 Natural Supplements for Allergies
Many of our patients report concerns of unwanted side-effects from allergy medications. If you, like them, want to treat the source of allergy symptoms, we have some exciting treatments. Instead of reaching for some of those over-the-counter medications, there are some safe and effective natural alternatives.
Nazanol is a combination of Chinese herbs that help to get rid of a runny nose and sinus congestion
Perimine works for congestion and respiratory distress. Studies show that when taken regularly, Perimine actually reduces the antibody response to environmental triggers and gives daily support to your immune system. Prescription and over the counter medications only reduce histamines.
ALJ supports healthy lung and respiratory function.
Nutriwest offers Total Systemic D-tox and Total Liver D-tox to help balance your entire immune system including your liver, skin, kidneys, blood and colon. They can also help with food allergies and sensitivities.
Just mention any of the products to us, and we can test you during your next appointment to see what natural allergy supplements we recommend specifically for you.

A/SERT (Allergy and Sensitivity Elimination and Reprogramming Technique)
 A/SERT is a treatment protocol combining wisdom from chiropractic, acupuncture & kinesiology disciplines. The treatment was developed by Dr. John Brimhall, and is based on NAET (Nambudripades Allergy Elimination Technique).
An allergic reaction occurs when something is digested, inhaled or directly contacted. An allergy or sensitivity is an inappropriate immune response to something in our environment that normally wouldn't cause unpleasant symptoms. With repeated exposure over a lifetime, the allergic response can become more and more severe, sometimes without previous warning.
The goal of A/SERT is to reprogram the body's response to common triggers such as soy, wheat, dairy or even chemicals in the air we breathe so that future exposure will produce a completely different bodily response.
A/SERT reprograms the brain and nervous system on a cellular level through a series of 10-23 visits. Our patients who have undergone this type of treatment report a reduction in seasonal allergy symptoms, ability to reintroduce foods that they couldn't previously eat, fewer colds and infections and a disappearance of rashes and outbreaks.
Are allergy symptoms disrupting your day? You might be surprised at the signs of an allergic response:
- fatigue
- inability to concentrate
- difficulty sleeping
- respiratory distress
- skin rashes or eruptions
- itchy, watery eyes
- dry eyes
- runny nose or congestion
- heavy chested
- upset stomach
- diarrhea or constipation
If you are experiencing any of the following, schedule a consult with Dr. Allen to discuss treatment options.

Got Sniffles? Acupuncture Can Help
According to Chinese medicine, the symptoms of allergies are signs of imbalances in the body. Theses imbalances may be due to stress, poor diet, constitutional weakness, pollutants or environmental toxins.
If imbalances remain over time, they will affect the function of certain organ systems. Some of these organ systems are involved in creating and maintaining wei qi (pronounced "way chee").
The concept of wei qi is comparable to the immune system in Western medicine. Wei qi protects and defends the body against foreign substances that can lead to allergies. When Wei qi is strong and abundant, we remain healthy. When Wei qi is low, we become targets for external invasion from dust. mold, bacteria, virus and pollen.
It is important to have the correct amount of strong Wei qi circulating throughout the body in order to stay healthy at all times.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs support and strengthen the systems of the body that are involved in the production of Wei qi. By building the supply of Wei qi and making sure it is moving throughout the body, the symptoms of allergies can be greatly reduced or eliminated completely.
The goal of the acupuncture treatment, which may be combined with herbs, dietary changes, tuina (massage) or exercise, is to eliminate visible symptoms while addressing the root causes and underlying imbalances.
Acupuncture is a drug-free, safe, natural and effective way to address allergies, hay fever, and the common cold.

Gluten Sensitivity
About 2 million people suffer from Celiac Disease or Gluten sensitivity and experience symptoms such as: weight loss, constipation, diarrhea, bone pain, abdominal bloating and gas, rashes, and vitamin deficiencies from lack of proper nutrient absorption.
If you are experiencing some of the symptoms above, there is an easy way to determine if you are sensitive to gluten.
We routinely recommend the medical food from Metagenics called Ultra Inflam-X in combination with a food elimination diet for 30 days.
The medical food helps reduce inflammatory response and elimination gives the body time to detoxify and heal.
After the 30 days, food is slowly reintroduced into the diet while closely monitoring symptoms. This helps us learn what foods or food combinations are responsible for allergy symptoms so the can be avoided in the future or desensitized further using a combination of techniques offered at One Life Chiropractic. |
