kin seeds, and cold-water fatty fish. Green Tea is rich in catechin, a poly- phenol (antioxidant) that inhibits the enzyme that converts histidine to histamine. For max- imum benefits, use loose tea leaves instead of tea bags and pair with fruit or vegetables high in vitamin C. Rosemary contains a substance called rosmarinic acid, a polyphenol that is believed to suppress allergic reactions and inflammation. Try adding rosemary to roast potatoes, marinades, and tomato sauces. Tumeric boasts anti-inflammatory proper- ties. A central ingredient in curries and other Indian dishes, it can be taken in capsules for maximum benefit. Add a little black pepper to make it work better. Sunflower Seeds, Brazil nuts and Tuna are among the best sources of selenium which stimulates immune function. The sunflower seeds are also high in vitamin E, an anti-inflammatory. Local Honey and Bee Pollen are helpful for some people. It’s thought that bee pollen works by slowly desensitizing your body to the pollen. With small daily doses, your body builds up its defenses to fight off the allergens and avoid reaction in the future. The medical treatment for pollen aller- gies is either several years of allergen im- munotherapy (allergy shots), or medications that include antihistamines, decongestants, and leukotriene inhibitors. The more serious medications include steroids, bronchodiala- tors and mast cell stabilizers. There are many natural products containing herbs, vitamins and homeopathic remedies that provide relief with few side effects. However, alter- native medicine has a technique that will eliminate your reactions. Imagine never taking another pill for
allergies, or even better, imagine knowing you won’t react in the future. No more sniff- ing, sneezing, wheezing or itching! Allergy desensitization can be accomplished pain- lessly and rapidly using Advanced Allergy
Technique(AAT). There are several allergy desensitization treatments available, most notably Nambrudipad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) which is the root of the current technologically sophisticated AAT treatments. Advanced Allergy Technique recognizes that your allergic reactions are a mistake in the information that is carried in the brain, the cells, the tissue, the body and the energetic field. We continually process information in the form of food, hormones, neurotransmitters, etc. Each cell speaks to its neighbors and to distant cells. Each cell is an elaborate bio-chemical computer that holds memory. The body’s over reaction to food, pollen or perfume is a damaging and damaged memory. The amazing thing is that we can repair the body’s memory by giving it the correct information as a wavelength using AAT. Elimination of the allergic reac- tion is achieved by stimulation of acupunc- ture meridians along the back along with transmitting the correct information to the body. Clearing for a specific sensitivity helps to rebalance the body’s response resulting in a marked decrease or complete resolution of symptoms. The idea that correcting the en- ergy flow helps heal is older than acupunc- ture and is the basis of a myriad of healing techniques: Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, reflex- ology. AAT combines this ancient under- standing of the human body with advanced technology to correct the body’s reactions. Most patients respond, many remarkably. Almost all experience an improvement in their overall health as well as elimination of their annoying allergic reactions. Submitted by Anne Mitchell, ND. Learn more at
