It makes sense to me that they would also aid in the support of immune system against seasonal allergies.

I think it is what it is, a seasonal thing, I'm glad it doesn't last all year.

Otherwise they just become another buzz-word in a buzz friendly world. When allergies/diseases/conditions strike the human body...no salve, no medicine, no remedy, no herb, and no biotic can cure our bodies. ONLY the body can kill viruses and bacteria that attack it. Only the body. And the only way to ensure that your body can rise to the ocassion when bombarded with a plague, virus or bacteria is to be perfectly sure that (among eating right) that you have sufficient levels of oxygen in your blood cells. This is not anything new. This is old medicine. And it still works better than anything else out there. Lynne Probiotics are great…if they address what ails you.

EFA's and probiotics do help with general health, so I take from this the obvious, if you body is functioning well you reduce allergy response. Unfortunately I know many very healthy people who still have strong seasonal allergy responses. This was good, but not as helpful as the first 2.

I have been taking them for some time now, to aid in digestion, glad to hear this may help allergies as well. It seems like pro-biotics play a strong role in so many aspects of health.

It seems like this podcast just mentions general health steps, and doesn't really address any direct steps to help with seasonal allergies. Water is a good point I hadn’t thought about.

However, I can't help but think that there is nothing new under the sun, so-to-speak, because there is no real cure, and my concern is that many of these therapies and practitioners of such pursue an ideology that the patient is fully responsible for their lack of robust health, and that conveyed belief to a person not feeling well can negatively impact self-esteem. I think we must always hold out hope and work with people where they are. Incorporating healthy lifestyle systems into one's life is important, as is accepting certain conditions and then dealing with them in the most productive, positive way to enhance well-being.
