For the past several weeks, I have been an impossible person to deal with, both at work and home. I suffer from allergies. Several months ago I started getting allergy shots on a weekly basis. I take Zyrtec on a daily basis and use nasal spray every day. In spite of taking all these medications, I am still miserable. I thought I was going nuts with the moods I was having. What else can I do?

The symptoms you are experiencing are not a result of any drug deficiency. The medications you take are designed to suppress your symptoms. In your case, nothing seems to alleviate your condition and now you are having an issue with mood swings. You may actually suffer from brain allergy. Dr. Philpott’s book on Brain Allergies states that “if the part of the brain affected is one that controls certain behaviors, this allergic irritation will produce recognizable mental and/or behavioral changes.”

The food that you eat may be responsible for your allergy symptoms and may affect the level of neurotransmitters in the brain thus affecting behavior patterns.

In order to help alleviate your suffering, you will need to find your specific offending stressors, such as foods, immune issues, toxic chemicals and heavy metals and eliminate them from your diet.

If you are serious about improving the quality of your life, you will need to make a change, since if you do what you have always done, you will get what you always got. In other words, if what you are currently doing does not work, try something else.

I recommend that you find a chiropractor who is also trained in Nutrition Response Testing and begin your journey to a better health.
