Welcome to AllergiCare Relief Centers!

Simply put, AllergiCare™ Relief Centers provides patients with an increased quality of life. All types of symptoms, whether sinus or congestion related, skin related, stomach related -- or any symptom at all, is usually the result of the immune system’s inability to cope with the interaction of a substance, emotion, or stressor. The body, as a result of this interaction, activates the body’s natural defense mechanism in the form of the symptoms that you experience (ie. Itching, coughing, sneezing, headache, etc).

There have been many scientific studies performed proving the relationship between stress and the immune system’s ability to effectively cope with the interaction to these events. Stress may be either internal (psychological), or external (substance, chemical, temperature, etc.). It is the complex relationship between our neurological system (regulates our body in relationship to our perception of the world, thereby regulating our body’s behaviour), our endocrine system (responsible for the release of hormones in our system used to regulate functions including mood, growth and development, tissue function and metabolism), and our immune system (the body’s ability to protect against disease) that determines our body’s ability to deal with the stress and the results (symptoms) that are experienced if these systems are not working effectively.

It is when these systems are not working at optimal level that disease and associated symptoms often result. The chart below helps to illustrate this relationship:

AllergiCare™ Relief Centers uses neurological stress reduction therapy to alter your body’s perception to both internal and external stressors. If your body is able to effectively deal with these stressors, the diseases and associating symptoms can be alleviated.

In 2004 the World Allergy Organization's Specialty and Training Council conducted a survey of World Allergy Organization (WAO) member societies to obtain information about the status of the specialty of allergy worldwide. Responses were received from 33 countries, representing a population of 1.39 billion people, of whom it was estimated that 22% may suffer from some form of allergic disease. Allergy was reported by 23 respondents to be a certified or accredited specialty in their country, and the number of certified allergists per head of population ranged from 1:25 million to 1:16,000. Allergists were ranked as the fifth most likely clinicians to see cases of allergic asthma, third most likely to see allergic rhinitis, and fourth most likely to see eczema or sinusitis. Nine countries only reported that children with allergic diseases would be seen by a pediatrician with appropriate training. The survey results highlight a pressing need for the development of allergy services worldwid
