This year, allergy season is arriving later than normal in some places in the northern hemisphere, due to late winter freezes. But in other areas, people are experiencing an early onset of allergies, because allergy season is generally becoming longer. According to researchers, climate change is responsible for a prolonged allergy season with the upper latitudes warming faster than other areas.

It looks like we are set to experience an especially difficult allergy season. This is to remind you about the Perelandra MBP Balancing Solutions Allergy Combo: Immune, Lymphatic and Respiratory.
With the way this pollen season is shaping up, I recommend that any of you who are experiencing symptoms take these three MBP Balancing Solutions TWICE daily (first thing in the morning and last thing at night before going to bed) throughout the entire allergy season. And if you haven't already started taking this combo, now is the time to start!
A helpful hint from one of my staff: "The more I indulge in food my blood-type should avoid (D'Adamo's Eat Right 4 Your Type Diet), the more likely I am to have trouble with allergies."
The information and advice below is excerpted from an MSNBC article by Martin Savidge and posted April 2, 2007.

"Experts describe a kind of pollen perfect storm — a wet fall, milder winter, and a dry, suddenly hot spring triggering an explosion.
"Everything is blooming a little closer together," says horticulturist Amanda Campbell with the Atlanta Botanical Garden. "So there's all these blooms out, which is beautiful, but there's also a lot of pollen associated with the blooms."
"Scientists say the problem is actually man-made.
"Carbon dioxide — burning fossil fuels — is stimulating plants to make more pollen," says Paul R. Epstein with the Center for Health and Global Environment at Harvard University. "And the weeds love this stuff."
"What to do?
"Experts advise:
- Take medications 30 minutes before going outside;
(MSW: If you have any questions, call the Question Hot Line for how to use the Perelandra tools in conjunction with medication if the medication is necessary.)
- Use air conditioning on high pollen count days;
- Dry laundry indoors;
- Shower before bed;
- And wipe down pets that have been outdoors.
"Climate change could also cause the misery to last year-round."
Best of health to you.
