p 2 tribune july 26 1935 st allergies bringing people in for relief in record numbers from page 1 theres been a steady stream of people coming in with allergies this year the same as every year said dr patrick wat of the dr smith izso and wat practice wat said his own practice bears out the national trend as to an increase in allergy sufferers over the past decade or so i donlt know whether its because of pollution an increase in bronchial problems or whether its nutritional or maybe its just that more people are going to doctors with their allergies than before for dr salwa marie azer of stouffville family physicians it depends on the person as to whether one year is worse than another tve seen no major difference this year it may be worse for some people because of the heat and humidity but it really depends on the person and what they are allergic to azer said local conditions can cause problems for individual sufferers if you live beside a field full of ragweed youve going to have a problem dr azer said the best way for many people to minimize their suffering is to control their own environment the installa tion of air conditioners and electronic air fil ters to reduce pollens in the air vacuuming frequently avoiding high pile carpets that gather dust and having pets which can stay outside as much as possible can all help she said the doctors agreed that its best to take a step by step approach when going about die process of d allergies and prescrib ing medication if an antihistamine can control it fine or nasal vaporizers or eye drops may be all that s needed said dr petrie if ifs warranted testing can then be done to find out exactly what the person is allergic to they can then be given shots to desensitize them to the allergen but knowing what youve been allergic to in the past may not help this year suggested dr wat with some people their sensitivity shifts in time they can become better or they become allergic to other things area pharmacists all said they were doing a brisk business in the better known over-the- counter hay fever medications this season by and large people selfmedicate for sea sonal allergies said rob croxall of aikens ida the nonsedative antihistamines seem to be the most popular different antihista mines work for different people but croxall said ifs important to begin tak ing the pills before the allergens strike an antihistamine doesnt reverse a reaction it just pre vents further reactions it can take three or four days for it to work if the person is already suffering an allergic reaction croxall said his store has been doing a brisk business in homeopathic allergy remedies this year as people look to natural reme dies croxall lilly eng of the stouffville shoppers drug mart said people tend to stick to the medica tions that have worked for them in the past she said the past few years have seen a defi nite increase in customers coming into the store for allergy relief absolutely more people are coming in with allergic symptoms like a runny nose irritat ed eyes and congestion lou wassef of houstons pharmacy said theres more to it than just selling the cus tomer a box of pills people with high blood pressure or heart problems should consult their doctor before buying allergy products he warned especial ly now that legislation has changed to allow the overthecounter sale of medications that once had to be prescribed by a physician tou have to be specific and honest with the cus tomer said wassef you cant just take ms money and send him on his way with some product or other but while the doctors and pharmacists seem to share the same traditional approach to allergy treatment stouffville chiropractor dr allen turner goes about it in a different way turner believes allergies result from a weakened immune system brought about by ah improperly functioning digestive system he said that by using chiropractic spinal adjustments to remove interference to nerves controlling the glands controlling the immune system allergic conditions can actu ally be reversed rather than controlled by prescribing changes in diet and lifestyle and perhaps recommending nutritional supple ments permanent change can be affected he said more and more people are getting tired of relying on drugs said dr tlumer so they are turning to things that are more natural theyre looking to get to the root of the problem rather than relieving the symp toms cs activities for adults and children make jbfor summertime fun antique car show the antique and classic car show takes place at the whitchurch
