Cerebral Allergy

This is an allergy to a substance, which targets the brain tissue and alters its functions. This kind of allergy can mimic symptoms of mental illness ranging from lack of focus and comprehension, to lack of organizational skills, abrupt shifting of activities, severe psychotic state, mood swings, irrational behaviour,  loss of insight, delusions, panic, anxiety, paranoia and hallucinations.  Caffeine allergy is a cerebral allergy.  This type of allergy manifests as anaphylaxis.  Anaphylaxis normally paralyzes the higher cerebral function and the body enters a “fight or flight” state.  Caffeine anaphylaxis also causes cerebral vasculitis which soon leads to the breakdown of blood brain barrier.  This causes for the brain cells to be poisoned. 

One of the most common childhood and adult problems in the world today is Attention Deficit Disorder and yet you see the same people who have been diagnosed with such illness running around with a coffee or a caffeinated drink in their hands.

Inability to concentrate, lack of comprehension, hyperactivity, disorganized thoughts and delusions are all trademarks of caffeine allergy.  The reaction to caffeine results in poisoning of the prefrontal cortex.  The damage to the underside area, above the eye sockets leaves the person absent minded and unable to monitor personal activities.  These people normally complain of lack of focus, failing memory and other abnormalities.  Caffeine causes faster speech in children but as adults who are caffeine addicts it is hard for us to detect.  We always need to remember that we were born “relaxed”.

American Psychiatric Association labels caffeine as “substance”.  The intoxication according to APA can result in disturbance in attention, perception, judgment and motor activity, also bringing about restlessness, agitation, irritability and delirium.  Yet they still place our children on Ritalin and adults on medications and drugs instead of simply taking the caffeine away from our diets.

For those who switch to decaffeinated coffee, the bad news is the chemical processing that needs to take place to take the caffeine out.

Symptoms of caffeine withdrawal can be different from person to person, one of which being depression. There are hundreds of references on this point from books to research and internet articles.  Please consider reading them.
