Why do people worry more if you argue with your voices than if you just talk with them? What about if you lose those arguements?
Slowly going crazy at work... they found a way to make the voices work too.

Ay Guys, You allergy stricken knifebros...I'm gonna cure you of your seasonal allergies once and for all...no need to suffer anymore. The ancient cure is what the Chinese have been doing for centuries and it really works...big time... Ok...here is what you do. And the best part it's only gonna cost you $6-$8 for the cure... Look for a bee keeper that is local to your region, if you can't find one, look in something like the the business telephone directory for Apiaries..(That's the fancy name for a beekeeper), still no luck call you local exterminator and he will provide you with the name of a local bee keeper. Next buy two bottles of honey from the bee keeper (try to get the honey from the bottom of the vats if possible) You want your Honey to have lots of black specks in it. Those specks of black are natural antihistamine, (you won't find specks in supermarket honey as they are removed cause people won't buy the honey thinking it's got dirt in it) that come from your local bees from the flowers and such in your area. Make sure it's local (within a 20 miles radius) if you live in NY and you get the Honey from Florida it won't work) You must use honey from your region, from the local bees. Now during the beginning of Ragweed season take one tablespoon a day of the honey for 30 days, (you will notice some of your symptoms will start to dissipate. Repeat the procedure in the spring with your second bottle just at the beginning of Hay fever season for another 30 days. You will notice that you have very little symptoms during the season....When ragweed season comes around next year...you will be cured...no symptoms at all. The immunity will last 7-10 years before you have to do it again. If you have really bad allergies you can choose to do it every year twice a year during the time period I mentioned (just in case you don't trust me that it will last for 7-10 years before you have to do it again) No more itchy watery eyes, sneezing, and sniffing, sinus problems etc....Good Luck..No need to suffer anymore if you do what I say...You will get my bill in the mail....LOL.....Doc :D :D :D

Get yourself a netti pot. http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod. ... D=61285576

It sounds crazy, it feels crazy, but it works. In other parts of the world this is a daily routine just like brushing your teeth. I found that the squeeze bottle method worked better for me but some people can't handle the sinus pressure they create when using them...but they do push out mucus and clear up your sinuses better IMO. Seriously i was skeptical but they really do help especially if you have a cold.

Oddly enough, a couple years ago i started wearing contacts and my allergies are all but gone. I don't know if they have anything to do with it but i rarely get bothered by allergies anymore, and i used to get them super bad and was on Claritin everyday.

For most people the netti pots don't really work...actually they can make matters worse...There is a product out there for the sinus that is called Simply Saline, (Red Can)(nothing more than saline solution) it has an easy to use applicator built in...pick it up in most chain drug stores...works great....don't want to spend the money...You can just make a solution of water and salt, breathe it up into the nostril (not hard enough to go into the throat)and push it out with a forceful blow while standing over a sink) Repeat several times... That ought to help the sinus for sure.....You can also spray a product that you can get from V-Vax.com which is 100% pure Eucalyptus Oil....(from down under)...Spray some on a tissue, place a finger over one nostril and breathe into the other stuffed on for 30 seconds, repeat on the other side....takes about 20 seconds for the membrane in the sinus to shrink and you should be able to breathe again without the use of Afrin or other drug store product...the good thing is once sprayed you can reuse that tissue all day long as often as you want, furthermore it will never make your nose bleed like those drug store products do after three days of use. You can also inhale V-Vax through the mouth and out through the nose afterward to clear the lungs and bronchial tubes....(all natural...won't hurt you in any way) You may cough when inhaled at first or the eyes may water a little...this is normal.... Doc :D

Yup. I live in Knoxville, TN- notoriously rated as the worst city in the country for airborne allergens. The worst is that dry cough...

The honey thing does work ,and yes it's regional.

Even if it doesn't work for some reason, it's tasty.

For the most part, people would just use an Indian neti pot to clean out the sinuses. The problem is the neti pot doesn’t have enough pressure to properly clean out the entire sinus cavity. Go grab yourself some NeilMed Sinus Rinse. It comes with pre-filled pharmaceutical grade salt and sodium bicarbonate packets used to clean out the entire sinus cavity. When mixed with water it creates the perfect amount of saline content to not create any inflammation in the nasal cavity. To use, lean over a sink and squirt the solution up one nostril and then the next. Do this twice a day for the first month and once a day thereafter.


A lot of allergy sufferers have great success with a series of coffee enemas (I know it sounds sick) to clean out the liver. Many allergies start in the liver when it gets congested with stones and you can see unreal differences after completing the enemas.


A few products to check out as far as supplements go are as followed...

Quercetin (MegaFood.com/Health Food Stores), this stuff works amazingly well. My brother had a crazy allergy headache and within 30 minutes of taking this, it was gone. Platycodon Teapills (MayWay.com), take eight of them 2-3 times per day.


As far as drugs go (OTC or prescription)... I tend to stay away from anything created by big pharma. Anti-allergy drugs such as Benadryl greatly increase the chances of dementia in seniors. Also they keep your body from producing sufficient mucus which fights off infection so those are no-no's to take.


The quickest way to get rid of allergies is the use of the electro Accu-Scope with the headband applied to the occiput of the skull at 10 hertz. With the sample of the allergic substance under the tongue, it only takes about 30 seconds to a minute to completely relieve that person from the allergy. Long term? It seems to last for a few years and that person may become allergic to the substance again. But it may also last much longer than that.

They also have allergy injections you can get once a week. I am going to start them. My dad did them for about a year, (20 or so years ago), and even to this day his allergies are significantly better than they were. The downside is the weekly trips and costs associated. I am not sure how much it is as I have not yet looked into it.

Ive got allergies galore ans asthma. My allergies cause sneezing, ithcy eyes and also atopic dermatitis and eczema. I got it all and my bro got none!! Ive done allergy shots and tried every type of pill, cream, ointment, eyedrops, etc. Nothing really works for me. Several times a year they get so bad that i have to go on prednisone!! Makes me feel great for a couple weeks ans knocks out whatever severe reaction im having. Then slowly! But surely they come creeping back. Lots of fun. I LOVE dogs, but cannot have one due to this.
