To derive the maximum benefits from
the product, it must be taken correctly. The adult dosage is 1-2
caplets every 4-6 hours as needed for symptoms of allergy
or sinusitis.
Since every person is unique, the dosage
may vary considerably. To obtain the fastest and best results, it
is recommended that you initially double the usual dosage. When the
maximum benefit is obtained, lower the dosage by one half caplet each
time the formula is taken until you achieve the lowest dosage which
still controls your symptoms.
Higher dosages may result in a feeling
of dryness in the nose and throat. Since the drying effect is what
we want to achieve, this indicates that Dr. Harris’ Original
Allergy Formula is working. This may be alleviated by sucking on a
hard sugarless candy as well as by lowering the dosage as described
above.
There are many things that you can do
to increase the effectiveness of the product, including the following:
- Always take Dr. Harris’
Original Allergy Product on an empty stomach.
- Avoid dairy products such
as milk, butter, cheese, etc., as they tend to increase the production
of respiratory secretions.
- Stop or reduce cigarette
smoking, as it increases respiratory secretions.
Since these conditions are not new in
medical history, it is not surprising that various treatments for
these problems have been tried for hundreds of years. Like many chronic
diseases, these conditions have been difficult to control effectively.
Control measures used only for treatment of allergies
include the following:
Avoidance Therapy.
If the affected person is allergic to only one
substance, complete avoidance of that allergen would prevent any symptoms.
From a practical standpoint, this
is virtually impossible,
as almost everyone affected is allergic
to more than one substance.
Antihistamines. These are chemicals
designed to neutralize histamine and reduce sneezing, nasal discharge
and itching due to allergic rhinitis. It is not effective against
nasal congestion or eye symptoms. Side effects are very common
and include drowsiness that is often severe, dryness of the mouth,
dizziness, vertigo, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and
irritability in children.
Chromolyn Sodium. A chemical
sprayed intra-nasally which can partially prevent or treat an allergic
reaction. The side effects include sneezing, nasal burning and
nasal irritation.
Immunotherapy. A treatment program
that attempts to elevate the threshold for symptoms to appear following
repeated exposure to the antigens. The results in patients with
allergy to multiple antigens is usually mediocre at best.
The program must be followed for 3-6 years or the symptoms will recur
rapidly after treatment is discontinued. The expense is immense.
Control measures used for the treatment
of both Allergies and Sinusitis include the following:
Decongestants. Medications that
reduce nasal and sinus wall swelling, reduce nasal congestion, increase
access for air and improve sinus drainage. When administered either
orally or topically for periods of more than 5-7 days, a "rebound
phenomenon" occurs, whereby the nasal mucus membranes become
more swollen and congested due to the continued use of the medication.
When taken orally, these drugs can cause nervousness, insomnia, tachycardia
(excessively fast heart rate) and hypertension. Serious health effects
can occur in patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, hyperthyroidism,
angina (chest pain) or those taking certain antidepressant medications.
Cortisone. When taken orally
for more than two weeks, these drugs have such severe side effects
that they are now used only rarely for treatment. When used intra-nasally,
they are effective in reducing allergic symptoms. The drugs have side
effects that include nasal irritation, crusting, bleeding, perforation
of the nasal septum and production of fungal disease in the nose and
airway.
Control measures used only
for treatment of sinusitis include the following:
Antibiotics. Since sinusitis
frequently is associated with bacterial infections, antibiotics are
commonly used as a part of the treatment regimen. These drugs
have numerous side effects which include skin eruption, dizziness,
headache, abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sun
sensitivity on exposed skin areas and others.
Mucolytics. These medications
act to liquefy thick secretions to aid in sinus drainage. Diarrhea
is a frequent side effect.
Nasal Toilet. To assist sinus
drainage, application of moist heat to the face and steam inhalation
are beneficial. A warm saline solution may also be delivered into
the nasal cavity using a pulsing-powered irrigation device. This is
extremely uncomfortable and must be done professionally.
Surgery. Many techniques have
been developed to improve sinus drainage, depending on which sinus
cavities are involved. Complications include scarring, postoperative
hemorrhage, injury to structures around the eye, e.g., damage to the
globe, damage to the optic nerve, damage to the muscles that move
the eye and bleeding within the orbit (eye socket), leakage of spinal
fluid, damage to the brain and bleeding into the brain.
