My 15 year old son is a mad keen golfer, morning noon and night he has a club in his hand! So you can imagine how awful it was for him to suffer from hay fever.
His symptoms started in about April and would carry on until well into July.
The very worst symptom was the itchy and streaming eyes, followed by the extreme fatigue.
At one point it seemed to be affecting his lungs too.
Every morning a packet of tissues left with him for school.
I felt so sorry for him.
He seemed to be able to manage in the classroom but at home and on the golf course he struggled.
Medication had no positive effect, they just made him more tired.
I took him to be allergy tested using Muscle Response Testing.
He had a string of allergies to foods, chemicals, and various pollens including flowering tree pollens (our back garden is full of trees), roses, grass and weed pollens.
Gradually the Allergy Therapist eliminated them all.
After about a seven treatments for different allergies/intolerances he came downstairs one morning and said "It's gone.
" The eyes looked fine, no redness, no runny nose.
He had a day at school and an evening on the golf course.
No problem.
Each day went by and I have to say I thought this is all too good to be true, but no symptoms returned.
We are now three and a half months down the line and he has had no sign of a return of these symptoms.
I had had experience of alternative healing therapies with some success before, but never such a dramatic and lasting result as this.
This positive outcome for my son led me to train to be an Allergy Testing and Elimination Practitioner.
