What are the alternatives to these current drug treatments for allergic reactions?
Various allergy and asthma universities and research centers in Europe and the United States are investigating the option of modulating cytokine levels in the body during an allergic reaction. It is well understood that these cytokine levels become unstable during allergic reactions and may be the triggers that produce these allergy symptoms. If it would be possible to stabilize these cytokine levels it may reduce or eliminate allergy symptoms. RECEPTOL has Proline-Rich Polypeptides that are used in the production of many-many cytokines such as TNF-alpha that modulate cytokine levels and thus indirectly aids in the natural control of cytokine production, which has an effect on our immune system. It has been realized early on that manipulation of the cytokine network may interfere selectively with specific functions. This prospect has created a lot of excitement and scientists are working on many different applications. RECEPTOL is just that. It modulates or stabilizes an overactive or
