Dr. Christopher's Immucalm Powder 16 oz.

I've had severe hayfever my whole life, and when the wind blows or I do anything dusty (in Arizona), I suffer for days. Runny itchy eyes and nose and nonstop sneezing for about 3 days once it starts, even if I stay inside and shower every day. A lot of times it starts on its own after I get up in the morning (Personally I think it is largely due to the desert molds and fungus spores that are in all the dust and dirt - inside the house and out!). I had heard of people curing food allergies with this stuff and I decided it was worth the money several times over if it works, so I did what someone else suggested - take 24 capsules (I took a tablespoon mixed in a glass of water) when it starts, then again every half hour after that until symptoms go away. I kept record of how many times I took it each day for the two month period I was home in Arizona for the summer.For the first month, I averaged about 3x a day, with most days only requiring 2 doses. Shortly after the second dose my nose would stop running and the rest of my symptoms would go away to the point I would forget about it, for the rest of the day. Even allergy medication doesn't work that reliably for me. I did have to take it every day, but I was getting into dusty stuff doing cleaning all that month. There were a few days I had to take up to 5 doses, but in the end it worked. There were a couple days it never went away and I gave up after about 7 doses, but I think my symptoms for those days were actually due to a cold that was going around... There were a few days the next month I took it once or twice, but mostly just the first half of the month. I didn't take it at all the second half. It is possible the slow-down was mainly because I wasn't as exposed to dust, as I had already done most of my cleaning, but even if that's the case and the reduction in allergies wasn't permanent like the food allergies I had heard about before (I'll have to wait 'til I go home again for awhile to know for sure), it was definitely still worth it. Also, the feeling of relief is better, more natural. When I take allergy medication it feels mechanical/forced. My nose dries up, but it still doesn't feel normal. When I take this, the symptoms just kind of go away and it feels normal and good.To those worried about dosages, Dr. Christopher said to take an amount proportional to the severity of the attack. Since this stuff is basically food (as with many herbs) it is difficult to overdose. One tablespoon is equivalent to about 22 size 0 capsules, so that was convenient. Normal recommended daily dose, as with basically all of his herbs, is 2 capsules 3x a day. Mixing bulk powder in water is a great way to take it because it's cheaper, and the flavor is not unpleasant. It's very mild and lightly sweet, though a bit... slimy perhaps? Probably because marshmallow is a mucilaginous herb.

This is pry the most expensive Dr Christopher product that I have came across, but it is certainly worth the money.I have really bad interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome) and this product has been absolutely nothing short of amazing.No more frequent urination.No more severe pain.No more burning.It is also helping my Hashimotos thyroiditis.Within a day or significantly shrunk my enlarged thyroid.For two days I had to use the bathroom constantly because I was holding a lot of fluids, and this helped me pass all the fluid I have been holding onto.This really is a fantastic product.Everyone around me was also getting the flu.Sick for a week.I was only sick for one day.EDIT 5/29/2023I quit using it, as I have issues with discipline and staying with a product long term.I’m currently using it again for what turns out wasn’t interstitial cystitis but mast cell activation syndrome!On 5tbsps a day for a week and for the first time in years I can tolerate being out in the heat!Hot weather actually feels good on my body!No longer burns!I would come close to anaphylaxis on a 65 degree cool weather with some sun, where now I am able to come outside in 85 degree weather and tolerate it better than those around me!I thank the school and I thank dr Christopher for all he did when he was alive, as well as his son and family for keeping the school around, and I thank GOD for leaving us with such fantastic healing herbs!

I use it for Lupus. Calms my flares.

Outstanding product, ragweed symptoms gone in 48 hours. I will re-order!
