For a long time I have really wanted to get a cat but haven’t been able to because my brother is mildly allergic (itchy watery eyes). Our family has been talking about it a lot lately, and were interested in allergy shots. After an appt. with an allergist we found that the costs are covered by our plan, although the side effect of the weekly shots is a 40% chance of getting asthma. How can I convince him to get the shots?!?!?

I have recently been diagnosed with a large amount of food allergies and the majority are healthy food items including soy and all legumes, peanuts, all nuts except almonds, rice, mustard seeds, sesame seeds, and a variety of other seeds, broccoli, turkey, cocoa beans, fish and seafood and this is just to the things I was tested for. It seems that most healthy cooking today includes one or more of these items and soy is found in everything. I am looking for some everyday great recipes that are healthy.

Sometimes I have slight asthma, but I believe that much of it is related to my allergy problem with mold, mildew, dust, weeds, etc. I have to take benadryl about everyday, and I sometimes get congestion in my sinuses and chest. Does decongestant help with preventing asthma at all? I have an inhaler available to take as needed, but don’t usually have very bad symptoms. It seems to come and go. Is this fairly normal?
