The present invention aims to elucidate the relationship between fulvic
acid contained in a humic substance and the onset mechanism of the type I
allergy, and inhibits the onset of the type I allergy using the fulvic
acid.
The present invention provides a type I allergy inhibitor which inhibits
an antigen sensitization phase or/and an antibody sensitization phase,
and the degranulation phase of cells with fulvic acid and a composition
containing at least the fulvic acid. Moreover, the present invention
provides a method for inhibiting the onset of the type I allergy by
performing a specific hyposensitization treatment using the fulvic acid
and, in particularly, a method for inhibiting an antigen sensitization
phase or/and an antibody sensitization phase with fulvic acid. Or, the
present invention provides a method for inhibiting the onset of the type
I allergy by performing a nonspecific hyposensitization treatment using
fulvic acid.
