How to Stop Allergy Symptoms Fast

May 6th, 2015 by Margo Gladding

sneezeI am passing on another recommendation from Dr. Rob Ivker, author of Sinus Survival. He believes this product, called AllerDx, is a must-have for allergy sufferers. AllerDx is a Chinese herbal formula that has a multi-targeted approach to promote respiratory health and calm your overactive immune response; it can help stop allergy symptoms fast, providing immediate relief.

AllerDx was developed from years of clinical experience and shown to be safe and effective in scientific studies. It is an all-natural formula, manufactured under stringent controls to ensure quality and safety. It has been shown to:

• Calm histamine reactions within 10 to 20 minutes.
• Improve nasal air flow with respect to seasonal environmental sensitivities and challenges.
• Moderate the body’s reaction to the external environment.

AllerDx has been tested in two randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind, cross-over clinical trials. Study results showed that within 10-20 minutes, the subjects that received AllerDx began to show significantly improved nasal airflow compared to subjects that received a placebo.

Top Two Secret Weapons for Natural Allergy Support

May 4th, 2015 by Margo Gladding

pollenIt’s that time of year again – the dreaded allergy season. You know, where your head hurts, you can’t think, your eyes and ears itch, your nose runs, you sneeze, you feel drugged and you just want to close your eyes. But, what if you were equipped with two secret weapons that could stop your allergy tsunami? Dr. Rob Ivker, author of Sinus Survival, recommends two powerful products for natural allergy support that can halt symptoms in their tracks.

1. Dr. Jacques Masquelier’s formulation of grape seed extract: Pathway Grape Seed Extract or Grape Gold Grape Seed Extract

Grape seed extract exhibits a very high content of Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPC’s). OPCs are bioflavonoid complexes that act as free radical scavengers in the body. Beyond their antioxidant properties, OPCs have also been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic, and wound healing effects.

3 Simple Steps for an Allergy-Free Season

April 21st, 2015 by Margo Gladding

SS-A-1-breathing-in-natureExperts predict this allergy season to be particularly bad. If you are an allergy sufferer, then you know just how awful the symptoms can be. Fortunately, I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Rob Ivker, the leading authority on sinus health, author of the best-selling book SINUS SURVIVAL: The Holistic Medical Treatment for Sinusitis, Allergies, and Colds, and the creator of the Sinus Survival Allergy Treatment Program. Dr. Ivker gave me some great advice that I want to share with you.

Dr. Ivker’s 3 simple steps for an allergy-free season:

1. Consider food allergy testing – Food allergies and food sensitivities can contribute to allergy and sinusitis symptoms. Especially for individuals who experience chronic sinusitis, Dr. Ivker highly recommends looking into whether certain foods such as dairy, wheat/gluten, corn, soy, and eggs could be making your symptoms worse. Foods that you are either allergic to or sensitive to can cause inflammation in both your GI tract as well as your respiratory tract and result in more severe allergy symptoms. By identifying and eliminating problematic foods, you can reduce your body’s inflammatory burden and help ease your allergy symptoms.

2. Take 3 key supplements to build natural immunity to airborne allergies – Dr. Ivker’s favorite allergy protocol includes the following: Continue reading “3 Simple Steps for an Allergy-Free Season”
