Allergies: A Real-Life Case Study from Our Practice

Back in March, we shared a lot of information about allergies (read the articles here). Many affected individuals treat only the symptoms of allergies year after year and feel helpless when it comes to finding the right therapy. That’s why today we want to present a case study from our practice in more detail.

The Case

A young up-and-coming manager in his mid-20s came to our practice with a pained expression and classic symptoms: pale skin, watery eyes, skin rash on the neck and behind the ears. His breathing was wheezy and rattling. He reported that four years earlier, after swimming, he went on a moped ride in a wet shirt. That same evening, he developed a feverish cold. He received standard antibiotic treatment but continued working. The symptoms subsided, but after three weeks, a skin rash appeared on his neck and behind his ears, which became extremely itchy in warm conditions. Additionally, he developed watery, itchy, burning eyes and a runny nose. The diagnosis: allergic diathesis — neurodermatitis and hay fever.

This time, he was treated with antihistamines and cortisone. The illness quickly subsided, only to return eight days later as another cold. An ENT doctor cleaned his sinuses and removed his tonsils. Two weeks later, the patient developed asthma. He now feared for his professional future — how could he cope with the pressure in his current condition?

How Can I Recognize an Allergy?

The first step in our practice was examining the young man's immune system. On one hand, there was an extremely overactive immune response, and on the other, a lack of activity in the phagocytes — a typical profile of severe allergic disposition.
Stool analysis revealed high levels of yeast colonization and a deficiency in beneficial gut bacteria.
We prescribed black seed oil for inhalation and tea use. This was combined with echinacea preparations over an extended period. He also received autologous blood therapy, urine injections, and desensitization. Gut rehabilitation followed. Later, we used the immunomodulator Ribomunyl as a special treatment for the lungs. This immune-balancing substance contains protein components from key pathogens in the bronchotracheal tract and boosts IgA antibodies in that region threefold. From the twelfth day onward, clear improvement was observed. Rashes subsided, and breathing became easier.

After four weeks, the hay fever was gone. After twelve weeks, the patient had fully recovered and was back to full capacity. Unsurprisingly, he advanced into the leadership team of his company.
