Millions of people in North America suffer terribly from a variety of different allergies and sinus related problems. For some, it’s just the early spring pollen or stubborn late summer hay fever that messes you up for a few months. For others, it’s a constant year round battle of sneezing, blowing your nose and itching your eyes from the moment you wake up in the morning until the time you go to bed at night.
When it comes to the subject of allergies and sinus problems few have suffered with them at the level I used to. I have struggled with allergies for most of my life. I spent years trying various different herbs and diets to minimize or eliminate my allergies with different degrees of success. However, I was never able to get to a point where I had them knocked out almost entirely. The best herb that used to clear me up when they got really bad and I knew I needed to take something was Ma Huang (ephedra). I wouldn’t rely on it all the time but those days when I just couldn’t seem to function I would take some and within an hour or so I would be completely clear and remain clear for most of the day. Sadly, Big Pharma cooked up all kinds of ridiculous claims about ephedra and how dangerous it was supposed to be and they got the FDA to take it off the market because it was competing with their drugs. There was a lot more money to be made selling over-the-counter allergy drugs and nasal sprays.
When my stash of Ma Huang ran out a few years ago I resorted to trying a few over-the-counter allergy products on a very limited “crisis only” basis. That crisis was generally when I couldn’t stop sneezing and my eyes were watering, itching and burning so bad that I couldn’t work or function. The results were less than satisfactory compared to Ma Huang with one big side effect - they made my allergies worse when they wore off.
One day, as I was having a particularly bad allergy day, I couldn’t stand the symptoms anymore and decided that in addition to taking an over-the-counter allergy pill, I would also try one of the leading brands of nasal sprays that stated right on the label that it was for severe allergies and sinus problems. A few pumps up each nostril and within minutes I was cleared up. It almost seemed too good to be true. I could breathe completely clear from both nostrils, my nose stopped running and my eyes cleared up.
Then the after effect kicked in. As soon as it wore off my nose was plugged again, except it was so plugged I couldn’t even inhale from either nostril. I knew I needed to find a better answer, especially one that was 100% natural.
The first person I phoned was Chris Barr. I asked him if he knew of anything that could help me. He said, “Oh sure, Dr. Christopher’s Sinus Plus.” He went on to explain how he’d been recommending it for years with great success. In the course of our conversation I told Chris to send me a few bottles. When the product came in I took some immediately and felt nothing. I was expecting to see immediate results like I used to experience with Ma Huang or what you would expect from something that’s over-the-counter. Instead, I was disappointed. I continued to take some here and there and then in frustration felt the product didn’t work so I stopped taking it.
Then I came across some great new information about a natural flavonoid found in plants called Quercetin. Quercetin has a natural anti-inflammatory effect and acts as an antihistamine. I had tried Quercetin years before with no appreciable results even though many people were touting it as a great supplement that was helping people with allergies. What I have since learned is that “source” makes all the difference in the world. Most Quercetin on the shelves of health food stores is in an isolated synthetic form. That’s why it won’t work properly and have the antihistamine effect that it should. Since we were selling many of the Innate Response whole food nutrients I knew that if Quercetin was going to be effective then the Innate Response brand would be the one that would work because it is derived from a 100% whole food grown source that contains all of the nutrients and co-factors the body needs to utilize it effectively.
I started taking the Quercetin and the results were not extremely noticeable at first but the allergy symptoms did abate somewhat. The problem was I wasn’t taking enough of it and I wasn’t taking the Sinus Plus in conjunction with it either. I kept looking for that one natural thing that would do it all and if it didn’t work I would give up and move on to the next product.
During a phone conversation regarding some other business matters Chris asked me how the Sinus Plus was working for me. Much to his surprise I told him that it didn’t seem to do that much for me and that I wasn’t taking it. He was startled. He said that he never came across anyone that did not get relief from it and proceeded to ask me if I was taking it the way he said people with severe allergies needed to, which was 3 capsules 3 times a day. I told him no. I was also not using it every day, and at that point wasn’t using it at all.
After that phone call I decided that I was going to faithfully take the Sinus Plus the way Chris Barr recommended every day without missing a dosage to see what would happen. I also decided to take 3 Innate Response whole food grown Quercetin tablets along with the Sinus Plus. After just a few days I noticing that I wasn’t sneezing as much, my nose was staring to clear and I felt a whole lot better. After about a week or so my allergies were about 80-85% better. For me, living most of my life with on and off problems, I was elated. The improvements were remarkable and I now take this regimen every day, except I only need it once a day.
After following this routine with these two products for about four months our company introduced a new line of over 150 herbs. One of the products we brought in is called CONGEST-EEZE and it comes in a liquid filled capsule. This product consists of a blend of herbs designed to help break up and control mucous and congestion. I decided to try some in addition to the regular daily routine of the Sinus Plus and Quercetin to see if it would help me even more. Much to my surprise by incorporating the CONGEST-EEZE my allergy symptoms have been almost 100% eliminated. I know there are a lot of natural products on the market that are touted to work and many of them may help those who don’t have severe allergies to some extent. All I can say is that nothing really worked that well for me before until I incorporated all three of these products in combination. Since I have tried so many different products and ways to get rid of my allergies over the years I wouldn’t substitute anything else.
There seems to be a real synergy with these three products that I believe would help anyone eliminate their allergies and sinus problems. Dr. Christopher’s Sinus Plus helps the body deal with various substances in our environment that cause allergies. The combination of herbs it contains help to harmonize the immune system so your body doesn’t react to every allergen it comes in contact with. The Quercetin works as an antihistamine and helps to control the sneezing, coughing, runny nose and allergic responses. The CONGEST-EEZE helps to clear out the mucous which is usually prevalent in sinus and allergy sufferers, especially when chronic. These products have a triple action effect that should clear most allergies and sinus problems within a week or less. And the best part of all is that they are completely safe and will not cause damage to your liver or other internal organs. You will also not experience any tiredness or jitteriness.
I had to get rid of the mentality of something working instantly. True allergy relief that has lasting results takes a little time to kick in. That’s where the frustration comes in and that’s why most people resort to drugs. If you suffer from allergies and sinus problems and can’t function with the symptoms, you may want to begin a routine like what worked for me.
Over-the-counter allergy medicine is dangerous and was never designed for long term use. Allergy nasal sprays can be very damaging to your sinuses and are highly addictive. They may work temporarily but the after-effect when it wears off is worse than what the symptoms were before using the spray.
If you want to take a natural approach to battling your allergies and sinus problems and you don’t want to take over-the-counter medication, I highly recommend that you give this combination a try. I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed.
