Covenant Natural Health Care

Autumn Allergies

Many things come with the change from summer to autumn. Cooler morning and evenings, earlier setting of the sun, falling leaves ... and fall allergies. It's just not pleasant being congested, having watery eyes, and a runny nose.

Common fall allergens:
• Ragweed
• Mold (common in the soil, piles of leaves, and compost piles)
• Other Weeds (lamb's quarter, mugwort sage, english plantain)

Did you know that natural allergy relief is possible? Accelerated Allergy Clearing Technique (AACT) can help greatly reduce or elminate allergies. Allergy symptoms can also be reduced or elimated by eating the right foods or avoiding foods you may be sensitive to. 

If your allergies are making your days miserable, call Covenant Natural Health Care (859-653-4932) and let us help you find safe and natural relief.

• Food safety false flag? USDA waited for people to die before recalling ground turkey it knew was contaminated: Adding yet more evidence to the proof that the U.S. government maliciously promotes dangerous food borne illness outbreaks rather than trying to prevent them, evidence has emerged today that the U.S. Department of Agriculture knew ground turkey produced by Cargill was widely contaminated with salmonella, yet it did nothing about it and waited for fatalities to occur. This breaking news has been published by the Wall Street Journal

• Natural Allergy Relief: Besides avoiding foods that may trigger your allergy, there are a number of foods that can be helpful for calming down allergy symptoms.

• Market Lighting Affects Nutrients in Salad Greens, Researchers Find: Many people reach toward the back of the fresh-produce shelf to find the freshest salad greens with the latest expiration dates. But a study led by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists may prompt consumers to instead look for packages that receive the greatest exposure to light--usually those found closest to the front.

• Is This Common Activity Poisoning You?: Widely used fragranced products, including those that claim to be "green", can give off chemicals not listed on the label. Some of these chemicals have been classified as toxic.

• South Korean Study Suggests Rate of Autism May Be Underestimated: In the first large-scale study of its kind, U.S. and South Korean researchers report that the rate of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may be significantly higher than previously thought, affecting as many as 1 in 38 children. The findings suggest that many youngsters may be going undiagnosed and untreated for the developmental disorder.

• Conventional farmers won't eat their own food: In this interview with organic vegetable farmed "Brad," he explains why conventional farmers won't eat their own products. Why? Because "they know what's in them!"

• New study: Nations requiring the most vaccines tend to have the worst infant mortality rates: For example, the United States requires infants to receive 26 vaccines -- the most in the world -- yet more than six U.S. infants die per every 1000 live births. In contrast, Sweden and Japan administer 12 vaccines to infants, the least amount, and report less than three deaths per 1000 live births.

• Plastics chemical in packaged foods linked to asthma in babies: BPA, also known as bisphenol-A, is a chemical compound often used in the production of a large variety of plastics. The widespread use of BPA has come under public scrutiny due to known connection to a host of health problems, including heart complications, cancer, neurological issues, diabetes and fertility and sexual issues.

• My New Warning: Avoid THESE Medical Treatments Whenever Possible: Americans' overall (declining) health and their access to state-of-the-art medical facilities factor into these exorbitant yearly health care expenditures. But a majority of these costs, when put under the microscope, clearly have more to do with promoting ever increasing corporate profits than with making Americans healthier. From government agencies like the FDA to the insurance empire, to health care providers and big pharma, the new primary goal of health care industry in the US has transformed into making money off of sick people.

• If You Can Never Seem to Get Truly Well, This Could Be Why...: This environmental medicine expert uncovers a frequent underlying cause of many persistent AND serious health issues - not only allergies, but cancer, diabetes, and thyroid disease, too.
