iamtheparty	No, no NO!!! Pills and shots or drugs of any kind (whether over-the-counter or prescription) evntually will not work because your body builds a tolerance to them after time. The best, most effective remedy is to find some raw (unprocessed) honey that is grown very close to where you live/work/go to school. This will boost your immunities to pollen and other irritants. That being said, since allergies are an immune system problem, it is likely that you have an instability or misalignment in your upper cervical complex (your neck might be outta whack). The best chiropractors in the world are a part of the Pettibon System (I am biased because they saved my life). Check 'em out at www.pettibonsystem.com. Good luck!! Was this answer helpful to you?

Carol R	Hi Sheri, Do you know what you are allergic to? You're best bet is to start there. Are you looking for a natural remedy or conventional meds? I'm assuming that you are looking for a natural remedy, right? If so, have a Naturopath doctor do an analysis on you to determine what type of allergies you have. You may be surprised that you may have allergies to certain foods. I'm trying this natural supplement and it seems to help. If you want to know more feel free to e-mail me at www.cmnrobinson@hotmail.com. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

spazchicken	my boyfriend uses stinging Nettle and vitamin C because Clariton/ect. doesn't work for him. It works pretty well Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

soaringbutterfly	That would depend on what type of allergy attack! Whether by contact such as poison Ivy,ingested,or inhaled. Also every person is different,what works well for one may not work as well for someone else. I have allergies to molds,dust mites,tree & grass pollens,ragweed and Goldenrod. Alegra D & Flonase nasal spray along with desensitation shots work well for me. If your symptoms are mild I would try an over the counter product such as Claritin but if you suffer alot from them I would see an allergy specialist who can test you to pinpoint exactly what you are allergic to and prescribe the best treatment. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

glenda576	Water, water and more water. I used to have terrible sinuses, but now since I have started my water cure no more sneezing, coughing or wheezing. No more phlegm either. I also take 2 tbls. of heinz apple cider vinegar in a glass of water 2-3 x day. Vinegar has 93 vitamins and minerals so it keeps colds and flu away. I have not had one single cold in 3 years since I started my program. I drink 2-3 gallons of water per day, but you would do well with 6 or more glasses a day. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Chet	Take at look at the Natural Cures. You have not mentioned what you are allergic to exactly. An ‘allergy’ can be described as sensitiveness of the body to a substance which does not normally affect other persons. There are innumerable substances in the environment which can cause mild to violent reactions in many people. These reactions range from true allergies due to intolerance of certain foods and substances, to those resulting from pollution. Allergic reactions may occur within a few minutes of the patient coming in contact with the allergen, or they may be delayed for several hours or even several days. Almost any part of the body can be affected by allergies. The portion of the body, which is affected is called a shock organ. Common sites are the nose and eyes, the skin, chest, intestines and ears. Allergic reactions are caused by a wide range of substances and conditions. These include pollen, dust, cosmetics and animal hair; poisonous plants, serums, vaccines and drugs; physical agents such as heat, cold and sunlight; as well as a variety of foods. Among the numerous allergens in the food department, the more common ones are oranges, milk, eggs, wheat, fish, chocolates, Cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes and strawberries. Symptoms: The symptoms of allergy are as varied as the substances causing the reaction. These include recurring headache, migraine, dizziness, irritability, nervousness, depression, neuralgia, sneezing, conjunctivitis, diabetes, eczema, heart-burn, hay fever, indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea, gastric ulcer, asthma, overweight, high blood pressure, chest pain, heart attacks, a stuffy or runny nose, shortness of breath, swelling of the face and eyes, etc. The same food can cause different symptoms in different people. Many allergies are multiple and may be caused by multiple allergens. Causes: Allergy is an indication of lowered resistance and internal disharmony caused by dietetic errors and faulty style of living. It is believed that the major cause of allergy is feeding babies such foods as cereals, meat, corns, whole milk, etc. before they reach the age of 10 to 12 months. These foods cause allergic reactions as babies lack the proper enzymes needed for their digestion before that age. Babies should be breast-fed for at least eight months as this is nature’s way of providing all the required nutrients during this period. Another important cause of allergy is today’s processed foods loaded with numerous chemical additives, many of which cause powerful reactions. An allergic condition can result from diet imbalances. There can be a breakdown in the body’s ability to handle sugar due to excessive intake of refined sugar and consequent blood sugar irregularities, or mineral and vitamin imbalances due to defective dietary patterns. Emotional and psychological stress can also lead to allergies. Allergic symptoms are often nothing more than body’s reaction to stress. A person can through chronic stress, become sensitive to common foods or commonplace substances like petrol fumes. Treatment: There are various ways to tackle many of the allergic disturbances. First, the sources must be identified. This is a difficult but not impossible task. Second, once the sources are discovered, they should be avoided. Third, and most important, general health and resistance should be built up to establish immunity to them. There are two methods to detect disturbing foods. The first method is the trial-and-error elimination diet. This automatically eliminates many hazards and foods. Keep to organic, untreated, unprocessed foods as far as possible and you will eliminate another set of hazards such as pesticides, various sprays and other poisons. After having eliminated as many disturbing factors as possible, a self-search should be carried out to ascertain any suspicious symptoms from foods. It is advisable to try a preliminary diet, excluding suspected foods for two weeks until the cause is detected. Occasionally, by changing the brand or the type, you can find a food substitute that does not upset you. Another way to detect the cause of allergy is by Dr. Coca’s "pulse test." The method is as follows: Check your pulse before a meal. Then limiting that meal to one food only, wit for half an hour after eating and take your pulse again. A slight increase is considered normal, even up to 16 extra beats. If your pulse does not rise above 84, you may be allergy-free. But if your pulse rises beyond that point, and remains high an hour after the meal, you have found your food allergy. The best way, however, to prevent or overcome allergies is to strengthen the overall physical resistance so as not to fall an easy prey to every allergen that comes along. To start with, the patient should fast on fresh fruit juices for four or five days. Repeated short juice fasts are likely to result in better tolerance to previous allergies. After the fruit juice fast, the patient can take a mono diet of vegetables or fruits such as carrots, grapes or apples, for one week. After that one more food is added to the mono diet. A week later the third food is added and so on. After four weeks, the protein foods can be introduced, one at a time. In case an allergic reaction to a newly introduced food is noticed, it should be discontinued and a new food tried. In this way all real allergens can be eventually eliminated from the diet. The body requires a large alkaline reserve for its daily activity. The many emergencies of acid formation through the day from wrong foods, fatigue, mental stress and lack of sleep can be met by the competency of the alkaline reserves. Boosting the normal body reserve of alkalines by liberal use of alkaline- forming foods is essential for those suffering from allergies. The foods which should be excluded from the diet are tea, coffee, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, sugar, sweets and foods containing sugar, refined cereals, meats, fish, chicken, tobacco, milk, cheese, butter, smoked, salted, pickled foods and foods containing any chemical additives, preservatives, and flavouring. These foods cause either toxic accumulations or over-stimulation of adrenal glands or strain on pancreatic enzymes production or disturb the blood sugar balance. For preventive purposes, the entire c Complex vitamins - known as the Bioflavonoids, are recommended. They gradually strengthen cell permeability to help immunise the body from various allergies, especially hay fever. Often the addition B5 , or Pantothenic Acid brings great relief to allergy sufferers. Multiple allergies may result from poor adrenal gland functioning. In such cases liberal amounts of pantothenic acids help cure them, although the recovery will take several weeks. An adequate intake of Vitamin E is also beneficial, as this vitamin possesses effective anti-allergic properties, as some studies have shown. An exciting remedy for allergy has been discovered by an Indian physician, Dr. Hement Pathak. He found that the use of five drops of castor Oil in a little juice or water taken on an empty stomach in the morning is highly beneficial for allergies in the intestinal tract, skin, and nasal passages. Dr. Pathak, who is an expert in Chinese medicine, has reported numerous cases of allergic protection by this method. For allergic conditions in which an element of stress is present, it is essential to employ such methods as relaxation, exercise, meditation and mind control. These methods will reduce or remove stress and thereby contribute towards the treatment of allergies. Yogic asanas like yogamudra ardhmatsyendrasana, sarvangasana, shavasana and anuloma-viloma, and pranayama are also beneficial. Hope this helps, Good Luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
