Most people who suffer from "allergies" appear to have all the same issues. They stay indoors, take tons of meds, and blame most things on being "allergic" to something or another. Allergies are an autoimmune type of illness aren't they. I may have the wrong work but what I mean is that our bodies are overreacting to something which shouldn't hurt us......is this correct. I think I have an answer to most of the allergies out there. Tell the body to stop acting like a flakey nurse; quit "enabling" your body to do these things with medications, dare the body with being around those those called allergens, stay outdoors as much as possible.
"Sick" indoor environments without outside air flowing in cause more problems that all the pollen in the world. All of these non-opening window buildings, supposedly able to keep out all allergens and cold/heat, plus the homes which are sealed up year round, or even just in the winter, are the real culprits. Ever wonder why most "cold" occur in the winter. (Nosebleeds, stuffy noses, dripping noses, etc.....) The reason is the dry dusty''unreal' atmosphere of our homes and work places. In the early spring and even late spring we think all the pollen causes "hay fever". No!!!! It is our inability to adjust to normal conditions outdoors after being stuck in sealed homes and businesses all winter.
The 2nd worst culprit seems to be how we can't put up with a scratchy nose or eyes or a dripping nose for a couple days. We take all of these meds and showing the body that it is ok to go overboard and sure enough, the body over-reacts just like we did.
I would like to present this discussion. Try this approach: (I know the makers of all these drugs like Parano, Blah Blah, Youshould, and Docsrep would like you to take these meds but), stop the meds first, and I mean all meds including "excedrine pm or anything with benedryl or its generic diphen products. Do not take anything unless it is aspirin, tylenol, or ibuprophen for things like headaches. Keep a positive attitude. Talk to yourself. Be your own cheer leader. Tell your body what "you" want and what is going to happen with you being the boss.
