I have never heard of it raining pollen before.  Around here it gets picked up and blown by the wind, which is when it seems to affect people the worst, but other than that I dont think it is a bother.

Spring pollen plays heck on Kathy too. Snow,/rain/cold or a bit of sneezing and wheezing?  haha. Just keep the Zyrtec handy!

Im lucky that I don't get much but a little sniffle with all the pollen. Its been thick here for a few weeks now. Its worth it to have some great weather.

Wow that's alot of pollen...keep you Zyrtec handy and I hope it don't effect you to bad this year...peace zane

I didn't know that about pollen.  I always thought that is why people like the wet climates was because it kept the junk out of the air.  I guess I'm still learning......

Todd, I am one of those fortunate souls that has never had a problem with pollen but I can see how those who do are just miserable.

Todd, so sorry you have those allergies. I'll shoot you an email on what I do to keep them under control.. ;-)

Todd- I will tell you the cure for your allergies even though you most likely will not believe me. I have horrific allergies all my life until I did this and now no more allergies. For real.

No sugar at all in any form except Agave nectar and Xytol. No fake sugars either, no aspertame, no splendid.

No artificial colors or flavor or preservatives.

No yeast, no vinegar except for organic raw unprocessed apple cider vinegar, no foods with these in them for two weeks.

Then for the first two weeks, no grains. You can eat meat, organic and lots of veggies. NO fruit for two weeks except coconut, avocados, tomatoes and pineapple. Lots of lemons and limes is good. Those are alkaline.

This is a candida cleanse. All allergies are caused by candida in the body. IT is not really the pollen it is your body's inability to deal with the pollens.

After 2 weeks, you can intro one grain a week to make sure you have no allergies to the grains. First is rice, then oats, then rye.

I have a lot more to it, supplements that I took to get me through. You need lots of probiotics.

The best probiotics that are natural are sourkraut and Kimchee. But not in vinegar. They create their own juices that ferment. I get them at Whole Foods. But I also take a probiotic supplement.

After 6 months, I had no more allergies. I know which foods I have to stay away from. Once in a while I will get a sneeze attack but rarely.

Todd- You can eat meat! That is fine! But you also need the green stuff. I am sure there is something that you can manage to get into your bod that is green or purple:)  Yes, your body would detox and that means it may go into shock for a few days. The withdrawels can get pretty darn bad, the cravings are horrid. Just like being addicted to drugs, hmmm, actually it is the chemicals that we are addicted to in the food. Eat whole foods, not processed. Nestor is on this, and he eats meat and he is still alive:)
