Re: I am experimenting with do-it-yourself Allergy/Asthma immunizations! Instead of shots, I'm placing allergen(s) under my tongue! Wish me luck!

OK. Now I'm getting a little more reckless!

I figure that I am already going to be up all night long with "labored" breathing, or worse, and I will be sooooooo very sick tomorrow, so I am following the Rush Protocol, or Rapid Desensitization, which involves multiple treatments, innoculations, SLITs, whatever, during a few hours in ONE day.

So, @ 9:30am, I went outside, pulled another blade of grass.... this one with a lot of dew/moisture on it, and, using a QTip, placed the pollens/pollutants/triggers under my tongue.

Hmmmm!? Unexpected reaction....... NOTHING!? Not any dizzier? No increase in chest pains, or sob, yet. Still dizzy, slight chest pains and slight sob, but no increase in symptoms? Why? Why not?

Imagine if this works, and people with debilitating allergies could cure themselves at home (under the care of a health professional, of course)! What a tremendous reduction in medical cost, time and aggravation!

Well..... wish me luck.

Hmmmmm!? Heart starting to jump a little more. Getting a little dizzier. Slight increase in Chest Pains. Starting to sweat. Didn't sweat after first treatment!? Didn't wait long enough to wait for a reaction before I decided to pounce on Healthboards, and post! Oh well......
