Allergies can create some pretty uncomfortable symptoms for many people in September and October. We are reminded of this once again as we have already begun to see the runny nose, scratchy throats and bronchial inflammation  in those close to us.

The power of integrative and natural medicine techniques is often realized in the use of several well placed modalities at one time and seasonal allergies is one of those situations.

Seasonal allergy symptoms can be successfully remedied through the power of contemporary homeopathy and highly effective nutritional combinations.

Our favorites in the homeopathy arena are the Allergy Regional Formulas by SafeCareRx and Allergiplex by UNDA. The Allergy Regional Southern Formula by SafeCare Rx is the most indicated here in the Southeast offers attenuations of specific plant antigens as well as symptom relief through classical homeopathic remedies. For other parts of the US please see our region specific formulas.

These formulas can excel in helping you to manage their symptoms without the side effects of medications.

By adding well designed and effective nutritional and herbal support such as Innate Response’s Allergy Response or DaVinci Labs Aller DMG you can add another dimension of support. DMG adds broad precursor based methylation support for immune modulation that supports MTHF, SAMe, Glutathione and more. DMG helps to modulate the immune system as well as having nervous and cardiovascular system effects.

Systemic Proteolytic Enzyme support can also be added to help degrade circulating immune complexes especially in the lungs with Anova Health’s Serrapeptase Complete which incorporates a preferred time release delivery system.

Serrapeptase is indicated whenever there is a build up of mucous in the lungs. If you tend to produce mucous in general,remember that grain and dairy products can create mucous in many individuals. By eliminating dairy and grains for a few days and then re-introducing them into your diet again you can determine whether you may want to dramatically reduce or eliminate these foods.

GENESTRA BRANDS HMF Fit for School includes a combination of research-driven probiotic strains and vitamin C that helps to support upper respiratory tract health and immune function in children.

Our NEW ProMed Whey Complete

What do YOU reach for when when it comes to protein supplementation?

Whey protein is a complete protein that is fast and easy to digest and is now being used by bodybuilders, athletes, casual exercisers and those desiring the benefits of an increased level of efficient protein, immune support and glutathione levels.

Anova Health is excited to announce our new MedPro Whey Complete offering you and the highest quality and minimally processed whey from NEW Zealand grass fed cows. MedPro Whey Complete delivers an exceptional quality product with amazing benefits at an affordable cost. MedPro Whey Complete is now available in three great tasting flavors including Vanilla, Chocolate and Berry and is on sale at 10% off for the month of September.
MedPro Whey Complete has additional health benefits with the addition of Fibersol-2 which has been proven to improve blood lipid and sugar levels for additional glycemic and fat control beyond ordinary food fibers.
Whey protein is a “complete protein” that is fast and easy to digest. Whenever we eat a protein source, our body uses the 20 amino acids (which are the individual components of “protein”) to repair our bones, muscles, organs and virtually every body part and tissue in the human body. When a source of protein has all 9 essential amino acids, which are amino acids your body needs to get from food, that food is said to be a complete protein. Foods like meats, dairy, eggs and rare grain proteins such as quinoa are complete proteins. On the other hand, most vegetables, rice and starches are not complete proteins because they are missing one or more of the essential amino acids. Not only do foods have different amino acid profiles, but the rate at which the protein is absorbed by your body can vary. Of the different measures of protein absorption, one of the most popular is Biological Value (BV). Whey protein just so happens to have the highest score possible with a Biological Value of 100. This means that whey protein contains all the amino acids needed to make a complete protein and is very easily digested by your body.While no supplement can replace a diet of whole, natural, unprocessed foods, whey protein can be useful for people with a very busy, on-the-go lifestyle as a supplement to their normal diet. The benefits of a high-quality whey protein supplement range from purely aesthetic to health preserving.

Here is a small list of 10 benefits that have been associated with whey protein supplementation:

Weight Loss
Assists in increasing in muscle mass
Increase in glutathione levels (your body’s main water-based anti-oxidant)
Decrease in HIV symptoms
Assist in maintenance of already health triglyceride levels
Assist in maintenance of already healthy total cholesterol levels while increasing HDL (good cholesterol)
Increase in immune system function form naturally occurring immunoglobulins
Support for sports performance and injury repair
Decreased recovery time and symptoms of over-training
Nutritional support in wasting disease conditions such as HIV and cancer.
