Nowadays we may talk easily about the true aspects of allergy. Twenty six years ago it was very difficult to state own opinion about true cause of allergic diseases and reactions. As time past, the works in view of our statements have appeared in print. In 2000 we applied the final results of our researched to many international medical organizations and associations of specialists (dermatologists, allergologists, acarologists) from various countries. The main objective was to involve as many researchers as possible into solution of the problem. We are please to see that at present the opinions similar to ours are announced in foreign press, but they are miles from the complete solution of the problem. Allergy is too multi-faced disease. That is a major reason of earlier delusions of researches and sufferings of people with this disease.

Each third or forth inhabitant of any country have allergy. This fact makes the European scientists to acknowledge the epidemic incidence of allergy among population. The similar situation is forecasted by the American scientists. That’s why allergy is called the 21st century plague. The people suffer from allergy but not able to recover fully from it as at present allergy is recognized by official medicines as a cureless disease.

Do we know what is allergy in fact? At first sight this question seems absurd. “Everybody knows about it.” – you say – Nowadays even infants feel allergy! A child able to go to kindergarten is already aware of this nice word». Most of adults diagnose allergy in themselves if suddenly feel skin itch or any skin rash appears, or they start sneezing head off, coughing or their eyes tear. Only in case of stable and ongoing preservation of the symptoms as described above such people start applying for medical aid. In most of cases such events pass aidless. Many people run to the drugstore, buy widely-advertised antiallergenic preparations and practice self-treatment.

The beginning of 1980s comes into mind. The information about allergy was less known among people. Those years this disease proceeded easily. Actually there were no fatal cases. In connection with it we can not but remember one conversation with the patient. In the course of the conversation about allergy he said: “Allergy? Is it a disease? Just scratching, blowing your nose – and that’s all! No one dies of allergy”. And he laughed after saying it.

Can the present-day allergic individuals afford laughing likewise at this disease? For the last three decades the run of this disease has become more severe. The incidence rate becomes more rapid. The fatal outcomes of allergic reactions and diseases happen frequently. All researchers in the world indicate such run of this disease. What is it connected with? Why does this event occur in opposite way instead of decrease in incidence rate or full liquidation of allergy in consideration of the developed medicine and its special branch – allergology? The answer is obvious. It means that practice fully disproves the existing scientific theories of allergy.

Pursuant to the medicine, allergy is a hypersensitive state of living organism to allergens which progresses under their repeated exposure. The allergens are substances or factors of chemical, physical, biological and other origins. The physiological mechanism of allergy is in formation of antibodies in the body of sick person. Allergy may occur at any age. It has various rates. Besides the clinic manifestations of allergy do not depend on properties of allergen, its dose and ways of exposure to human body. Allergy manifests in strong irritation and edema of mucous membranes, skin, general uneasiness and etc. Nowadays the allergic component is not the last amongst reasons of progress of most human diseases. It means that many human diseases refer to allergy. Having the working experience of ophthalmologist, therapist, gastroenterologist in 1970s we faced paradoxical fact. Despite of the fact that the microscopic Demodex mites discharged from the skin of some patients with pathology of liver and gastrointestinal tract, these patients were considered by the specialists (dermatologists and allergologists) as non-contagious for other people. In the following years we devoted our medical work to research study of this fact.

34 years past since that time. These years were devoted to more detailed study of the problem of allergy and allergodermatosis and development of radical methods for their treatment. Moreover we studied demodecosis, dermatophagoidosis, sarcoptic scab and some other acariases (in specialized literature the disease caused by mites is called acarias, the word “acarus” means a mite) in patients, starting from the most early clinical implications and up to the most improbable complications, including allergic ones. We studied in more detail the information about Demodex, Dermatophagoid, itch mite and family of mites, available in various branches of biology.

We learned from the scientific publication of XVIII – XX centuries about the damage which mites of various genus and species made to human being. Simultaneously we have been perfecting the clinical method in diagnosis of mite affection of human skin. Actually we have been perfecting the clinical method in diagnosis of acarias which most frequent clinical mask is allergy. During 1993-1995 the clinical method in diagnosis of acarias has been compared with the results obtained in the laboratory researches of patients’ skin which being conducted according to either well-known or developed methods by various authors, including ours. Anatomical identification of mites discovered while examining the patients was carried out by well-known acarologist, doctor of biological sciences, V.N.Kussov.

As the saying is that it's better to see something once than hear about it a hundred times. But we evidenced many times the natural spread of acarias among surrounding people but also morbidized the disease in the volunteer as an experiment, and developed its radical treatment.

The result of our many years’ researches is the conclusion as follows. As of today no one has studied and described allergy as an entire disease in the clinical medicine. The official science, allergology, studied and provided the description of only interim, middle part of this multi-faced disease called by them as allergy. But neither its pathology nor its various complications correlate with the allergy interpreted by the scientists. In a word, allergy is only one of the clinical masks which acarias has – primary chronic infectious disease caused by combination of microscopic mites with other microorganisms as fungi, viruses, bacteria and etc.

Based on the statistics of allergy prevalence all over the world and true infectious nature of this disease we may state about existence of acarias pandemic on the planet. It is established that during any epidemic the cases of disease and non-symptomatic carriage of infectious matter occur. But thorough knowledge of acarias clinical picture allows to state that actually the symptoms of the disease are always in evidence. At earlier stage of the disease these symptoms are so minimal that an incompetent specialist does not notice them but an experienced specialist can identify them with the naked eye.

The assertion of the true origin of allergy as an infectious pathology causes inadequate reaction of medical workers and patients. Meanwhile at present there is no one left (including infants) who has not been affected by mites. No matter how we are ashamed of or conceal our disease if there is no causative treatment provided the disease will steadily progress (which happens at present). In any case the final sorrowful result will come out (which again takes place nowadays). Recovery from allergy is possible only with the proper causative treatment.
