Exposure to dust mite and pet allergen are widely accepted to be one of the most important causes of allergic disease for many people. And, continued exposure aggravates allergic illnesses,which can lead to the development of others.
Allergies are also risk factors for the development of more serious, chronic and
even life threatening illnesses like asthma and sinusitis.
In 2002, the National Institutes of Health published the results of a 3- year study determining that 46%of North American homes have bedding with enough dust mite allergen to cause allergies. Of these homes, 24% had levels that were five times greater than the threshold to cause allergic reactions! Doctors now recommend that the most important way to reduce symptoms, control and even prevent the development of allergies and asthma is to avoid or minimize exposure to these indoor allergens.
The place of exposure to the greatest amount of allergen for the longest amount of time is in the bedroom. Up to 60% of the dust mites found in the home are actually living in your bed and you spend about one-third of your life in the bedroom! And, bedrooms are the easiest area to control as an allergen free zone. Therefore, the bedroom is the highest priority treatment area.
While servicing the bedroom is the highest priority, significant benefits may also result from cleaning and treating other areas where allergy sufferers spend lots of time. These areas include the upholstered furniture and carpeting in rooms where time is spent watching television, reading and so on. Also, all carpeted areas and upholstery that pets have access to should be cleaned and treated.
You already know that successfully managing allergic illness consists of doing everything you can from taking your medication to practicing good Environmental Control. The most important objective of Environmental Control is to minimize or avoid exposure to allergens from dust mites and pets, the most potent allergens found in indoor air.
Understanding Allergies and Asthma
Allergic illnesses develop when the body is overexposed to certain allergens. In effect, the body programs itself to consider these normally harmless substances as illness causing intruders to be defended against. The way the immune system guards the body is by producing what are known as IgE antibodies. This continued allergen overexposure not only causes the allergic illness but can also result in the development of other ones as well as much more serious, chronic and even life threatening allergic diseases.
Allergens are proteins that have unique shapes that identify them as allergens to the antibodies
in the immune system. The allergen is like a lock and the antibody is like a key that fits only that lock. The body’s IgE antibodies are constantly on the lookout for the presence of the allergen they were created in response to, sort of like keys floating around the immune system looking for the locks they were created to fit.
When these antibody “keys” find a repetitive pattern of allergen “locks”,the body defends against these perceived intruders by the antibodies binding with the allergen, much like inserting a key into a lock. This sets off a chemical reaction
designed to protect the body from infection. This rush of chemicals into the body is what is experienced as an allergic reaction or asthma attack.

concentration of Der p 1 (dust mite allergen) in pooled house dust samples by 90%.” Dust Mite Allergen Denaturation: A Trial of Allergy Relief Treatment Richard Thorogood, MI Bio., Auckland University School of Medicine
How Allergy Relief Treatment TMWorks
Allergy Relief Treatment™ is a very safe, simple and highly effective way of changing the shape of allergen proteins, making them unrecognizable to the body!
Nothing about the allergen is changed except its shape. So, when this shape is changed, there is no repetitive pattern that identifies the material as an allergen and
therefore, there is no allergic reaction! Another way of looking at it is that Allergy Relief Treatment™ disassembles or takes apart the allergen locks. In a very real way, the lock is still there. Only now it is in the form of its component parts rather than an assembled lock. Because allergens no longer appear as a “lock” to the body, the antibody “key” does not bind with them and there is no allergic reaction! This changing of the shape of the allergen protein is known as denaturing and has been proven by Professor T.A.E. Platts-Mills, Headof the Division of Allergy and ClinicalImmunology at the University of Virginia.
Cleaning Alone is Not Enough
While cleaning is important, no matter how spotless your home,dustmites can’t be eliminated or cleaned away. In the case of pet allergies, most people can’t bear to part with a beloved family pet even though this is the number one recommendation of doctors. That’s why All Pro Carpet uses specialized cleaning agents to remove as much allergen and allergen food source as possible followed by application of the Allergy Relief Treatment™ that inactivates the allergens, preventing them from causing an allergic reaction.
The active ingredient in Allergy Relief Treatment™has been scientifically proven
to reduce indoor allergen concentrations below the levels that can cause allergy symptoms
