Ask the doctor.(treatment of hay fever or pollen allergies)
I suffer from hay fever or pollen allergies. Is there anything I can take or do that will help me?
--Mary S., Rome, New York
Allergies are a function of an overresponsive immune system. So, to alleviate your allergies, you have to calm your immune system down.
All inhalant-type allergies actually have their cause in food allergies. Many times, when I tell patients this, they shake their heads and say, "I don't have food allergies." But in reality they do--they've just learned to live with them.
That's why I recommend flint you go on an elimination diet as follows:
* Avoid eating chicken, turkey, lamb, halibut and mackerel.
* Use milk substitutes such as rice milk--but avoid soymilk.
