It is estimated that over 60 million people suffer from allergies in the United States alone and they are the result of an immune system gone wild!  Instead of recognizing the allergen as BENIGN, the immune system identifies it as something sinister and produces antibodies designed to defuse the foreign invader to protect us.  This defense mechanism results in sniffling, sneezing, coughing, runny nose and more. 

Today. we are exposed to over 60,000 different chemicals that accumulate in our body’s tissues and organs.  The chemical build-up in our body is known as the “rain barrel effect” which means the toxins build up to a point where the last drop spills over the top and the body can no longer cope with the extent of the toxicity contained in the body.  When this happens, the immune system develops a high sensitivity that triggers the allergic reactions.

Many over-the-counter drugs,  prescription antihistamines and decongestants are losing their effectiveness and can lead to cold-like symptoms as well as anxiety, insomnia and drowsiness.  The good news is there are some natural remedies that can give you some relief:

QUERCETIN – is found in onions, apples, berries, cabbage, grapefruit, tea and red wine and is very effective in preventing symptoms of allergies.  It is available in supplement form so you do not have to eat onions everyday or drink red wine.  A friend of mine worked in a beautiful furniture store for the home and she was suffering from allergy symptoms everyday.  New textiles would arrive from all over the world and she was just miserable with a runny nose that would not stop.  The Quercetin supplement really helped alleviate her symptoms the very first day. 

PROBIOTICS – are friendly bacteria that help normalize the immune system and prevent allergic responses.  They literally help the body differentiate between harmless substances and dangerous invaders.  Try ACIDOPHILUS in supplement form and follow label directions or include low-fat yogurt as a delicious snack.

CO-ENZYME Q10 – is a vitamin-like compound that helps build the immune system and enhances the effect of anti-allergy supplements.

VITAMIN C – provide natural antihistamines and anti-inflammatory benefits by stabilizing cell membranes so histamines are not easily released.  Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits so squeeze a lemon into your water bottle, add berries to your oatmeal or smoothie in the morning and use herbs and spices like parsley and turmeric.  Vitamin C can help prevent allergic responses from happening in the first place.

MILK THISTLE – is an herb that contains Sylimarin that supports liver function and protects the cells in our bodies by neutralizing the effects of toxins, chemicals and pollutants.

OMEGA 3′S - are found in fish, ground flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds and nuts and will help reduce inflammation throughout the body. 

STINGING NETTLE – contains a host of anti-inflammatory substances as well as vitamins, flavonoids and minerals.  Hay Fever sufferers do very well in reducing their symptoms by taking freeze-dried nettle leaf.

PEPPERMINT TEA – helps thin mucus, break up congestion and relieve nasal symptoms.

GARLIC – is rich in flavonoids and acts as an antioxidant  enzyme to break up mucus and congestion plus kill bad bacteria.

THYME – helps to calm a cough and soothes irritated bronchial tubes.

Add fresh thyme to soups or sauces.

Do all you can to keep your immune system strong and start taking a natural supplement at least 2-3 weeks before allergy season starts for best results. 

In regards to starting and stopping biomedical therapies, I would like to talk about that for a little bit. I often am asked the question “If my child is taking B12, or my child is on Diflucan or my child is on Nystatin, or my child is taking various supplements, can I stop these therapies at once or should I be weaning them off of these things?”. My answer, I believe, applies to many of the biomedical therapies that are used and if you are not seeing any further improvements or the initial benefits you saw when you first started a therapy, you could be hitting a plateau. At that point, and certainly you would want to check with your own doctor on this as well, it is my experience that stopping these therapies would not result in any ill effects.

While there are certainly medications where weaning off is appropriate, for instance the case of steroid medications, anti-depressant medications and many other medications for psychiatric issues. You would need to lower the dose slowly and not just stop them all at once. But for many biomedical therapies like anti-fungal treatments, most supplements and things like B12, there is no need to wean your child from them. In my experience, you can just stop those therapies when you feel there is no longer any benefit, of course consultation with your physician would be warranted first. Many people ask about B12 therapy and whether that can be stopped suddenly. And my feeling is that if that therapy needs to be stopped, you certainly can so do at once and then if you decide to restart it later you can do so.

And this is true for the majority of the treatments we use in the biomedical Autism community. Generally speaking we are not going to see dangerous reactions, we are not putting these children on very stressful medications or even medications that are highly toxic. And there certainly are medications that would warrant a weaning off rather than an abrupt stopping. And I would like to stress that this is still an issue to cover with your own physician especially if you ever have any question about this. But many of the common things that we put these children on such as nutritional supplements, anti-fungals, etc. can be stopped whenever they need to be stopped, without needing to wean the child off of them.

Children of all ages are very prone to allergic reactions from a number of sources. Hay fever, in particular, seems to be suffered by children all over the world. This makes perfect sense if you think about it. Kids don’t have the same respect for just how dirty our environment can be. They’ll gladly stick their nose in a flower or go for a roll in the hay without even considering the consequences. Pets, as well, seem to love children and this can be bad. If your child suffers from pet allergies, he’ll probably want to play with your cat or dog even more!

So what are some common symptoms of allergies in children? Well, if you see any of the following traits, there is a good chance your child is suffering from an allergic reaction. The most common symptom to look for is sneezing. If your kid constantly sneezes or complains about having itchy eyes, chances are you should look into getting him or her some medication.

In more serious cases, a child can even experience asthmatic type symptoms. He could be short of breath or even wheezy. Reactions to allergens found on pets can produce some different symptoms in your child. The most common one of these is probably the nettle rash. Look for this especially if your kid has been scratched. Cats seem to be worse than dogs for this…

A lot of children suffer from different allergies so it’s not something that you should be too worried about. That said, we all want our kids to lead a healthier, more enjoyable life so it’s worth learning more about child allergies.
