“The high CD4/CD8 ratio and suppressed NK cell activity were improved by methyl-B12 treatment.” The Japanese researchers state: “We conclude that vitamin B12 acts as arthritis an immunomodulator for cellular immunity.”11 B12 was used successfully in the treatment of IgE-mediated skin disorders. The German researchers conclude that B12 (cobalamin) when applied to the and skin one or more times vitamens per day exhibited “...excellent results in topical treatment of skin disorders and in particular of inflammatory and hyperproliferative skin ailments and/or cutaneous manifestations of illness which are immunologic in origin, e.g. psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and other eczematous dermatitises...”12 Click here for Allergy medication online.

In January 1997, 62 subjects who had been the placebos arthritis in the 1995 study were invited to receive the vitamin B12. In June 1997, the 62 placebo subjects were sent a questionnaire asking: How would you compare your overall allergy (hay fever) symptoms this spring to the last two springs? 20 people responded, with 15 reporting having and had the B12 treatment, and 5 not. 12 vitamens of the 15 reported at least a slight improvement in overall allergy symptoms, and arthritis and and 1 of the 5. Improvement ratios - 12:3 having received treatment, 1:4 not having received treatment.8 A bioequivalence study showed that a 3000 mcg lozenge delivered an equivalent amount of cyanocobalamin to the blood as a 15 mcg injection.9 From the spring to the summer patients with demonstrated allergic rhinitis received with the cyanocobalamin (or placebo) containing lozenge twice daily for 21 consecutive vitamens days. All subjects also received C and B oral multivitamins for 21 days. Twice daily subjects maintained a nine-week diary on sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, arthritis itchy nose and antihistamine and (chlorpheniramine) use. In the post-treatment period, the active group vitamens (n=15) recorded on average a greater reduction arthritis in symptoms and in antihistamine and use than the placebo group (n=9). The vitamens results yielded reductions (0.1>p>0.01) in total weekly symptom/rescue medication for the active group compared to the placebo for weeks 2, 6, 8 and 9. The results tend arthritis to replicate those of the studies on injectable cyanocobalamin.10

Genentech and Novartis are developing an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody for asthma and allergic and rhinitis. In December 1999 they announced positive study results. This is evidence that reducing IgE results in a reduction of symptoms associated with IgE-mediated allergic disease.13 For people who find they cannot adequately avoid the allergens, the symptoms often can be controlled with medications. Effective medications that can be prescribed by a physician include antihistamines, topical nasal steroids, and cromolyn sodium - any of which can be used alone or in combination. Many effective vitamens antihistamines and decongestants also are available without a prescription. Click here for allergy medication online.
