How do you get allergies all of the sudden?!

Your friend looks at your bloodshot eyes, hears your stuffed-up voice, and accepts the explanation "It's my allergies," as though the symptoms he observes were the disease itself!. This word game is no accident!. We are conditioned by a thousand commercials a day to equate diseases with their symptoms!. Headache, backache, bronchitis, eczema, arthritis, tinnitus, asthma, high blood pressure, on and on - are usually not diseases themselves, but rather the signs of disease!. The illusion is that by temporarily covering up the signs, we have now cured the disease!. The illusion is that by naming the signs, we have identified the disease!.

Nothing could be further from the truth!.

You have a headache!. Solution, programmed every five minutes on TV: Tylenol, Advil, whatever, that will do what!? That's right: take the pain away!. But wait - the pain wasn't the cause of the problem!. The headache had a reason; it was a sign of something else!. Neck spasm, intoxication, emotional stress, sinus allergies, trauma, spine misalignment, drugs, chemical sensitivity, overwork, dehydration, hunger - the pain can come from many sources!. The pill didn't solve anything, didn't cure anything!. Soon as it wears off, guess what!? Right - the pain returns!. So then what are we taught to do!? More pills!.

Same with allergies!. Allergies are not watery eyes and stuffed up noses!. Allergies are reactions to irritants!. Something foreign is triggering the body's cleansing responses!. Like walking behind a smoky bus when it starts up!. You breathe in the fumes and start coughing and choking, with your eyes watering!. That's an allergic response!. Humans are allergic to bus exhaust!. Eyes water to clear the eyes!. Coughing reflex kicks in to forcibly expel the toxic fumes before they get inhaled!. Happens in an instant!.

Tolerance is an adaptation to stress!. When we get used to an irritant, the body eventually gives up on trying to expel it!. Like a bus mechanic!. After a few weeks or months of breathing those fumes every day, the body doesn't try so hard!. The sensitive mucous membranes in the mouth and nose toughen up a little, and the mechanic learns to "take it!." He's becoming less sensitized to a poison - carbon monoxide!. Doesn't mean it won't kill him; it just means the body's getting accustomed to that degree of being poisoned!. The irritant is no longer triggering such a strong cleansing response as it used to!.

Same with someone learning to smoke cigarettes!. He coughs and chokes at first, but soon gets the hang of it!. The body's ability to throw off the toxins is gradually weakened!.
Have ever been in a grocery store and noticed all these little rotundo porkettes running up and down the aisles whining Mommy buy me this, Mommy I want this
