- Title
CASE STUDY: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT REGIMEN IN REDUCING IgG-MEDIATED FOOD SENSITIVITY IN ADHD.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article presents a case study about the effectiveness of a dietary supplement regimen in reducing immunoglobulin G (IgG)-mediated food sensitivity in ADHD. Immunologic response to allergens varies depending on the level of exposure. Low-exposure antigens, such as house dust and pollen, trigger immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody recognition, which results in histamine release and a cascade of immunologic events designed to sequester and destroy the antigen. On some occasions, these events, cumulatively termed a type I reaction, can escalate to the severity of anaphylaxis and death.
