question for the group/immune system/allergies?

[Guest guest]

I too have had a better immune system since being veg, no more strep ,

bronchitis, or sinus infections. My nasal allergies are still terrible

though which may be unrelated to being veg, just moving to a diff part

of the country. I had hoped that allergies would go away when giving

up animal products (cutting down on inflammation responses, etc) I

will admit to occasionally having dairy and that makes me congested

immedietely. Anyone have luck with nasal allergies going away or do

you still have them despite being veg/vegan?

Melissa,

 

I posted a recipe awhile back for allergies. Toast some bread (unless

you are allergic to it use spelt or something else). Make up a paste

of ghee, honey and about a tsp. each of ginger powder and black

papper. Spread on toast and enjoy fresh air. It is hard to say more

because I have no idea where you live, what you eat, yours stresses, etc.

Melissa - I have had life long allergies - always extremely

congested,etc. When I gave up dairy they disappeared. This has

been the case for both my daughter and me. I went from 3-4 daily

prescriptions to none. I do still have the spring hayfever (from

which I have been suffering the past few weeks...), but it's

definitely season related.

 

Knock on wood, we haven't been sick in I don't know how long. Not

even colds - even my kids - they'll seem to have a hint of a cold

and then it goes right away.
