My son has suffered with allergies and hayfever every spring for years. This year I sent him to the health food store for butterbur and nettle. I also convinced him to give up dairy for a couple of weeks to see if that helped.

I called him after the first week to see how the butterbur worked and if he needed me to send him some more. He said he hadn't really had any problem with his allergies to be able to try it very much. I told him to be sure and give it a good test so I could see how well it worked and if needed I could send him some more.

Another week went by and I asked him again about the butterbur. He was forced to admit that I'd been right all along about the dairy, and since giving it up he didn't have an allergy problem anymore.

I went up to visit him last week and low and behold, no more snuffling and sneezing and carrying around kleenex and nose blowing. PERIOD! Oh, and as a side benefit his face was all cleared up. Something he's been trying to do for several years.
