Tumeric has been now researched extensively for its immune suppressing properties and more on the inflammatory cascade suppression and helping regulating the immune system. One of the studies that I read was about the balance of turmeric of Th1 (the virus immune system, which is lower in people with allergy) and the Th2 immune system which is the allergy one, which is up regulated in people and children with allergies. So the turmeric is one of the natural components that would regulate the two. This also includes the probiotics salivarus which is one of the friendly bacteria that helps regulating the Th1 and Th2. Those two nutrients are not the only one. Essential fats from fish oil are also one that down regulate the Th2 immune system and helps with reducing the damage from the overreaction of the histamine cascade and to lower the inflammatory cascade. I remember 17 years ago when I had just started University I knew than about the fish oil and vitamin E with vitamin C would reduce the histamine effect. One of my friends had two children with severe hay fever and allergies. We were in a field and all of the sudden his son started to sneeze and have his over reaction to the environment around us. We run to the house as she did not have her anti-histamine with her and she run out of it at home too. I suggested giving a teaspoon of fish oil and a capsule of vitamin E with some vitamin C. Within 5 to 10 minutes he stopped sneezing and every single over reaction symptoms calmed down.
With all the above nutrients I would also add the quercetin. If you do not want to take all the above all the time look at NAET treatments for reducing and in my experience eliminating the overreaction on my website. Click here to read more
