On another hand, there is always something which complicates well-being of people.

During that creative-thinking period while I was waking up this morning, I was pondering the combination of fluoride in the water plus "grain-brain" to account for some of the completely irrational thought-patterns and behavior we're seeing these days!<br /><br />I literally mean IRRATIONAL, in a clinical sort of way.<br /><br />Adding the systemic viral, bacterial and fungal loads the weather is heaping on parts of the country: adding the drug-induced dullness, from the antihistamines and painkillers ... atop the statins, blood-sugar adjusting drugs antidepressants a lot of people take: adding nutritional deficiencies: adding dehydration in the hot dry areas: has America been poisoned to the edge of reason? I'm serious!

More people take medications daily nowadays due to different side effects of a general worsening of metabolic health. From my experience, most if not all medications make allergies worse (antibiotics, all painkillers aspirin included, NSAIDs,ets ), especially when being taken long-turn.A worsening metabolic health makes allergies worse as well. Also, there are a lot of recent health recommendations which worsen allergies like eating a lot of spices, consuming chocolate daily, eating strawberries and citruses often.Not to mention the wide-spread of vegetable oils and other diet follies.<br />Imagine in a such climate a person who has some worsening of allergies, thinks he has a persistent flue, and trying to get better . <br />Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-11685033199304382132015-07-29T09:04:35.260-05:002015-07-29T09:04:35.260-05:00Somebody in my office is coughing like they have T...Somebody in my office is coughing like they have TB.Lori Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612141535162268390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-77940503415360279572015-07-29T07:27:02.993-05:002015-07-29T07:27:02.993-05:00I have to additionally use a garden hose watering ...I have to additionally use a garden hose watering on some especially sunny grass areas because two times a week irrigation was not enough at the absence of rain most of summer.Last week we did got several downpours.

I had a scratchy throat about a week ago, low carb keeps me from going into full blown allergic rhinitis like so many others.

I hate summers here anyway - that relentless sunshine chases me indoor. <br />Tess, I think you can do one more thing for your allergies - make sure that your D is not low and correct it if it is.<br />I am truly sorry that you suffer from allergies. It is on the list of things I scare of the most.

Pamper yourself a little, and don't try to do too much when you don't feel like it." Good advice.<br /><br />Sit down and relax with a Norcal Margarita ...
