Sometime back I posted that I am trying an allergy treatment called Allergy Easy. I have reached my maintenance dosage (10 drops twice per week) and did a doctor visit this week. I had a bad reaction to the full strength serum the first day I used it (2 drops). I was able to handle it with a high dose of antihistamines and decongestants. I’ve had allergy and breathing problems for years, when it gets bad and I’m not getting enough air I’ve learned not to panic but to “hit the problem really hard” with medication. This time I did not need to use my inhaler nor my epi pen.
This time of year is my worst for allergies. While my allergies are really bad, they are significantly less bad than they were at this time last year and less bad than I expected. So, the Allergy Easy treatment has helped me. I’m 4 months into a 2 year program with it. So far I believe it has helped me.
I am still taking 3 allergy medications, thought at lower dosages than at this time last year. When I was at the doctor’s, he told me to back off on the medications at the beginning of summer and see how I feel.

Hello Dagny:
I came across your article regarding Allergy Easy. I’ve had horrid allergy and sinus issues for years and started the Allergy Easy program months ago. I got through the complete kit and on the third bottle of maintenance drops (16 drops every 3 days) and have found the program to be a failure to me. It didn’t make me feel worse or anything, but didn’t make me fell better either. Still have the allergies and hay fever. I sent my doctor (Dr. Suh in Bellevue, WA) an email about this and sought out a new ENT specialist, which I’m seeing now. The new doctor never heard of Allergy Easy (as I found out most people don’t) and suggested I submit blood for a RAST test, which will identify exactly what I’m allergic too. Furthermore, my sinues have been inflammed and swollen, which I’m now taking cortisone steoid meds for the next two weeks. I actually feel better since I stopped the Allergy Easy and on the meds, but I know I’l be looking at allergy shots soon to treat my hay fever, etc. I was very disappointed that the Allergy Easy didn’t work for me, but I do suffer from severe allergies, and since I moved to Washington about 2-3 years ago, it’s been the worst in my life. I just wanted to share my story with you. Good luck on your treatment and better health to come.

Patrick, thanks for your comments. I had allergy testing (the old skin tests) in the mid 1980’s, then I took allergy shots – one shot in each arm twice a week – for about 2 years. This helped, but when the effect plateaued I stopped the treatments. I sure got over my fear of injections 🙂
One has to try various things to find out what works and what does not. It would be sweet if this could be determined scientifically in advance. Maybe in the future.
