Re: which came first, the allergies or the disease? (edited)

 What do you think causes your allergies?

Allergies stem from adrenal gland dysfunction. Normally when we are exposed to an allergen the adrenals respond by releasing epinephrine and corticosteroids to counter allergic responses. The epinephrine counters histamine and leukotrienes, while the corticosteroids are immune modulators and anti-inflammatory. When you go to the doctor for allergies, including asthma, the allergic responses are treated with epinephrine and/or steroids. Both of these substances are produced by the adrenal glands, and the doctors are therefore substituting the drugs for what healthy adrenal glands would be normally be putting out in sufficient quantities.
