They work better for some people than others. As for allergy shots, some shots are symptom suppressors and some are treatment via mini-exposures over a period of time.

Do you still have strong reactions? Did your Mother think they helped.

I think the fear of vaccines is driven by by that Corporation who's name can't be mentioned on reddit as a cover story for the damage to our food system and contamination of our water supplies.

Where we have not only neurological (brain) path harm, but the tremendous increase in immune system disorders like Celiac disease. Something that was so rare I knew only one such sufferer, until about 2000, but now have three in my extended family alone, full out Celiac's not just gluten sensitivity.

I am not anti-vax.

Do you realize that all newborns were once given a mercury infused eyewash that probably contained in that one at birth treatment then is now in the full treatment of vaccines? There was never an association of that treatment with autism though they now have a new product to prevent that kind of blindness.

I was wrong when I said the eye treatment was mercury, it was silver nitrate.

Here are the past and current uses of mercury in medicine today.

I agree, disagreement is fine. And one day I might remember to check first then type.

Don't they have pills for that?

Same as you, I used to have to get them every couple weeks as a kid, haven't gotten them in years and can't tell a difference

My husband's grandmother gets hers regularly, has done so for years and she still suffers from bad allergies. She has even said she doubts it does anything but she goes anyways. Husband got them for awhile when he was young and he says they didn't help.

We live in a part of the country where a lot of people suffer from allergies. To me personally it just seems like inconveniencing yourself every once in awhile just to still suffer from allergies.

Ha! We are also in VA! :)

I guess Richmond has really earned its title of Worst Allergy City.

Hello :)

I think I am like you, when I first moved here I suffered from allergies but now 15 years later I am only bothered a few days a year when ragweed is high.

And no, I don't know any Volkswagen mechanics

Replying again cuz I got too excited and forgot something lol

The rate of lung cancer in my area of VA is incredible, this has touched my family. (Healthy adult died of lung cancer, never smoked or drank and ate pretty healthy and was very active)I have looked into air quality issues and not only do we have big allergy problems, we have a massive air pollution problem and the area affected by high rates of lung cancer is surrounded by some of the biggest polluters.

No surprise that the most toxic air has the highest cancer rate but I thought since you are from the area you may be interested if you weren't already aware.

Now taking this to pm cuz I don't wanna give too much away! :)

If you're actually interested in curing allergies, I suggest this method:

As always, read testimonials, watch videos, and form an opinion for yourself; don't take my word for it.

I know 4 people for whom it worked. They told me, I tried it. My goodness, it's like magic. They can tell what you're allergic to just by touching vials of liquid containing trace allergens to your skin; showed confirmed in blood test results. It's unbelievable and wouldn't speak for it if I didn't personally experience benefits. It wasn't expensive, covered by my insurance with a $20 copay. Please relay this information to anyone and everyone.

Of course, please PM if you have any questions. I'll go into more detail

Vaccines are great. Why qouldnt allergy shots be as well?

My mother had me go for allergy shots for many years growing up. Allergies only got worse. I doubt they would have been nearly as bad without the shots.
