Allergy relief from Acidopholus--a testimony

By Anne Whitcomb

For the first time in my life, I have been suffering greatly from allergies.
I've been receiving many a smarty-pants comment here and there from people
who tell me "isn't there a vitamin for that?". Ha Ha.

Many others have told me to take Allegra or Claritin, etc.. the list is
long, but not my preference since the side effects from those antihistimines
is not really up my alley.

OK, so being an inquisitive person, I've been researching this stuff and
trying very hard to rid myself of the scratchy eyes, constant sneezing and
middle of the night blowing of the nose! I think I have found a solution.

Since allergies are the result of an abnormal immune system response, I
decided to work on strengthening my immune system. I was taking Shaklee's
Nutriferon and my regular multivitamin and that didn't seem to do it.
However, once I increased my dosage of Optiflora from 1x/day to 2x/day, the
allergies went away immediately. Yippee! I even experimented and tried a
day with just one Optiflora and those damn sneezing attacks were back. So,
I highly recommend it.

Try it yourself and see if it helps. Thought I'd share...

Take Care All,

Anne

PS Whole Health MD also recommends Quercitin for Allergies and Asthma.
Shaklee has Quercitin in its Flavomax supplement, which I would also
recommend if you have really severe allergies or asthma.

ALLERGY AND SINUS RELIEF PROGRAM

ALLERGY AND SINUS RELIEF PROGRAM

Most people who suffer with allergy and sinus problems feel they must resort
to using medications that have unpleasant and even dangerous side effects.
For those who may be interested in safer, more natural alternatives, some of the
following premium products by Shaklee may be of interest.

Relieve Symptoms

Garlic
Retaining all the potency of l clove of fresh raw garlic without the odor.
Garlic is traditionally used for its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and
anti-inflammatory properties. People often take it to reduce symptoms of
allergy, asthma, colds, flu, sinus infections, yeast infections, diarrhea &
flatulence. It also has heart protective properties of lowering elevated blood
pressure and cholesterol levels.

Strengthen the Immune System

Sustained Release Vita C
For continuous antioxidant protection against environmental assaults, this
unique all-natural sustained formula slowly releases Vitamin C into your blood
stream over a 5-hour period and provides nutrients from the entire vitamin C
complex including bioflavonoids. Vitamin C has been found to protect against
smog, smoke, and poor diet, stress, bruising, varicose and spider veins, chronic
infection, allergies, asthma, colds, flu, swollen glands, anemia, colon polyps
and slow healing.

Immunity Booster
Developed and extensively tested by immunologists in Japan, this proprietary
blend of natural plant extracts is derived from pumpkin seeds, safflower
flowers, plantago seeds and Japanese honeysuckle flower buds. NutriFeron supports
and stimulates the immune system by increasing the activity of macrophages
(white blood cells) and inducing natural interferon production. It optimizes the
body´s immune response against environmental irritants and airborne
substances (as with allergies and asthma). Completely safe - no adverse reactions to these plant extracts recorded.

Acidopholus, Two-Product Daily Colon Care System
The healthy body contains trillions of "friendly" micro-organisms. Most of
them live in the colon and perform a multitude of health-supporting tasks.
The most common cause of imbalance in normal microflora populations is the use
of antibiotics. Other factors include age, poor food choices and low fiber
intake. Shaklee´s patented
state-of-the-art triple encapsulation process permits guaranteed delivery of
bifidobacterium longum and lactobacillus acidophilus to the intestine...and no
refrigeration is necessary. Adding these microflora can enhance the body´s
total immune response.

It is best to reduce consumption of dairy products, as they tend to increase
mucous production.


The MGM Supplement Manufacturer Difference
The principle of "Products in Harmony with Nature and Good Health" guides
our manufacturer science. Experts in nutrition, public health, food science, analytical
chemistry, biochemistry, herbology, microbiology and engineering staff the
52,000 square ft. Manufacturer Research Center in Hayward, California.
They continue the important research and development that makes each product the
world standard for quality.

Reduce Exposure to Toxins
In addressing allergy and sinus problems, a two-fold approach is usually
recommended: 1) strengthening the immune system (as discussed above), and 2)
avoiding products that could aggravate allergy and sinus conditions such as
certain foods and cleaning products. Many cleaning products not only irritate the
skin, but their odors can aggravate upper respiratory problems.

Laundry Concentrate
Fragrance free, no masking agents, no dyes, hypoallergenic, dust-free
granular formula, highly concentrated laundry product, natural organic enzymes,
environmentally safe (biodegradable, free of phosphates, chlorine, borates,
nitrates). Kosher certified.

disturbances, nervous disorders, mental changes, skin eruptions and jaundice).

Because the brain is the most sensitive organ in the body, many experts
recommend eliminating foods and environmental irritants that could create brain
allergies. (Doris Rapp, M.D. "Is This Your Child´s World?") Using MGM Supplement's cleaning and personal care products may be helpful as they are based on a
philosophy of "Living in Harmony with Nature."
