It was a sunny
December afternoon; I and my sisters were enjoying our vacations on the Goa
beach! We were at the pick of our enjoyment and suddenly my sister screamed Oh
my God! What is this? I have developed rashes all over my skin! She was itching
horribly and we all were little bit upset! We initially thought that she might
have eaten something which she is allergic to! We rushed to the nearest local
doctor and found that it was an allergy due to sunlight! That was really
shocking! An allergy from sunlight! How can it be possible! But yes, it can be possible! After a through
internet search and lot of readings, now I can say it is possible!
Allergy is
actually an exaggerated or false immune response; suddenly occurring as an
indication that something wrong has happened in the body. In other words, it is
the hypersensitive immune reaction to some antigens or allergens. These
allergens are as such foreign substances or more precisely substances which are
foreign to the bodies. They can be
natural like dust, pollen, sun rays, pet dander etc or some synthetic
medications or food. It has been observed that environmental and genetic
factors are responsible for such kind of hypersensitive reactions.
All of us have
an intrinsic immune system as our natural defence mechanism, which avoid entry
of any foreign pathogens. If by any chance, the pathogen enters in our body, a
strong immune response is generated through production of large antibodies and
white blood cells, which will kill the pathogen through specific mechanisms
such as phagocytosis. However there are some harmless foreign substances such
as dust or pollens, which are not capable of generating strong immune response although,
can generate false response by producing a kind of immunoglobulin known as IgE.
IgE is a kind of
antibody, present in a very small amount in the body but is capable to generate
a cascade of allergic reaction upon entry of some particles. This antibody can
specifically recognise some allergen receptors which are in minute quantities.
Upon recognition, they can be able to secrete some chemicals which are able to
mediate some inflammatory reactions. These inflammatory reactions can cause
symptoms, with which some of us are associated like coughing, sneezing, skin
rashes etc.
Until very
recently, the healthcare sector was able to offer treatments for allergies, to
reduce the symptoms! However, it would always be better to cut it out from the
source and cure completely.
Stem Cells Treatments can be the possible hope for this. Stem
cells are the youngest cells of the body, which can be able to differentiate
into many desirable cells types, upon activation in proper direction. Allergies
are definitely happening due to cellular malfunction. Our immune system, works
on cellular communication which becomes faulty in person with some kind of
allergies. These immune cells mistakenly attack substances or allergen; those
are actually not threats to us. Stem cells stimulation therapy along with
injection of some growth factors can create an internal microenvironment to
stop the progression of these hypersensitive reactions
Thus Doctors are
suggesting a combination therapy with Stem Cells stimulation technology and
administration of SNMC drug to add an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic
effect, to completely get rid of allergies and allow you to live your life to
the fullest without the fear of being allergic!
