Allergies Be Gone!

Stacey suffers from chronic allergies. Over the years, she had tried nearly every over-the-counter therapy available, with dismal results. Antihistamines made her drowsy during the day, but woke her up at night. The decongestant Sudafed left her feeling jittery and sometimes caused disturbing palpitations. When she came to see me, she had resigned herself to taking the prescription drug Allegra every day, as it was the only thing she had found to manage her chronic symptoms without completely incapacitating her with side effects.

Although Stacey was skeptical, I convinced her to try a preparation of quercetin, stinging nettle, and bromelain. Stacey waited until she was already congested and itchy before she took her first capsule. Within 45 minutes, her nose was clear, and she felt so good that she forgot about her allergies for the rest of the day. When her symptoms returned in the evening, she took one more capsule, and that took care of her symptoms untill the next morning. One week later, Stacey's allergies were well under control. She was thrilled to no longer have to fill her Allegra prescription and relieved to be taking something natural.
