00:00So what type of allergies are most common this time of year and then what are those symptoms that follow?
00:06This time of year ragweed and grass pollen are pretty high. Then you get into mold into the fall.
00:14Symptoms would be itchy eyes, runny nose, cough, nasal congestion.
00:21Due to the high histamine in your body can make you really tired, even irritable. So if your kids
00:26are going crazy that can be a sign. You can even get neck pain, headaches also from that high
00:35histamine. That's a lot going on and this time of year that can be tough with kids going back to
00:40school and maybe folks going back to work. So how can the body work that a chiropractor do also help
00:45alleviate allergy symptoms? As the chiropractic part we can do cranial bone adjustments so like
00:53the bones of the face, the head to open up the sinuses. We can also adjust the cervical spine
01:01to help kind of relax the nervous system and to control that immune system that is kind of on the
01:06fritz due to the high histamine. There's a lot of other things we can do as far as testing for
01:14high histamine. You can get into some supplements and stuff like that. When you think about the
01:22chiropractic work is that instead of an allergy medication or would that kind of go hand in hand
01:27with an allergy medication? It can go hand in hand. Sometimes allergy medications can be somewhat of
01:35a band-aid. They block histamine and they don't allow the body to get rid of that histamine
01:41and through chiropractic work you can help with that. I can also take certain supplements,
01:47things like N-acetylcysteine. You can do methyl folate, quercetin, bromelain. It helps the liver
01:56clear the histamine out of your body to actually lower the level of histamine so that you don't
02:01have that really high inflammatory hormone floating through your body. Those are some
02:06pretty big words. If someone is suffering from allergies you probably need to reach
02:10out to a professional. How can someone watching find out if a chiropractor could help them?
02:17Most chiropractors are able to help. Not all of them do cranial adjusting but most will all do
02:24cervical spine adjustments which can help. I would try to look for someone that does
02:30applied kinesiology. That's the muscle testing. They can test for the high histamine and help
02:37with the natural supplements that you can take. I would say most chiropractors can help.
