Allergies?

Do you suffer from seasonal allergies? Do you feel debilitated by them? I absolutely understand your pain! I suffered from allergies such as hay, grass, dust, horses etc. This doesn't work well for me since I have horses and spend most of my time out on the farm. In the spring of 2009 I went to the ER twice from onset asthma attacks. I don't have asthma, and supposedly you're born with it, you can't develop it later in life. The doctors were dumbfounded. One doctor even suspected a heart condition, but nope- just allergies. I told my Chiropractor, Dr Skye about what was happening and he suggested that I undergo allergy desensitizing using laser therapy.At that point I was so desperate I was willing to do ANYTHING. I couldn't afford allergy shots, and honestly I didn't want them even if I could afford them. There are some bad chemicals in those shots that I don't want to put into my body on a regular basis.
After doing the desensitizing which literally took 10 minutes, I was like "ok, so when should I come back in for another treatment?" He said "never". I have to admit that I was skeptical. I've suffered with extreme allergies for SO long, how could one treatment be the "cure"?? I remember going out to the farm a couple days later and being nervous because for the first time in years I didn't take an allergy med first. I waited for the first sneeze...didn't come. I waited for a headache, didn't come. I started to get excited:). I went home and took a shower and felt great. I continued that way for the entire year of 2010, never once taking a medication for allergies.
Today, March 12th 2011, I went out to the farm to brush off all of the winter coat off of my horse. It took about an hour. Hair was flying EVERYWHERE, he was SO bushy! Not even a sneeze! I can't believe the amazing power of desensitizing! It's incredible and has changed my life!
In 2009 Evan and I talked seriously about moving somewhere that I could live an outdoorsy lifestyle and not suffer from my allergies as badly. We considered moving to a few different states and picked them just because of the low allergy scale. I was desperate.
Dr Skye has helped improve my quality of life, along with many others. If you suffer from allergies I highly recommend this treatment (which is ridiculously cheap too). Chiropractic care is amazing, our entire family is hooked!:)
