My (non food related) allergies came on a couple years ago as a result of stress and poor eating, etc. They last all year long and would make me very tired, fatigued and congested/dizzy. I changed my diet and reduced dairy and wheat/gluten. There was a huge change in my digestion but not in my allergies.
I went to a new doctor (MD/DO) and asked for a natural method of combatting them. He told me to take Quercitin and Bromelain tablets once or twice a day on an empty stomach. I have been taking 2 of them, one in the morning and one at night and they have helped me TREMENDOUSLY with allergies. I can now walk around the block without feeling so sleepy when I come back. I blow my nose less often and haven't had a sinus infection this year. (Last year I had 2 or 3 for the first time in my life).
I've been on them for almost 4 months. They do take a little while to build up in your system I've read. Highly recommended!

I have been to many doctors but none could help me until one day an assistant in a health store recommended: quercetin and Vitamin C. After just 3 days my sore throat, which I had continuosly for a year disappeared, along with hay fever!
500 mg of quercetin once daily
1400 mg of Vitamin C once daily

Quercetin complex with bromelaine stopped an allergy attack dead in its tracks. After spending four hours sitting in a friend's garden, I succumbed to a really bad allergy attack - blocked sinuses, teary and mucousy eyes, and hot, prickly blood shot eyes, along with a thumping sinus headache. I took two quercetin complex tablets (also containing bromelaine) and within 15 minutes, my sinuses had cleared, the post nasal drip had stopped, and I could generally breathe! It took a while for the eyes to dry up - perhaps a few hours but ultimately it has stopped. I am continuing to take 2 capsules in the morning with breakfast for the next few days to keep things under control, but am confident that I can now control the summer hay fever.
