Breath 1-2-3 - Chinese Herbal Remedy for Allergy Relief Allergies are inappropriate bodily responses to a normally harmless environmental substance, such as dust or pollen. These substances, known as allergens, combine with a protein in the body to become antigenic. Allergic reaction occurs only after re-exposure of the individual to the allergen. Allergic reactions can range from mild, though annoying, reactions to severe and even fatal reactions. Pollen allergy is a condition marked by abnormal allergic physiological reactions which occur when the human body breathes or comes into contact with pollen. Pollen allergies can be found in people throughout the world. At present there are no medicines which can directly check the adverse effects from repeated pollen allergy attacks. Some people must endure repeated onslaughts of pollen allergy symptoms such as coughing, running nose, sneezing, and tearing. For these people the great suffering can ruin their quality of life. Allergic reactions are not new to modern man. Although there were no recorded cases of pollen allergy in the early annals of Chinese medical history, other conditions including allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, and allergic tracheitis are recorded. Modern medical science has proven that the basic cause of these illnesses is allergic reaction. In the interest of remedying this problem, Dr. Chong Lian Jin, director of the Beijing Chaoyang District Red Cross Hospital, has researched and developed a regimen that embodies ancient Chinese techniques as well as the best of Western medicine.

Today, one out of every three Americans uses some form of alternative medicine, either along with their conventional ("standard," "traditional") medications or in place of them. One of the most controversial-as well as one of the most popular-alternatives is homeopathy, a wholly Western invention brought to America from Germany in 1827, nearly forty years before the discovery that germs cause disease. Homeopathy is a therapy that uses minute doses of natural substances-minerals, such as mercury or phosphorus; various plants, mushrooms, or bark; and insect, shellfish, and other animal products, such as Oscillococcinum. These remedies mimic the symptoms of the sick person and are said to bring about relief by "entering" the body's "vital force." Many homeopaths believe that the greater the dilution, the greater the medical benefit, even though often not a single molecule of the original substance remains in the solution.In Copeland's Cure, Natalie Robins tells the fascinating story of homeopathy in this country; how it came to be accepted because of the gentleness of its approach-Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow were outspoken advocates, as were Louisa May Alcott, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Daniel Webster. We find out about the unusual war between alternative and conventional medicine that began in 1847, after the AMA banned homeopaths from membership even though their medical training was identical to that of doctors practicing traditional medicine. We learn how homeopaths were increasingly considered not to be "real" doctors, and how "real" doctors risked expulsion from the AMA if they even consulted with a homeopath.At the center of Copeland's Cure is Royal Samuel Copeland, the now-forgotten maverick senator from New York who served from 1923 to 1938. Copeland was a student of both conventional and homeopathic medicine, an eye surgeon who became president of the American Institute of Homeopathy, dean of the New York Homeopathic Medical College, and health commissioner of New York City from 1918 to 1923 (he instituted unique approaches to the deadly flu pandemic). We see how Copeland straddled the worlds of politics (he befriended Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, and Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, among others) and medicine (as senator, he helped get rid of medical "diploma mills"). His crowning achievement was to give homeopathy lasting legitimacy by including all its remedies in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938.Finally, the author brings the story of clashing medical beliefs into the present, and describes the role of homeopathy today and how some of its practitioners are now adhering to the strictest standards of scientific research-controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical studies.About Natalie RobinsNatalie Robins is the author of eight books, including Savage Grace (cowritten with Steven M. L. Aronson), for which she received the Edgar Allan Poe Award; Alien Ink: The FBI's War on Freedom of Expression,
