Comments on: How to Fight Allergies

on 12/13/2007 I have found a product that has been scientifically proven to provide relief from allergens in your sleep. The product is called IntellAtex Negative Ion Allergen Control Bedding. This revolutionary patent pending technology traps and immobilizes positive charged allergens. Eliminate the trapped allergens by normal household laundering thereby recharging your bed linens. This technology is permanent! You can learn more at http://www.myfavoritestyles.com/intellatex.aspx

on 11/22/2005 I have found that if I get into a crisis with allergens that I can chew 1000 mg of vitamin C and it will help balance my system more quickly! This is something I have found works for me and have approval from my physician, and I always check first!

on 11/22/2005 My doctor has recommended a multi vitamin as well as 1000 mg of both C & E. This reinforces the immune system as well as works as an antioxidant. Only your doctor can be sure this regimen is what you need, so please check with your physician first!
