Finally, A Safer More Effective Answer for 50 Million Allergy Sufferers

I’d never seen anything like it. A clear June sky, an occasional breeze, the slight ripple of water as Lisa and I cut silently through the water in our canoe. If you’ve ever been canoeing, you know what I’m talking about. Just you and the river.

Then ahead of us, about thirty feet in the air, a patch of green mist hung above the river. Remember the T.V. show The X Files? That’s what it reminded me of. It was the strangest thing. Mysterious and kind of spooky. We saw that mist a couple of more times on the trip. But I didn’t think about it much until that night—when Lisa had a sever allergy attack. Until then, I’d never seen one of those either.

I Thought The Night Would Never End

We were trying to camp. It was a beautiful night—but you wouldn’t know it in our tent. She was completely incapacitated. Her eyes burned, she sneezed and coughed non-stop. Finally, after hours with no sleep or relief, she broke down and cried. It was terrible.

When we got up to leave the next morning, our windshield was coated with a layer of fine green dust. But I still didn’t make the connection until later that day . . .tree pollen.

That was before Shaklee and before we knew anything about how powerful a weapon nutrition can be. But since then, by trial and error (and research), we’ve learned a great deal. Talk to most doctors and they’ll tell you that allergies are one of those things that you really can’t cure --the best you can do is take drugs (good luck with the side effects—both known and unknown, short and long-term) or suffer through them.

This Year She’s Allergy Free

Now, I’m not going to lie to you. There is no silver bullet here. This didn’t happen overnight. It took years of trial and error to overcome this problem. But now, you can take what we learned to shorten your learning curve.

But first, some facts I found on the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America website. I had no idea allergies were this big of a problem.

• More Americans than ever are suffering from allergies—1 out of every5--about 50 million people. It has been increasing since the early 1980’s across all age, sex and racial groups.
  
• Allergies are the most frequently reported chronic condition in children, limiting activities for more than 40% of them.
  
• Each year, allergies account for more than 17 million outpatient office visits.
  
• The annual cost of allergies is estimated to be nearly $7 billion.
  

A Hypersensitive Immune System

There is nowhere near enough room here for a quality explanation about how allergies work. But you can find a really good one here

Lisa also has an excellent tape called Natural Solutions for Allergy Relief she would be happy to share with you if you want to learn even more. But basically, in a nutshell, what happens during an allergic reaction is the immune system misidentifies an otherwise harmless substance as harmful, and then attacks it with a ferocity far greater than required.

Lisa’s Silver Bullet

If you listen to the tape, or do your own research (which I highly recommend), you’ll find a wide range of nutritional and environmental answers—starting with avoiding nasty’s like household toxins, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol—maybe even dairy! And everybody is different. Lisa did all of those things. She also takes daily quantities of supplements like: Soy Protein, Vita Lea, Vita C, B-Complex, and Vita E (and more).

But the one thing that she swears has helped her conquer her allergies, more than anything else, is Optiflora. If you or someone you know suffers from allergies, give Lisa a call. Don’t suffer needlessly when a few simple adjustments (without drugs!) can make such a huge difference.

If we don’t answer the phone, we’re probably canoeing or camping—we’ve got some time to make up!
