Any seasonal allergy sufferers out there? If so, I'm sure you can relate to the HELL that is Spring. (especially in the midwest)
I have had them since I was born. Every spring and fall (the 2 best seasons!), itchy, puffy eyes, snotty/stuffed up nose and constant sneezing.
I had some high 'hopes' that this year was different and I'm pretty excited that it is. Spring came and I'm waiting for it... waiting... never came, no symptoms. But I wasn't going to get all excited until I survived a day outside cutting grass. That was yesterday and against my wife's suggestion I did it WITHOUT A MASK
and I have to report that there is NO sneezing or any allergy symptoms of any kind!
Since allergies just dont "go away" I have a few theories as to why I don't have them now and I can only conclude that it my diet, since that is the only thing that has changed since this time last year.
I don't know if its one thing, or a combination of all, but the biggest changes have been that I have cut 90% of the dairy out of my diet. I drink raw milk instead of store bought milk. I eat a dozen eggs a week along with organic butter from grass fed cows. I am eating about 80% less wheat/grains and a lot more organic vegetables and fruit in its place. I eat about the same about of meat (pork, beef, chicken, seafood). I eat a LOT less processed foods. So I don't know if its any of that, all of it, or one thing but I can finally enjoy a Spring season.
