allergies: an overactive immune system?

Drip, Drip, Drip.
Seasonal allergies are the result of an overactive and over stimulated immune system.
They start in early spring with tree pollens. Which leads to late spring bringing grasses.
Next summer and fall brings weeds and molds. If that's not enough ....dust mites will cause year round allergies. For your enjoyment and information, I put together a slide show presentation here http://www.slideshare.net/drrinde/approaches-to-allergies-1203577 .
Check it out and get started on the basics this year. This year I am looking at ways to help modulate (calm the immune system). My favorite cornerstone herbal treatment is Urtica dioica (common name Nettles). It will play a role in the treatment guide that I am developing. The key is to balance (not supress) the immune system.

Personal change

Making personal change is an art as much as a science. When we set our sights on making a change (ie. exercising again, eating healthier,etc.) its easy to fall into the perfectionist trap. Once focused on perfection, procrastion sets in. Its absolutely essential to give up the need to be perfect, and just START. Once you have started; the goal is now within reach. Waiting for the right moment and when every thing is lined up perfectly is a recipe for standing STILL. JUST START. Let it be messy or imperfect, and create movement and the change will actualize.
