“With allergy season coming on.” I am allergic to house dust, cool weather mold, cigarette smoke, and ragweed, so am in allergy season at least 6 of the months of the year. I have been taking from 3 to 6 grams of Vitamin C a day for almost 50 years. It really helps. Some in the morning and evening and once or twice during the day since your body excretes excess in 5 or 6 hours. When my nose gets clogged I take 500 mg or 1 gram. If my nose has not opened by 1/2 hour, I take some more.
When I was a child, age 10 and on, one of my jobs was to iron 36 cloth handkerchiefs a week for my hayfever suffering father. When I finally discovered the value of Vitamin C for allergy, I got him interested. I also had him take 250 or 500 mg. of Pantothenic Acid to strengthen his adrenals. He never had another bad hayfever season again finally dying at age 90.
If you are suffering from allergies for 6+ months a year that is horrible.
My grandfather was a beekeeper, he swore by honey. You might want to give that a try. It should be as local to you as possible. None of my family are sufferers from allergies and I attribute it to the local honey we ingest.
A toasted peanut butter and honey sandwich is so good, even if it doesn’t help you it’s a tasty lunch.
