During the oak pollen season, the effects of the pollen are everywhere, with cars and windows covered with the orange-brown film the pollen creates. Even pavement where the spent pollen pods accumulate will get stained brown. For those allergic to oak pollen, the symptoms can be severe. Massive sinus drainage, watery eyes, sneezing, and/or coughing will develop that can defy almost any allergy treatment available, at least until the oak pollen subsides.
Oak allergies drive people to try any number of remedies, with some even turning to drastic measures like steroid injections. Some will decide to handle the situation once and for all by starting allergy shots, even though the needles are less than pleasant, without realizing that it often takes years to finally get results.
Many oak allergy sufferers will seek out natural relief from treatments like nutritional supplements, herbal remedies, homeopathy and/or acupuncture, and all of these forms of treatment will provide some degree of temporary relief for the majority of people. But what if there was a way to do more than just suppress allergy symptoms?
What if there was a way to actually get rid of oak allergies and other allergies long-term as with doing allergy shots, but in a way that gets results in days, not years, and doesn't require one to get jabbed with needles? Well, there actually is a way to do this, using "energy medicine" techniques.
The most widely-practiced of these natural allergy relief methods is NAET, which stands for Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique. Dr. Devi Nambudripad is a chiropractor and acupuncturist from California who accidentally discovered how stimulating specific acupuncture meridians while being exposed to the allergens one reacts to can reset the body so that it no longer reacts to those allergens.
Since the development of NAET in the 1980's, other similar techniques have been developed, and there are more streamlined allergy elimination methods now in use, but NAET remains the most widely practiced. To be sure, all of the energy based allergy elimination methods are a bit strange, and may seem a bit too good to be true, but in 8 years of practicing ASERT (Allergy and Sensitivity Elimination and Reprogramming Technique, one of the newer, more streamlined techniques based on the principles of NAET), I have seen great success with even the most chronic of allergy sufferers.
Because these techniques are so strange and because I practice in San Antonio, an area where a high percentage of the population is still extremely skeptical of alternative medicine, I do the allergy desensitization on people and let them experience the results before they pay me. I actually work on the "honor system" - I don't collect any money or payment information at all and let people try out the allergy elimination technique and then they pay me when they are satisfied that it worked for them. The vast majority send me checks or call me with a credit card number, which I thik is a dramatic testament to the effectiveness of this technique.
The great part about these techniques is that the results occur quickly. For seasonal problems like oak allergies, people may have severe symptoms for a month or two, and are looking for some type of natural allergy relief right away, not something that will take years to be effective like allergy shots, and not something that can have serious side-effects like steroids. With energy-based allergy elimination, relief usually occurs within a day and comes without the risk of any serious side-effects.
Better yet, the effects of energy-based allergy elimination last for several months to several years because these techniques actually get rid of the allergies, not just suppress allergy symptoms and inflammation. So, oak allergy sufferers can usually go through multiple oak seasons without any problems without ongoing treatment after going through the allergy desensitization.
Although NAET practitioners often claim that the effects of NAET are permanent, which they may be in some cases, it has been my experience that allergies can re-develop, particularly after somone is sick with a cold or flu, or suffers a major trauma during a high pollen season. It appears that the body may develop allergies in a "guilt by association" manner in which an activation of the body's immune system and inflammatory response from something other than pollen may become associated with the presence of a given allergen, thus triggering a reaction to the allergen. In other words, if you catch the flu during a time when oak pollen is high, it is not unusual to develop oak allergies.
In any case, energy-based allergy desensitization is very much for real, and it offers fast, effective natural allergy relief for oak pollen allergies, as well as any other type of allergy (including airborne allergens, foods, and skin-contact allergies).
