Comment on Any way to get rid of an allergy to animals with fur? by Queen of the Dust Mites

You need to better understand your allergy in order to live with your pets. Allergy is a chronic condition. That means it can be controlled but it cannot be cured. What is happening is that your body has a defect in the immune system where it does not properly identify benign (harmless) proteins. The Can d1 and Fel d1 proteins are both very similar (and also similar to ones produced by horses, rabbits, hamsters, etc). Your body sees this protein and thinks it is a germ. Your immune system has created a specific IgE (a type of human immunoglobulin) that works like a key in a lock. When you are exposed to that protein, the Ige gets your mast cells all excited and you start making histamines and leokotrienes. These are what cause your allergy symptoms. In order to stop the allergic reaction, you have to tackle that protein that is produced by the animal. These proteins are found in the saliva and urine. As the animals grooms itself or empties its bladder these bits of protein adhere to the skin and fur. Once dry, they can flake off and become airborne or they are shed when that piece of fur or skin is shed. Once it is off the animal, it floats in the air and you inhale it. Once you inhale it, the misidentification I described before takes place and you are sick.
So you must neutralize or denature that protein. To do this takes a couple of steps. First, you can apply a denaturing agent like Allerpet/C to the rodents once a week. This will help what is directly on the animal. You can place a good quality HEPA machine in the garage to help keep the air clean. If you bring them inside, all fiber surfaces they touch should be treated monthly with a denaturing agent like ADMS Spray. You can live with animals and animal allergy, it just takes an investment in time and money. I will load you up on links to learn more.

Comment on Cordless vacuum cleaners Douglas Vacuum & Allergy Relief Chicago.MP4 by papagena1

So which one should I get? We have three cats and a dog, and their fur collects in corners on the hardwood floors, and forms tumbleweeds under tables and chairs. My priority is being able to zip those up quickly from odd spaces without having to move furniture or do a lot of bending. I like the Dyson for the length of the wand and crevice tool – it seems like sucking up hairballs from between table legs would be easy. But are there other cheaper cordless vacs with long wands/crevice tools like

Zyrtec is best for sinus problems.

For me the only thing that works is taking generic claritin (loratidine) daily.

I use nasal sprays daily, the rx kind.

I use the sinus rinse daily.

Sudafed when things are bad, sudafed 12 hour if its really bad and add some aleve when its TERRIBLE.

If none of these work then go to your dr and see what he/she can do.

I have had allergy testing so I know what to avoid and what my triggers are.

I tried the immunotherapy shots for a year, they didnt work for me however, they are hit or miss for most people.

Good Luck!

You should do an elimination diet to see if there are any foods you are allergic to that may be causing your problems.

Likely suspects are milk, cheese, ice cream.
Wheat products that contain gluten.

Comment on How can I know if Singulair works for me? by Nichole R

Nichole R — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 17:29:14 +0000

Singulair is different from most maintenance meds in that it doesn’t affect the lungs directly but instead inhibits one of the more common causes of Asthma.
However, you might have a different trigger and thus not experiance a benefit from this medication.
If you find that there is no change in the frequency of using your rescue meds you might want to go back to your physician and get re-evaluated for your asthma triggers.

Singulair is one of those medications that if nothing happens, then its working.

It is a preventive medication. You should notice less asthma attacks or allergy attacks.

I encourage all my asthma patients to keep a diary of asthma attacks so they can better understand their triggers. They will notice periods of time when they have less symptoms. I also have them keep peak flow readings everyday.

Comment on will i pass meps if i tell them i’m taking zyrtec-D for allergy relief? by Jacob

Jacob — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 17:56:10 +0000

since zyrtec is not a controlled substance, you’ll be fine. you might have to suck it up through basic until you get to sick call and can get another allergy med from the docs there. that’s it.

Instead of a robot, all they need is a gadget like a smartphone to give them that information. It would seems to me that the technology that would help them most wouldn’t be a pollen count detector but rather a hefty chainsaw.

Comment on For allergy relief, is an air purifier a good choice? If so what are important factors to consider, choosing? by Jim S

Jim S — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 17:39:16 +0000

Yes, an air purifier is a good idea. But, you need to do other things as well.

Eliminate the source of allergans. Some things are obvious, like pets. Also, assuming you’re allergic to dust (actually the droppings from dust mites) like many are, than you’ll want to get carpet out of your bedroom. Also, look into those special bags for pillows and mattresses. Be aware, the matress ones can make it sound like you’re sleeping on a waterproof bed.

Also, ventilate your house or whatever. unless you live right next to a highway, fresh air is a good thing.

As far as the air purifier goes, look at Consumer Reports or something similar for ratings. STAY AWAY from the Ionic Breeze! Those, and any purifier that works solely through ionization, are ineffective and emit ozone, which (when its not high up in the atmosphere filling the ozone layer) is a pollutant. The manufacturers of the Ionic Breeze had to change their design because fo the ozone, but they still are a complete sham.

Comment on for asthma what is best, air Purifier, Humidifier, vaporizer? by Dave

Dave — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 17:20:37 +0000

My suggestion would be an air purifier. There are some really good ones on the market. Your problem is with allergens not water vapor. If you feel the air is too dry than set up a humidifier also but the purifier is more important.
Make sure if you set up a humidifier you keep it clean. You can use tap water or distilled water or just about anything in them but the problem is that if you don’t clean it thoroughly every other day with a mild bleach solution it can grow bacteria. Run the unit with the bleach solution for a few minutes(in another room) so it’ll get into all the working parts.. Then run tap water through it to make sure you rinse out the bleach. If you let it go, humidifiers have a tendency to be a good breeding ground for bacteria and then you’re just spreading the bacteria all around the room.
And as I said it doesn’t make any difference whether you use tap water, distilled or even sterile water because the humidifier is drawing in bacteria from the air around it.
If your worried about your hydration it’s much better to do it internally, drinking water, juices etc. I can’t overemphasize the importance of an asthmatic staying well hydrated. If you are dehydrated and get an attack you’re already starting off with one strike against you. If you are well hydrated you lessen the severity of the thickness of the mucous and airway blockage by the same. This is just one thing you can do for yourself that’s easy and helps you live with your condition.
God bless.

I dont depend on vaporizer or purifier,. just a correct temperature in your room to help you breath, lots a water and a caress from mom or granny help me to breath naturally.

I agree that you might benefit from holistic or herbal remedies. Meanwhile, you could try hot steamy drinks: That gave me a huge ammount of relief the last time I was sick.

Good luck!

A few things……..
Grape seed extract is a natural antihistamine, might want to ask Dr. I have some info on it if you want to email me.
Rid your home of all cleaners, bleaches, ammonias, air fresheners, etc. They are awful for your immune system.
Use a Saline solution up your nose.
Take a good vitamin. Not one that goes thru your system whole and then comes out, but one that is absorbed by your body.
