'allergies are an epidemic at the turn of the millenium. over 60 million americans suffer from allergies - that's 20% of the population!
respiratory allergies include environmental pollutants, like asbestos and smoke fumes, and seasonal conditions, like dust, pollen or spores. this type of allergic reaction often occurs when the body has an excess accumulation of mucous which harbors environmental irritants.
common drugstore medications generally mask symptoms and also have a rebound effect - the more you use them the more you need them. the newest ones are strong medicine .. and have strong side effects like rapid heartbeat, even possible tumors. steroid drugs for hayfever allergies, if taken for long periods, do not cure and often make the situation worse by depressing immune defenses, and impeding allergen elimination.'
