I resentaly went away for 3 days fishing and felt fantastic and full of energy ( i'm 56 years old ),But when I return home and entered the loft to tend to the birds the allergy hit me and I started feeling shit again ,reaching for the venaline and thinking this is krap I decieded to give up the pigeons,that was a month ago and so far I havn't experianced any shortness of breath or any other symptyms. It seems to me and having a few other mates that suffer the same allergy that as we get older is when it hits us the most,we are all over 50+ years. Not sure if I will go back to the birds in the future time will tell...............Cheers Robert..

It definitely is a root cause that can be treated and fix the problem, hopefully some smart guy will find the solution for all the fanciers.

I am a fellow fancier and what I've found to be the most helpful is to keep the body at a high level of health. I am a practitioner of Oriental Medicine, which has a 5,000 year history. It is one of the most effective healing modalities because it treats the root cause of the problem, and strenthens the whole body at the same time. How is it that only a fraction of fanciers are affected by this condition? There is an underlying reason why someone who had been smoking for 50 years and not develop any lung problems, yet someone who smokes for a few years develop a serious lung issue. Again, what causes this discrepancy? Oriental Medicine explains that some are born with naturally stronger bodies. For this discussion's sake, some are born with stronger lungs than others. So, what can one do to help with this condition? I would highly recommend consulting an Oriental Medicine practitioner in your area. If not possible, find yourself a golf ball and roll it under your feet. You see, the feet are microsystems, meaning a person's entire body is represented on the feet somewhere. By stimulating these specific points, one would essentially be strengthening the entire body. You will come across tender points, and this are the ones you would want to give more attention to. Google search "reflexology chart" on the internet to have a guide map. Also, the ears work the same way. The whole body can be strengthened by simply massaging the ears. Look up "auricular chart" and this should help you as well. These are just a few ideas. Just because modern medicine has no answers other than prescribe dangerous medications, it doesn't mean there's no hope. OM has been around for 5,000 years, while modern medicine for 200 years at the most. Please don't misunderstand me; I am not bashing modern medicine, but when it comes to preventative and non-surgical procedures there are much better ways than meds. I would be more than happy to help anyone interested in learning more about natural medicine. Feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help. Thanks.
