Cedar Fever Symptoms? You Don't Have To Suffer Anymore!By: Dr. George Best

Once again it is cedar fever season - the time in South Texas when the mountain cedar trees erupt in pollen. If you have allergies and you've been experiencing a lot more congestion, coughing, sneezing, and red, irritated eyes, you can probably blame it on the cedar. Some people may also run a low grade fever because cedar allergies can be severe enough to cause a lot of inflammation which can show up as a slight fever.

In the Austin, San Antonio, and Texas Hill Country regions, mountain cedar pollen is produced in huge quantities from December through February. For those who suffer from cedar allergies, even the allergy remedies that work most of the time are simply no match for the massive amounts of pollen produced by the numerous mountain cedar trees in the area.

This time of year, a common segment on the local news will show someone shaking a cedar branch and producing a cloud of the dusty pollen. The fine grains of pollen are blown from the trees and carried all over the region by the strong, gusty winds that are normal for this time of year. Cedar pollen counts can go so high that they actually go beyond the pollen charts and the pollen begins to register as an air pollutant. It's no surprise that this is a tough time of year for people with allergies.

You can't avoid the cedar pollen, but fortunately there's a new way to eliminate cedar fever. This method is painless, fast, amazingly effective, and the effects can last for years from a single office visit. It may seem a bit strange, but the results speak for themselves for those who experience it.

Basically, it is possible to stimulate the body's acupuncture meridians in a very specific way - without needles, I might add - to desensitize the body to cedar fever. There are a few variations of this approach, but they all use some type of acupuncture/acupressure stimulation to re-set the body to not react to cedar pollen (or other allergens depending on what the individual is being desensitized to). In my office, I use what is called "cold" laser to stimulate the acupuncture points, and it allows for fast treatment that is completely painless. In fact, other than the laser wand touching the points, there is no sensation at all, which makes it a very patient-friendly, even to young children.

Desensitization of allergens with this method typically works within about a day and the effects last for several months to several years. Just one desensitization procedure will usually last for not only the entire mountain cedar pollen season, but for many seasons to come. These effects are achieved without the need for any follow-up treatment, without the use of allergy medication, and without even taking any kind of supplements or other remedies!

Most who undergo this type of allergy desensitization find that their cedar allergies become a thing of the past.

Feel Good Fun

Feel Good FunBy: Anaya Erika

As a nasal allergy sufferer, Tutera knows first-hand how something unexpected, like nasal allergy symptoms, can ruin a backyard barbecue or a birthday bash. "For my events, I always take nasal allergy symptoms into consideration because they are a party-pitfall that can easily be avoided."

By following Tutera's simple tips, any party host or guest can help prevent nasal allergy symptoms from affecting the party experience.

Location, Location, Location

When looking into venues, there are a few things to consider that will keep your party sizzling and keep your guests with nasal allergies from suffering.

For indoor parties, make sure carpets, drapes and upholstered furniture are well vacuumed prior to the event to prevent dust mite accumulation. While you may think your four-legged friend is good party entertainment, it's best to keep pets in a separate room during the festivities, as pet dander can also trigger nasal allergy symptoms.

If an outdoor hot spot tops your list, host a beach bash over a park party-a sandy beach provides less exposure to allergens compared to a grassy area.

Setting the Scene

To decorate a party scene, Tutera recommends using a simple floral arrangement that adds color and texture to the event.

"Remember that some flowers are more prone to cause nasal allergy symptoms than others," said Tutera. "Use large, brightly colored flowers like roses for party accents, as their pollens are less likely to trigger nasal allergy symptoms."

Other allergy-friendly decorating options include unscented candles or dried flowers, which can be great table pieces. And for those on a budget, Tutera recommends checking out your local farmer's market for fresh flowers that cost less than you'd think.

Treating Your Nasal

Allergy Symptoms

Even for the host with the most, it's impossible to keep every allergen off the guest list. Tutera recommends hosts and partygoers with nasal allergies visit a doctor who can prescribe an appropriate treatment for their symptoms.

"Many of my patients are concerned with the way nasal allergy symptoms affect them in social settings like parties. To help treat nasal allergy symptoms, I prescribe an intranasal steroid," said Dr. Matthew Clarke, a board-certified family and occupational medicine physician in private practice in New York City.

Intranasal steroids, which are available for adults and children, include NASONEX® (mometasone furoate monohydrate) Nasal Spray, 50 mcg (calculated on the anhydrous basis).

"By planning ahead and controlling your nasal allergy symptoms prior to an event, you can enjoy the celebration without worrying about your symptoms," said Tutera.

NASONEX® is approved to treat nasal allergy symptoms in patients as young as 2 years of age. Take regularly, as effectiveness depends upon regular use. Maximum treatment effect is generally reached within 1 to 2 weeks. NASONEX is the only once-daily prescription intranasal steroid clinically proven to help prevent most seasonal nasal allergy symptoms in adults and children 12 years of age and older when NASONEX® is started 2 to 4 weeks prior to allergy season. NASONEX® is also the first and only intranasal steroid approved for the treatment of nasal polyps in adults 18 years of age and older. Side effects were generally mild and included headache, viral infection, sore throat, nosebleeds and coughing.
