The true problem with seasonal allergies is not histamine as we have been trained to think. It is actually the immune system. Much like how our body’s immune system responds to viruses, it undergoes the same response to allergens such as pollen, pet dander, mold and more.
For people with seasonal allergies, your immune system has identified it as a foreign entity that must be attacked and removed. This immune response is a natural reaction and favorable. But sometimes the immune system “overreacts” and creates unnecessary inflammation by releasing too many inflammatory mediators and recruiting excessive help from the immune system.
The secret to seasonal allergy control is in balancing the immune response. Balancing the immune response in the right way can make all the difference. This can be achieved with natural ingredients:
1. Butterbur
Acts by stabilizing an important immune cell called the Mast Cell. Mast cells contain a lot of inflammatory medications such as interleukins, prostaglandins, cytokines and histamine. Butterbur standardized to petasins have shown in clinical studies to be very effective at stabilizing the cell membrane and limiting the release of these highly inflammatory chemicals.
2. Apigenin
Often overlooked but so important in the moderation of the immune response for allergies. This ingredient is found in high concentrations in parsley and celery. Its specific action is balancing T helper cells. T helper cells are divided between TH1 and Th2. An imbalance in T helper cells can lead to worse allergy symptoms. Apigenin restores this balance in your body.
3. Andrographis
This ayurvedic herb has a long history of showing benefit for immune support. Andrographis is also a powerful ingredient for inflammation. Highly standardized Andrographis promotes healthy breathing pathways quickly.
4. Rosmarinic Acid
Derived from the rosemary plant, this ingredient when used in its purest form can have a significant impact on histamine. Rosmarinic acid is best used in combination with other herbs when using it for seasonal allergies.
5. Quercetin dihydrate
Very beneficial for controlling both histamine formation and release. It also has some benefits for stabilizing Mast cells. Quercetin alone is not very effective for seasonal allergies but when paired with other immune support ingredients, it can be very effective. It is important to know that not all quercetin are equal in absorption. Quercetin dihydrate has very good absorption characteristics (up to 80%) in the GI system compared to traditional Quercetin which is only 5% absorbed into the body.

]]>In this article, I explain the various types of allergy triggers, characteristics of common allergy symptoms and how to best manage them using natural remedies.
The type of environmental allergies depends on the climate you live in. In drier climates, more pollen is produced, often spreading by wind. Seasonal allergies also stick around longer in warmer climates. The warmer the climate, the longer the allergy season.
Tree pollen is the biggest allergy trigger in the spring. Some trees can pollinate in late February or in early March. Depending on the tree you are allergic to, symptoms can run from February to May.
Summer allergies can look similar to fall allergies but are caused by different pollen—mostly grass and weed pollen.
During the Fall, there are three predominant allergens: ragweed, mold and dust mites. Ragweed is the biggest allergy trigger in the fall with it’s of release pollen occurring with cool nights and warm days that can last well into September and October. Mold is also more prevalent in the fall due to the rain and damp leaves on the ground.
Seasonal Allergy symptoms can manifest in different ways and severity depending on an individual’s immune system sensitivity. Below are some of the most common symptoms caused by seasonal allergies:
1. Itching
Itchiness occurs when mast cells, a type of white blood cell in your body, release a chemical called histamine. Itching can be localized in specific areas like the eyes, nose, or skin, or generalized, depending on the region of the body exposed to an allergen.
2. Dry cough
Throat irritation from post-nasal drip causes a characteristic dry cough correlated with allergies. Postnasal drip is the flow of accumulated fluid and mucus from the back of the nasal cavity down into the throat.
3. Wheezing
Wheezing is a whistling sound heard most often in asthmatics or those with hypersensitive airways. The inflow of respiratory allergens causes the release of fluids and mucus that accumulates and blocks small airways in the lungs.
4. Runny nose
Inhaled airborne allergens trigger the production of fluids in the nose that accumulates and drains out of the nose. The nasal secretions are often clear but may appear mucoid.
5. Sneezing
This is a reflex response because of foreign bodies like pollens, dust, and other air particles in the nose. Sneezing serves as a defense mechanism to expel inhaled airborne allergens, which are nasal irritants.
6. Swollen eyes
Allergens exposed to the eyes stimulate a local inflammatory reaction together with tissue swelling in the eyes. In some people, this may be associated with teary eyes, which is the body’s way to flush out foreign particles in the eyes.
7. Sore throat
Inhaled allergens cause the production of fluid and thick mucus, which collects in the nose and flows down into the throat, leading to throat pain.
8. Red eyes
The local inflammatory reaction in the eyes increases blood flow, which appears as eye redness and eye discomfort.
9. Headaches
A classical dull headache may occur when inflammatory fluid and mucus block nasal sinuses, which are air spaces in the skull.
The true problem with seasonal allergies is not histamine as we have been trained to think. Check out my second article in this series, which discusses the Key to seasonal allergies and what can be achieved with natural ingredients.

As our children head back to school this year, we are facing new challenges of how to keep our children healthy and well. In addition to the usual parent stresses of making them a healthy lunch, adequate sleep and getting them up on time to the bus, we now have to wrestle with the concerns of COVID and all of its kissing cousins Delta, Epsilon, Lambda and many others yet to appear.
As a father of three teenage children, I share your concerns and burden on keeping my children safe, healthy, and immune strong. Here are a few my Pharmacist Pro Tips for keeping your little one’s immune system healthy and well.
There is just no substitute for good, quality sleep. This is why I put it first on the list. Insufficient sleep can significantly impact your child’s immune system.
Studies have shown, less than 7 hours of sleep can increase your risk of a cold infection by 3-fold. Furthermore, children need a lot more sleep than adults. Depending on their age, children sleep requirements range between 8-12 hours of sleep per night.
Develop a bedtime routine that will yield 8 or more hours of sleep. Having trouble sleeping? Check out my Pharmacist Dosing Recommendations for Melatonin.
Exercising for 20-30 minutes or more per day not only improves your mental health and overall focus but has a positive impact on your immune system. When you exercise, you help flush bacteria and toxins out of the lungs and airways reducing your chance of getting a cold, flu, or other illness. Exercise also helps increase white blood cell circulation (WBC), the body's immune system cells that fight disease.
Make sure your child is involved in a sport or exercise of some kind so they are getting this important immune strengthening activity. Another option is to schedule a study break later in the evening and go on a 20 minute walk with them.
Exercise strengthens the immune system! Make it a routine to walk for 20 minutes after family dinner.
Kids will be kids. Which means they love to connect and interact with their environment by touching things. Be it a toddler who explores the world by putting everything in their mouth or the teenager who is too forgetful or stubborn to wash their hands. Poor hand hygiene is still a major source of infection.
This topic undoubtedly has been covered a zillion times before, so I will keep this to the point. My Pharmacist Pro tip is to use soap and water to clean the hands for 20 seconds whenever possible. If that is not available, the next best option is to use a hand sanitizer containing 60% ethyl alcohol. Anything less that 60% does not provide the antibacterial/anti-viral power to properly clean the hands.
Keep a small bottle of 60% hand sanitizer in your car or bookbag for when soap and water is not near by.
Simply stated, you are what you eat. Or perhaps a more relevant analogy would be, the healthier the food, the healthier your immune system. Your body needs the proper fuel to function well. And your immune system is no exception. While this article is not intended to cover all aspects of a proper diet, there are some foods that are more beneficial to your immune system.
Add these Foods to Your Diet for a Healthier Immune System
Perhaps the question I get asked most often is which supplements are best for my child's Immune Health. Assuming your kids are like mine in that they skip a meal, eat fast food, get inadequate amounts of sleep (who doesn’t) or all of the above, then supplementation can help bridge those gaps when life gets a little too hectic. There are supplements that work best when taken “long term” and there are other supplements that are for “Immediate” need. Below are my recommendations for each category.
These supplements are intended to be taken daily to support proper immune function. They are not very useful once your child is sick.
Every back-to-school season presents challenges on how to keep our children healthy and well. But the 2021-22 school year presents brand-new challenges families have never had to face before. As an immunology expert, pharmacist and a father, I hope my Pharmacist Pro Tips help to keep your family's immune system healthy and well.

Sleep is a critical component to a strong immune system and according to a Cleveland Clinic study, melatonin may help prevent or treat COVID-19 thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. "Researchers found that melatonin reduced the likelihood of study participants getting COVID-19 by 28%. Among Black participants — a population disproportionately affected by the disease — infection likelihood was reduced by 52%."
As a pharmacist with expertise in immunology and natural remedies, I am often asked about Melatonin. So I’ve put together a quick list of Top 5 QUESTIONS and ANSWERS ABOUT MELATONIN before you start this powerful remedy.
Melatonin is a natural hormone primarily that regulates the sleep–wake cycle. The pineal gland will release this hormone in the late evening causing you to feel sleepy and initiate the sleep cycle.
Melatonin levels will reach their peak sometime between 2 am and 4 am.
**Do not drive or use machinery for four to five hours after taking melatonin.**
Melatonin is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth, short-term. Recommended doses are 3 mg per day in children and 5 mg per day in adolescents. See below for more details on dosing.
Melatonin's primary function is to help regulate night and day cycles or sleep-wake cycles. Darkness will trigger your body to produce more melatonin and signal the body for sleep. Exposure to light will have the opposite effect and decrease melatonin production. Some people who have trouble sleeping have low levels of melatonin and supplementing with Melatonin tablets can help improve sleep.
There are several indications and doses where using Melatonin could be beneficial. I will cover the uses and doses where it has been shown to be the most beneficial. *

As a pharmacist for over 20 years, I have extensively studied the history of Andrographis, the scientific research and data from clinical trials and meta-analyses. To help people understand more about Andrographis, I've put together my Pharmacist Pro Tips on Andrographis.
For effectiveness, Andrographis should be standardized to its most potent constituent, Andrographolide. Andrographolide is the component in the plant that holds immune boosting properties. It has been studied for effectiveness against various viruses, such as cold and flu.
At Hybrid Remedies, we use the purest version of Andrographis in both HybridCR Rapid Immune Defense and HybridAR Rapid Nasal and Sinus Support for maximum efficacy. Our Andrographis is 50% standardization, which means that 50% of Andrographis included in our ingredients is powerful and potent Andrographolide.
Not all supplements are created equal. Take the time to study quality and reputable brands.
Some Andrographis supplements include less potent parts of the plant such as stem, leaf or flower. While these parts are natural and come from the Andrographis plant, they do not hold the same level of immune boosting properties as found in standardized Andrographolide.
In addition, lower quality supplements will contain fillers such as Magnesium Stearate and Silica.
Select a reputable brand that has an established history of quality AND incorporates research and thorough testing in all of their products.
At Hybrid Remedies, we use only the purest form of Andrographolide and our products are free of Magnesium Stearate, Silica and Dyes.
Learn More about our All Natural Ingredients.
The clinical trial in Thailand, found that when Andrographolide was started within 3 days of a positive COVID test and used for 3 days, it had significant impact on the virus.
This is exciting data! We now have a clinical trial showing that this natural remedy has an effect on COVID-19. Andrographis is an herb that is readily available to us. While there are other prescription drugs and vaccines on the horizon, they are not readily available to all of us. If you are looking to naturally support your immune system against viruses, including COVID-19, make sure Andrographis is part of your regimen.

]]>What's BETTER than Claritin®?
After 3.5 years of research and development, I formulated HybridAR Rapid Nasal & Sinus Support - a natural remedy that can replace these OTC drugs with fast, effective relief to seasonal allergy symptoms.
Here are my Top 3 Reasons HybridAR BEATS Claritin®.
Butterbur is an herb often used for Asthma and Migraines. It works specifically to control mast cells. Mast Cells are found in connective tissue and, when triggered by an allergen, they release histamines, cytokines and Leukotrienes.
National Geographic named Butterbur as the "Best All-Around Allergy Stopper" in their 2018 "Nature’s Best Remedies" issue.
Claritin® treats only histamines. It does not provide comprehensive treatment for persistent, daily allergy symptoms.
Histamines are only one piece of the complex factors that cause allergy symptoms. Allergies are really about your Immune System!
A two capsule dose provides fast, effective nasal and sinus support in just 20 minutes (Yes...that fast!). Continue with a single capsule a day for all day benefit during allergy season.
HybridAR is the first and only natural remedy that is once daily dosing. It's time to take back the outdoors with confidence and breathed better with HybridAR Rapid Nasal & Sinus Support!

]]>Halloween is a fun event for adults and kids alike. And while we are concerned about cold, flu and COVID, it’s important to let kids be kids.
Kids' imagination and creativity and belief in who they are come from pretending to be someone different. And dressing up as a witch, pirate or superhero allows that opportunity for them to grow in self confidence.
Halloween is the one holiday we can pretend to be someone totally different. It’s also an opportunity to interact with our neighbors and the community in a positive and loving way.
One of the things that can impact our health and Immune system is how we perceive our self-worth and overall happiness.
Studies have shown pessimistic people or people with depression have a much higher chance of catching a cold then positive people do.*
Happiness equals Immune Strength.
Letting your children foster their imagination and express their inner superhero is one of the best things you can do for their health and wellness.
Yes, COVID is still a concern and high-risk individuals should take extra precautions. But children had been extremely resilient to COVID. It’s time we promote immune strength and let kids be kids again.*
It's important to recognize that spreading any virus is a serious concern for some families. So if you live in a neighborhood, consider organizing a system that allows neighbors to do what's best for their families and health as it relates to COVID.
The Orange Ribbon
One neighborhood in the Atlanta area established set hours (5:30-8:30pm) for trick or treating. A volunteer delivered orange ribbons to each house. An orange ribbon tied or attached to a tree or mailbox in front of their indicates that trick or treaters are welcome.
Homes that don't want visitors can simply discard the ribbon.
A simple system like this can allow families to enjoy Halloween this year in the way that is best for their families' health and well-being. Of course, there is also the old-school way of letting fellow parents know you are not open for trick or treaters by just turning off the front door light. Seems to work most of the time!
Stay Immune Strong
I think we can all agree, now more than ever before it is critical for us all to Stay Immune Strong! For more tips on staying immune strong, check out my Top Tips for Staying Immune Strong blog post with video and infographic.
