ARTHRITIS….ALLERGY – THE SIMPLE ¨DRUG – FREE¨ SOLUTION
Allergy or Infection? Sinus problems. over the last year and half i have had congestion?
And sometimes it comes back at night. I have to blow my nose a lot and the mucous is always clear or white. The congestion is usually gone after a few hours and by the afternoon I am usually fine. Recently congestion has been more frequent and hits me in the afternoon. The mucous is a bit watery and clear. Also, The last few months I have been getting a funny smell / odor in my nose. It only happens once or twice a day where for a several seconds there is a strange odor in my nose. I don’t have health insurance and I haven’t taken any over the counter allergy medication. If it is an infection wouldn’t the mucous be yellow from time to time? and why the occassional strange smell inside my nose ? yesterday I had a headache right between the eyes and took some advil. I usually don’t take any type of medications. I took an antihistamine capsule this morning and after an hour I didn’t have to blow my nose anymore. Still clear as of 5pm. Will I have to depend on a pill forever?
Actually you are quite fortunate in that your symptom(s) are usually temporary. Millions of people suffer 24/7 and medicate, rather than confront the usual source(s). I also agree that you do not appear to have a sinus infection. You may not need to medicate yourself for the “rest” of your life! (pun intended, learn how to get a proper nights “rest”) When was the last time you cleaned your mattresses and pillows? Or, when was the last time you REPLACED your pillows?
Studies conducted by health institutions and universities have concluded the importance of sleeping on hygienic mattresses and pillows.
Our indoor environmental issues have been proven to be getting worse each year. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has now realized this fact, has replaced their previous #1 concern “outdoor air quality” with the new #1 concern “indoor air quality” and has created a new website to educate the public (visit: http://www.noattacks.org).
Here are the 3 things people need to learn about allergies.
Medicate, medicate, medicate is what everyone believes will answer your problem. WRONG! The true beneficiaries of this solution are ONLY the allergy and immunology centers, general practitioners, immunologists, and Big Pharma companies who rake in $billions each year on OTC and prescribed meds.
The general public needs to realize that pharmcotherapy and immunotherapy are the LAST resorts, not first!
The 3 things people need to learn:
1). Educate themselves on the causes of allergies
2). Source Control, remove allergens from the environment
3). Ventilation, increase indoor ventilation to lower allergens
Education: The reason why so many persons are suffering from allergies (54.3% of the population tested positive for at least 1 of 10 common allergens according to a national health institution) is due to the increase of indoor air pollutants since 1980. Why 1980? The energy crisis of the 70′s caused the government to mandate better construction methods requiring more insulation and more “air-tight” structures. It helped stymie energy usage but the downside, which has not been realized until just very recently, is that indoor air pollutants have accumulated year after year, in all of our buildings; i.e., schools, work places, and homes.
Source Control: Identifying the source (dust in most cases) is the primary cause of allergies, second only to pollen. Pollen #1 outdoors – Dust #1 indoors. And indoors, the dust mite has been proven to be responsible for 80% to 90% of the ALLERGENIC composition of household dust. Dust mites live, thrive, and breed by the millions in the micro-habitat that humans provide while sleeping under the covers in their cozy little beds. And these millions of dust mites poop 20-30 times per day. The fecal pellets (15 microns in size) dry up, turn into a powder then disintegrate into even smaller particles, which become airborne every time you fluff your pillow or toss and turn in bed (average 50 to 60 times per night). These particles which contain a harmful protein that kills living tissue is called guanine (think guano, as in bat guano) become airborne and you inhale them. Once in your lungs, the protein attaches itself to the healthy cells lining your lungs and suffocates them. As the Europeans have discovered over the past 12 to 15 years, sleeping on hygienic mattresses has reduced and continues to reduce the amount of money spent on allergy medications by the $BILLIONS.
Many people are sensitive to VOC’s within a home and this can be addressed by using special paints, stains, sealers, and cleaning products for both home and personal hygiene use.
Work and school sites need to implement better source control and ventilation…YOU must remember this. While sleeping in your own bed, this is precisely the time that your body is going through “recuperative mending” including rebuilding your immune system, so that you can better ward off the effects of indoor pollutants at school and work.
Ventilation: Allowing you living habitat to naturally ventilate will reduce the indoor contaminants (indoor air quality is 2 to 5 times worse than outdoor air quality, and in some cases, 100 to 500 worse is not unheard of). Of couse, when your local weather forecaster tells you that the mold and ragweed count is “high” you do not want to open your windows especially in the mornings when the “counts” are at highest of the day.
We vacuum our carpets fairly often, once per week, maybe every other week. We have our carpets professionally cleaned once a year, maybe more. Dust mites are found in carpeting but at only a fraction of the number that are found in mattresses. So when was the last time your mattress and pillows, items you have intimate contact with 8 hours each day, were cleaned?
You could probably improve you health overnight by sleeping on the floor…

Is There Still a Role for First-generation Antidepressants?
Since the introduction of fluoxetine, the first “second generation antidepressant”, in 1988, drug brand names such as Prozac, Lexapro and Zoloft have become household words. But what about the “first-generation antidepressants”? Even to many of the millions of Americans who struggle with depression, medications such as Elavil, Pamelor, and Tofranil, some of the earliest depression medications …
