Stop Allergies The Easy Way

Allergies can be anywhere from annoying to life threatening and include reactions to medications, food, substances in the air, and to things that contact our skin. The Allergy Easy Program offered at Tahoe Natural Medical Center is for allergic reactions from substances in the air like dust, molds, dander, and pollens also known as environmental allergies.

Typically the best treatment for most allergies is avoidance but with stuff in the air it is next to impossible to avoid; you can run but you can’t hide. That is why most treatment options target controlling symptoms with anti-histamines, steroids, and decongestants, among others but they can have troubling side-effects and they are not curative.

Now there is a no-shot, no-testing, simple and easy solution to treat environmental allergies with just a few drops under the tongue. Lets stop running! Before explaining this easy solution let me explain the process of an allergy reaction to better explain how the allergy program works.

The substances that cause allergic reactions are called allergens. When your body encounters an allergen, your immune system produces IgE antibodies, which acts on mast cells that release histamine. Histamine is the substance that causes a lot of the symptoms associate with allergies like burning and itchy eyes, running nose, sinus congestion, wheezing, hives, among others. Unfortunately in a person with environmental allergies, the immune system is overreacting to benign substances in the environment like pollen. This constant activation of the immune system can drain you of energy.

The goal of allergy treatments that offer a more permanent solution is to desensitize the immune system so it will stop overreacting to these benign substances in the environment and refrain from releasing annoying chemicals like histamine into the body. Desensitization is accomplished by exposing the body to gradually increasing amounts of those things to which it is allergic.

The nice thing about the allergy program offered is that a universal serum is used that makes skin testing unnecessary. It does not matter what you are allergic too, your covered with the universal serum. It has 70 of the most common antigens that are found in North America. So if you move or travel, you will be covered. You are given a very small amount of the serum at first; gradually increasing the dose over time until the body finally becomes accustomed to the allergens. Then, the body will not overreact, and the allergic reaction just fades away, taking with it the allergy misery. Now your immune system can focus on more real threats to the body like bacteria, cancer and viruses; while not draining you of energy.

Allergy shots are an attempt to treat the immune system in this fashion but allergists report that 50% of their patients drop out due to the inconvenience of having to go to the doctor’s office for weekly allergy shots for up to 2 years. It is estimated that it takes any where from 6 months to a year to see improvements in symptoms with allergy shots. In contrast, the Allergy Easy Program uses sublingual immunotherapy or under the tongue drops which are more user friendly, only 2 minutes per day at home to administer the drops. The program is also more effective at controlling symptoms within 3 months typically by the end of the starter kit. A maintenance program is followed for up to a year after the starter kit to complete the program.

Find fast, lasting relief from your allergy symptoms with The Allergy Easy Program. End years of suffering the easy way with these allergy drops.
