Soon we will hear the famliar complaint, 'my aller- gies are killing me', as hun- dreds of people head for the medicine chest in order to relieve symptoms of this dreaded 'hay fever'. The term'allergy' was actu- ally coined from two different words meaning'altered reac- tivlty'. It meant that an aller- gy was an adverse response to a substance by one person but flot by most people. "Onse man's meat is another man's poison", Is a famous saying credited to Lucretius, aRoman pet and philosopher, about two thousand years ago. And poison it is, when one considers the runny nose and eyes, headaches, post nasal drip, cough, wheezing, sneezing, and total misery often accompanying this mal- ady of summer and early fail. Ambrosia, that tail, ugly brown weed lining the road- sides is the culprit. Some peo- ple experience even more serious symptoms in reaction to ragweed. including colitis, fatigue, arthritis, mood swings and eczema. Some women, in fact, even have abnormal uterine bleeding in September. In addition to Ambrosia, there Is another menace to consider. This time of year also marks the onset of the mold season, which peaks in the fali. At that time, condi- lions are ripe for mold spores to burst forth and shower bil- lions of allergy-provokrng baby spores into the air. So, what can you do besides get out your handkerchiefs and leenex? It is wlse to bear in mind that, with any remedy, the effectiveness will depend on your TOTAL LOAD which takes Into account ail the fac- tors that undermine a per- sons health; food, chemicals, water, air, stress, to name just a few. -1 Some healthful sugges- lions follow: 1 - Relieve your symptoms with supplements..As you ail know, we can't always depend on the nutiitional value in our foods which are-often grown on impoverished souls. The free radical scavengers, pyc- nogenol and Vitamin C (one of nature's own antihistamines) go a long way to giving the. body needed support. Wise to STARl' EARLY; - don't wait for the worst possible scenario to occur. Homeopathic medica- lions are available at Stutt's Pharmacy in Orono, includ- ing: Sabalia - a defense mech- anism stimulant whlch reduces the intensity and fre- quency of the crisis; Optalia which gently relieves itchy, watery eyes; Homeoplasmine for protection of the inflamed nasal passages, and- Stodal, against the dry cough which frequently accompanies hay fever. Homeopathic remedies have been with us for over 200 years, and cause no undesireable side effects. 2 - Detect hidden molds, and discover whether your symptoms are caused by something you ate last night or by somethling in your mat- tress. Mold plates (containing a substance for mold to grow in) are available with direc- tions by caling 1-800-846- 6687. This is one sure-fire way to determine whether your environment- is over- loaded with mold. Spraying a basement or any damp area in your house with a combi- nation of hydrogen peroxide, tea tree oil and clove, (as an essential oil) is a handy mold removal recommendation from the Natural Nut. 3 - The use of an air puri- fier in the bedroom, where one spends one-third of one's time will remove mold and dust, and you should awaken refreshed. A dehumidifier aids in decreasing the moisture that mold requires to thrive. 4 - Avoid moldy and fer- mented foods that many cause or contribute to con- gestion. Dalry products (mostly milk and cheese), wheat products (breads, pasta, chips and many pack- aged foods), corn and corn products, margarine and most commercial oils, fer- mented and aged products like cheese, vinegars, alcohol and salad dressings. GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOODS are soy, rice or nut mllks -or banana blended in water, rice cereals, caullflower, squash, parsnlps, flax oll (do not heat), cold-pressed oils - sesame, olive, walnut or apri- cot kernel. 5 - Additives Add up to Allergy. NO ADDITIVES DO YOUR HEALTH ANY GOOD, and may have the potential to cause toic and allergic reactions, because they are foreign substances In the body. Consider that two and a haif billion pounds of pesti-, cides are released ln to the environment each year, and 60% of these are used by farmers. Each person con- sumes five pounds of food additives per year. This is a relatively new phenomenum which demands that our bodies adapt to such change at a rapid pace. There is littie evidence to mndicate that suf- ficient enzymes are manufac- tured by the body to metabo- lize these chemicals. This stress on the body leads to toxicity and negative reac- tions. It's a good idea to be aware of YOUR TOTAL LOAD; ail the things which we submit our bodies to, making us suscep- tible to falling iii, orjust plain staggering around feeling miserable, ln the throes of allergy. Study skills The habit that makes the difference (NC)-Two students with roughly the same mental abilities enter high school. One does well from the very beginning while the other teeters between near-failure and average marks. Why? There can be many reasons, including health, but the difference frequently lies in one student's study skills how he or she organizes study at home. Information and brochures designed to help students and parents are available from the Ontario Secondary Sehool Teachers' Federation.
