ALLERGIES

Adults and Kids, with Allergies, are growing exponentially, which current white papers and research are pointing to the Standard American Diet (SAD). As the years tic by, more and more of the population are experiencing Allergic responses to all sorts of items. High caliber researchers and Doctor’s are pointing thier collective fingers to Adrenal insufficiency.

“Dr Sheldon Deal, fix adrenals and you’ll get rid of 99% of allergies.”

Adrenal insufficiency is a condition that occurs when your adrenal glands become impaired and therefore don’t produce required levels of several important hormones. In people with adrenal insufficiency, levels of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone are both usually lower.

“Dr. Axe, Adrenal Insufficiency Symptoms”
How do you know if you’re experiencing adrenal insufficiency versus just temporarily feeling more stressed than usual? Some of the common signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency include:

chronic fatigue (lasting more than a couple weeks)
muscle weakness
changes in appetite (especially a loss of appetite)
weight loss
digestive issues (including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
low blood pressure
dizziness or fainting
mood changes, irritability and depression
headaches
cravings for salty foods
low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
trouble sleeping, which leads to always feeling tired
sweating and night-sweating
missed menstrual or irregular periods in women
low libido

I’m arming you with the supplements you need to keep the sniffling, sneezing, and watery eyes at bay. YES, there are alot of them! No two people are the same, ergo, certain ones will work great for some and others not so much.

Most often when seasonal allergies strike, we reach for the over the counter (OTC) anti-histamines, but you can save yourself a trip to the drug store with these natural allergy-busters:

1) QUERCETIN: Known to inhibit mast cells from releasing pro-inflammatory compounds that cause allergy symptoms. Dosage: 500 mg 3 times daily with fatty food. This vitamin is fat soluable and absorbs better when taking it with a little fat. Tough cases may required every two hours of taking quercetin. Adding Bromelain to assist absorption may help.

2) BROMELAIN: A proteolytic enzyme extracted from pineapple, it stops the allergic cascade and reduces swelling and edema of tissue. Dosage: 500 mg 3 times daily.

3) URTICA DIOICA (Stinging Nettle): Randomized, double-blind studies have shown it to be as effective as standard allergy medications. Dosage: 200 mg 3 times daily.

4) NAC (N-acetyl cysteine): In Europe, it’s a prescription medicine, used for reducing congestion and for thinning tenacious mucus. Dosage: 500 mg 3 times daily. (NOTE: A supplement called D-Hist, available via our online dispensary at Fullscript, conveniently combines all four of the previous ingredients, plus vitamin C.)

5) OMEGA-3 FISH OIL: EPA offers anti-inflammatory protection. Dosage: 1,000 mg 3 times daily.

6) VITAMIN C: Nature’s own antihistamine. Dosage: 1000 mg 3-8 times daily, or more depending upon severity.

7) VITAMIN D: Emerging research suggests a protective role of vitamin D against asthma, eczema, and other allergic conditions. During acute phase, minimum of 20,000iu’s a day

8) BUTTERBUR (Petadolex): Also a popular migraine remedy, good research supports its anti-leukotriene effects. European studies have shown it to be as effective as the popular allergy drug Zyrtec. (Take one, three to four times daily as needed for the first three or four weeks, then taper to twice daily for maintenance.) Butterbur is a marsh plant that’s part of the daisy family, found throughout Europe and in regions of Asia and North America. ResearchTrusted Source has shown it might be effective in reducing the intensity and frequency of migraine attacks, but it may also be helpful in treating nasal allergies. Other research Trusted Source suggests that people with allergies saw improvement in their symptoms after taking butterbur supplements. Butterbur can be taken as an oil extract or in pill form.

9) PROBIOTICS: A recent study shows that a probiotic drink (Yakult) containing Lactobacillus casei relieves allergic symptoms. Restoring proper balance of bacteria in the GI tract helps to rein in over-exuberant immune responses.

10) PYCNOGENOL: One of the more well-studied of the natural bioflavonoids, this extract of French maritime pine bark was found to relieve allergic rhinitis symptoms. Dosage: 50-100 mg twice daily.

11) MSM (methylsulfonylmethane): May block allergic reactions at the tissue level. Dosage: 1 gram 3 times daily.

12) ADRENAL SUPPORT: Since the adrenals mediate the body’s resistance to allergic challenge, supporting cortisol production with licorice, pantothenic acid, adrenal cortical extract, ashwagandha and other adaptogens can relieve symptoms. Popular adrenal support supplements like Adren-All by Ortho Molecular contain various proportions of these and other ingredients.

13) TRANSFER FACTOR: Allergies exemplify imbalanced immune responses; Transfer Factor from colostrum restores normal TH1/TH2 ratios which enables the body to better distinguish between “friend” and “foe.” Dosage: 250-500 mg twice daily.

14) SULFORAPHANE: This potent derivative of broccoli or broccoli sprouts has been shown to counteract allergies worsened by air pollution.

15) APIGENIN: Found in parsley, celery, and certain spices, apigenin triggers the switching of the immune response to allergens toward a T-helper type 1 (Th1) profile.

16) LUTEOLIN: A strong histamine blocker, luteolin is found in the perilla plant. It may also have neuro-protective effects, which I discussed in a podcast with Dr. Theoharis Theoharides.

17) XLEAR: Bacteria and fungi that colonize the nasal passage and hide in biofilms are recognized as foreign invaders; their presence triggers chronic hyper-activation of the cells lining the respiratory tract. Xylitol in Xlear nasal spray inhibits microbes and dissolves biofilms, resulting in clearance of mucus.

18) SIMILISAN eye drops: A gentle homeopathic formula for itchy red eyes.

19) Curcumin and Turmeric stabilizing properties of H1 and H2 and helps block histamine receptors, which might help folks with alergies as well.

20) Fulvic acid for conditions such as allergies. Fulvic acid is a group of chemicals that forms when plants and animals break down. It’s found in humus (organic matter) of soil, peat, streams, and lakes. Fulvic acid might block reactions in the body that cause allergy symptoms.

21) Vitamin C in large doses is an excellent antihistamine and antitoxin. There is abundant medical evidence to support this, and much value will be found in the hundreds of controlled studies cited in The Healing Factor, by Irwin Stone; How To Live Longer and Feel Better, by Dr. Linus Pauling, and the many papers of Frederick R. Klenner, M.D. summarized in Clinical Uses of Vitamin C, edited by Lendon Smith, M.D. See Ref below. You may perhaps remember Dr. Smith as the (Children’s Doctor on the TODAY show).

22) Reishi mushroom: Reishi mushroom plays a role in balancing hormones, stabilizing blood sugar levels, fighting allergies and asthma, and promoting heart and liver health.

23) Pycnogenol: One of the more well-studied of the natural bioflavonoids, this extract of French maritime pine bark was found to relieve allergic rhinitis symptoms. (Take two capsules, one to three times daily.)

24) MSM (methylsulfonylmethane): May block allergic reactions at the tissue level. (Take one capsule, three times daily.)

25) The co-factors vitamin B6, vitamin C, and copper are essential for the production and proper functioning of DAO

26) The treatment of symptoms from high histamine levels depends on the cause. Histamine intolerance may require a histamine-free diet, supported by antihistamines or the supplementation of DAO in the diet. Most antihistamines do not influence DAO activity, so if a deficiency in DAO activity is the problem, then typical over-the-counter antihistamine allergy medications are probably not sufficient for that person.

27) Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3-PUFAs) are essential nutrients for human health and body homeostasis. Growing evidence strongly suggests that dietary ω3-PUFAs, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), have diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-oxidant activities, and may play pivotal roles in inflammatory diseases, allergic diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and other chronic diseases

28) Dr Berg suggests, Stinging nettle root is indigenous to North America, Europe, and Africa, and it has been used as a go-to herbal remedy for thousands of years. Specifically, it’s used as an anti-inflammatory, and many believe that it can help with everything from joint pain to prostate problems. As an antihistamine and allergy support supplement, it may reduce general allergy and hay fever symptoms.

29) Dr. Berg also suggests, Betaine hydrochloride is a dietary supplement that has often been used as a supplemental form of hydrochloric acid. Now, I know what you may be thinking: acid? But I don’t want too much acid – it can give me heartburn or ulcers. But that’s not how it works. We need a healthy level of acid and a balanced, slightly alkaline pH – between 7.35 and 7.45 – to properly digest food and to maintain homeostasis. And when this doesn’t happen, or when the body is in an overly alkaline state, we’re going to develop more allergy symptoms. This happens more often than we would expect (remember, the optimum pH window is very small, and it’s easy to go too far in either direction). Betaine hydrochloride can help prevent this from happening and acidify the body. This can reduce allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, fatigue, and tiredness. It may also help activate the immune system so it can work a lot faster.
You can easily get betaine hydrochloride in a pill form, and it is safe to take on an empty stomach.

30) Dr Berg suggests, Spanish Black Radish. You sometimes find radishes in your salad, and you may even be tempted to leave them on your plate when you do. But did you know that taking a bite may help with your allergy relief? Radishes have often been used to help with a variety of ailments and symptoms, including:
Stomach and intestinal disorders
Loss of appetite
Pain and swelling
Inflammation or excessive mucus of the respiratory tract
Bronchitis
Fever
Cough and cold
They help, some think, by stimulating digestive juices and bile flow while also fighting bacteria and other harmful pathogens. So how can they provide allergy support? Well, this natural antihistamine can be really good for clearing mucus in the nasal passages. This even applies to deep mucus that might be impacting your sinuses with more severe allergy symptoms.
Incorporating Spanish black radish into your day-to-day regimen is easy: you can either consume them directly in your salad or juice them (if you can handle some spice)!

31) A neti pot: Many people dealing with nasal congestion don’t want to use nasal sprays or other prescription solutions. If you fall into this camp, we recommend a neti pot. It’s not expensive and it can provide quick, lasting homeopathic sinus relief.

32) Essential oils :
Many essential oils may help you relieve your seasonal allergy symptoms:
Frankincense and lavender may quell inflammation
Peppermint and eucalyptus can ease respiratory symptoms
Lemon oil was shown, in one study, to treat seasonal allergic rhinitis
Tea tree oil is known to have strong antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Applied topically, it could reduce histamine-induced swelling.

If possible, get a jump on allergies by starting supplementation early, before symptoms begin. With the right intervention, you can stop the allergic cascade before it gets out of control.

1) Avoid artificial colors, flavors and preservatives in your food. Paint, industrial chemicals, and microbe-killers may get a very natural reaction from a healthy body, let alone a weakened one. May I suggest you take a look at Why Your Child is Hyperactive, by Benjamin F. Feingold, M.D., if you’d like a second medical opinion. Although the Feingold Diet focuses on improving ADHD behavior, I am convinced that food paints can trigger allergies in children.

2) Stop eating “deli meats”, especially cold cuts, hot dogs, and other preserved meats. I know a fellow that had chronic skin rashes. They went away in days when he simply stopped eating the above. Was it the nitrites? Might be, but who cares! The rashes vanished when the hot dogs did. “What kind of kid eats hot dogs?” Kids with allergies, that’s who. “Even kids with chicken pox.” It figures.

3) Eat a lot more greens, especially fresh and raw greens. OK, this is the one that everyvbody has heard and nobody actually does. If you’ll do it, you’ll get much more fiber. Plant-based eaters average 50 grams daily versus only 10 to 15 grams in the Standard American Diet (yes, what a lot of folks eat is pretty SAD). Eat more legumes (peas, beans and lentils), and more vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables in general. Eat more high-quality protein foods such as yogurt, hard aged cheeses, sprouts, fish, seeds and nuts. Yes, if you are allergic to peanuts, avoid peanuts. But when I was a boy none of the kids I ever met, and I mean none, had a peanut allergy. Once again, yes, if you are clearly and dramatically allergic to a particular food, don’t eat it! Overall, a plant-based diet is going to do a lot more good than just help obliterate allergies.

To illustrate, consider the potentially deadly allergy to bee stings. That must be the ultimate in histamine reactions, where the breathing passages close up to the point of suffocation. I do not recommend this, but I do know a person who had such an allergy and immediately after being stung took 25,000 mg of vitamin C. By the end of the day he’d taken about 100,000 mg. He did not take his medicine or use his inhaler. He had no symptoms at all. To me, this is a genuinely amazing episode, one which I would not suggest repeating. So why mention it at all? Because compared to this, what’s a stuffy nose?

In an interview, Dr. Bookman said, “Unquestionably, the single most important element in the treatment of asthma and other bronchial allergy symptoms is hydration. Unless adequate fluids are available to the mucus glands in the bronchial tree, their secretions will be tenaciously hard to raise. In asthma, liquids are medications. . . Liquids make mucus liquid. They change it from a troublesome solid that makes breathing difficult to an easy to cough up liquid. I demand that my patients drink 10 full glasses of liquid every day, and I question them constantly to make sure they understand how important it is. . . Water is best, of course, but I tell them to drink what they like. . . Any fluids will work but you must make a fetish of it.” (Bookman R. 101 hints, tips and bits of wisdom from the president’s allergist. See also: Bookman R. The dimensions of clinical allergy. Springfield, IL: Charles C. Thomas, 1985.)

Are there pressure points for allergies? Sure. In The Natural Healer’s Acupressure Manual, author Michael Blate describes several that are worth a try.

6) Is lactose intolerance really a milk allergy? Maybe not. For many, a simple solution is to eat yogurt, kefir, aged cheeses, or other cultured milk products. These dairy products contain friendly bacteria that do a lot of our digesting for us. Pasteurized milk does not have these helpful microorganisms. I therefore think fluid milk is the least desirable dairy product of all. My children’s mother works for a large dairy corporation, so I hope she’s reading something else right now. The majority of supposedly lactose intolerant people actually aren’t, and can eat ice cream or even moderate amounts of milk with meals. In fact about two-thirds of supposedly lactose intolerant persons do not prove to be so when they have a breath-hydrogen assay. (Williams, Nutrition and Diet Therapy, 7th edition, page 41). Lactase production in humans decreases after age 5, and in other mammals it disappears not long after birth. Is this perhaps simply biochemical weaning? It does lend some credibility to a vegan (dairy-free) diet for older children and adults. Lactose intolerance may be mostly due to a poor colon bacteria environment which makes it tough to properly digest many foods. More fiber and less meat in your diet lessens constipation and will enhance your intestinal population of helpful bacteria. Did you know that about ONE HALF of a human bowel movement is composed of bacteria? That’s a lot of critters that are so small that you need a 1200 power microscope to see even one.

If you try all these alternatives and still have symptoms, even I would concede that you might well have a real allergy. But most people don’t.

Most allergies usually disappear while you wait if you use the safest, most powerful, cheapest and most effective antihistamine-antitoxin in existence: vitamin C. As Jacob Marley’s ghost said to Ebeneezer Scrooge, “You don’t believe in me.” Well, you don’t, do you? How can a simple vitamin replace a medical specialty, and I’m telling you, it very nearly could. You could start a drive-in allergy clinic, with only one prescription.

Wisdom is inherent in simplicity and safety. Hippocrates, the father of medicine so-called, said: “Of several remedies, the physician should choose the least sensational.” That is genius, and it is practical, reproducible advice good for modern man. Vitamin C therapy is safe, simple and effective.

So you question this naive approach? Naturally, since we’ve all been taught that anything safe and simple cannot possibly be medically effective. So I give you the case of my friend Tim.

Tim brought in his wife and family to talk about scarlet fever. They’d had a touch of it in their family, and a touch is enough of that. We discussed vitamin C’s role as an antipyretic (fever-lowerer) and value as an antibiotic. They were keen to focus on this. Just in passing, Tim also mentioned some unspecified allergy problems. I briefly mentioned that vitamin C had great usefulness there as well.

Tim called me a few weeks later.

“Good resolution with the fever,” he said. “We gave all the kids grams of vitamin C and only one of them had scarlet fever symptoms. That was Jeffrey, and he got over it much faster than the doctor expected him to.”

“That’s really good, Tim,” I said. “There’s more to tell,” he responded. “I was stung by a bee last week.” “And?” “And I’m allergic to bee stings.” Gulp. He hadn’t previously told me that.

“I have medicine and an inhaler,” Tim continued. “The whole kit and kaboodle. When I was stung, I took 25,000 milligrams of vitamin C in the first hour. By the end of the day, I’d taken 100,000 milligrams. No symptoms at all. Not even any swelling. You had to look hard to find where the sting was, even.”

“But you used your medicine, right?”

“No!” Tim said. “That’s the amazing thing. Normally I would have had to, or I would probably die. But this time, all I did was the C. Talk about an antitoxin-antihistamine! That vitamin C really works.”

Allergy, like most disease names, tells you little about cause and nothing about cure. Robert F. Cathcart, MD, looks at allergy (and many other conditions as well) simply in terms of how much vitamin C it takes to cure it. He has much experience as a clinician and has published numerous papers on the topic. And he is correct.

One persons experience:
“Whenever I was taking 20,000 milligrams of vitamin C a day, I had no allergies at all. The only time I got them back was when I drank beer. So I either avoided beer, or if I drank, I took an extra 10,000 mg of C. I never had problems with horses or hay again.”

One lady said that she’d tested out positive as allergic to 72 different substances. I’d never heard of that severe a condition before, and apparently, neither had her allergist. He said that she could take a “megadose” of perhaps 1,000 milligrams a day. It was not doing anything. I suggested she take vitamin C to bowel tolerance, and hold the C level just below the amount that caused loose stools. This turned out to be nearly 40,000 milligrams a day. She took all the C she could hold. That was the end of her 72 allergies.

Notable saying: “Take enough C to be symptom free, whatever the amount might be… but stay a few thousand milligrams under the amount that would cause loose bowels.”

Think about this: what would actually happen if everyone were actually healthy? If each person took vitamins? If doctors and hospitals and pharmaceuticals, all of which prosper from sickness, were not needed? In America, there is a vested interest in disease. There is no profit in prevention.

Let’s temporarily assume that orthodox dietitians are correct when they tell us that vitamin supplements can only cure vitamin deficiency diseases, and nothing else. If this is true, when any disease is cured by supplements, it indicates deficiency. If zinc speeds recovery from the common cold (and many studies do confirm this), then people with colds are zinc deficient. If lots of vitamin C shortens the intensity and duration of the common cold (and there are dozens of scientific studies that prove this), then people with colds are vitamin C deficient as well. The RDA’s and pitiful American intakes are therefore below the deficiency levels.

LAW: The quantity of a nutritional supplement that cures an illness indicates the patient’s degree of deficiency. It is therefore not a megadose of the vitamin, but rather a megadeficiency of the nutrient that we are dealing with. Allergies evidently constitute one such megadeficiency.

You must use vitamins correctly to get the job done. Large amounts work; small amounts don’t. The dose depends on the patient. Think big: you have to use as much as it takes to get results. Dr. Frederick Robert Klenner said, “If you want results, use adequate ascorbic acid. Don’t send a boy to do a man’s job.” If I were to die tomorrow, I’d want you to remember that I told you this today: “Take enough C to be symptom free, whatever that amount might be.”

The safety of vitamin C therapy is unassailable. Dr. Klenner writes, “Vitamin C is the safest substance available to the physician.”

Vitamin C is but one of many vitamins, vitamins are but one part of nutrition, and nutrition is but one aspect of health. And even then, look what just the one vitamin can do.

Vitamin C replaces antibiotics, antihistamines, antipyrretics, antitoxics, and antiviral drugs at saturation (bowel tolerance) levels. This is the single most inflammatory statement in medicine.

First of all, what we now label “allergies” could just as easily be called “undernutrition” and I think should be. The majority of Americans are demonstrably scorbutic, or on the very verge of scurvy (McCormick, 1962). Insufficient vitamin C results in exaggerated sensitivity to even average levels of irritants, toxins, chemicals, pollution and microorganisms. Deficiencies of vitamins A, B-complex and E frequently manifest as skin problems or hypersensitivity to foods, stress, germs or shock. Millions of vitamin deficient but overstuffed persons are literally waiting to be allergic to something. Food that fills and fattens but doesn’t fortify the body is like trying to build a wall with bricks and no mortar: it will hold up only until you lean upon it.

What’s more, “allergy” tells you nothing. In Botany class, I once learned that plants turn towards the light because of phototropism. Phototropism means “moves towards light”. The name tells you nothing that you couldn’t have observed yourself. Same with allergies. Rashes, hives, troubled breathing and such when gathered together in one body are collectively called “allergy”. When some people get near such and such, they have an “allergic reaction”. What do you do, then? Just keep them away from what triggers the reaction. No milk, no dust, no cats, no feathers, etc. Nothing concrete is accomplished. How can avoidance be cure? If your son got sweaty palms, hives or “butterflies” every time he telephoned a girl to ask her for a date, would you conclude that he’s allergic to women and send him to a monastery? Of course not. You’d find out why he got so nervous and strengthen him, encourage him and most of all allow him to get over it. So why not do the same for your body?

“Allergic” tells you nothing more than any other symptom. Symptoms tell us that our body is not quite right. Naturopaths tell us that if our body is not quite right, we should take a good look at the way we take care of it. Check your diet first, not merely for the presence of “allergens” but rather for an absence of nutrients. You can start with a saturation test with vitamin C, as mentioned above.

Other questions to ask yourself: Are you avoiding chemical preservatives, artificial food colorings, and other unnecessary food additives? Avoiding drugs, non-prescription and otherwise? Are you getting enough rest? Do you need a cleansing fast? These questions should replace battery after battery of allergy tests.

“Modern civilized diet, after much processing, modification, staleness, and complete cooking, produces children with rampant dental caries, skeletal defects, allergies and fatigue, along with the emotional and nervous changes seen in the experimental animals.”

Rather, the way to be healthy is almost annoyingly simple:

1.) Stop eating processed meats, sugar, and junk food. . . or reduce as much as possible.

2.) Instead, eat whole foods including the seeds, nuts, and grains that do not cause you trouble. Also go in big for fruits, beans, sprouts, lots of greens and lightly cooked or raw vegetables. And, take vitamin food supplements, especially vitamin C!

3.) Clean out body wastes by occasional juice fasts and an everyday natural diet which is high in fiber and free of artificially colored or preserved foods..

This is more than “folk” medicine. This is a real remedy for all folks.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS): MCAS is a diagnosis that offers a new way of understanding patients with a wide array of elusive symptoms resistant to conventional therapy, beyond mere classical allergies like hives, nasal congestion and wheezing. They may include headaches, psychiatric symptoms, gastrointestinal problems, and even gynecological and urological complaints. Certain medications can help treat it, along with diet and natural supplements like quercetin, DAO, and luteolin.

A stressor such as an allergen, will trigger neuroendocrine-immune (NEI) regulatory factors, signalling molecules to defend against and then recover from the exposure. However, if the stressor/allergen is a commensal microbe, there are new implications.

“Intestinal dysbiosis, in the form of unbalanced bacterial composition or aberrant immune reactions to commensal flora, has been linked to metabolic, neurodegenerative, and neoplastic diseases.”

If eczema may be viewed as a failed adaptation to stress/stressors, could this failure as a chronic condition be linked to secondary reactivity to intestinal bacteria or other factors central to the allostatic process? “Allostatic load is the long-term result of failed adaptation or allostasis, resulting in pathology and chronic illness.”

There are also a number of foods that trigger histamine release in the body, such as:
alcohol
bananas
tomatoes
wheat germ
beans
papaya
chocolate
citrus fruits
nuts, specifically walnuts, cashews and peanuts
food dyes and other additives

Foods that have been reported to have higher levels of histamine:
Alcohol
Eggplant
Pickled or canned foods – sauerkrauts
Matured cheeses
Smoked meat products – salami, ham, sausages….
Shellfish
Beans and pulses – chickpeas, soy flour
Long-stored nuts – e.g peanuts, cashew nuts, almonds, pistachio
Chocolates and other cocoa based products
Seitan
Rice vinegar
Ready meals
Salty snacks, sweets with preservatives and artificial colourings

Foods that have been reported to have released histamine (histamine releasers):
Most citrus fruits – lemon, lime, oranges…
Cocoa and chocolate
Walnuts, peanuts
Papaya, pineapples, plums, kiwi and bananas
Legumes
Tomatoes
Wheat germ
Most vinegars
Additives – benzoate, sulphites, nitrites, glutamate, food dyes
