Allergies. Bah!

    My allergies are f^$#!ng killing me. I swear, it's like I pissed off the pollen god by steeling honey from bees or something. It never fails, for 6 weeks of spring I can't keep my eyes from welling up and my nose from running.

    And I'm not your average computer geek with horrible health either (no offense). I'm strong, healthy, I have a great immune system. But a little bit of pollen and I go down like (insert tasteless joke here).


    Allergies got you down? Vent.


    P.S. Yes I know I spelled alergies wrong in the title. I blame it on my allergies.

    I have air cleaners in my house. I shut myself in with these running and I'm fine.

    A wife who loves the outside and two kids who want to run in and out swimming all day is a pretty quick way to make sure the doors and windows never stay shut. I'm just a glutton for punishment.

    The commercial makes it look so easy though. just put the round smooth balls in my nose the spiky ones don't fit....

    If you are under 30 or so, a benzoquinone injection would probably cure your allergy for the rest of your life

    No side effects known, at least that's what the doctor said. My wife's and 2 daughters' experience confirms it. You would likely have a strong reaction right after the shot and another one in 2 or 3 weeks, after that it's gone forever

    I have a sinus trouble. My sneezing and running nose never stopped. It was like 2 days a week sometimes even extends for a full week (24x7 for 6 years). I got it punctured/surgery as well, but that wasn't a permanent solution.

    I recently visited a doctor, he put me on 3 months medication and i am much better now. He told me to do this course of medication for a month every year and i would be fine. There isn't any permanent solution for this. :(

    During allergy season, I suck down 4 or 5 claritin 24's each day. 2 at a time makes em actually work.

    I'm allergic to everything - grass, oaks, dust, flowers, cats, dogs, roaches, fleas, dander, etc etc etc. ITs a nightmare. When I was a kid, I wasn't allergic to anything. I'm a mess in fall and spring. Last year, allergies got soo bad, my jaw locked up on me one day. I couldn't open my mouth cuz sinuses were so packed up.

    I've thought about doing the allergy shots, but that is 2-3 years of torture. Since they say your body changes every 7 years and allergies can go away I haven't seen the benefit.

    As a kid I was subjected to allergy test and shots regularly. I saw no benefit, just plain torture. I would really find it hard to make a kid go through that.

    I have a few articles on my site about allergies, which you may find interesting. You can find them them here:

    http://www.newbeingnutrition.com/allergies.htm

    http://www.newbeingnutrition.com/sensitivities.htm

    and one about hay fever here:

    http://www.newbeingnutrition.com/sup_hay_fever.htm

    I also have a couple of products which are selling well at the moment on my store which might help you. They are AllergiClear and SOS HistaDrops.

    I personally do not have an allergy or hay fever so I have never used the products so I can not tell you whether they are good or not, but they are selling really well at the moment so that either says to me that they are a good product or they are a good price, or even both.

    I hope this has been of help.

    I had allergies from time to time. There is two cures. Completely natural.

    First is water. Drink 2l every day. Water is, as everyone know, main substance in body and best detox.

    Second is Bicom. BICOM Resonance Therapy (BRT). I think that machine is banned in US. I went fiew times on that. Cure every allergy in a minutes.
