Beyond the Inhaler And Pills: A Second Opinion on Allergies & Asthma
If you live with allergies or asthma, you know the feeling of constant vigilance. You avoid triggers, carry a rescue inhaler everywhere, and rely on daily medications just to breathe freely. It can feel like your own immune system has declared war on the world around you, leaving you at the mercy of pollen, dust, or certain foods.
Conventional treatment is excellent at managing acute attacks and suppressing symptoms with antihistamines and steroids. But it rarely asks the most important question: Why is your immune system overreacting in the first place?
Our second opinion for allergies and asthma goes beyond symptom management. We investigate the underlying reasons for your immune system’s dysregulation, aiming to calm the system from the inside out and reduce your dependency on medication.
Rethinking Allergies & Asthma: An Immune System Problem
We view these conditions not just as a problem in your lungs or sinuses, but as a sign of a dysregulated immune system. This over-reaction is often fueled by underlying issues that can be addressed.
We focus on three key pillars:
1. The Gut-Immune Connection
Nearly 70-80% of your immune system resides in your gut. Your gut microbiome is responsible for “training” your immune cells to distinguish between friend and foe. When your gut lining is compromised (a condition known as “leaky gut” or intestinal permeability), undigested food particles and toxins can enter your bloodstream. This puts your immune system on high alert, causing it to overreact to harmless substances like pollen or pet dander.
2. The Fire of Chronic Inflammation
An allergic reaction or an asthma attack is, at its core, a massive inflammatory response. If your body is already in a state of chronic, low-grade inflammation due to your diet or other lifestyle factors, your baseline is already elevated. This means any encounter with a trigger will result in a much faster and more severe reaction. The goal is to lower your baseline inflammation, making you less reactive overall.
3. Critical Nutrient Deficiencies
Specific nutrients are essential for a balanced immune response and healthy respiratory function. Deficiencies in key players like Vitamin D (a powerful immune modulator), Magnesium (a natural smooth muscle relaxant for the airways), and Omega-3 fatty acids (which are anti-inflammatory) are common and can significantly worsen allergic and asthmatic symptoms.
How CSLC CAP Helps Calm the System
Our Clinically Supervised Lifestyle Correction (CSLC CAP) program is a structured approach to address these root causes:
- Heal the Gut: We implement protocols to repair the gut lining and rebalance the microbiome.
- Reduce Inflammation: We guide you on a personalized anti-inflammatory diet, identifying and eliminating your specific food triggers.
- Restore Nutrients: We assess and correct key nutrient deficiencies that are critical for immune balance.
Who Can Benefit from This Second Opinion?
This approach offers new hope if you:
- Suffer from chronic allergic rhinitis (hay fever), sinusitis, or eczema.
- Are reliant on daily controller inhalers or antihistamines to function.
- Experience adult-onset asthma and want to understand the underlying cause.
- Are frustrated by the limitations of your current allergy and asthma management.
Take the First Step Towards Lasting Relief
If you are ready to look beyond simply managing symptoms and want to address the root cause of your allergies and asthma, our second opinion is your next logical step. Let us help you find why your body is overreacting and create a plan to restore immune balance.
Unique Advantage Of Second Opinion At Dr Jolly Thomson’s Life Care Centre
- Conventional modern medical treatment protocols are based on the available human trials conducted by developers- the pharmaceutical and surgical instruments industry.
- Therefore treatment protocols are similar all over the world. Difference in treatment at different treatment centres depends on the infrastructure of the centre and availability of latest equipment and pharmaceutical agents.
- An unbiased second opinion about a surgical or medical intervention can come only from a treatment centre which is not only well aware of all the latest developments but not depending on surgical or pharmaceutical interventions.
- Universally lifestyle correction is the first line of management for lifestyle diseases. Only when the patient is not able to correct their lifestyle effectively do doctors prescribe medication. But effort for lifestyle correction should be continued along with chronic medication and also after surgical intervention to deal with the co-morbidities of the disease process or side effects of chronic medications.
- Life Care Centre offers scientific and evidence-based treatment approach focussing not on medical or surgical remedies, but concentrating to find the root cause in the patient’s lifestyle and helping out with CSLC CAP – Clinically Supported Lifestyle Correction with cell activation protocol to reverse the disease processes.
Unique Advantage Of CSLC CAP
- Most lifestyle diseases coexist and patients will have more than one disease or many diseases and discomforts. In conventional medical treatment protocol, lifestyle diseases are seen and treated separately by concerned specialists with specific medications for that particular disease condition or surgical interventions focussing on symptomatic relief.
- In CSLC CAP the first step is on identifying the root cause in current lifestyle. Then focusing on eliminating the causative factors and helping to provide an enabling environment for repair of the body at cellular level by ensuring optimal nutrition, activity and minimizing toxin. Therefore CSLC CAP practice addresses all the lifestyle associated health issues simultaneously and gets relief for all health issues through a single protocol.
- With CSLC CAP support most of the patients are able to come out of most of the medications for lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, arthritis, allergy, liver kidney diseases etc within a month.
Limitations Of CSLC CAP
- Willingness of the patient to make changes in lifestyle including food habits and activity pattern and invest time and resources for the purpose is essential. In CSLC CAP a patient is an active participant in treatment not just an on looker as in other conventional medical systems.
- The mental and physical ability of the patient to understand and do mild to moderate physical activity in lying and sitting position is essential.
- Children below 10 years are not generally suitable for CSLC CAP.
- Minors below 18 years if joining CSLC CAP at least one parent should also join the program and understand, support and guide the child.
- Patients with severe hearing, visual, mental impairment if joining CSLC CAP, one of the close family members who is residing with the patient and taking care of the patient should also join, learn and practice the program to fully understand and support the patient.
- Those with severe deformities, movement restriction, failure of multiple organs etc are not suitable for CSLC CAP.
- In case of organ failure success depends on the stage of the organ failure and the ability of the patient’s immune system for repair.
- Support of the close family members and friends, especially those staying with the patients has a major impact on the success of the treatment.
- The speed and extent of relief depends on the body’s ability to repair and the willingness and efforts of the patient to practice CAP principles.
- Even after the correction of body and blood parameters and tapering of medication, practicing the CAP principles and maintaining body and blood parameters are crucial for maintaining health.
