Allergies are absolutely NO FUN!
This time of the year, I would be extremely remiss if I did not post something about allergies. According to recent statistics, 55% of the U.S. population is tested allergic to at least one allergen and four million work days are lost each year to hay fever alone! According to WebMD an estimate of allergies’ annual cost to society is almost $8 Billion.
But let’s be real..if you’re dealing with allergies you don’t really care about the cost to society or the missed work-days or who else has allergies too, do you? You just wish you could get your nose to stop running, your eyes to stop itching, and stop sneezing long enough to see the TV set! Perhaps you take medicine to deal with your allergies and that helps you…but do you really want to put drugs in your body everyday? The physical cost long term from that might be a lot worse than tolerating the allergies.
Allergies, in general, might not seem like a big deal health wise, because they aren’t life threatening, but take it from me (an allergy sufferer for the first 35 years of my life) they have a major impact on quality of life.
I am tested allergic to all grass and dust. Therefore allergies used to be a problem for me year round. For a great part of those 35 years I had itchy eyes, a stuffed nose, could not taste food, had a challenge breathing, struggles trying to sleep, fatigue, etc. I frequently looked like I had been out all night (although sometimes in my youth..I had!). Allergy medicines always made me feel anxious, restless, and just plain strange. It was either like I was taking speed or like I was drunk. I just couldn’t handle using them.
So for years I just dealt with it. Then in 1996 I discovered a potent antioxidant nutrient that changed everything. When I first heard that it helped allergies, I had a hard time believing it. Of course this was because I didn’t know that nutrients could help the body deal with allergies. I was ignorant…but yet I thought I knew it all…kind of like a teenager!!! Anyway some potent antioxidants inhibit histamine production at the same time they are boosting immunity. This is the magic combination. It’s completely safe and non-toxic and has NO side-effects, other than feeling better and having better skin, circulation, joints, eyes, and a few other things.

I still, 15 years later, test positive for allergies to all grass and dust. I know I am also allergic to various trees, and some other stuff as well. But I don’t have any allergy symptoms. Even though the past several years have been some of the worst ever in our area for allergies. You know what’s even cooler? I have witnessed lots of other people have the same life-changing result as me…all because I shared my story. So if you are an allergy sufferer, don’t despair and don’t settle for medications…go the natural route, feel better, and keep pharmaceutical drugs out of your body and the away from your loved ones!
