Allergies, sinusitis, head congestion, sinus headache, cold symptoms or any other name you want to call it, You Are Miserable! The sinus pressure alone is enough to put you to bed for the day. I was an allergy sufferer myself for years before I found out what really caused them. I got allergy shots 3 times per week, for 3 years during the summer months and it helped a little but never got rid of the symptoms.
Are you even a little curious about what I did to eradicate my allergies all together? That's right I was allergic to just about everything outdoors, and I worked out there. My head would fill up, my sinus's would drain, eyes swelled closed, and I sneezed, and sneezed and sneezed. The allergy shots just weren't doing it for me.
It was at that point, I knew I had to do something, traditional medicine just drugged me up, put me to sleep or just made me feel funny all day. I still sneezed and felt horrible while I was under their care. How Frustrating!
I went to my Alternative Doctor, who later became my mentor, to see if he could help me with my allergies. His response was surprising to me, he said he didn't treat allergies, but he would be happy to assist me in making my body so strong it would resist the allergens invasion altogether. I laughed to myself thinking, what do I have to lose.
He said the first step in ridding by body of allergies was to understand where they came from........
I thought thats silly, I know where they came from, the air where else? He proceeded to explain to me "that an allergy, no matter what its origin, the air, food, chemicals etc. is the bodies inability to deal with a foreign substance." It wasn't the pollen causing my allergies, it was my bodies inability to get rid of the pollen that was the problem. He continued that it wasn't a shortage of OTC allergy medicine either that my body mysteriously had. It was my detoxification systems, that were overworked on a regular basis therefore not allowing my body to get rid of the airborne invader. That made a whole lot more sense to me, than lets inject you with the allergen and let your body build an immunity to it! Besides that wasn't working for me.
So, I began his program of detoxification and within 2-3 weeks I was much better. By the end of the month of cleansing I quit my allergy shots. I am happy to report that I am still allergy free today. Does this mean that I don't ever have a allergic reaction to something, No. It does mean that if I do, I recognize that my bodies cleansing systems are working to hard and they need some Help, not some OTC meds.
If you suffer from allergies, when are you going to Take Charge of Your Health, and Live Allergy Free?
The Truth does not vacillate: it is always true.
This makes sense. So what is a good detox "system" to follow?

Hey Susan, You can get a fairly good product at your local health food store. The Brand is "renew life", it is the one I recommend when I can't supervise the patient. It is a safe cleanse without many side effects. The Smart Cleanse is the whole body cleanse, a good place to start. You can also check them out on the web. Good Luck and if you have further questions, please let me know. Blessings, Dr. Trybus
