Regain Health with Allergy Relief SupplementsIt's hard to believe that allergies aren't "serious" when you are having an attack! Your nose is running, you're sneezing, the inside of your mouth is itching and burning, and you're completely miserable. Then there can be more serious complications, such as asthma attacks, skin reactions, and even the life threatening complication known as anaphylactic shock. My Allergy ExperiencesWhen I was a kid, I didn't have allergies. I first developed them while I was in college. Every spring I would think that I had caught a cold...only I could never seem to get over it, and after a few weeks, it would go into bronchitis that lingered for months.By my junior year, someone finally told me that I was having allergy attacks and not just a "cold". The symptoms were the same, so how was I to know? I think the allergy specialist I finally saw, diagnosed it as "allergic rhinitis". I started taking about a thousand milligrams of diphenhydramine hydrochloride a day. I've also taken Allegra, Claritin, and Zyrtec over the years. Nothing really seemed to work very well for long. I was even on desensitization shots for over five years, after a specialist informed me my allergies were bad enough I might develop asthma, if I didn't take them. However, in spite of the shots, I never saw my symptoms improve much. I could control them with the prescriptions, but they never went away. What causes Allergies?I've always understood allergies are caused by an overzealous immune system, that reacts to some harmless particle in the environment as though it were a deadly invader.For example, I've tested allergic to almost every pollen under the sun, as well as dust mites, (a microscopic animal found in common house dust). Since some type of pollen is almost always in the air, and house dust is impossible to entirely eliminate, I have problems with allergies most of the year. Of course, this is a simplification of the problem, but after rechecking my understanding by reading through Wikipedia's explanation, it is fairly accurate. Allergy Relief -
Most prescriptions used to control allergies are antihistamines. They work by short circuiting the body's immune response so that you don't get the symptoms. |

The first I took was a super food supplement. I started taking it to help with the "whatever".
The doctor's had diagnosed it as irritable bowel syndrome, but I didn't think I had those symptoms at all. The doctor's didn't know what was wrong, so that's the label they gave it.
Anyway, after I started taking the super food regularly, I noticed that I quit having allergy symptoms. However, I had to take so much of the super food, that eventually I decided it would be better to take less of the super food and a little allergy medicine too, since my insurance paid for the allergy medicine.

I discovered that I could take this herb, and not need to take any allergy medicine. My husband has been able to do the same thing. I need to take it four times a day, but he only needs it twice.
I can't know if they would work for everyone, but these allergy relief supplements did work for us. They are more economical than our insurance deductibles for the medicines were, and I believe they are better for us too.
However, over time it seems even supplements don't continue to work as well, so I've also added bee pollen to the mix after finding it in the research I did for this page originally.

He tried bee pollen on the advice of colleagues and patients who had been helped by it. I tried it last year and have found it helpful, although I've never been able to quit taking it without the allergic symptoms returning.
His biggest caution about bee pollen is that you should not use it at all if you are allergic to bee stings. He also says that some people might get some digestive upset with it.
The usual dosage is two capsules daily for chronic health conditions, but for relief of severe symptoms four to eight capsules can usually be taken without harm.
He recommends opening one capsule and placing a small amount on your tongue. If you have any allergic reaction at all, you should avoid it, but otherwise you should be safe.
He also cautions that some sources can be contaminated from air pollution or chemicals, so be sure the company you buy these allergy relief supplements from offers a quality product, and they test for purity.
Additionally, when I used the Total Body Cleanse I wrote about, I was able to stop taking all the allergy relief supplements I'd been using before, and still have no allergy symptoms at all.
What made that more remarkable was that we were traveling in Florida and Puerto Rico at the time, and I usually have far more trouble with allergies there than I do here. If you'd like all the details of this supplement's benefits, click on the preceding link.
Two Final Supplements From Research
Another allergy relief supplement I've recently become aware of is called Digestaqure. Although I'm not compensated financially for the recommendation, this company makes a product designed to heal the root cause of allergies, namely, the body's over reaction to harmless "allergens".A final approach to curing allergies is known as The Allergy Kit. It is a natural, do-it-yourself treatment plan that works, based on homeopathic principles. For more information, or to get your basic kit, click on the preceding link.
I've not yet tried these supplements, but I'm hoping to do so in the future, because I suspect they could resolve allergies by curing their underlying cause.
The great thing about this approach would be that allergic reactions would simply disappear. I don't know about you, but that sounds wonderful to me!

Recommendations
When you try allergy relief supplements, I recommend you start by taking the supplements along with your prescriptions for a week or so, then cut back on the medicines to see if you still need them. That will give the allergy relief supplements a chance to start working before you don't have the medicines in your system to stop your symptoms. Also, I would keep a few of the allergy pills on hand until you are sure you won't need them.
Of course you should talk with your doctor and let him know what you are planning to do, and keep him informed of what helps you.
I have certainly been thankful to find allergy relief supplements that have eliminated our need for prescription allergy medications.
