Antihistamines As the name indicates, an antihistamine counters the effects of histamine, which is released by the mast cells in the body''s tissues and contributes to allergy symptoms. For many years, antihistamines have proven useful in relieving sneezing and itching in the nose, throat, and eyes and in reducing nasal swelling and drainage. Many people who take antihistamines experience some distressing side effects: drowsiness and loss of alertness and coordination. In children, such reactions can be misinterpreted as behavior problems. During the last few years, however, antihistamines that cause fewer of these side effects have become available by prescription. These new nonsedating antihistamines are as effective as other antihistamines in preventing histamine-induced symptoms, but do so without causing sleepiness.

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

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.
