You can't prevent allergies, but you can avoid exposure to the allergens that set off your allergy symptoms. And you can relieve allergy symptoms through a combination of self-management and doctor-supervised treatments.

This is not a miracle cure. It is just a way to help your body avoid sending the hook and ladder trucks to take care of a smoldering candle.

By stopping colds and allergic reactions, it goes without saying that you can avoid many secondary infections and chronic conditions that might follow.

Other conditions for which simple remedies are suggested include headaches, fever blisters, skin fungus, poison ivy, earache, and sinusitis. No medications or herbal remedies are required.

After a lifetime of colds and allergies, the author has been free of both for the past eight years and believes you will find her methods to be easy, inexpensive, and very rewarding.
