Micronutrient deficiencies can promote inflammation and render the immune system particularly sensitive to allergenic substances. In particular, iron deficiency signals danger to immune cells and leads to a more pronounced, exaggerated immune response.
The background: A hyperactive immune system sets the body on alert and inhibits adequate absorption of iron—even though this is precisely the micronutrient needed to moderate the overreaction. To compensate micronutritional deficiencies in immune cells, the team developed a lozenge.
The lozenge is based on whey protein beta-lactoglobulin from cows, which acts as a carrier for numerous micronutrients. "Thanks to this carrier, absorption takes place via the lymph instead of blood vessels—in other words, exactly where immune cells are present in abundance ensuring micronutrient uptake in a targeted manner," explains Franziska Roth-Walter.
Since a tablet only contains a very small amount of iron, less than one milligram, it is not considered an iron supplement. Instead, the micronutrients are in a suitable form to be carried by the whey protein beta-lactoglobulin and thus to the immune cells. Supplementation with this lozenge significantly reduced the symptom burden in birch and grass pollen-allergic individuals.
In addition, after six months of intake, there was an improvement identifiable in the iron status of circulating monocytes and red blood cell parameters. Supplementation with the lozenge resulted in a 45% reduction of the Combined Symptom Medication Score, a measure for the symptoms and medication use, during the peak birch pollen season.
"Supplying the immune cells with micronutrients via the lozenge showed a strikingly similar efficacy, but in a completely allergen-independent and universal way," clarifies Franziska Roth-Walter. The study presents a new approach in the care of allergy sufferers. In this approach, a dietary measure is used to reduce the underlying hypersensitivity of the immune cells to allergenic substances rather than targeting the allergy itself.

Micronutrient deficiency is probably the ultimate cause of most maladies in the population.
Hmm. Was there not a link between iron (high/low?) and severity of Covid symptoms early? Cannot remember, might have been also a matter of blood type. Who posted on that . . .
Marked for later study
Count me in!
Regards,
IIRC, blood type was mentioned early on in Covid, with type “O” being at lower risk of severe Covid than type ”A”.
O-, to be specific.
I think I really am part-cockroach.
I don’t seem to be at risk of very much.
If you are not allergic to milk.
My allergists have been stuck in concrete regarding my sensitivities.
They seem singularly uninterested in finding out what is causing them or trying to find some way of treating them. They just wash their hands of it and suggest a different specialist.
The medical community as a whole has no interest in dealing with someone who has unusual conditions. They are fine with the easy answers ones, like diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, osteoporosis, etc. But present them with something unusual and debilitating, and they just aren’t interested in exploring it any more.
I have learned more about what I am dealing with online than I have from any doctors. I present them with research and papers I have found and they have never heard of it before. And they are supposed to be the medical professionals who know better.
You are very fortunate indeed.
Some scientists believe that the (-) rhesus is not of earthly origin, because all human blood should be rhesus (+)
On what do they base that conclusion?
Do they not allow for mutations and evolution?
If your body is fully nutritioned, it should work just fine.
It’s just what some think.
Yes. Trying to remember who posted that and from whence came their information. Have anecdotal confirmation of that particular bit of info, but remember something else regarding iron.
Seemed to be regarding excess iron in blood as promoting severe covid reactions, but - there is that retired chiropractor on the Stew Peters show and Rumble miez - Arden? Ardis? - who believes strongly and presented some evidence that the c19 is not a virus but synthesized reptile and marine shellfish peptides - and they may be highly reactive to iron as part of their blood-clotting action.
This very unfortunate and very true of the medical community. The want horses not zebras as their saying goes. With the imosion of the medical system during Covid and the complete take over by large corporations abd even equity funds it will only get worse. I find them to be perilous places. You are smart to do your own research.
Hemachromatosis/iron overload is one of the most common hereditary illnesses yet the medical community does not routinely screen for it. It causes many problems that are attributed to other things as a result and treated improperly.
Theoretically, that could be true I suppose, in so e world divorced from reality.
There are an awful lot of conditions that happen in spite of that.
I know some people who have been nutrition nuts for decades and are still struggling with some serious health issues.
Our food isn’t the quality it used to be as well.
Once the damage is done, it can’t always be repaired through a good diet. So, it is possible your friends adopted good diets, but the damage was done and could not be undone.

I think that was vidamin D2..(?)
Wow, that should have been “vitamin” D2 and 3
