Hello,

To get to the root of the problem, you need to address your immune health. Currently, your immune system is being overwhelmed by allergens resulting in the allergic symptoms. Beta carotene/Vitamin A boosts immune health. Green vegetables such as collards, kale, spinach, and broccoli are good sources of beta carotene. Carrots, sweet potatoes, squash and romaine/green lettuce are also good sources of beta carotene. Your body is signaling through the allergic reactions that the immune system is in need of help and is deficient in its vitamin souce which produces its good health. Supplementing that deficiency with a one-a-day source of Vitamin A will help restore your immune health; especially in the case where a person is not receiving the natural source of the vitamin through their daily diet.

It may seem insensitive that the doctor recommended you quit your job; however, what he or she was actually saying is to remove yourself from the allergen environment. This is recommended because extended periods in an allergic environment worsen the condition and the body's ability to heal. It is true that many jobs will have some level of toxins in the environment; but they won't necessarily be as toxic as that of a warehouse that stores an abundance of toxic materials or chemicals. It is the overwhelming amount of toxins in your environment that's causing havoc to your immune system. You may want to consider wearing gloves and a mask (to cover your nose and mouth) when in that environment; especially when you're sweeping sawdust.

It is because I realize the need for employment that I've suggested the internal health of your body, which would restore balance to the immune system and produce a healthier response. Staying away from soft drinks and foods that are high in saturated fats or synthetic sugars will also go a long way in restoring health to your immune system. Drinking plenty of water and eating more fruits and vegetables promote the removal of toxins out of the blood stream and out of the body.

Addressing your immune health with good nutrition and taking the precautionary measures towards allergen contact (through the use of gloves and a face mask), will go a long way towards producing the good results that you desire without causing harmful side effects (as do some medications).
