Description

In 2021, over 81 million in the US were diagnosed with seasonal allergies.

Approximately 26% of adults and 19% of children.

The global Nasal Antihistamines Market was projected to total US$ 1.9 billion in 2021 (prnewswire.com)

In 2017, Claritin and Zyrtec sold almost $600 million in tablets.

The question I’m asking is why?

Environmental allergies develop when the body's immune system recognizes and overreacts to things like pollens, dust, animal dander or mold; things that typically don't cause a reaction in most people.

It’s spring when I recorded this - so many people were suffering from symptoms due to allergies. It’s affecting quality of life.

So, today we talk about some things you can do to get some quick relief from those symptoms. Some are simple new habits you can pick up to keep the allergens out of your home. Some are products that you may find helpful.

BUT we are also going to think about long term solutions. I share about my son’s journey with allergies, too. He used to have year-round allergy symptoms. But now he doesn’t.

After treating his body for Lyme disease, his allergies also went away.

Whether or not allergies can be healed is debated. But you’ll hear our story and how gut and immune system support made a WORLD of difference for our son.
