Hay Fever , Allergies, and Sinus Problems

   Most of us are familiar with the symptoms of hay fever , sinus problems and respiratory allergies, whether they are seasonal or year round. Thick mucous, constant post nasal drip, burning, itching eyes, sore throat, phlegm, ear aches, headache, frequent colds, etc. indicate an immune system that is making us miserable. Children especially may suffer. There is a much better answer than drugs, which don’t address the underlying problem and cause serious long term side effects. They don’t even work as well as our natural approach.

   Over the years we have evolved an extremely effective program for hay fever and respiratory allergies. It is extremely rare to see a patient that we can’t help with these problems, even very bad cases. Almost all of our patients are enabled to get off medication. The pollen and other airborne plant things stop causing reactions! We approach the problem from several angles. Our treatment consists of very gentle manipulation of the areas around the face ,in order to increase circulation and relieve congestion to the sinuses. We stimulate acupressure points to reduce inflammation in the sinuses. We usually need to reduce accumulated tension in the neck muscles, as nerves coming from the neck can be irritated causing a reflex swelling in the sinuses. Often, digestion is not good , even in children, and this needs to be corrected. Liver function needs to be optimized. We can even eliminate allergy to animals in most  kids and adults, without shots.

   Some dietary factors are usually important. Many people with hay fever are sensitive to dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, etc.) and/or wheat products (bread, cereal, pasta, cake, cookies, etc). A trial period of elimination of these foods may help greatly. Dairy and wheat substitute products are available in a wide assortment at health food stores. Cold foods are best avoided, especially cold drinks. Eat food and drink at room temperature or hot. If you do eat dairy, eat it earlier in  the day; it is much harder to digest after 5:00 in the evening. ( Thus, cold milk at bedtime is very mucous forming!) Drink plenty of warm and hot water throughout the day.

   Sugar in all forms (soda, sweets, candy, cookies, cake, etc. )and coffee in more than small amounts overburden the adrenal glands, the glands that combat stress. Don’t you already have enough stress? If you are eating a lot of these, it often aggravates mucous production. Most people who reduce these for 4-6 weeks feel much better. Alcohol in more than small amounts over burdens the liver, whose job it is to break down allergic substances ( such as pollen, dust, molds, etc). Therefore, you react to them strongly.

   Ear infections in babies and kids are especially troubling. Recent medical studies show that antibiotics often give no real help in the long run, and may be harmful. This program almost always gets rid of them!

   We have used over a hundred nutritional supplements over the years for hay fever. The following are the best we have found. In the right combination, they are almost always more effective than medication, with none of the dangers and side effects. (You don't have to take all of them, usually only two or three.)

Testimonials (the names have been changed but the testimonials are all on file at my office for you to see.)

Eczema, allergies,  asthma, bronchitis

“On behalf of our sons Jameson (6) and Jacob (8 months), we thank you for all you’ve done to bring them health.  Jameson come to you with severe excema, allergies and breathing problems.  He  now plays soccer, rolls in the grass and rides his bike with full energy, just like any healthy six year old boy would.  

   We brought Jacob to you at three months of age with bronchitis.  Your treatments not only stopped the bronchitis, but have helped to boost his immune system.  He is a strong, thriving baby boy.  

   Thank you for your reassuring, gentle manner with our sons.  We appreciate all you’ve done for them and for us !      ---The Faylor Family

Sinus Problems
"You haven't helped me improve my handwriting, yet, but you've helped correct so many of my other deficiencies!  Thanks, from the bottom of my sinuses!
---Karen Vatters

Ear Infections                  For 13 months I had suffered from chronic ear infections.  Since seeing Dr. Kaufman I have had no ear infections.  I am also less irritable and I sleep better.           ---Cameron Hensley, age 1 1/2  

 Ear Infection       "Yesterday, 9:00 AM--I was 95% certain I would have to take antibiotics.  My ear was aching so intensely, it was sensitive to the touch.   Today, 9:00 AM--It is gone.  The pain, pressure…Dr. Kaufman saved me from 10 days of antibiotics, along with all of their dulling and damaging side-effects.  I am really amazed.        Why get sick?    When you've got Dr. Kaufman to fix you up."                                    ----Swami Das

Eye and Ear Infections, Elbow Pain , Low Back Pain                          1/23/99                                                "Thank you for your care over the last few years.  As you know, I first came to you after suffering repeated eye and ear infections over a period of about three years.  I'd the usual antibiotic treatments, which helped clear up each episode but seemed to do nothing at all to prevent reoccurrence.  Your treatment, a combination rubbing surrounding areas and regular nutritional supplements, has eliminated the problem.  I've been free of either type of infection for about a year. "   ---Simon Mithan

 Migraine headaches, chemical sensitivities, allergies, chronic fatigue

“I had a lot of discomfort in my back upon rising in the morning and off and on during the day.  I have had this for about 11 years (since hysterectomy).   Also problems with congestion and sensitivity to environmental things (acute allergies).  These symptoms I’ve had forever!                                                                                               I think manipulation and the addition of supplements has improved my back immensely.  Also the headaches and sensitivity to environmental things has improved greatly.  The headaches are fewer and less in intensity.  My sleep is much better and I think NADH has increased my energy level, especially in the afternoons.”                 ---JoAnn Prana

  "My Merry Christmas thoughts to you are a great big "Thank you" for helping to improve my allergies and diminish pain and discomfort in my back.  I've had a major health improvement since I've been under your care!"
---Kaelin Stangle
