In my case it's simple
resignation. I sneeze, I cough and I get rashes. I'm sick of trying everything on the market for minimal results
and have no intention of getting allergy shots.
I have suffered
from seasonal allergys since I was 7 yrs old.
I have to put up with the constant sneezing, itchy eyes etc. for
most of my life during the so called "allergy season".
This week I went to the Drug store and most of the allergy
medicine were gone so I know I'm not alone.
I'm wondering if anyone has gone through this and if they
were able to over come it?

The consolation is that winter
will soon be here. Once it gets cold most of mine will go away. Three whole months of being able to breath!

you are allergic to?
I know it could be more than one thing and possibly something that is unescapable, but
still - knowing might help avoid some of the exposure.

It hasn't really slowed me down, I
believe that more and more people are being affected so It’s definitely environmental.

Did you see this posted in
Pheromone Discussion? Maybe taking anti histamines has an advantage?
the orgasm is a close physioloical relative
of the sneeze response, both are mediate by the neurotransmitter HISTAMINE..... so if you take anti-histamines you
will inadvertantly undo your orgasm potential...
However, there is a little known amino acid HISTIDINE:
"Less known is the important role, histamines play in sexual functions. By and large it is histamines that
regulate ejaculations and orgasms. Men suffering from premature ejaculations often show increased histamine
activity. They may be helped by an amino acid which counteracts the formation of histamine from histidine, or the
activity of histamine, namely methionine.
Contrarily, men and women having difficulties achieving orgasms may be
helped by histidine supplementation, as this may result in increased histamine levels in the sexual tract, which in
turn may make orgasms and ejaculations easier. Older men who experience a slow down in sexual response may also ask
their doctors about histidine supplementation.
An additional pro-sexual effect of histidine may lay in its
vasodilating effect, thus making blood flow to the sex organs easier."
however, HISTIDINE can increase gastric
secretion so not good with ulcers... and for the technically mined among us...
"The effects of
intracerebro-ventricularly injected histamine and pretreatment with L-histidine. The precursor of histamine, was
studied on the central nervous system of rats. An increase in spontaneous motor activity, reduction of
pentobarbitone sleeping time, reduction in the threshold of chemoshock and electric shock seizures was observed with
histamine and L-histidine. They were also found to inhibit the ingestive behaviour and exert an analgesic effect on
rats. "

TO ALL MAJOR ALERGY
SUFFERERS....
Try localy made natural honey.It ABSOLUTLY MUST be localy made.I have suffered alergies for a long
time and it realy works.Now dont get me wrong.It wont cure your alergies,but it will dramaticly reduce the symptoms
and the duration of them.Something about local honey helps your immune system to react properly to the alergens in
the local air.Getting honey from another state wont do it because the alergens that people usualy suffer from are
different everywhere.
Another issue is indoor air quality.Mold and mildew play a much bigger part in alergies
than alot of people realize.There are some ways you can reduce those sorts of things in your indoor air and some of
them are reasonable effective.Sick building syndrom is a very real problem in many places.Mold and mildew are the
prime culprits.The illnesses that people suffer as a result can cost companies alot of money.so businesses are
spending alot of money to try and fix those issues.
Okay, so this reply is a
little late... But personally I use Quercetin, a plant antioxidant, to help with acute allergies. Not sure I would
want to take it every day for a long time
though.

You can find more on Google (most of the
easy-to-read refs are commercial so I won't post here)
Speaking of honey, I have used a
combo of Manuka honey (from New Zealand, check UMF grade) with cinnamon powder to cure/relieve asthma
successfully. My wife & a few of my friends tried it & it has worked for them also.
Everything begins with an attitude.
Try:
-
Homoeopathic remedies (e.g. in the UK we have 'New Era Tissue Salts' - really homoeopathic tablets),
- Extra Vit
'C' & especially low dose Vit 'A' daily, from either artificial Vit A tablets or Cod Liver Oil capsules.
-
Acupressure points that can be pressed on the palm at the base of the figures, may be tender.
should read as 'fingers'

I used to have *mild* seasonal
alergies, but as long as I take nettle extracts, aboslutely no problemo. Actually, at first I took some sort of
herbal blend which included nettles and a bunch of other stuff. Last year I just grabbed a bottle of stinging
nettles (freeze dried) off the shelf; that worked fine by itself, so I just stuck with that. No sneezing, no
nothin'.

European studies have found
that an herb called butterbur works as well as prescription antihistamines.
I'm planning to try it myself and
see if that's true.
I have had success
in treating this years' hay fever with:
- Milk Thistle tablets (detoxifies the liver which deals with
allergies),
- 'Kali Phos' homoeopathic tablets (strength 6c) - anti allergy,
- Good acupressure point on the 1st
joint of the 1st finger - where it joins the palm. Press with finger nail where it is tender. Stops sneezing.
No
symptoms for me so far unlike previous years.
Something we have here in the
Pacific Northwest in abundance are stinging nettles.I wonder what it would take to render them into some sort of
useful state? I know that the natives used to make tea and soup with them...maybe they were onto something...
