Some experts believe that allergies are genetic, if Dad had them, so will you. Others, like Paavo Airola, Ph.D. believe that allergies are the result of feeding infants cereals, meat, or cow’s milk before 10-12 months old. Since babies do not have the enzymes to digest these foods, the immune system is highly stressed and can result in super- sensitive reactions to harmless things like pollen, dust or mold. Research backs this idea up by stating bottle fed babies are 20 times more susceptible to allergies than breastfed babies. Traditional treatment of allergies include; allergy shots and a constant round of decongestants or antihistamines.

Treatment can go even further with adrenal corticosteroid hormones, yet all of these choices carry negative side effects, even real dangers. In Dr.Robert Mendelsohn’s book, HOW TO RAISE A HEALTHY CHILD.. . IN SPITE OF YOUR DOCTOR, he writes that decongestants only bring temporary relief, causing a later rebound effect which makes the congestion worse. As for antihistamines, they stop the natural release of histamine and dry out the sinus passages when more hydration is what the body needs.

As for corticosteroid hormones, the side affects known for these so far are retarded lung maturation and physical growth and increased chance of cataracts.

Allergy sufferers might want to check into the use of herbs and vitamins for their ailments. Vitamin C, for instance, acts as a natural antihistamin as does vitamin B-5. Many allergy sufferers also are low in manganese and should try boosting their intake of nuts, beans, peas, or blueberries.
Other ideas to try include: blessed thistle (for the respiatory system) valerian (for mucous blockage), or licorice (helps build the adrenal system)
