Allergies: A Natural Approach

Ah, the joy of spring. Ah-choo, that is. 'Tis the season and this new, comprehensive naturopathic guide to allergy treatment is sure to be welcomed by allergy sufferers who are willing to consider alternatives to popping OTC sinus meds. Hosted by Gary Null, the program features naturopathic physicians examining causes and suggesting treatments for seasonal, food and environmental allergies. With traditional allopathic medicine offering few options for allergy sufferers (in fact, standard skin allergy tests are useless for testing a wide variety of food allergies, since most doctors don't accept the idea of widespread food allergies), the suggestions for rotation diets, mineral supplementation, and herbal remedies and detoxification regimes provided here are sure to appeal to viewers looking for alternative treatments. Watching with the Hippocratic Oath in mind ("first, do no harm"), I heard little here that struck me as potentially dangerous (except for a brief section on chelation therapy, which is a controversial treatment) and while the talking-head format is isn't ideal, the information presented here will be useful to many.
