Studies indicate that ingested oral cyanocobalamin tablets are ineffective in the treatment of allergic disease, perhaps because once ingested, they are directly metabolized in the liver. When B12 is delivered via injection or lozenge it passes throughout the bloodstream before arriving at the liver. It is during this first pass in its native form that it is believed to exert its therapeutic effect. CLINICAL RESEARCH: "The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes allergic rhinitis (hay fever), sinusitis, asthma,...conjunctivitis, urticaria, eczema, dermatitis (contact and atopic)...allergic and migraine headache...as diseases in which IgE-mediated allergy may be involved."1 In 1988, asthma and allergic rhinitis subjects were treated with B12. Total IgE, specific IgE and pulmonary lung functions were taken at days 45, 150 and 180 from baseline. Eight of the 9 subjects had reduced IgE. 2 In 1989 open label studies at two sites in Riverside County, CA in 1989. Sixteen of the 17 subjects had lowered IgE levels from Day 0 to Day 30.3

Genentech and Novartis are developing an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody for asthma and allergic rhinitis. In December 1999 they announced positive study results. This is evidence that reducing IgE results in a reduction of symptoms associated with IgE-mediated allergic disease.13 For people who find they cannot adequately avoid the allergens, the symptoms often can be controlled with medications. Effective medications that can be prescribed by a physician include antihistamines, topical nasal steroids, and cromolyn sodium - any of which can be used alone or in combination. Many effective antihistamines and decongestants also are available without a prescription. Click here for allergy medication online.

A new HAY FEVER breakthrough clinically proven to reduce allergy symptoms and antihistamine use. How long were symptoms reduced? Studies showed a one-year reduction. How long? Yes, one year! this medication is a lozenge taken twice daily for 21 days. this medication is non-drowsy, natural and available without a prescription. this medication is a 21 day treatment. this medication users report reductions in symptoms one year after completing the treatment without taking additional this medication. How long? Yes one year, compared to 24-hour antihistamines it''s much longer lasting. Patients known to have seasonal allergy were examined in clinical studies in five U.S. states by qualified medical doctors. Each patient was given either the real this medication or a placebo (a dummy treatment). Nobody knew who got what. Patients recorded in symptons diaries how bad their symptoms were during and after the treatment. About one year later, patients completed a second diary. 64% of the group of patients receiving this medication recorded less sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion one year after completing the treatment in a clinical study. This compares to 35% of the placebo group.
