What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You About Seasonal & Environmental Allergies

It’s spring; it is green; it is rebirth – AND our phone is ringing off the hook. People are looking for relief from their coughing, itchy eyes, bronchial spasms, runny noses. They think they have a cold and then realize that they don’t feel sick. They have clear mucus, not green. They have allergies and their bodies are inflamed.

People are looking for immediate relief – and who wouldn’t? Well, it’s time for you, your friends and the people you love to know the score – to understand how to help yourselves. It’s empowering, it saves money in the long run, and it works! Read on.

What most doctors don’t tell you about seasonal and environmental allergies is …

THEY CAN BE ELIMINATED -- without over-the-counter or prescription drugs. Wouldn’t it be great to go through the fall and spring without sinus, throat or lung congestion?  Better yet, wouldn’t it be great to put aside inhalers and steroid meds because you don’t need them?  It is within your potential and I’ll describe what to do.    

Allergy Facts  
Surprisingly, most allergic conditions, rhinitis, asthma, sinusitis are of relatively recent origin, probably due to the increasing burden of toxins in our food and our environment.  
More facts:

• Common allergy symptoms are coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, ears, nose throat, runny nose, difficulty breathing, bronchial spasms, eczema, dermatitis, rashes.
• Allergies can make people feel uncomfortable and can cause pain.
• Allergies are responsible for more visits to the doctor’s office than any single disease in this country.
• There has been 100% increase in allergic rhinitis in developed countries. Some experts label it an epidemic - sneezing, nasal itching, runny nose and congestion.
• Studies have shown that most people with asthma also have seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis.(i)

Children and Allergies
The prevalence of allergies among children in today’s world is astonishing:

• “Allergic disease” is the 3rd most common chronic disease among children under 18 years old.(ii) 
• In 2002, 14% - 9 million children had asthma, a 25% increase over the prior year. (iii)
• Another 9 million children have respiratory allergies or hay fever.(iv)
• Allergic rhinitis affects up to 40% of children.(v)
• On any given day, 10,000 American children miss school because of allergic rhinitis, for an annual total of 2 million lost school days.(vi)

Environmental allergens are the ones most commonly associated with asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis and seasonal allergies:

General: chronic fatigue, joint pain, muscle aches, arthritis
Head: headaches, drowsiness, hyperactivity, panic attacks, depression, learning disabilities, dyslexia
Nose: runny nose, sneezing, post nasal drip, recurrent sinusitis, impaired sense of smell
Ears: ear infections, otitis media, swollen glands, impaired hearing, dizziness, tinnitus
Skin: hives, rashes, eczema, dermatitis, pallor, psoriasis, itching, scaling
Eyes: redness, itching, swelling, tearing, blurred vision
Respiratory: asthma, wheezing, tightness in the chest, cough, recurrent bronchitis
Digestive tract: stomach ache, bloating, irritable bowel, constipation or diarrhea, colitis
Genital-Urinary tract: urinary tract symptoms, vulvadynia, chronic vaginitis, prostatitis

Most medical doctors will tell you that you “just have to live with your allergy symptoms. There is no cure.” But, guess what? There is.

They say that the origins of allergies are unknown. This is just an excuse for not having great success with their medical treatments. There is always a source of origin. The logic prevails.  

Logical Solutions

1)    Eliminate the offenders when you can – dust, mold, chemicals in your household. These cause a toxic overload on your respiratory and immune systems.
2)    Eliminate offenders in your food – artificial additives, artificial sweeteners, pesticides. They can cause bronchial spasm and histamine reactions of the eyes, ears, nose, throat and skin.
3)     Use natural anti-inflammatory and natural anti-histamine nutritional supplements.
4)      Support sinus and lung drainage, lymphatic function, and immune strengthening.

Extra Advice for People with Hay Fever
People with allergies to grass pollens (hay fever) and foods such as bananas, avocados, kiwi, and chestnuts have cross-reactions to latex, because the proteins of these pollens and foods are very similar to those present in latex gloves.  This is one of many instances where seasonal and food allergies can overlap. (Our next newsletter will cover more on the topic of food allergies.)

My favorite allergy relief products are:

• Bio Allergy and Bio Inflammatory caps - with natural anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory properties
• Allerchord II – for reducing symptoms of seasonal and environmental allergies
• Drainage Tone – for opening the channels and releasing blockages
• Sinus Tone – for decongesting the sinuses
• Throat Spray Tone – for reducing inflammation in throat & surrounding tissues
• Animal Dander – for neutralizing allergic reactions induced by cats and dogs

Remember that your body is intelligent and your allergy symptoms are its way of telling you to pay attention.  Know that it is within your power to be free of allergy and asthma symptoms, and – breathe a sigh of relief.

Another example is someone who has inflammatory or histamine reactions to dust, mold or animal hair. Just bring in or send small examples of your surroundings or from your vacuum in a Ziploc bag and we’ll use that to make a custom remedy for you. This acts like a natural immunization. In effect, your body’s immune system responds very favorably and your allergy reactions usually decrease or disappear.
