It’s springtime and you want to get outside to enjoy
the warmer weather. One problem – the things which
make it spring, the warm weather, the blooming trees
and flowers and grasses, mean seasonal allergies for you.

After reading this article You’ll be armed with information
so You can decide what’s best for solving Your allergy
problems.

Beyond the obvious of minimizing dust and other allergens in
Your house, You can use a process of elimination to determine
if some foods may be causing allergic reactions. Common
foods to steer clear of are homogenized, pasteurized dairy,
Shellfish, highly processed white flour and wheat
products.

Washing fruits and vegetables with a cleansing solution to
remove pesticides and chemicals can be found at a health food
store.

You may even need to visit an allergist who can do
Allergy testing for You if You’re having trouble identifying
the source of Your specific allergies.

Here are specific supplements which are proven to help
Your body fight allergies.

Schizandra – 90 mg 3-4 times a day

Omega-3 Fatty acid fish oil gel caps – 500 mg 3-4 times a day

Vitamins A – at least 5,000 IU a day which is 100% of the
daily vitamin A Your body needs. (For some reason vitamin
A is always given in IU which is International Units. There
is no good conversion to milligrams because IU’s are
dependant on the potency of the substance).

Vitamin C – 500 mg 3-4 times a day.
Vitamins A and C are powerful antioxidants which
can help Your itchy watery eyes.

(These are what I take, You’ll have to gauge what’s
best for Your body). And -
Quercetin (inhibits histamine) 1 gram twice a day

These always work best in combination.

Here is a specific combination which research has found
very effective in helping Your body fight allergies.

This research is based on a study from 1952 that proved the
effectiveness of a specific supplement combination: the amino
acid L-tyrosine and two of the B-vitamins, niacinamide (B3)
and pyridoxine (B6). The three work on allergy symptoms
only when taken in combination.

The recommended daily dose is as follows:

800-2,400 milligrams of L-tyrosine.

10-30 milligrams of Vitamin B6

40-120 milligrams of Vitamin B3
Vitamins B6 and B3 are usually found together in a
good natural multi-vitamin, so they are pretty easy and
convenient to take.

You will need to split this up evenly into 3-4 doses throughout
the day. All 3 of these can easily be found at health food
stores who more than likely will have someone who is
knowledgeable on supplements and nutrition. You can also
work with a Doctor or other specialist who knows
supplements and nutrition as well.

Help for sniffling and sneezing:

Also available at health food stores are nasal sprays which
contain a simple sugar called xylitol. Xylitol helps by prevent-
ing pollen and other allergens from sticking to nasal membranes
and causing allergic reactions.

These nasal sprays also help the nasal passages to naturally
drain and clear themselves so You can breath more easily.

And finally …

If you’re not that excited about individual supplements
And how much to take, there are ready made natural
Formulations that combine the best supplements to solve
The root causes of Your allergies.

Prescriptions and over the counter drugs simply
suppress histamine and don’t help Your body to solve the
root causes of allergies.

Each of the following fills a specific niche in the fight
against allergies and You will need to research which
is best for Your specific type of allergy.

In general all of these will help Your body to naturally
reduce histamine production, reduce swelling and
improve respiratory and immune system functions.
So this way Your body can fight allergic reactions more
effectively.

Aller-DMG™
Aller-7®
Allerpro™
Aller-7 RX-Respiration™
AllerPhase™ - and their website has some great information
on how the body reacts to allergens and how to reduce
these reactions.

All of the above contain a combination of supplements to
combat allergies. And because they come highly recom-
mended by Expert Doctors, prestigious health magazines and
respected articles I have read.

Take the first step and find out what’s causing Your
allergies. If You already know, You’re well on Your
way to solving the root causes of the problem.

Then follow the experts proven strategies above to help
get Your allergies under control. Just think about all the
positive benefits You’ll get when You’re able go through
allergy season without suffering the sniffling, sneezing, itchy
and watery eyes.

What one thing will You do today to move You toward
an allergy free life?
Because once You know what works for You, You’ll be
armed and ready with the solutions for the allergy seasons.
