Lightbulb Dr Weil: 5 ways to minimize allergies

Quote:
Five Ways to Minimize Allergies
If sneezing and itchy eyes are part of your day-to-day life, you may have seasonal allergies. Try the following and see if any have beneficial effects on your allergy symptoms:

Try freeze-dried stinging nettles and butterbur. Both herbs perform as well as antihistamines, without the drowsiness.
Eliminate dairy (to avoid immune-system irritation).
Increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids (try wild Alaskan salmon, freshly ground flaxseeds, or fish oil supplements).
Eat plenty of antioxidant-rich fruits such as berries and cherries to help modify the body's inflammatory response.
You may also want to try nasal douching with a warm saline solution, and drink plenty of water to keep nasal passages hydrated and to flush out your system.
from Dr Weil's Tip of the Day

I love your inspired mood.

I'm hoping to not be tired one day soon.

I want to add that when I wrongly thought I could raise my B12 level by taking MegaB tablets, I was having about 4 or 5 of them an hour with a huge amount of liquid.

It made no difference to my B12 level,

but my allergies went away. Completely.

Before I had them so badly my face would swell and I'd look a lot like a pancake. Plus all the itching and sneezing.

So now prior to each allergy season I take a good B vitamin a couple times a day with a lot of liquid. I have the Jarrow B formula now, and I like that.

I've found there aren't enough B vitamins in many of the multivitamins to get the same results.

People with severe malabsorption won't get any B12 out of the usual B complex, multi, etc.

For those, at least 1000 mcg at a time is necessary to be near certain of getting any.
