Allergies-A Common Disease Often Untreated

Spring time has arrived!  I really enjoy this time of year, but not all the allergy and sinus problems that come with it that affect many people. Before I get into my recommended remedy I want to clarify what allergies are and the common treatments.

Allergies are one of the most common and overlooked diseases in our country.  It's estimated that 1 out of every 5 people suffer from them.  It is actually a disease of the immune system that causes our body to overreact from allergens in the atmosphere.  A majority of people suffer from indoor and outdoor allergies.  This includes dust, mold, hay fever, pet dander, and pollen.  These enter the body mostly through the nose and lungs.

The most common treatments are the over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants.  The antihistamines relieve the skin reactions as well as the sneezing, itching, and runny nose.  The decongestants relieve the stuffiness.  When you have allergies the membranes in the nose become swollen and decongestants shrink the membranes.

This disease is so common most people don't take it seriously.  They avoid medications or treatment because "It's just my allergies."  By not seeking treatment people then develop complications of sinus and ear infections, then they end up on antibiotics. 

If you suffer from allergies I have some good news that won't send you to the drugstore or doctor's office.  I have had allergies since childhood.  They tend to flare up in the seasons of Fall and Spring.  I use to take over-the-counter treatments such and Tylenol Allergy Day/Night capsules, Benedryl, and Sinuses Headache pills.  Sure they helped, but I suffered side effects of energy increase with nervousness or energy decrease to the point where I needed to take a nap.  Then I started taking the multivitamin Vitaone from my home business company Vitamark International.  When I started using Vitaone I had been suffering from a severe sinus infection for about a week and hadn't been to the doctor yet.  After taking Vitaone for 3 days ALL my symptoms were gone!!  I could breathe through my nose again and the sinus headache was gone!  Not only that but I also had more energy though out the day without the jitters or nervousness.  I highly recommend this product to anyone who suffers from allergies.
