Seasonal Allergies Are Getting Worse Every Year

Little girl blows her noseHere are some natural ways to stop your body’s reaction and relieve your suffering!

According to the Harvard Health Letter, seasonal allergies are starting earlier every year, and pollen counts are rising. At least 36 million people are affected by seasonal allergies each year in the US.

Seasonal allergic rhinitis occurs when one’s immune system overreacts to foreign materials and produces an inflammatory response. Grass, weeds, and trees release tiny pollens into the air, and inhaling them triggers a reaction of your immune system. Floating pollutants such as mold spores and dust mite droppings also contribute (though in warmer climates, this can happen year round).

Uncovering what makes the immune system respond the way it does is important. One theory is that an excessive antigenic stimulus overwhelms the immune system, and this is what leads to an inflammatory response. In other words, a small amount of allergen may not be enough to cause symptoms, but continued exposure—or the exposure of number of different antigens—can lead to an overload of the system. This is magnified when one’s immune system is weak (which happens easily when one is tired or stressed or has recently been ill).

There are natural approaches to seasonal allergies that work well:

    Calm the allergic response. According to a study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, subjects who took 2600 mg of MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) found their upper and total respiratory symptoms significantly reduced within seven days, and improvement continued for all thirty days of the study. Also, as Dr. Mercola notes, MSM is 34% sulfur, which can help maintain optimal health. Sulfur helps the body detoxify itself, and helps produce glutathione, an important antioxidant. MSM is extremely safe and can be taken at high doses, even if one’s diet is full of raw vegetables and MSM-rich foods. Some of our staff have found complete relief from allergies with this product, but required higher daily doses than 2600 mg.
    Another substance that helps calm down the immune system under a pollen attack is the Alpine herb butterbur. In Scotland, researchers found that butterbur is effective. It can also be used in conjunction with MSM—the sulfur to condition the body, and the herb for acute attacks. Petadolex, a butterbur extract supplement, reduces inflammation so well that it can be used for migraines and other headaches too—it was endorsed as an OTC remedy for migraines by the Academy of Neurology and the American Headache Society after their review of 284 scholarly articles on the subject. Butterbur in the wild contains a potentially toxic substance, but Petadolex has removed it.
    Freeze-dried nettles and quercetin are also used to reduce allergic response. They both work—the former sooner, and the latter over time—but they typically reduce rather than eliminate symptoms. Antihistamine drugs were initially developed from quercetin. As is often the case, the drugs had serious side effects (such as drowsiness) while the natural product from which it is derived did not. Another natural product that shows promise is Carnivora, derived from the plant of the same name, although more research needs to be done.
    Remove food allergens (which lightens the antigenic load). As the Townsend Letter points out, allergic/inflammatory processes may first become active in the gut. Then transportation of food proteins across the intestinal wall becomes altered, resulting in increased permeability and motility of the intestine—Leaky Gut Syndrome. Coupled with other conditions, such as intestinal infections, flora imbalance, and decreased immunoglobulin A antibodies, this may lead to further intestinal compromise and increased antigen-immune interaction.
    Get acupuncture. Researchers had 442 people with seasonal allergies receive acupuncture treatments. After eight weeks of acupuncture, a 71% patients reported an improvement in their symptoms (according to a scale used to measure allergy symptoms, the severity of these patients’ symptoms decreased by an impressive 37%).

    Reduce general inflammation in the body. Eating lots of veggies with deep-water fish will decrease inflammation levels. Omega-3s from all sources can reduce inflammation as well. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, licorice, skullcap, cordyceps, and perilla have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties (though consult a TCM practitioner for guidance).

    Strengthen the immune system. At the head of our list is vitamin D3, which reduces the incidence of respiratory infections. Also get plenty of vitamin E and magnesium, and knock off the sugar, which greatly weakens the immune system. And don’t forget vitamin C: studies indicate it’s a natural antihistamine.
    Relieve congestion gently. Don’t forget neti pots—saline nasal irrigation—which may provide sinus pain relief for allergy sufferers. But you probably won’t need them if you have enough sulfur in your system.

How Does this Change My New Exercise Recommendations?

    It is important to recognize that life is a journey and we are constantly
growing and learning. I have been exercising for nearly 45 years and most of
that time it was FAR from ideal. It certainly helped me more than not
exercising but by failing to incorporate many sound foundational principles I
wasted loads of time and did not achieve a fraction of the benefits I could
have.

    One of my goals with this site it to share with you what I learn on my
health journey so hopefully you can avoid many of the mistakes I and others
make in an effort to achieve high-level health.

    I am very grateful to the many mentors in my life. With respect to
exercise, Dr. Ken Cooper is responsible for helping me make the lifelong
commitment to exercise. More recently Phil Campbell helped me to radically
improve my exercise with the concepts articulated in our Peak Fitness
Program.

    After doing Peak Fitness exercises three times a week for about a year I
gradually felt that it was too much for me and I reduced that to once a week,
which seemed to work out well.  When I interviewed Phil Campbell a second
time for this article, though, he made a compelling argument to increase Peak
Fitness workouts to three times a week, so you can get growth hormone
produced three times instead of once a week.

    Made sense to me so I bumped it back up to three times a week.
    However I had to reduce the intensity and back it down by about 5% or so,
as I was simply too fatigued between sessions. So instead of getting my heart
rate to 173 or so, it would be about ten less. Then I recently interviewed
Dr. Doug McGuff who is a strong proponent of Super Slow weight training to
achieve similar benefits that Phil discusses in this article.

    Dr. McGuff has a bit of a different take on using exercise to increase
growth hormone. He believes that you only need 12 minutes of Super Slow type
strength training once a week to achieve the benefits. I really enjoyed my
interview with him as he helped me appreciate a nagging truth that I hadn't
quite captured yet and that is the crucial nature of recovery integrated into
listening to your body.

Let Me Explain Further

    I have known the importance of recovery in exercise training for ages but
never applied it to what I have been teaching for an equally long time, which
is to Listen to Your Body when it comes to selecting foods.

    The epiphany I had with Dr. McGuff is that I wasn't applying the "Listen
to Your Body" principle with respect to my exercise program. When I grilled
him on parameters of what is the best way to know if you are recovered from
your exercise he said you would have a restless energy and feel like you have
to engage in some type of physical activity. You will just want to work out.

    Well that had not happened to me for some time as I believe I was pushing
myself too hard and had not allowed myself enough recovery time. I don't
believe this is a problem for most people who exercise, as they are more
likely not pushing themselves hard enough, but when you go to extremes as in
Peak Fitness high-intensity training programs, this is a serious risk you
need to pay careful attention to.

Putting it All Together

    So I am currently in a massive experimentation phase and playing with my
exercise program. I am doing Peak Fitness 2-3 times a week and also
incorporating some changes with my strength training. 

    Along with this I intend to do active isolated stretching on a daily
basis and do very specific strengthening exercises that are designed for
small muscles that are missed during virtually all traditional multi muscle
strength training exercises.  I will likely be exercising the same length of
time just breaking it up differently.  I suspect that will be more ideal for
me and I intend to report on my results as I seek to refine my program so you
can learn from it.

    I guess the lesson here to learn is that life is an exciting journey.

Learn as much as you can from your mistakes and continue to seek new
information from different mentors that you can apply and, here is the key,
learn to listen to your body so it can guide you into a path that will
provide you with the most efficient and effective benefits.

Thank You Dr. Mercola

Success From Fitness Exercises!

You Can Use Peak Fitness Principles for Strength Training, Too

You Can Use Peak Fitness Principles for Strength Training, Too

    Instead of using an elliptical machine three times a week, you can use strength training to get a Peak Fitness workout in too. This is another way to activate HGH while building up different areas in your muscles. The challenge of relying on any specific exercise, the elliptical or the recumbent bike, and so on is that your body adapts to that.

    You really want a comprehensive holistic approach for optimal benefits.

    Phil explains how to do this:

        "It's the same principle. You're applying the same principle of recruiting fast-twitch muscle fiber with strength training as you can with Sprint 8. Your body is trying to do things not to recruit fast-twitch fiber because your body thinks it's trying to help you get through all day by staying to slow-twitch fiber in the system. So if it's a push or press movement away from the center -- like the chest press, bench press, shoulder press, squat or any push or press movement away from the center of the body -- those muscles return loaded with fast-twitch fiber that a lot of times simply don't get worked.

        It's real simple to engage that muscle fiber.

        So if you come down like on a push-up or a chest press, pause and then explode out -- don't use momentum to come out -- just pause and then explode with velocity because you're getting an intensity of movement.

        Whether Sprint 8 or lifting weights, you get intensity from the matter resistance and the velocity of movement. So when you factor in a velocity of movement into that equation, you recruit fast-twitch fiber. … And so you get all three muscle fiber types in the same exercise if you do it that way. We recommend doing that on push or press movements. It's the way to observe your body. A great example would be triceps. Triceps are just loaded with fast-twitch fiber. Triceps press for the rope, for example, is a great way to work it. You let a pause, explode. Pause, explode."

How to Make Sure Your Growth Hormone Stays Optimized AFTER Your Workout

    Once you have gone through all the time, effort and energy of stimulating growth hormone release, there's an exercise recovery phase of two to three hours, where you have to be somewhat careful about what foods you choose to eat. If you aren't careful, then you could suppress the stimulus and you won't get that growth hormone benefits that you would have if you have been more careful with your diet.

    Specifically, in order to promote HGH release, you do need to restrict sugar intake post-exercise (although carbs can benefit those more interested in fast recovery, such as professional athletes).

    Phil explains:

        "What we recommend … is to get 25 grams of protein afterwards within that 30-minute golden window. There is a lot of research to support that, but there's also some research done by Dr. John Ivy of the University of Texas, a great researcher on a young cyclist who made recovery. They're not looking at growth hormone or maximizing growth hormone. They're trying to get to recover as quickly as possible so they can cycle several days in a row.

        They showed that getting a ratio of 4:1 carbs to protein is better for recovery … 4:1 starts recovery faster. If you're going after recovery, that's the best strategy … [if] you're not looking for growth hormone, that is. But on the other side, if your goal for most middle-aged adults and older is to maximize growth hormone to get this wonderful hormone circulating for that full two hours in the surging window for going after body fat (just about like you're doing cardio for two hours), you can do that.… if you throw too many carbohydrates in … then that releases the hormones called somatostatin. That, for whatever reason, just shuts down growth hormone. That's clear in the research."

    So it's important to avoid carbs, especially sugar or fructose-containing foods, in the two hours after your workout, and this includes sports drinks, to be sure you're getting the full HGH benefits.

    Now, instead of wasting hours and hours needlessly on slow cardio workouts, you can cut down the time, improve the benefits and improve the quality of your life by doing Peak Fitness exercises for 20 minutes, just three times a week. This is not only about longevity but the quality of your life! For more information, Phil has written a book called Ready Set Go. I strongly recommend picking up a copy of that book if you're interested in using high-intensity exercise to improve your health.

Peak Fitness Also Increases Your Endurance

    Another great facet of Peak Fitness is that it gives you both aerobic and
anaerobic benefits at the same time, essentially replacing the need to do
long, slow training. In fact, Phil points out that if you're trying to build
your endurance levels, replacing tedious distance workouts with Peak Fitness
is going to give you better results.

        "With long-slow cardio there's some benefits, but we know from the
sport sciences now that the best way to increase endurance capacity is
through hard, fast anaerobic training," Phil says.

        … There's a study … that shows you double endurance capacity with the
program very similar to Sprint 8, where you go on an all-cardio cycle for 30
seconds except they would rest for two-four minutes before they do another
one. Sprints 8, on the other hand, you only get an accurate recovery of a
minute and a half because we're trying to multitask an aerobic workout and an
anaerobic workout, where they would just look at endurance capacity. So
Sprint 8 is actually much more intense than this exercise protocol. But in
that protocol, they showed that you double endurance capacity three workouts
a week in two weeks' time."

Summary of a Typical Peak Fitness Workout

    Here's a summary of what a typical Peak Fitness routine might look like:

        Warm up for three minutes
        Exercise as hard and fast as you can for 30 seconds. You should feel
        like you couldn't possibly go on another few seconds
        Recover for 90 seconds
        Repeat the high intensity exercise and recovery 7 more times

    As you can see, the entire workout is only 20 minutes. Twenty minutes!
That really is a beautiful thing. And within those 20 minutes, 75 percent of
that time is warming up, recovering or cooling down. You're really only
working out intensely for four minutes. It's hard to believe if you have
never done this that you can actually get that much benefit from four minutes
of exercise. That's all it is.

    Keep in mind that you can use virtually any type of equipment you want
for this – an elliptical machine, a treadmill, swimming, even sprinting
outdoors (although you will need to do this very carefully to avoid injury)
-- as long as you're pushing yourself as hard as you can for 30 seconds. But
do be sure to stretch properly and start slowly to avoid injury. Start with
two or three repetitions and work your way up, don't expect to do all eight
repetitions the first time you try this, especially if you are out of shape.

    Phil states:

        "There are many different ways you could do Sprint 8. As long as you
can get totally exhausted in 30 seconds or less. That's the key. If you can't
go longer than 30 seconds -- no matter if you're a professional athlete or
just starting -- that means you're doing it correctly. It has to be so
intense that after 30 seconds, you're just praying for those last seconds to
go by … "

    Phil also mentioned that his study showed doing Peak Fitness on an
elliptical machine led to a higher release of growth hormone, and he suspects
that it is the most challenging type of equipment to use.

    One caveat: a treadmill may not be the best choice for Peak Fitness
because of the time it takes for the machine to adjust intensities. So
instead of the 30-second sprint, by the time the machine calibrates it will
only be 20 seconds.

    I really discourage people from using the treadmill because I don't
believe it is ideal due to lag time to adjust intensity levels and an
increased risk of falling off the equipment and injuring yourself. The
elliptical is probably close to the best in my opinion. But if you don't have
access to a gym or your own equipment, then you can improvise. You can use
virtually any type of cardio exercise, as long as you get your knees up and
your heart rate up, that's the key.

    I would strongly recommend that you invest in a chest strap heart rate
monitor to make sure your intensity is on target. If you are able to exceed
your calculative maximum heart rate, which is 220 minus your age, by five or
10 beats, then you know you have trained. And you really need to be accurate
within a few beats per minute to get the best results. There's a big
difference between 166 and 168, but you're not going to be able to calculate
that manually. You need an electronic version.

    If funds are limited and you can't join the gym or get a piece of
equipment, invest in a heart rate monitor. That's going to give you the
information you need to make sure you're doing the activity properly.

  Cardio Primarily Exercise

    Traditional strength training and cardio primarily exercise your slow
twitch muscle fibers. Your body kicks in these slow twitch muscles first,
in an effort to not recruit your fast twitch muscles, or work your heart
anaerobically.

    This is why you may not see results even though you spend an hour on
the treadmill a few times a week – you're basically denying the natural
physiology of your body by not working the other half of your muscle
fibers; your fast-twitch muscles.

    Phil states:

        " … the American Heart Association and the American College of
Sports Medicine, they have taken long-slow cardio and have taken it out
of the exercise guidelines and the reason is pretty clear. It just
doesn't work. It doesn't work both processes of your heart muscle,
aerobic process and anaerobic process. It doesn't work for your fast-
twitch fiber.

        To really work your cardiovascular system the way you should, I'm now
saying you do moderate-intensity cardio (which is still pretty intense) five
days a week for 30 minutes - or vigorous intensity cardio for 20 minutes,
three times a week. This is what Sprint 8 has been for years and years now."

You Should NOT do Peak Fitness Every Day

    I want to point out that even though Peak Fitness is, in my impression,
an essential, crucial element of any exercise training program -- it is NOT
something you should do every day, as your body requires more time to heal in
between sessions.

    Phil says:

        "We have to urge caution because research is pretty clear now: if you
do long and slow exercise, your muscle -- that's slow-twitch fiber -- can
heal pretty quickly in one day. But when you work fast-twitch fiber, whether
it's an NFL athlete, or me or anyone, it takes about 48 hours for that fast-
twitch fiber to truly heal back and totally recover. Sprint 8 is one of these
programs that you really don't want to do every day … we recommend three
times a week."

    The benefit of doing this program three times a week comes not only from
the way it works your fast and super-fast muscle fibers, but also the way it
increases your growth hormone with each session.

Each Peak Fitness Workout May Increase Your Growth Hormones by 771 Percent

    Human growth hormone is often referred to as "the fitness hormone." The
higher your levels of growth hormone, the healthier and stronger you will be.

Once you hit the age of 30, you enter what's called "somatopause," at which
point your levels of human HGH begin to drop off quite dramatically. This
decline of HGH is part of what drives your aging process, so maintaining your
HGH levels gets increasingly important with age.

       The longer you can keep your body producing higher levels of HGH, the
longer you will likely experience more robust health and strength. Some
athletes choose to inject it for this very reason, though it is a banned
substance in nearly every professional sport. I do not recommend injecting
HGH however, due to the potential side effects, the cost and, more
importantly, it is likely to cause more long-term harm than good.

Fortunately, your body produces HGH naturally when you exercise your super-
fast muscle fibers during vigorous, high-intensity exercise like Peak

Fitness.

    Phil explains:

        "You know, walking is a great thing, but it only works the aerobic
process of your heart muscle. It doesn't work the anaerobic process. It only
recruits your slow-twitch fibers. So those two other muscle fiber types are
meant to be used to exercise is necessary to release growth hormones.

        … If we look at the body and say, how do you want us to exercise?

When you do this – when you do Sprint 8 – it's almost like the result is
screaming this: When you do this, I release this hormone that's so powerful,
that if you're an Olympic athlete, your test goes positive for injecting
growth hormone. That's how significant Sprint 8 is when you look at growth
hormones."

    In fact, an eight-week study conducted by Phil and colleagues found that
a Peak Fitness session resulted in an average HGH increase of 771 percent!
This also translated to increased fat burning among the study participants.

Phil states:

        "At the end of the eight weeks, results were phenomenal. The average
body fat loss was 31 percent. Sprint 8 was designed to replicate the growth
hormone production, which in the average case increases 14.4 percent.

Basically, Sprint 8 in this one study on middle-aged workers shows that it's
twice as effective in body fat loss as injecting growth hormone."
