With Allergy Season Upon Us, VitaMillion is Now Offering Aller-Ease by Buried Treasure

March 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Allergy is the result of the immune system's over-reaction to pollens, grass, airborne fungi, certain foods and cosmetics. Unfortunately, allergies are often misunderstood and inadequately treated by conventional medicine.

Seasonal allergy triggers are those that affect you mostly when specific plants and trees release pollen into the air.  Some of these are weeds, trees, grasses and outdoor mold spores.  Year-round allergy triggers are those that can affect you throughout the year, such as animal dander, dust mites, indoor mold spores and cockroaches.  Some people suffer from both seasonal and year-round allergies.

When an allergen is introduced, the body fights back by producing an excess of inflammatory chemicals, such as histamine.  This attempt to seek-and-destroy the allergen brings on the familiar symptoms of runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing.

One of the mechanisms involved in an allergic response is the release of leukotrienes, an agent which can restrict bronchial tubes up to 1,000 times greater than can histamine. The production of leukotrienes is made possible by the presence of arachidonic acid, a fatty acid found exclusively in animal products. Therefore, during serious bouts with allergies, persons would benefit from an all vegan diet, or at least reduce the consumption of animal products.

There's still another good reason to forego the meat in favor of the salad - flavonoids. Flavonoids (sometimes called bioflavonoids) are a group of compounds that give many fruits and vegetables their color.

Antihistamines, commonly prescribed for allergies suppress the appearance of physical symptoms but do nothing to redirect the underlying cause.  Antihistamines also often produce undesirable side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness and even depression. The good news is that there is a better way to treat inflammatory disorders.  

Buried Treasure’s Aller-Ease available at http://www.VitaMillion.com is designed to provide fast relief from common allergens.  Listed below are some of the natural ingredients in Aller-Ease that have been traditionally considered effective in responding to allergy symptoms.

NETTLE (Urtica dioica) is a traditional herb known to significantly reduce mucous and help relieve nasal congestion.1
 
QUERCETIN is a bioflavonoid widely distributed in fruits and vegetables. It effectively inhibits the over-production of histamine and helps with inflammation by inhibiting the release of lukotriene and histamine from mast cells.  2

MSM helps to soften the cell's walls, allowing allergens, foreign proteins, and free-radicals to be moved out of body. 3

BROMELAIN helps increase the absorption of Quercetin; is a powerful anti-inflammatory enzyme and is very effective in treating inflammation of the delicate sinus tissues. 4
L-Histidine is an essential amino acid that supports normal histamine production.5   It cannot be formed by other nutrients, and must be in the diet to be available to the body.
NAC (N-acetylcysteine) is an amino-like substance produced within the human body that helps clear mucous and protect tissue. 6
Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis) taken orally, has been used to treat inflammation of nasal mucous membranes and sinusitis.

MULLEIN (verbascum thapsus) helps reduce inflammation, and fight disease-causing microbes, soothes sore throat and relieves coughs.

ZINC is necessary for the proper functioning of the immune system and helps to protect the body against infections.  

VITAMIN C plays an important role in fighting infections. It is the main antioxidant in the cells of the respiratory passages, and may have anti-inflammatory and antihistamine effects. 7

VITAMIN B-12 is a necessary nutrient for the utilization of histidine within the
body. It helps balance the body's production of histamine.
