Allergy refers to organism's hypersensitivity to outer factors such as food products; medicine; microorganisms; chemical components and a lot of others. The elements that cause allergic reactions are called allergens. At the present time allergic diseases are reported to be widely spread in the entire world; moreover, the number of people suffering from allergies is growing. As a matter of fact, there are several reasons for allergic reactions to appear, among them being: growing contamination of natural resources; wide implementation of antibiotics and other medicines; introduction of a great variety of chemical products (washing powders; artificial food components etc. ) and many others. Besides, bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, vaccines etc.

Can cause allergic effect. Prophylactic measures of allergy include: preventing of repetitive contact with the components detrimental for a particular person; regular wet cleaning of residential area; refraining from taking allergic medicine; removal of infectious focus causing sensitization; special everyday menu based on natural food rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids (in order to boost immune system) and others. Individuals who experience the symptoms of allergy (rhinitis, coughing, sore throat, rash, nausea, minor pain in muscles and/or bones, dizziness, insomnia etc. ) are strongly recommended to apply to a doctor immediately.

It is possible to divide allergy treatment options into four steps: 1) exclusion of any contact of patients with allergens (it is possible to be done in case of food or medical allergy and nearly impossible in case of allergic reactions on dust); 2) intake of medicines blocking allergic reactions at different stages (immunological, mediator formation, pathophysiological); 3) symptomatic therapy aimed on elimination of symptoms (based on individual approach) and 4) regression of sensitization level by the means of assimilating allergen with human organism gradually escalating the dosage thus stimulating formation of antibodies.
