    rinqreation Less or no dairy products indeed help ease down allergies (organic or not), so stop drinking cow milk. Less or best no sugar (especially the refined ones). Less or no wheat. Less meat and no porc. No sweetening additives. No light products. No chemicals, no synthetic cosmetics. And the list could go on.

    We stress our bodies with all kinds of toxins, it's fighting constantly to keep up healthy, but we keep poisining it. Reducing toxins in our food and care products makes us coop better with the toxins in our environment. When you can't stand fragrances for example, it's because your body tells you "you're full" already. Plus they are too fake indeed.

    I quit eating porc, don't drink cow milk, less hard candy and white sugar, buy organic shampoo and skincream and prefer spelt or teff bread over wheat. I don't use make-up, clean my house with ordinary dishwash soap and do whatever I can to avoid toxins (within my budget). Completely organic is too expensive for me and I believe some of the molds and bacterias (on organic fruit and vegetables) are just as bad for our bodies when we're not used to them. My skin condition and intestinal 'life' have improved a lot with simple adjustments.

    The point is to take in less toxins/allergens so our body has time to clean and heal itself. Some people are more sensitive than others, so it's all about finding your own balance.

    Timothy Carpet is a HUGE one. Carpet picks up and concentrates allergens like a water to sponge. Plus you are walking around knocking allergens into the air all the time. No carpet and no shoes will eliminate the majority of the allergens. Doesn't hurt to have and attic fan to vent the house air completely every few days then dust while it is on so anything knocked loose will get sucked out. The allergens will trap & concentrate in a house's air from cooking, skin shedding and outside. Hope I can help someone.
