Treatment of Allergies?

[pbcoole]

I started the Master Cleanse this spring out of desperation over my allergies. My eyes, particularly, have been in horrible shape. For the past two weeks I've been waking up with the lids stuck close, and my eyes are red and swollen throughout the day.

My asthma has been bad for the past six months as well. Normally, my asthma has only bothered me for a few weeks a year during my adult life, (though it was very bad in childhood).

I'm on day three of my Master Cleanse, and so far the allergies aren't much better, and the asthma, if anything is worse. I HAVE to use my albuterol inhaler several times a day, and I usually have to wake up twice a night to use it. And I'm trying not to use it at all on this fast, so I'm waiting until I really need it.

Has anyone else had their asthma get worse at the beginning of the Master Cleanse? And has anyone eliminated severe allergies with the Master Cleanse? My body seems to adapt to natural and prescription allergy remedies quickly. I've basically run out of options in treating my allergies, and I am hoping the Master Cleanse will do the trick. (My liver must be chock-full of medications by this point in my life).

pbcoole: I don't have asthma so I don't know if I can be of any help to you, but I do have allergy issues.

Every time I start the cleanse (I'm on #6) my sinuses go nuts, I get a headache, my nose runs and is stuffed up at the same time and I feel as if I'm coming down with the flu...since I know I'm not, I realize it's detox.

Things will get much worse before they get better (sorry, but this seems to be true for most of us). I used to have to take allergy medicine all the time. I don't anymore. I do however take aspirin periodically, (and this is just the past few months due to unknown headache issues - still working on this one).

I think it was Soph whose sinuses drained like crazy for quite a while. Most of us go through something...however, I wouldn't recommend stopping your asthma medicine just yet. Some people are a bit more toxic than others so the symptoms on the cleanse vary depending on that and how much weight you need to lose.

Does that help a wee bit? :)
