I used to suffer from really bad allergies and I started taking an all natural supplement and now I dont suffer from allergies at all. I have been on claritin, allegra, sudafed you name it and I tried it. None of these products were doing anything until I started taking this supplement. If you want to know more send me a PM and I will send you a link,

yes its not curable, i used to have dust allergies before but i didnt take any medicine coz i dont want to be dependent to any medicine unless im totally sick..
I always have oranges in my table.. and i eat them everyday... i also squeeze and drink them in pure without water or sugar... sometimes i squeeze some lemons.. as the doctor advised me to take more citrus if i dont like to take medicine coz it will boast up my immune system to fight against allergies or other common diseases..

unless you can replace the person's immune system, there is no way to "cure" allergies.
Allergies are not a "disease," its where the body has decided what should be a normal part of the environment is something that the body needs to be protected from - in your girlfriend's case, dust, in my case, many different kinds of foods.

most allergies are not truly cureable,but you can build up a tolerance to them.
they do have medicines for allergies,i would ask your local pharmacy to see what they have.i take benadryl for dust/pollen myself.
if it bothers her more at certain times of the day,you might want to get her a surgical mask to wear to try to block out the dust.

I have a nose allergy too... I can tell you it is painful... I'm allergy to animals hair, dust and in some certain places... sometimes even smokes...
I agree that it is not curable... I remember the doctor told me that all I could do was get rid of the animals, clean the house regularly,;avoid to go to places where a lot of people around; prescribes me some pills when I really cannot stand the itchy...
I have movec to a place that population is not as bad as wher eI live, my nose does feel better and I just cannot doanything with it, when it itches, I scratch it... really.

I have never heard that allergies are curable. I wish they were but I don't tink they are. I do know there are some things you can do to help like eating honey from that region. Suppossedly the bees make honey and when you eat it from the region in which you live it helps build up your immunities to the pollens and llergens in that area. I do not know if it would help concerning dust allergies though.

allergies can be cured by detoxifying the body, charcoal helps a lot. it will take about half a year of intense detox to get rid of severe allergies. another thing that should be done is immune enhancing products, for example mushroom extracts. my mom's allergies are almost gone now and just last year she had terrible allergies. she was taking the strongest meds and it wasn't enough, now it's almost gone.

I have had allergies allof my life and they are not curable, but over time they do change. The things I was allergic to 20 years ago are not all the same things I am allergic to now.
Allergy shots helps some people and I believe that they have helped me. I gave up on most of the over the counter stuff years ago, but then they made even more stuff over the counter, so now I do buy some.

i think that these things are avoidable but not curable and best way is to stay away from things that cause allergies.
