Respiratory

Allergy symptoms, depending on the substance involved, can affect your airways, sinuses and nasal passages, skin, and digestive system. Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe. Many of these respiratory conditions that can make life miserable. What many people do not know is long before you have problems with the respiratory system, you more than likely had a problem with digestion, elimination, or chronic inflammation. 

By learning how these systems are connected and work you can better understand where the root of your imbalance stems. See Digestive Health Page.

Many people rely on over the counter or prescription medication to relieve their symptoms but unfortunately they come with many unwanted side effects. Over the counter cold and cough remedies suppress symptoms by interfering with production and expulsion of mucus.

The side effects of decongestants and Antihistamines are dry mouth, dizziness, headaches and risk of raising your blood pressure.

People with chronic respiratory challenges and allergies often rely on inhaled steroids (Inhaled Corticosteroids). Long-term use can lead to oral thrush, Dysphonia (harsh voice), bruising, thinning of the skin, osteoporosis, and even stunted growth.

Although these drugs are very helpful at opening airway passages and helping you breathe, they can deplete the body’s vital nutrients like Calcium, Vitamin D, Folate, Melatonin, Potassium, Selenium, and Vitamins A, B6, B12, and C.

Allergy symptoms develop because of too much histamine release from the immune system, which is why people take antihistamines. An overactive immune system is actually the problem.

The question is, “What’s Causing an Overactive Immune Response?” The common links to all disease including respiratory challenges is chronic inflammation and unhealthy digestive system.

Below you will see some of the key formulas I use when it comes to supporting healthy respiratory system. 

Dr. Sheryl Recommends These Natural Supplements For Respiratory Health

“I personally have seen amazing results with the Isotonix Bromelain Plus formula. I tried everything for well over a year I suffered with intense sinus pressure. I am so grateful to have found something safe and natural that actually made a difference"

Dr Sheryl

“I have been taking OPC-3 for several months and found my overall health improving greatly! However, my asthma seemed to find a life of its own (I am surrounded by farmland, where crop dusting, burning, pesticide and herbicide use are commonplace). I was on Proventil, Intal and Azmacort inhalers, a dose of Singulair at night, and used both Vancenase and Nasalcrom. I still suffered with poor breathing capability, chest tightness (sometimes I would even say chest PAIN). Within 18 hours of drinking Ultimate Aloe (about 4 ounces spread throughout the day), I have been able to give up all six of these medications. Those of you with allergies should try it if you aren’t using it now. I hope this helps another as it has me!”
