Bicom Quantum Medicine Allergy Test
The allergy test at QUANT BGD is performed using the Bicom bioresonance system with Multisoft software, which far exceeds the capabilities of standard Bicom devices.
There are 10,500 frequency “samples” available. This type of allergy testing contains one of the largest ranges of allergens. The precision of testing, based on decades of experience and research, is estimated at 85%. This accuracy rate is entirely sufficient for the successful treatment of allergies since 1978.
The allergy test can be conducted under the effects of allergy medications. It is unnecessary, and for your health, it is not advisable to stop medicated therapy during the peak pollen season if it is necessary.
The Bicom allergy test is painless, non-invasive, and results are obtained immediately after testing. Dr. Katarina Milinovic is a licensed physician specializing in quantum medicine with nine years of experience in the method.
QUANT BGD clinic provides a comprehensive allergy test, rich knowledge, and experience in treating allergies with this method. The application of this allergy test has practically no limitations (except for pacemakers). It can be performed under the effect of any medicated therapy, no preparation for testing is needed, and after the test, you can return to your daily activities without any restrictions.
Every allergy test involves a standard algorithm of Bicom examination, which you can read more about here.
What are pollen allergies?
Pollen allergies were once called seasonal allergic rhinitis. This term is no longer used because pollen allergies are almost never limited to one plant species, and many people exhibit allergic symptoms over several months of the year, from winter to late autumn. The pollen season is not fixed. It depends on climatic conditions. Hazel and alder can start blooming as early as February, grass may bloom until the end of June, and weeds can begin flowering in the last week of July and continue until mid-October.
Alternating sunny and rainy intervals during the growing season ensure prolonged blooming. The severity of allergy symptoms is often underestimated, as it is “just an allergy.” Unfortunately, many people experience pronounced allergy symptoms during the blooming period, suffer from poor sleep, are exhausted, have reduced work capabilities, and have diminished life comfort.
Allergic issues that are localized to the upper respiratory tract often complicate infections and issues of the lower respiratory tracts, and severe forms of allergic rhinitis are complicated by bronchitis. Asthma symptoms are often worsened during this period.
What is pollen?
The cause of allergies is pollen from wind-pollinated plants. Insect-pollinated plants produce less pollen than wind-pollinated plants. Pollen consists of many pollen grains. Pollen grains are tiny, lightweight, and form pollen dust that can be carried by the wind for hundreds of kilometers.
The windier the day, the higher the concentration of pollen in the air. In some people, only a few pollen grains are needed to trigger a severe allergic reaction. For example, six grains of rye pollen per cubic meter of air are enough to cause an allergic reaction in people who are sensitized (for comparison, one rye ear produces several million grains of pollen).
Pollen Allergy
Pollen allergy is not a sign of a weakened immune system, which is a common misconception. Pollen contains water-soluble proteins that are released when they come into contact with mucous membranes. In allergic individuals, the immune system generates IgE antibodies as a reaction to these proteins, which are actually harmless. These antibodies bind to the body’s defense cells, known as mast cells, which then release anti-inflammatory substances such as histamine. Histamine and other substances cause secretion and irritate nerves, causing itching, sneezing, and dilation of blood vessels, leading to redness and swelling of the mucous membranes.
Ragweed Allergy
Ragweed season begins in early August, usually lasts for 10 weeks, and most often ends in mid-October. The highest concentration of ragweed pollen in the air is usually in mid-September. Warm weather, reduced humidity, and light wind are ideal conditions for the formation and release of ragweed pollen.
Pollen concentrations in the air are usually highest in the morning, just after the dew has dried. In the evening, as air moisture concentration increases, so does the concentration of pollen. Ragweed pollen is a powdery substance consisting of tiny particles or grains. A single ragweed plant can produce up to one billion pollen grains, which are carried through the air by the wind. Pollen can get trapped or stick to the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, respiratory tract, and can also accumulate on clothing, hair, and skin.
Ragweed pollen is so light and airy that it can travel great distances — even up to 600km under some circumstances. Thus, even if you live in an area with few ragweed plants, you could still suffer from exposure to ragweed.
Ragweed belongs to the aster family. There are about 50 species of ragweed, native to North America. The most widespread species is Ambrosia artemisiifolia. Most ragweed is annual, meaning it flowers and dies in one season. These plants can grow anywhere and easily adapt to various climates due to their deep roots in the soil.
Common types of ragweed:
Common ragweed plants have a fern-like appearance and are often found in many yards and gardens. They grow about one meter tall and have a series of thin leaves usually arranged opposite each other.
Giant ragweed plants (called Ambrosia trifida) grow between 1-5 meters tall. They look less like ferns and have 3-5 lobed leaves. This type of ragweed is less common.
Lesser ragweed with thin leaves living in low grass is the primary source of allergens. High grass species with yellow flowers (goldenrod) share their seasonal bloom with ragweed and are often blamed for pollen problems, but these plants are not ragweed.
Symptoms of ragweed allergy include:
Can ragweed pollen provoke an asthma attack?
Ragweed pollen can trigger asthma symptoms. When a person with asthma and an allergy to ragweed inhales ragweed pollen, it can cause inflammation and swelling of the airways. The muscles around your airways tighten and spasm, more mucus is produced than usual, which makes it harder for air to enter the lungs. All these factors can lead to increased coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath — classic signs of an asthma attack.
People with asthma must take their prescribed medication regularly. If relief from symptoms does not occur under regular medication, seek emergency medical help. Controlling ragweed allergy can also help control asthma.
Cross-reactivity with ragweed
There are other plants related to ragweed. They can also cause allergy symptoms. Avoid planting sunflowers, sage, marsh elder, rabbit brush, wormwood, and chamomile near your home. Ragweed pollen is similar to proteins in some foods leading to Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS). This manifests as tingling, itching of the lips, throat, sometimes swelling of the lips. This is cross-reactivity with ragweed pollen.
Symptoms
Symptoms mainly occur in areas that come into direct contact with pollen allergens: mucous membranes of the nose, eyes, and mouth. These symptoms can include:
People who are allergic to pollen often have food intolerance. Food intolerance is transient allergenicity that subsides after a few months but worsens allergy symptoms during pollen blooming. The syndrome of pollen food intolerance develops because the proteins in some foods are similar to certain pollen proteins. In people with hay fever, the sensitized immune system to pollen proteins perceives not only pollen but also certain fruits, vegetables, nuts, spices, meat, or fish as a threat and triggers an allergic reaction.
Bicom Bioresonance Allergy Therapy
The goal of therapy is to eliminate food intolerances, reduce sensitivity to pollen (desensitization), and treat infections that often complicate pollen allergies. The therapy is painless, non-invasive, with no side effects recorded during 40 years of application. The therapy lasts 60 minutes, performed once a week, then once every two weeks. The dynamics of therapy depend on the severity of symptoms.
Therapy begins on the eve and is conducted during the blooming season.
