b>, a yellow flowering weed, is a member of the Aster Family
that often flourishes in disturbed vacant soils which can not support other
vegetation. It flourishes during dry hot spells, which promote growth and
pollen formation. If these conditions continue through late summer then
pollen dispersal is very high. The only deterrent that makes it difficult
for the plant to release its pollen is relative humidity that exceeds 70
percent.

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Joe Jackson</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">33</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">34</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>

<p>Joe Jackson, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Bermuda Grass<br>
Cedar<br>
Alternaria (Mold)<br>
Housedust Mite<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p>Grasses are recognized as the most prolific producers of airborne pollen
in the spring and early summer.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass</b> is a long-lived, warm season perennial often used
for critical area planting (e.g. channels and pond banks), grassed waterways,
and vegetated flumes and as a hardy, weed-resistant turf for lawns and
public areas. It is also used for pasture and hay.

<p><b>Mountain cedar, also known as Juniper,</b> is an exceedingly prolific
producer of pollen. Great clouds of pollen often rise off the trees, mimicking

<p><b>Alternaria</b> (mold) is a fungus that grows on damp surfaces and is
the most abundant fungus spore found in the outdoor air. Fungi propagate
themselves by generating enormous numbers of airborne spores. Inhalation
of these spores can be very disabling to allergic individuals. Fungal spores
outnumber pollens in the air at any time, even at peak pollen times. The
highest airborne counts occur during rainy seasons when temperatures are
above freezing. These spores do especially well in subtropical climates
(Florida) and in areas with high humidity during warm months (East and
Mid west). They are most abundant in California during the winter rainy
season and are less of a problem in drier climates (Southwest including
Southern California). Outdoor spores can be avoided by following the avoidance
rules laid out for pollens.</p>
<p>Indoor spores can be a problem where there is a water damage problem (e.g.
leaky roof or faulty plumbing) or where air conditioners or humidifiers
become mold contaminated. <a href="#mold_chart">See mold chart</a></p>
<p><b>House dust mites</b> make up the major allergen component of house
dust. They are tiny, spider-like insects that are difficult to see without
special lighting and magnification. They feed on mold, especially the mold
growing on food particles, skin scales, and chronically damp surfaces so
cleanliness is important. They do not thrive in dry climates or at elevations
above 5000 feet. </p>

<p>Note: All foods will become moldy with time. Shop frequently, buy foods in small
quantities, and when in doubt, ask the vendor about the freshness of his foods. Read labels.
Molds thrive on sugar - control your intake. A moldy environment (home, office, school,
church, car) can be an additional problem. Do not store food in frost-free freezers for more
than one or two weeks because mold can grow during the automatic thaw cycle several times
a day. Organic foods and foods without preservatives are more likely to mold.</p>
<p><b>House dust mites</b></p>
<ul>
<li> Stringent dust control in your bedroom is a vital first step </li>
<li> Frequent vacuuming (at least every two to three days) with a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-filtered </a> vacuum is important. </li>
<li> Use barrier-cloth <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">encasings</a> for the mattress and pillows </li>
<li> Bedding should be easy to wash and washed once a week in hot water
(130°F)</li>
<li> Avoid down comforters and plush fabrics that require dry cleaning </li>
<li> Eliminate or limit stuffed animals to just a few, as they are big
dust collectors. Any stuffed animals kept by a child should be tumbled
in the dryer for at least 15 minutes weekly to reduce its dust contents.</li>
<li> Use a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-grade filter</a> in all forced air heating systems</li>
<li> Use Air purification units that employ <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA
filters</a> in the rooms in
which you spend the most time</li>
<li> Remove carpeting from bedrooms and replace with hardwood, tile or
linoleum</li>
<li> Throw rugs should be washable and cleaned frequently.</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">cleaning products</a> specifically designed to
remove dust mites.</li>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Lien Duong</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.

<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">37</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Lien Duong, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Timothy Grass<br>
Bermuda Grass<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p>Grasses are recognized as the most prolific producers of airborne pollen
in the spring and early summer.</p>
<p><b>Timothy Grass</b> sheds large amounts of pollen, and is thought to
be one of the worst causes of spring-to-early-summer pollinosis. It primarily
pollinates in the morning hours. Depending on the region (see pollination
chart below), pollination is between May and October.
<span class="footnoteref">38</span> </p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass</b> is a long-lived, warm season perennial often used
for critical area planting (e.g. channels and pond banks), grassed waterways,
and vegetated flumes and as a hardy, weed-resistant turf for lawns and
public areas. It is also used for pasture and hay.

<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass, Cedar, Ragweed and Timothy Grass </b>all call for the
same avoidance recommendations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pollen levels are generally higher in the morning and on windy days
so it is best to avoid going outside during these times, especially to
exercise.</li>
<li> Avoid mowing the lawn</li>
<li> Keep the windows shut</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA filter</a> equipped air conditioners or other room air purifiers
as much as possible </li>
<li> Run the car air conditioner while driving to assist in keeping your
air pollen free</li>
</ul>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Jolynne McGee</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">40</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">41</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>Jolynne McGee, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Alternaria (Mold)<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p><b>Alternaria</b> (mold) is a fungus that grows on damp surfaces and is
the most abundant fungus spore found in the outdoor air. Fungi propagate
themselves by generating enormous numbers of airborne spores. Inhalation
of these spores can be very disabling to allergic individuals. Fungal spores
outnumber pollens in the air at any time, even at peak pollen times. The
highest airborne counts occur during rainy seasons when temperatures are
above freezing. These spores do especially well in subtropical climates
(Florida) and in areas with high humidity during warm months (East and
Mid west). They are most abundant in California during the winter rainy
season and are less of a problem in drier climates (Southwest including
Southern California). Outdoor spores can be avoided by following the avoidance
rules laid out for pollens.</p>
<p>Indoor spores can be a problem where there is a water damage problem (e.g.
leaky roof or faulty plumbing) or where air conditioners or humidifiers
become mold contaminated. <a href="#mold_chart">See mold chart</a></p>
<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Alternaria (mold)</b></p>
<ul>
<li> Remove any water damaged carpets, walls and floors, and correct any
water intrusion sources</li>
<li> Use HEPA-grade room <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">air purifiers</a></li>
<li> Seal basement walls</li>
<li> Avoid eating foods high in mold protein (see <a href="#moldchart">mold
chart</a> below)</li>
<li> Avoiding foods is far simpler in theory than in practice; however,
elimination of the foods causing the allergies usually provides some
relief within one to two weeks.</li>

<p>Note: All foods will become moldy with time. Shop frequently, buy foods in small
quantities, and when in doubt, ask the vendor about the freshness of his foods. Read labels.
Molds thrive on sugar - control your intake. A moldy environment (home, office, school,
church, car) can be an additional problem. Do not store food in frost-free freezers for more
than one or two weeks because mold can grow during the automatic thaw cycle several times
a day. Organic foods and foods without preservatives are more likely to mold.</p>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for Judy Harrison</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">42</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">43</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>

<p>Judy Harrison, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Cedar<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p>Grasses are recognized as the most prolific producers of airborne pollen
in the spring and early summer.</p>
<p><b>Mountain cedar, also known as Juniper,</b> is an exceedingly prolific
producer of pollen. Great clouds of pollen often rise off the trees, mimicking
smoke from fires, and occasionally causing "white-outs." </p>

<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass, Cedar, Ragweed and Timothy Grass </b>all call for the
same avoidance recommendations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pollen levels are generally higher in the morning and on windy days
so it is best to avoid going outside during these times, especially to
exercise.</li>
<li> Avoid mowing the lawn</li>
<li> Keep the windows shut</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA filter</a> equipped air conditioners or other room air purifiers
as much as possible </li>
<li> Run the car air conditioner while driving to assist in keeping your
air pollen free</li>

<p><b>Alternaria</b> (mold) is a fungus that grows on damp surfaces and is
the most abundant fungus spore found in the outdoor air. Fungi propagate
themselves by generating enormous numbers of airborne spores. Inhalation
of these spores can be very disabling to allergic individuals. Fungal spores
outnumber pollens in the air at any time, even at peak pollen times. The
highest airborne counts occur during rainy seasons when temperatures are
above freezing. These spores do especially well in subtropical climates
(Florida) and in areas with high humidity during warm months (East and
Mid west). They are most abundant in California during the winter rainy
season and are less of a problem in drier climates (Southwest including
Southern California). Outdoor spores can be avoided by following the avoidance
rules laid out for pollens.</p>
<p>Indoor spores can be a problem where there is a water damage problem (e.g.
leaky roof or faulty plumbing) or where air conditioners or humidifiers
become mold contaminated. <a href="#mold_chart">See mold chart</a></p>
<p><b>Cats </b>are well known for their ability to induce allergy symptoms
in susceptible individuals. Cats are known as highly allergenic pets for
two reasons. One reason is that they are the most common house pets. The
other reason is that they continually groom themselves with saliva, which
is heavily contaminated with cat allergen. This "conditioning" of the fur
creates an invisible cloud of allergen around each cat. </p>
<p><b>House dust mites</b> make up the major allergen component of house
dust. They are tiny, spider-like insects that are difficult to see without
special lighting and magnification. They feed on mold, especially the mold
growing on food particles, skin scales, and chronically damp surfaces so
cleanliness is important. They do not thrive in dry climates or at elevations
above 5000 feet. </p>
<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Bermuda Grass, Cedar, Ragweed and Timothy Grass </b>all call for the
same avoidance recommendations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pollen levels are generally higher in the morning and on windy days
so it is best to avoid going outside during these times, especially to
exercise.</li>
<li> Avoid mowing the lawn</li>
<li> Keep the windows shut</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA filter</a> equipped air conditioners or other room air purifiers
as much as possible </li>
<li> Run the car air conditioner while driving to assist in keeping your
air pollen free</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Alternaria (mold)</b></p>
<ul>
<li> Remove any water damaged carpets, walls and floors, and correct any
water intrusion sources</li>
<li> Use HEPA-grade room <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">air purifiers</a></li>
<li> Seal basement walls</li>
<li> Avoid eating foods high in mold protein (see <a href="#moldchart">mold
chart</a> below)</li>
<li> Avoiding foods is far simpler in theory than in practice; however,
elimination of the foods causing the allergies usually provides some
relief within one to two weeks.</li>

<p>Note: All foods will become moldy with time. Shop frequently, buy foods in small
quantities, and when in doubt, ask the vendor about the freshness of his foods. Read labels.
Molds thrive on sugar - control your intake. A moldy environment (home, office, school,
church, car) can be an additional problem. Do not store food in frost-free freezers for more
than one or two weeks because mold can grow during the automatic thaw cycle several times
a day. Organic foods and foods without preservatives are more likely to mold.</p>
<p><b>Cat </b></p>
<ul>
<li> Finding a new, good home for your cat is the best solution. If that's
not an option: </li>
<li> Bathe the cat weekly </li>
<li> Prevent your cat from entering your bedroom </li>
<li> Avoid holding and petting the cat as much as possible </li>
<li> Vacuum the house with a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA
filter</a> equipped vacuum at least
once every two to three days </li>
</ul>
<p><b>House dust mites</b></p>
<ul>
<li> Stringent dust control in your bedroom is a vital first step </li>
<li> Frequent vacuuming (at least every two to three days) with a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-filtered </a> vacuum is important. </li>
<li> Use barrier-cloth <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">encasings</a> for the mattress and pillows </li>
<li> Bedding should be easy to wash and washed once a week in hot water
(130°F)</li>
<li> Avoid down comforters and plush fabrics that require dry cleaning </li>
<li> Eliminate or limit stuffed animals to just a few, as they are big
dust collectors. Any stuffed animals kept by a child should be tumbled
in the dryer for at least 15 minutes weekly to reduce its dust contents.</li>
<li> Use a <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA-grade filter</a> in all forced air heating systems</li>
<li> Use Air purification units that employ <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">HEPA
filters</a> in the rooms in
which you spend the most time</li>
<li> Remove carpeting from bedrooms and replace with hardwood, tile or
linoleum</li>
<li> Throw rugs should be washable and cleaned frequently.</li>
<li> Use <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">cleaning products</a> specifically designed to
remove dust mites.</li>

<div class="title">MyAllergyPlan for W.W. Baker</div>
<br>
<p>
Now that you know you have allergies you need a "plan of action" to help you avoid your symptoms and feel better!
ImmuneTech is providing just that with a customized <b>"MyAllergyPlan"</b>. Your MyAllergyTest results have
shown you exactly what you are allergic to, now your MyAllergyPlan can help you learn how to clean up your
environment, avoid the offending allergens, and add medications when you and your doctor decide they are needed.
The MyAllergyPlan is based on the recommendations of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
These guidelines are designed to help you practice allergen avoidance as a first step to feeling better, and use appropriate
medications when necessary. ImmuneTech recommends that you share this information with your healthcare provider.
</p>
<div class="title">What are Allergies?</div>
<br>
<p> An allergy is a specific response from our immune system to a substance <strong></strong>that normally doesn't cause our body harm. An allergic reaction occurs when an allergic person first comes into contact with the offending allergen. The immune system generates an antibody (disease fighting protein) called IgE specific to the allergen. IgE molecules are special because IgE is the only class of antibody that attaches tightly to the body's mast cells, which are tissue cells, and to basophils, which are blood cells. When the allergen next encounters its specific IgE, it attaches to the antibody like a key fitting into a lock, signaling the cell to which the IgE is attached to release powerful inflammatory chemicals like histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. These chemicals act on tissues in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, and cause the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, watery eyes, wheezing and coughing to name a few.
<span class="footnoteref">47</span> </p>
<p><i>How will I feel?</i></p>
<p>If you have allergies you may experience one, many or all of the following symptoms:
<span class="footnoteref">48</span> </p>
<p>1. Sneezing<br>
2. Watery eyes<br>
3. Itchy eyes and nose<br>
4. Loss of smell or taste<br>
5. Repeated sinus or ear infections<br>
6. Dark circles under the eyes<br>
7. Wheezing<br>
8. Crease in the nose from the constant upward wiping of the nose</p>
<p><i>What can I do to reduce my allergy symptoms?</i></p>
<p>It is important to understand to which allergens you are sensitive. If we are allergic to numerous substances continued exposure to those substances has an additive effect referred to as allergen loading. If we overload our system then the response to even a slight amount of allergen exposure may trigger a severe response. Eliminating offending allergens from your environment is the first step in reducing the allergen load to which you have exposed yourself. Reducing your exposure to the allergens will reduce your symptoms.</p>
<div class="title">My Specific Allergies</div>
<br>
<p>W.W. Baker, you tested positive to:<br>
<ul>
Alternaria (Mold)<br>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Below you will find helpful information on each of these allergens that will
assist you in avoiding them and will help you to feel better. </p>
<p><b>Alternaria</b> (mold) is a fungus that grows on damp surfaces and is
the most abundant fungus spore found in the outdoor air. Fungi propagate
themselves by generating enormous numbers of airborne spores. Inhalation
of these spores can be very disabling to allergic individuals. Fungal spores
outnumber pollens in the air at any time, even at peak pollen times. The
highest airborne counts occur during rainy seasons when temperatures are
above freezing. These spores do especially well in subtropical climates
(Florida) and in areas with high humidity during warm months (East and
Mid west). They are most abundant in California during the winter rainy
season and are less of a problem in drier climates (Southwest including
Southern California). Outdoor spores can be avoided by following the avoidance
rules laid out for pollens.</p>
<p>Indoor spores can be a problem where there is a water damage problem (e.g.
leaky roof or faulty plumbing) or where air conditioners or humidifiers
become mold contaminated. <a href="#mold_chart">See mold chart</a></p>
<div class="title">Now What?</div>
<br>
<p>Experts agree that the best treatment for any allergy is to <b>avoid the
offending allergen. </b>If the allergen can be thoroughly eliminated from
your environment, your reaction to it will eventually cease.</p>
<p><b>Alternaria (mold)</b></p>
<ul>
<li> Remove any water damaged carpets, walls and floors, and correct any
water intrusion sources</li>
<li> Use HEPA-grade room <a href="plan/products.php" target="_blank">air purifiers</a></li>
<li> Seal basement walls</li>
<li> Avoid eating foods high in mold protein (see <a href="#moldchart">mold
chart</a> below)</li>
<li> Avoiding foods is far simpler in theory than in practice; however,
elimination of the foods causing the allergies usually provides some
relief within one to two weeks.</li>
