It Happens Every Summer
You are only a few days away from the
first
sneeze of summer, 2012. Although ragweed is
considered to be an
autumn allergy, the first
pollens fill the air in mid-August.
Unless you live inside of an air-filtered
environmentally-friendly
sterile plastic bubble,
you'll soon be breathing air filled with
ragweed pollens.
For me, the simple sound of a lawn mower
breaking
the silence of Sunday morning
spring days once set me to sneezing.
Like swallows returning to Capistrano, my
annual 6 week season of
sneezing, wheezing, and
sniffles would begin on the ides of April and
last until June 1st.
The Cure
After discontinuing all milk
and dairy products,
the allergies were gone. There would be an occasional
tickle in the nose, and when pollen counts are high
there is an
occasional sneeze, but wonder of wonders,
I now sleep through the night
without medication.
No longer do I need Actifed-C with codeine.
No
more antihistamines. No more nose spray.
No more expensive visits to
allergists.
Milk and cheese. They made the difference.
Dairy
consumption is what puts allergies over
the line.
If only my
allergist had told me about this
publication when I was in my thirties in
1983:
"Dairy products may play a major role in
the development of
allergies, asthma, sleep
difficulties, and migraine headaches."

19(9):806-809
In 1995, I
read a revealing article in the
Townsend Medical Letter. I remember the
moment
well. That was the last time I ate ice cream:
"In reality,
cow's milk, especially processed
cow's milk, has been linked to a variety
of
health problems, including: mucous production
...and allergies."
- Townsend Medical Letter, 05/95, J. Klotter, MD
I paid thousands of
dollars to various allergists,
receiving treatment that did not work. Why
did not
any of them tell me the following:
"At least 50% of all
children in the United
States are allergic to cow's milk, many
undiagnosed. Dairy products are the leading
cause of food allergy...Many
cases of asthma
and sinus infections are reported to be
relieved and
even eliminated by cutting out dairy."
- Natural Health, July, 1994,
Nathaniel Mead, MD
There is a simple cure.
Enjoy
dairy-free/congestion-free allergy seasons!
