It's that time of year again. It's not the wintertime; it's not the fall. It's springtime.
We always have more issues when our practice members have allergy challenges in the spring than in the fall. I think the fall is because of the leaves and the mold in the air coming from the trees, dropping the leaves, and breaking down. But in the springtime, I know all of you when you ever look at your car; sometimes at the end of April or early May, there's like dust on it, that's pollen.
So we have a couple of products that we want to talk about, but I want you to know something, I breathe the same air you breathe, and I don't have airborne allergies. And part of the reason is that I'm very aware of what I put in my body. I do not eat sugar. Sugar compromises the immune system because it takes out cofactor minerals, and sugar places a demand on your white blood count and lymphatic system.
If you're having chronic health issues, you may consider doing the FIT Test. We've had people with chronic digestive, colon function, and breathing challenges because of food sensitivity.
We pride ourselves on teaching you what to avoid regarding our nutritional supplement approach, so maybe next season, you won't have allergies. Does that make sense? The first product is called the antihistamine factor, AHF. It's a proprietary blend of nutrients designed by Zorax Research Company. Histamine is processed in your intestine and is also involved with liver function. When histamine is released, like you know when you have a runny nose, probably the worst thing to take is an antihistamine. Because an antihistamine is tricking your body, that's an important point; it's tricking your body. The antihistamine factor helps your digestive system process histamine. The liver is an integral part of the whole histamine process.
Another suggestion with the Zorex manual is if somebody has a congested or compromised liver and or if you've had your gallbladder out, you may consider taking GB Complete, a sister product of this.
You say, "Dr. Bob, why do I have to take the product?" Because your liver has to do its job - processing the histamine. You see, you have a runny nose in sniffles because your body is creating fluid to dilute the toxin in your body. So taking an antihistamine from an over-the-counter is not getting to the root cause; it's complicating it because your liver has to process the antihistamine. So AHF is changing the physiological response in your body. It's much easier not to eat sugar, dairy, cookies, wheat, or peanut butter.
The HistoPlex-AB or airborne is another proprietary blend. It's a nutrient, and we've had great success with both. This is digestion; this is probably a more symptomatic way to approach it. So think of this as a natural over-the-counter antihistamine. And it works very, very well. And I'm not going to tell you not to use it, but over time, you say, "Dr. Bob, which one of these would you use if you were me?" When you did your report, if we told you had a large liver, you may want to do this. If you have digestive distress, you might want to use this. Why? Because it's digestion. If you have a sniffle here or there and don't have any digestive distress, try the HistoPlex-AB. You could try either one of these, and you could do both simultaneously.
If whomever you are watching me with right now has your gallbladder out, you might want to do AHF and GB Complete. So this is a big puzzle. And we have been fortunate in this office that we think. There's a blood test called the Opti-Cardio Plus or the Opti-Chem. If you are bilirubin, don't you wonder when they come up with these names, your bilirubin. If your bilirubin is elevated, what does that mean? Let's say its range goes from zero to 1.2. You have a gallbladder or liver issue if you're hanging in or about 0.9 or 0.8 or 1.0. The liver is the key, and I don't want to be redundant, but allergies are also digestive issues. Call us today at 440-471-4200 to order the products listed. - Blog is written by Dr. Bob DeMaria
