Here is a set of 10 steps that help you cope with and ease
allergic distress. They are aimed at bringing about a feeling of re-
laxed contentment. This is the ideal environment for enzyme cat-
alysts to create anti-allergy collagen for your respiratory tract. So
you can relieve, avoid and “insulate” yourself against severity of
allergic symptoms with these enzyme-soothing steps:
1. Do not drink alcohol. It tends to dilate blood vessels (as do
allergic substances) and may precipitate an attack.
2. Try not to have any arguments or become involved in stress-
ful situations. Emotional tension is enzyme-destructive and
is believed to set off some attacks.
3. Do not overexert yourself or become fatigued. Do not make
drastic temperature changes from one room to another. For
example, you should not go from a cool indoors to a hot out-
doors (or vice versa) without waiting in a neutral area to allow
your enzymes to adjust to the change.
4. Do not eat or drink anything that is icy cold or
Do not eat heavily spiced foods or beverages.
extremely hot.
5. Give up smoking. It chokes your respiratory organs, actually
“burns” your enzymes and makes you more vulnerable to
worsening allergic symptoms.
6. Do not swim in a chlorinated pool. If you’re swimming in an
ocean or lake, do not suddenly plunge into the cold water.
Ease yourself in slowly.
7. Listen to local weather forecasts or call your local health
department for the daily pollen count. If it is high, do not
open windows. Stay indoors in an air-conditioned environ-
ment as much as possible. But take care that the room does
not become too cool. A comfortable temperature is about
75°F.
8. Avoid using powdered soaps and insecticides.
9. Do not cut flowers or do any gardening or household painting.
10. Do not go for a ride in the country, for you may find yourself
in the midst of a pollen area and suffer an attack.
Basic Guideline: Do not abuse your enzyme catalyst sys-
tem. By treating this system and your body with gentle care, you can help build immunity from within so that you can enjoy freedom from
allergies from the outside!
