"After three treatments I feel great. Before seeing you I went to our family doc and an orthopedists for my lower back spasms and elbow pain. Your exam was more thorough than the two of them put together. Thanks again." ~S. Willis, Emmett
Don’t Spend Another Season Suffering With Allergies!
Are you suffering from the debilitating effects of Allergies? Are you one of millions of Americans that actually dread the spring and summer because of the incapacitating allergic responses of itching eyes, chronic sneezing, running nose, skin rashes, hives, eczema, sinus congestion; diarrhea and frequent urination? This condition may be seasonal or perennial due to environmental allergens.
Rhinitis symptoms may be associated with headache, irritability, poor concentration, loss of sleep, and resulting fatigue. The functional impact of these symptoms ranges from mild to seriously debilitating effects on social, physical, and emotional functioning. Allergic rhinitis may interfere with cognitive tasks, may impair work performance, and may cause work absences.
Traditional Oriental Medicine Offers Relief Without Side-Effects
Why suffer? You don’t have to spend another season suffering, altering your life style and being less productive with family and work. At , Traditional Oriental Medicine offers you a safe, effective, and natural option for treating these seasonal problems. This includes a combination of Acupuncture and herbal strategies which provide very effective relief, while enhancing your immune system.
“Acupuncture is more effective than antihistamine drugs in the treatment or allergic rhinitis.”
According to the World Health Organization, “Acupuncture is often used in treating respiratory disorders. Allergic rhinitis is one of the major indications. In controlled studies, it has been shown that acupuncture is more effective than antihistamine drugs in the treatment or allergic rhinitis. Acupuncture’s lack of side-effects is a distinct advantage in treating this condition.”
A study in the September 2004 issue of Allergy has concluded that a combination of Chinese herbs and weekly Acupuncture sessions may be more effective than a placebo at relieving the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis without side effects.
What sets and Dr. Alderman apart from other providers is that he has specialized in caring for allergy suffers for almost 30 years. As a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and Licensed Acupuncturist, it is his opinion that allergic rhinitis often starts in early childhood with a constitutional weakness, but it may also start later in life with an imbalance affecting the decline of the innate energy of the body. From this Eastern medical perspective, Dr. Alderman determines the essential root of the problem and draws from his decades of clinical experience and Traditional Chinese Medical Principles which have proven themselves safe, effective, fast acting, and offer lasting results and relief.
“I find it gratifying to treat allergies with Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. There is often a quick response. Often patients get relief during their first treatment. I have seen many patients who failed medication and allergy shots respond to Acupuncture. Patients sometimes continue with whatever standard treatments they are currently undergoing while getting Acupuncture treatments, and most patients end up significantly reducing or eliminating their dependence on allergy medications, which can also be part of the problem.” ~John L. Alderman, O.M.D., L.Ac., D.N.B.A.O

Western Medicine vs. Allergies
The Western treatment of allergic rhinitis relies mostly on antihistamine agents. Unfortunately, antihistamines only treat the manifestations of the disease and not the root. In addition, they cause major side-effects and threaten your health. The bottom line is you’ve now added drug side-effects to your allergy suffering symptoms.
The pharmaceutical industry and western physicians pump out millions upon millions of prescriptions for antihistamines, decongestants and steroids medicines that mask the symptoms—and yet the number of Americans suffering allergies still climbs by the millions annually. Many medications can also actually cause the symptoms that you are trying to resolve. It’s estimated that 4 ½ to 7 billion dollars are spent annually on chasing the symptoms of allergies.
The pharmaceutical drug side effects, in many cases, cause radical and severe physical and emotional imbalances in the body. Dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, nausea, dry mouth, flushing, sun sensitivity and nervousness occur. It is also not uncommon for cardiovascular symptoms to appear as well, including chest pain, a rapid pulse, skin rash, high blood pressure, tremors and hallucinations to be drug induce complications.
We have all seen the pharmaceutical companies’ TV commercials that paint a picture of a euphoric, pain-free and symptom-free individual in a pleasurable, serene family or romantic setting. Then the disclaimers of side effects, contraindications, and precautions are understated almost deceptively, as if we’re presumed stupid and won’t heed the warnings. We then ask ourselves who in their right mind would take and prescribe these drugs.
The U.S. Anti-Allergic therapy market is changing dramatically from the potentially dangerous prescription drugs requiring a prescription to now being sold over the counter. Drug advertisers are banking and I mean literally banking, that they can sell the image of pleasure and the harmful injurious side effects will go unheralded or noticed.
Make This the Year You Stop Suffering
This allergy season, put your suffering behind you and let me help you regain your health and balance. Here are some steps I recommend to help you immediately to minimize your allergic symptoms:
Get someone else to help you with yard chores—find someone in the family who's not allergic to do the mowing.
Pollen counts are always highest in the morning, so try and plan outdoor activities for the afternoon or evening whenever possible. Rain tends to drive allergens out of the air, so planning activities for just after a good rain makes sense, too.
Keeping windows closed and using air conditioning—even when the weather is pleasant outside—can cut the misery for allergic individuals while they're at home.
Wear gloves and pollen mask while gardening and work on relatively humid, windless days. Keep soils moist and gardens free of flowering weeds. Shower and shampoo after you come back inside. Rinse off glasses after gardening and keep gardening clothing away from the bedroom.
Avoid planting the following high-allergen species: amaranthus, crocus, elderberry, juniper, peony, poppy and privet. Some low-allergen alternatives include azalea, begonia, bougainvillea, daisy, dahlia, gladiola, iris, Irish moss, marigold, orchids, snapdragon, sunflowers, tulips, violets and zinnias.
Planting female trees in your yard will attract and then trap incoming airborne pollen from male plants.
