I only go to the doctor if its something worth calling an ambulance over. 99% of the rest can be achieved through the most basic amount of healthy living and home remedies.
It amazes me that people will be suspicious of their mechanic trying to screw them over but never worry once about doctors.
Yep, I haven't been to the doctor in many many years. I began doing my own research on things when I have some sort of ailment. In most cases, simply changing nutrition, exercise, and certain herbs can remedy many problems. Mainstream medicine tends to throw quick fix chemicals at people which come with many side effects. Not to mention, following government recommendations on food and health is a good way to shorten your life span.
I also find it funny how many people refuse to consider the role processed foods play. Many of those additives, chemicals and processes have been specifically linked to inflammation resulting in various joint, muscle, stomach, etc.. ailments, not to mention cancers and other parasitical ailments.
whats the cure for allergies
Depends on what is causing them. For instance, it could be weather related (pressure changes in systems can cause various inflammations in ones sinus), also a lot of food additives are the culprit of allergies as well. Then there is the standard problems of simple mold, pollens, etc.
Numerous changes may be needed to adapt . For instance, ingestion is a way to build tolerance to some things that cause basic irritation (careful, this doesn't mean go start eating everything that makes you get allergies, some can't be adapted to by simple straight ingestion and may be poisonous in their raw form). Honey is a good one from your local hives (they collect pollen from numerous sources and this gets into the honey, which taking a spoonful each day will help the body to slowly build up an immunity to a given allergy you may have).
Food allergies are a big one for many. Stop eating processed foods, go to a bland diet of limited selections. See how that works, then slowly add foods back in to see what is causing you the issue, adjust as needed. Inflammation is the largest form of irritate and this causes joints to swell, sinus, lungs, stomach, etc... This inflammation if left unchecked can lead to more serious ailments.
As for a direct solution for most? Well, you can treat the symptom itself by removing the irritants. Nettie pot flushes regularly are a great way to keep your sinus clean of these irritants and since it reduces the toxins in your cavity, your body can more easily fight them off and may eventually be able to build up an immunity rather being overburdened with the reacting through swelling, draining, etc.. which then leads to other areas of your body becoming infected (ie my chest issue was caused by excessive draining from my sinus into my throat and eventually it moved into my lungs, causing infection).
If you use a Nettie pot though, be careful. Don't use water from the tap as it can contain organisms that can possibly kill you (rarely, but it is always a risk as these organisms can be broken down in the stomach, but your sinus does not have this protection), not to mention city water is very bad due to how they treat it. Always remember that your sinus is right up there near your brain, so you want to be careful in what you take in. The common application is to use clean warm water (distilled is fine, and some sources that have extensive bacterial removal to with some bottled water) and then apply a small amount of salt (clean straight sea salt, no caking agents, to balance its PH so you don't have that water burn you normally get from getting water up your nose). As an added dis-infection layer, apple cider vinegar can be used, a very small amount (often a few drops is fine in your Nettie with the rest), it won't harm you, but the more you put in, the more it will burn). Also, if you are severely infected, it may burn right off, don't freak out, it just means you have a lot of inflammation there. I can tell how I am doing with inflammation based on that burn. If it is mild to none, my sinuses are in good shape, if it is really harsh, I know I need to increase my flushes each day until I normalize. Note: too much ACV and too often can also be an irritate (causing a raw feeling), so don't over do it either.
By the way, apple cider vinegar has been a natural treatment to sinus issues throughout history (its a natural anti-biotic), some even simply sniff a tad into their nose like "snuff" as a treatment. This also works well if you have inflammation in your throat and stomach. Taking for instance, some hot clean water and mixing in some local honey and some apple cider vinegar and then drinking it will help sooth a throat infection and will reduce inflammation allowing your body to heal. Apple Cider Vinegar is amazing, I use it for numerous things (even works well as a fabric softener and great for getting rid of stubborn smells).
Lastly, there are various vitamins/herbs/teas you can take that build immunities and help with the issues. Just remember, you have to identify the cause though to ultimately "cure" the issue, otherwise you will just treat the symptoms (which for some may work, and is good enough for them as they aren't interested in all of the additional measures).
All of this can be researched. Do some looking into it and you will see exact amounts to use and what may work best for you.
I used to have really bad allergies, now I don't have much issue unless I fall behind on watching for the signs (pressure from system changes are where I usually get an issue and the Nettie treatments with a little ACV tend to do the trick). Your mileage may vary though, so you will have to pay attention to what is working for you and remember, consistency is the trick. Don't expect one treatment to some how cure all or for it to make you clear immediately. Right after your first ACV Nettie, it will likely burn, feel swollen, you will start draining like crazy and some people think this is worse... its just the solution working to attack the inflammation (much like putting a disinfectant feels when you put it on an infected wound), it will get better. Again though, don't take my word for it, research it.
