Dealing with pollen and dust allergies...

Homeopathy is basically just selling overpriced water. Since they actually admit that much, it’s pretty safe to assume you have no idea what you're talking about.

And let's be real—your daughter didn't magically get over her allergies because of some diluted solution. They just went away on their own, which is exactly what happens to a huge chunk of people once they hit adulthood. Personally, most of my own issues just seemed to vanish after puberty passed me by.

Well, bravo! 😂

Homeopathy is just selling overpriced water. Since they basically admit that themselves, you clearly haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

Your daughter didn't get over her allergies because of water; she outgrew them, just like most people do once they hit adulthood. Most of my own issues cleared up right after puberty.

Way to go, genius. Look, nobody in life gives you a 100% guarantee—not Western medicine, not alternative stuff, not even Peter or whoever else. But some things are worth a shot since there's nothing to lose. I personally know someone who beat cancer through macrobiotics, so you can call it nonsense all you want, but nobody asked for your opinion. On the flip side, I had two friends who were absolutely destroyed by chemo, so you can talk about "medicine" all day. That's exactly why there are a hundred different ways to heal; you should have options instead of blindly trusting just one.

Joseph Watson3 said:Right, because water is definitely the cure, not antihistamines. Please—give me a break with this alternative medicine nonsense.

You're just proving how little you know by ignoring actual facts. Besides all those "chemical" treatments, there's a whole range of other effective methods out there—and they don't come with nasty side effects.
You probably haven't realized that everything in this world is made of energy vibrating at specific frequencies. When our body's frequency gets thrown off, we get sick. We can heal ourselves by fixing that vibration. There are several ways to do it, and one way is actually drinking the water you mentioned. But we're talking about WATER WITH A SPECIFIC FREQUENCY, which is what actually restores your health.

Oh, please. 🤣🤣

Did you pick that up from some snake-oil pamphlet trying to sell you something, or...? What exactly is supposed to be vibrating inside the body or the water here—and what frequency are we talking about? 🙂

Read up, Joseph Watson3. Seriously, do some research and find the facts for yourself.

I wouldn't go so far as to call internet literature "charlatan garbage"—that's a bit too blunt. But let’s be real: if homeopathy actually worked, there would be a single reproducible scientific study to prove it. Instead, we have about a thousand studies showing it performs no better than a placebo. It's all public record, really. If you know how to look, the evidence is right there. Sufficient for anyone with half a brain.

Jason Howard9 said:Which specific flour triggers your allergy? Is it wheat? If that is the only issue, you can opt for cornmeal or rye bread instead.

Everything... wheat, corn—you name it. So what am I left with? Whole wheat flour?🙄

Do you have celiac disease? In this case, you should be using gluten-free flour, but if you aren't dealing with celiac, why not try some sorghum flour instead?

Hey everyone 🙂

It’s late, I can't sleep, so here I am listing my symptoms again... I can't breathe, there's constant coughing, and my nose is perpetually stuffed up. As soon as I lie down, the coughing starts and I feel like I can't get any air in (plus this popping sensation in my chest). I went to several private specialists for testing—spirometry, lung scans, sinus checks, you name it—and everything comes back "fine." The doctors claim it's just a severe dust allergy. Look, I don't want to be a hypochondriac, but is it actually possible for an allergy to be so intense that I can't sleep all night and end up gasping for air? It feels exactly like an asthma attack. One night I even rushed to the ER like a lunatic because I couldn't catch my breath, and the woman there just tells me: "It's not pneumonia and it's not bronchitis, just up your allergy meds and you'll be fine." You have no idea how exhausting it is to spend the entire night choking on a cough and struggling to breathe, only to have to go to work in the morning. I'm at a loss. Should I go out and find a second—or third—opinion?😢

In any case, definitely seek out a second opinion. I have to ask—did you actually undergo a skin allergy test?
For what it's worth, my experience was almost identical to yours—though, rather than allergies, my issues stemmed from those damn sinuses 😠. Because of the constant post-nasal drip, things like dry air (say, during a harsh wind chill in Chicago) or even the warm air blowing from an AC unit would really irritate me. Not to mention how bad things got at night; if I were lying down, I probably wouldn't have slept a wink because I’d be choking on a coughing fit. Doctors kept telling me I was allergic to something, yet I wasn't. So, I went looking for a second—and even a third—opinion. I ended up doing allergy testing three separate times within a single year, and every single one came back negative. Absolutely nothing. I also had all the other tests done, including X-rays and spirometry (which resulted in a diagnosis of impaired lower lung function), leading them to tell me I ought to quit smoking 😁. They suggested that such findings are quite common with chronic sinus inflammation, more or less.
Regardless, go get that second opinion.

If the dust is actually bothering you this much—just buy a decent vacuum with an EPA filter. Get rid of all those unnecessary fabrics cluttering your house; they’re nothing but dust magnets. And make sure to clean every single corner properly—under the TV, behind the cabinets, under the mattress...

A few days ago, I suddenly came down with what felt like the flu. My throat is feeling better today, but last night my eyes started watering and my nose won't stop running. Every time I open a window, things get worse—it feels exactly like some outdoor allergy.

Thanks for all the input.👍>

Samuel Morgan40, you hit the nail on the head with what you're describing... I've been digging through my own research for a bit now. I actually went in for some sinus scans and they told me everything looks fine aside from a deviated septum. I'm also dealing with that constant post-nasal drip😢... though I've been drinking this marshmallow root tea and it seems to be helping a little. They told me my allergies are triggered by dust mites. Does anyone know if there's anything that actually helps with chronic sinusitis?

Papa Smurf, it’s almost certainly an allergy if you find yourself feeling better in enclosed spaces...

That’s a tough one. Personally—and I blame a rather sloppy, superficial doctor I once saw—my severe acute sinusitis spiraled into a chronic nightmare. I've been through just about everything since then. It's a constant struggle, and everyone seems to tell me that surgery is the only way out. Then again, I hear plenty of people saying the same thing: that the problems just come right back after the operation anyway. People suggest all sorts of things, from bioenergy (which, in my experience, is just as temporary!) to general alternative medicine, acupuncture, and so on.

What actually saves me is the ocean. Whenever I can, I grab a container of pure sea salt/ocean minerals and "sniff" that. For those who don't live near the coast year-round, there is a decent little recipe that a famous specialist once gave me.

INGREDIENTS:
1. A 20ml plastic syringe (you can pick one up at any local pharmacy)
2. A liter of bottled water (something like Dasani)
3. A teaspoon of baking soda
4. Two teaspoons of coarse sea salt

PREPARATION:
Boil the water and let it cool down until it's lukewarm. Mix in the baking soda and the coarse sea salt. Let it cool completely, pour it into a bottle, and keep it in the refrigerator.

USAGE:
Every morning and every evening (right before bed), do the following:
Pour a bit of the liquid from the bottle into a cup (about a cup and a half)—just make sure it isn't hot. Next, head over to the sink. Use the syringe to "suck up" the liquid. Insert it into one nostril (try to go a little deep), plug the other nostril firmly, and slowly flush the liquid in (if you're using a 10ml syringe, do this twice). Repeat the exact same process for the other nostril (plugging the one you aren't currently flushing). While you're doing this, you might feel a bit of a tingling sensation in your sinuses as the water circulates from one side to the other. Once you're done, stay over the sink, because quite a bit of it is going to drain out. The key is making sure it clears those passages. 😉

Gargle with whatever liquid is left over.

Honestly, it was a lifesaver for me!!! 🙂 Good luck.

Thanks 👍

I'm heading out to Golden Gate Park tomorrow. I'll be coming back with a bottle of seawater and these ingredients for the upper rinse... I might try some alternative method too... but honestly, I still think this is the best way to "flush" everything out 🤣

I remember when I was with Yoge, he showed me this little device used to clear out sinuses. He picked it up somewhere out East... you basically just pour water from one nostril to the other... pretty much the same thing as what was described above

Look, just a bit of advice—if you're going to collect seawater, please try to find somewhere relatively pristine or at least decent. I'd suggest an open area where there isn't any runoff from sewage systems nearby. For heaven's sake, don't just scoop it up from the Chesapeake Bay, 🙂God forbid.

I guess I'll try this artificial recipe then... just to be on the safe side. By the way, could you tell me which method they actually used to confirm that chronic sinus inflammation of yours?

My X-ray back then showed an absolutely horrific state regarding my lungs and sinuses—just pure shadows—right before I started treatment. That was about 13 years ago. At that point, I ended up on a regimen of penicillin injections, topped off with this massive cocktail of shots to try and bolster my immune system. Before all that, I went through every live test imaginable—they practically drained me of blood 😬—along with spirometry, allergy testing, and sinus ultrasounds. Things did improve afterward, but I still deal with recurring pain in my forehead and eyebrows every single winter, especially when there's a cold, dry wind blowing, much like a harsh gust coming off the Great Lakes. Mucus tends to drain down into my lungs, particularly when I’m lying down in a warm room at night. Honestly, I blame my former doctor; due to their procrastination, they failed to recognize a severe acute sinus infection, and by the time it was finally identified, the damage was done. It had transitioned into a chronic issue, or so several specialists have told me. I continue to get various tests done here and there, which don't really show anything out of the ordinary, other than the fact that those sinuses can get a bit "inflamed"—they're just sensitive, I suppose. I have to keep them under control and be very careful 🙂

Nice. That looks just like the one from Yoga Process he was using. Ordering it now!😍
