Ragweed season is around the corner and for those of you who suffer with ragweed allergies, you are dreading this time of year. Fortunately, nature provides some great effective solutions for allergy sufferers.
Vitamin C is a natural anti-histamine. Be sure to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables that contain Vitamin C in the summer months. Taking a whole food multivitamin high in anti-oxidants may also help with allergy symptoms, as well as a high quality, pure fish oil like VitaFish Oil. Fish oil is a natural anti-inflammatory and slows down the allergic response.
You should also consider a detox at this time of year. Built up toxicity is a cause for allergic reactions as well.

Leaky gut syndrome describes the formation of small openings in the intestinal wall that allow undigested food particles to pass through the openings and into the bloodstream. One of the most common culprits for this condition is Helicobacter pylori. These bacteria cause stomach ulcers and bore into tissues. Once in the bloodstream, the food particles act as foreign invaders or toxins to the immune system. Leaky gut syndrome can lead to any of the following symptoms; headaches, IBS, gas, bloating, Crohn’s disease, colitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, urinary tract infections, herpes, yeast infections, allergies, asthma, sinusitis, ear infections, arthritis and cancer.
Thankfully, nature has provided natural solutions for healing a leaky gut. This includes human probiotics and gentle detoxification. See VitaTree Probiotics and VitaDetox for more information at www.vitatree.ca.

Probiotics are a buzzword these days in the news and on television programs. Probiotics are good bacteria that naturally inhabit the gut. They are essential to our being and over 400 different species of probiotics live within our digestive tracts. Probiotics can be found in yogurt and in probiotic supplements. What most people do not realize is that the probiotics found in most yogurts and supplements are not humanly derived microflora. Often these bacteria are from soil organisms and cow bacteria. It really only makes sense to colonize a human digestive tract with human microflora. Probiotics are helpful if you suffer from chronic sinus infections, yeast infections, candida and allergies.

Chronic sinus infections are usually caused by a fungal problem, not necessarily a bacterial issue. The way this problem starts is you have a cold or flu originally, and you do not heal completely from it, you are usually given anti-biotics to kill off any bacteria that are in the body. A few months later, you are sick again, this time with a sinus infection. You are given anti-biotics again, it is seeming cleared in a couple weeks, and then a few months down the road, another sinus infection, you are given another anti-biotic and so on and so on and so on…… Sound familiar? Unfortunately I have seen this scenario enough times in my practice as a naturopathic doctor to see a pattern. The original infection may be bacterial, but the anti-biotic given usually knocks off any of the good bacteria in the body that would prevent the fungal issue from causing the resultant sinus infections. The subsequent anti-biotics only propagate the fungal infections and this is why these sinus infections will never go away! Thankfully there are natural solutions. Probiotics are step one! You need to re-colonize the system with high quality human microflora to improve the immune function as well. See vitatree.ca and click on Probiotics for more information. Step two is of course staying away from the generic anti-biotics. Step three, use saline nasal mist daily to cleanse the sinuses locally.

Try a saline nasal spray. Yes, a generic, non-drug containing saline nasal spray is an easy way to flush out the sinuses and eliminate pollens in the nasal passages.

Also, detoxification is the key to long-term success and relief from allergies, as well as high quality human probiotics.

Allergy season is upon us. Spring pollens have sprung about 3 weeks earlier this season and many of us are suffering already. What is the natural solution? Detoxification and Probiotics! Detoxification of the major internal organs is necessary to alleviate the toxic load on the body and to allow the immune system to not over-react to common allergens such as pollens and grasses. Probiotics are essential to moderate the immune system, 80% of which is in the digestive tract. Probiotics are good bacteria that should naturally inhabit our digestive system. Unfortunately, most of us lack enough of these good bacteria, especially if we are stressed or have taken anti-biotics or synthetic hormones. Three natural tips for allergy sufferers are:
1. Eat whole foods, exercise and drink plenty of good quality water from a glass container.
2. Detoxify at allergy season, especially spring and fall. See VitaDetox at www.vitatree.ca
3. Take Probiotics everyday, even when it’s not allergy season. This will ensure a healthy immune system and decrease allergy symptoms. VitaTree Probiotics, Canada’s only human strain probiotic without synthetic fillers!
