But here now is another part of the problem you may face. Many people are treated with antihistamines or steroids. These are often the first drugs to be prescribed. And for many this (in part) will be the foundation of their ongoing treatment. What does this do?



They shut DOWN the protective measures of the body that keep you aware and safe. Keep in mind that although you may have a problem (symptom) in your nose that you want to get rid of with the antihistamine, the same chemical shuts down your entire body protection to a certain extent. Think about it. Is that really what you want to do? Would it not make sense to search for the cause that has set off this automatic body reaction to an intruder?



Now that you understand this a little more, will you be as quick to take an antihistamine or steroid product? You can learn more about the actual action of the proposed drug and its side effects. My favorite site is http://www.rxlist.com

(I would bookmark it.)



Would you be inclined to look a little more deeply for an underlying cause? I want to encourage you to read or reread an article on your body’s immune system: how it works and what keeps it healthy, or what you can do to restore its health.

This is doable. In a very simplistic way, all you really need to do is to care (feed and water) your body to keep it healthy. This also keeps intruders out. We complicate all of these basis needs unnecessarily, by our lifestyle requirements. Take some action. If you are serious about regaining or restoring your body’s health, get yourself a copy of Lyle MacWilliam’s Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements ed. 4. This is helpful, trustworthy scientific information. But it is not about drugs. It researches over 1500 different nutritional supplements and their background. Your library should have a copy. http://www.comparativeguide.com Our bodies need a lot of specific elements in balance to function. These are all listed and explained.



Recognize that most drugs don’t heal. It is not their purpose. They treat the symptoms you don’t want to experience or put up with. The only way you can heal your body is through really good nutrients. This in turn this heals your protective mechanisms that are all part of your immune system. This can be done all day, every day. It’s what your body draws on, all day automatically. Your body is all about maintaining health and balance. Nothing less, but it needs you to supply the appropriate ingredients.
