This creates, to the greatest possible extent, homes that are allergen free removing the effects of hay fever, neuro-dermititus asthma caused by air allergens and animal hair thus completely alleviating the discomfort imposed from suffering as well as improving quality of life.

The ingredients are extracts from papaya fruit and these break down the protein structures that cause allergic reactions. When inhaled, no allergic reaction is provoked and all Allerg-stop® active substances are harmless to humans and do not show any allergic potential of their own.

Now there is a way to actually inactivate these allergens so that the body does not recognize them and does not trigger an allergic reaction! Instead of trying to eliminate dust mites, for example, or to have a family face the trauma of giving away a child's beloved pet, you can now provide a treatment that will "denature" the most dangerous indoor allergens, rendering them harmless.

This means we can provide immense relief to allergy sufferers, including helping to prevent the development of more serious allergic diseases and even protecting people without allergies from developing them in the first place!

An allergen is a substance found in the indoor or outdoor environment that is normally harmless to most people. Inhalation is the most common route for allergens including those found in the indoor environment, to enter the body. Other allergens enter the body through ingestion (food allergies), skin contact (dermatitis) or injection (drug or bee string allergies).

The first step in the development of allergic disease is a process called sensitisation. Sensitisation occurs when the body is overexposed to certain allergens, causing the immune system to produce what are known as IgE antibodies in response to these specific allergens. For reasons that medical science is not completely sure of, the body mistakes these harmless environmental substances for materials that cause illness, specifically infection, and creates IgE antibodies in order to protect the body from "sickness" when it encounters these substances in the future.

In effect, the body programs itself to consider these harmless substances as enemies to be defended against. A person can become sensitised without expressing allergic illness. Generally, continued overexposure to allergens and other environmental irritants causes the illness to manifest and symptoms to occur. Allergic illnesses often multiply and lead to much more serious, chronic and debilitating ones such as allergic rhinitis patients developing asthma or sinusitis.

Allergens are proteins that have unique shapes that identify them as allergens to the immune system. The allergen is like a lock and the antibody is like continuously in the body, constantly on the lookout for the presence of the allergen they were created in response to, sort of like keys floating around the immune system looking for the locks that were created to fit.

The way IgE antibodies identify allergens that have entered the body involves a kind of confirmation process. The antibodies look for many copies of the allergen protein shape or "lock" in order to confirm that this is indeed the invader that they were created to defend the body against. When these antibody "keys" find a repetitive pattern of the allergen "locks" that they fit, the antibody and the allergen bind together, setting off a chain reaction designed to protect the body from infection. Part of this process is that the body releases chemicals called mediators, such as histamine, that cause what doctors call an "immunologically mediated adverse reaction" or allergic reaction or attack.

In essence, allergic reactions are the body's mistaken reactions to fight off disease when the "invader" is actually a harmless environmental substance. These allergic reactions produce symptoms including itching, coughing, wheezing, sneezing, watery eyes, inflammation and fatigue, which are unpleasant, distressing and frequently debilitating, causing millions of missed school and workdays each year.

Allergies are not only annoying and uncomfortable to say the least, but many have been linked to a variety of very serious chronic respiratory illnesses such as sinusitis and asthma. Allergic reactions can be severe and even fatal, with thousands of deaths being caused by allergic diseases such as asthma each year.

Many people develop allergies simply through overexposure to allergens, especially when they are very young (though some are genetically predisposed to developing allergies). While these are many other risk factors, exposure to indoor allergens is now one of the largest and yet one of the most preventable and controllable causes of allergic illness.

The medical community has identified dust mite and pet allergens as posing the greatest risk for the development of allergies in the first place, continued suffering of those with allergic illness and a component in the development of much more serious allergic diseases such as asthma and sinusitis.
