:shock:
I will write it like that from now on ...
Thank god I never had any allergies. I cannot even start to imagine how awful it must be to have spring spoiled by that nuisance :(
I hope you will all get through the season with a little annoyance as possible.
I used to take prednisone, Cingulair, Sudafed, Rhinocort, Nasonex, and albuterol during allergy season, for YEARS...now I only take red sudafed if I'm having a 'bad day'...other than that, Neti Pot every day.

Yes, I love the sensation of drowning without the inconvenience of having to get very wet.

I remember the time I went through a half a box of tissues.. :oops:
Wow, you have allergies too?
Or was there Lubriderm harmed as well?
oh yeah, 6 years and no prescription allergy meds. :thumbup:
Basically you are washing away all of the allergens/pollen that are in your nasal passages, the ones that irritate your sinuses and cause them to become inflamed. Takes some practice to get the hang of it, I like the negative gravity kind-the squeeze bottle.

So, I never had allergies till a couple of years ago - pretty much wind/dry weather-related stuff.
But how do you know when it's that or an actual cold? Both leave me feeling the same way (and I typically take nothing in either case other than self-medication).
By the way. Every time i clean my ears, I yell OWE!
This is actually really good when you have a really bad cold-related stuffed nose. At least I thought so
Fuck you pollen!
1. Eliminate processed grains. For awhile we actually eliminated all grain but that was really tough. Now we stick with really high quality sprouted grains or at least whole grains. No processed carbs. If it comes in a box with a plastic bag inside, it's not really food.
2. Super high quality and dose of the right probiotics.
3. Try to eat local organic produce if possible
4. Raw local honey... Very important for seasonal allergies bc the bees are eating the local pollen that you are reacting to. Eat it raw and unpasteurized, unprocessed so all the good stuff is there still
5. Eat fermented foods regularly... Kefir, kimchi, fermented pickles, high bacteria count yogurt
I noticed that after making these changes NONE of us suffered from seasonal allergies! I had suffered my whole life terribly. I lived on antihistamines in the spring and fall. My middle kid was the same way. Now I can't remember the last time I bought antihistamine. It was a very happy consequence of the changes my family made to help my son get better. The docs explain it such.... When your system (liver primarily responsible for ridding the body if toxins) is overwhelmed by toxins (food chemicals, environmental pollution, chemical, cleaners, pollen) at some point it can't keep up so the "bucket" overflows and spills back into the system. The immune system responds,as it should, and attacks which causes the symptoms of the allergic reaction. If you keep your self clean, your detox system can handle the pollen and then no reaction. The probiotics and intestinal healing diet work because your digestive system is the first line of defense from keeping out all the bad stuff that's trying to get in. I used to have a ton of research saved to back all of this up but just don't have it saved anymore. Keep in mind I'm not a doctor just a mom who committed countless hours researching and then countless headaches to changing her family's habits and saw dramatic and lasting results. I encourage you to do your own research. The change won't be immediate either. It takes time but I feel it's much better to fix the problem than to treat the symptoms. I love to walk right up to the flowers now and take a good sniff of their beautiful scent!
Peace to you all!

And....Tried not to make this too long but I can't help it...:roll: we have had friends make these changes too with the same results and I belong to a support network of other moms of kids with allergies who have all had success or are on the path toward success. If one person reads this and starts researching on their own then the time spent typing on this damn iPhone and your time spent reading wasn't wasted.
