It’s hitting hard for me at the moment and it’s making me miserable. What do you do to combat the torture of allergies?

Small rant

Pollen allergies are why I really dislike Spring and Summer. I’d rather deal with a Winter cold than Spring/Summer allergies.

    People have always eaten plants. A lot of plants.

    I’d link to some some scientific papers but fuck Elsevier.

      Circling back to the top post of this thread - people have earnestly reported resolving seasonal allergies by eating zero carb. There could be lots of reasons for it :

      1. They could be lying
      2. They could be deluded/placebo effect
      3. They had a sensitivity to some food they were eating and removed it
      4. They had a sensitivity to a toxin/chemical/pollutant that was on the food they were eating, and removed it.

      In the 3/4 scenario something they were eating in today’s food environment was causing them to be sensitive to pollen. Our food environment is hugely different then even 100 years ago, so it’s hard to say what exactly is the cause, but we have reports that people eliminating many variables can resolve their issue. For the OP of this entire post that is useful information for them to have.

      People have always eaten plants. A lot of plants.

      No doubt, but was it 85% of their energy like it is today? Or just opportunistic in season? Regardless it’s off topic, the topic is allergies.

      I’d link to some some scientific papers but fuck Elsevier.

      If you have actually read a paper cover to cover, and are willing to discuss it indepth - I’d be happy to read it too and have a conversation.

      i like reading papers
