The following might be useful to help everyone deal with allergy problems, it
|
|
seems to only take about one afternoon of treatment that can last up to a
|
|
month in some cases.
|

From Science Digest - December 1982
|
|
|
|
In Brief
|
|
|
|
Inhalation of warm, moist air may help quell respiratory allergies.
|
|
|
|
A team of Israeli and French physicians recently tested a new device, called
|
|
the Rhinoderm, that delivers humidified air at 109 degrees Fahrenheit into a
|
|
patient's nostrils.
|
|
|
|
Of those allergy sufferers receiving three 30-minute treatments spaced two
|
|
hours apart, about three-quarters reported that they were FREE of symptoms a
|
|
week later; two-thirds said their relief lasted for up to a month.
|
|
|
|
The Rhinotherm was effective against allergies to pollen, molds, dust and
|
|
animal hair. The researchers speculate that in raising the temperature of the
|
|
nasal passages, the procedure somehow rallies the patient's defenses against
|
|
the factors causing allergic attacks. They also note that it may effectively
|
|
suppress symptoms of the common cold as well.
|

|
Vanguard Note
|
|
|
|
The speculation as to why this treatment works on allergies is more
|
|
logically due to flushing of the nasal passages by the hot moisturized air.
|
|
|
|
Tissue is known to expand and become very absorptive when exposed to warm
|
|
moisture and so, it makes more sense to claim that the polluting agents that
|
|
accumulate on the nasal walls and up in the sinus passage could be easily
|
|
dislodged by the hot moisture and ejected by blowing the nose. Simply
|
|
blowing ones nose won't easily remove lodged allergic particulates, but the
|
|
hot, wet air would.
|
|
|
|
As to colds, there is a machine on the market now (though I can't think of
|
|
the name of it) which produces a hot moisture that is to be inhaled through
|
|
the nostrils. The idea is that the hot air would help to kill off any
|
|
bacteria associated with the cold.
|
|
|
|
I have also seen a device that would act as a pin to hold the nostrils
|
|
together, thus preventing the input of any cooler air to aid the growth of
|
|
the bacteria. When the nostrils are held closed, the excess heat of the
|
|
body will naturally kill off the bacteria.
|
|
|
|
Another item I have tried for the feeling of a cold or flu (beginnings of a
|
|
sore throat or nasal drips) is 2 HCL tablets followed by a glass of water
|
|
and then sleep. The tablets that I used were called BETAINE w/pepsin and
|
|
sold as an assist to digestion. However, thanks to the experimentation of
|
|
Bob Aldrich and some of his folks out in LA based on the paper HCL.ASC, I
|
|
haven't had flu now in almost two years. When I feel the beginning of the
|
|
sore throat or drips, I just take 2 tablets, the water and sleep, waking up
|
|
with NO SYMPTOMS. The bottomline is whatever WORKS FOR YOU.
|
|
|
|
One more point regarding allergies, vitamin B-12 has been found to be very
|
|
effective in helping to reduce the allergic response. The recommended dose
|
|
was 2000mg (milligrams) per day. I must report that for 3 days running I
|
|
had the most miserable of allergy symptoms, itching eyes and clogged
|
|
nostrils, to the point that I was taking Triaminic and 4Way Nasal Spray just
|
|
to be able to breathe comfortably.
|
|
|
|
After finding out about the B-12, I took 2000mg the night before and awoke
|
|
the 4th day with clear nostrils. HOWEVER, I found I had to do 4000mg per
|
|
day to keep them as clear as possible. One other good point about B-12, is
|
|
it's supposed to give you extra energy, it seemed to do so for me, but I am
|
|
uncertain that the B-12 was the cause because of the fore-knowledgeable
|
|
about what it was SUPPOSED to do. Good luck with minimizing your allergy
|

problems........................................................>>> Jerry
