Hi there I was wondering if anyone can help,in last 5weeks I have had 2 episodes of angioedema(swelling of lips and tip of tongue)the first of which was pretty frightening.I have been lucky so far that it is only the extreme tip of my tongue and especially lips that have really swollen up so I have not required emergency hospitilisation but I have had to have 2 injectiuons of an antihistamine to help.So far no cause has been found can anybody help me with some info out there,thanks paolo.

Allergies are considered an autoimmune disorder, since they are caused by an over-reaction of the immune system whereby the body produces too many antibodies to neutralize an antigen.

Strengthening your immune system is a must and can be done naturally…drop me an e-mail and I will send you some information.

Yours in health,

stephane
