Does Cedar Fever Have You Down? It Doesn't Have To Be That Way!
Dr. George Best
It's cedar fever time again in South Texas. Mountain cedar pollen erupts from the trees and is spread all over the region, leading to cedar allergy sufferers experiencing congestion, irritated eyes, coughing, sneezing, and throat irritation. As the name "cedar fever" suggests, some also will run a low-grade fever due to the major inflammatory response their bodies generate in reaction to the high pollen levels.
>From December through February, mountain cedar season is most likely the hardest time of year for those with allergies living in the Austin, San Antonio, and Texas Hill Country area. With numerous cedar trees in the region each producing massive quanities of pollen, the majority of allergy treatments are rendered essentially useless - they simply are no match for the pollen.
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.
While there is no escaping the massive quantities of cedar pollen, except perhaps to live in a plastic bubble, there now is a method for alleviating cedar fever that works fast and is incredibly effective in most cases. This technique is rather strange, but for those who experience it, it's nothing short of magical.
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.
The desensitization effects manifest quickly, usually in about 24 hours. The effects also usually last for months or years. A single desensitization procedure will typically last for the whole cedar pollen season, and usually for many seasons to come - and that's without any additional treatment, ongoing medication use, or even any kind of supplements!
Most who undergo this type of allergy desensitization find that their cedar allergies become a thing of the past.
