This is what I'm trying. I found out the hard way not all honey is real honey. Some sold me sugar water. So I buy from my neighbors who raises bees. Plz make sure yall buying real honey. It's the best ever. 🙏🏾

What a high point in my day!! You connected the dots for me AND you are 100% correct (in my case). By maintaining high health by being completely gluten free, dairy free, fermentation free and high histamine food free, sugar free (mostly) 😀 and plant based. I live in SW FL where the tropical weather is allergy central. The difference between before the diet changes and after is INCREDIBLE for allergies and life in general. Thank you!!
Another thing to add your list of elimination, sugar- especially processed bleach and modified. I switched to honey, raw sugar, naturally sweet food. That alone made a huge difference, not only allergies but also whole variety of health issues.
Absolutely! Sugar, or rather added processed sugar, is bad. Naturally occurring sugars not so much usually because the food that contains it is a higher fiber food.
Just caught the "Stinging Nettles" vid, and I have to say, I've been promoting this plant for many years for allergy relief. I also, did not expect the haircut....."Almost cut my hair today..." Thanks for the great info!
Saw Adam’s Stinging Nettle video over a yr ago and have been drinking infusions with ours daily in Spring & through summer to mid Fall. I want to dry drying a winter supply this yr but don’t want to damage the nutrient content. Yesterday Instead of basil pesto, I made ‘Nesto’ substituting the nettles for basil. It’s great, the family loves it. Our nettle patch has spread this year. We started with almost nothing 2 yrs ago. Great information as ever Adam, thank you.
Who woulda thunkit? Mr. Haritan Wandering around in Racoon for some time, 20 min. from home. Spent much coin on various 'shroom books, countless length of time on the net over the yrs. And THEN i 'discovered' him somewhat serendipitously, living in Richmond Va. at the time. Selfless individual, tons and tons of free stuff. Totally jealous of the mellifluous latin, hypnotic listening in general, darn near 'Guided meditation'. Jumped on the mushroom class when it became more 'economical', Boss 'let' me for my B-day present. Probably cheaper than all the books in aggregate actually. If You are serious about learning, ESPECIALLY a relative newbie, I couldn't speak more highly of that series as a resource. NOT an expert at anything, but had the series been around when first dabbling, the cost would have been CHEAP compared to a liver/kidney transplant! 😂 Thanks so much, Adam
Great! It seems that some heavier foods can increase mucus while some foods seem to encourage mucus flow. Red Pepper helps me to get over all kinds of sinus and throat problems. Have you tried raw ginger root? Thank you for sharing informative and helpful videos!
How to administer red pepper to the patient? Here is what has been working for my needs: Use an average size container for water such as 15 ounces which is the size for many types of canned vegetables. Try lemon juice or lime juice and common powdered red pepper. Put 1-3 teaspoons of lemon juice in your cup. Add a quarter teaspoon of red pepper powder. Add your favorite sweetener. I use powdered stevia which may contain dextrose. Stir the mix while adding purified water. After your cup is full just sip on this until your sinus problems subside. You will have to decide on how to prepare something like this for your private needs. Always check with your Licensed Professional Health Care Provider Thank you
Since i been watching your videos, i am not afraid to try to eat my weeds. I also have purchased several books and guides to edible wild plants, and i love them all. It gives me information on how to use them and what time of year, as well as the region to find them. And combined with your Videos, i am a Winner when SHTF, situation. I am ahead of the food shortage crisis by having fresh vegetables weeds from my property. Thank you so much for your encouragement in this. I am allergic to plantain weeds, but i now eat them once every three weeks, to control my allergies. It's working so far.
nice!! it's so satisfying to not be a smoker anymore!!! I quit in one day about 8 years ago, went out to the car and heard myself wheeze... immediately threw the rest of my pack away and never smoked again
@@susiemiller2621 I used to smoke a pipe - started in University and I thought it was "safer" than cigarettes, and also looked "cool." When I caught a terrible case of the flu one winter about ten years ago, and couldn't breathe (!) I quit cold turkey, and slowly my health returned. I'm almost 72 now, and all my allergies disappeared! I kept my last unopened pouch of tobacco as a reminder - still have it, and will never open it!
@@kbjerke Affirmative, nicotine can be medicinal but also highly addictive and regular recreational use is very bad for your health. Vaping likely ups the heavy metal toxicity even worse per my environmental neurologist.. BAAAD shit. Much depends on individual ability to neutralize toxins. Only about 3% of humans have a perfect genome to do so. They are the lucky folks who have the metabolism of a modern day real superman who can smoke, drink and get bit by venomous anything, and still usually kick it in the pants, no problem. The rest of humanity has varied broken genes in their own toxicity pathways which makes them more vulnerable, THAT is a known driver of chronic deadly inflammatory diseases. Functional medicine works to heal but pharma just treats inflammatory symptoms for profit til death do you part. Pharma saves lives in the ER where it belongs and truly works miracles.
Thank you for posting this video! I found that cutting out sugar as much as possible, including a long list of fruit helps as well for me. My goat’s raw milk help as well. I think it is due to the fact that my milk doe is in the same area that her milk doesn’t mess with my inflammatory rhinitis too much. I have also started making raw milk yogurt (yogurt is SUPER easy to make), and that has helped tremendously! I still consume all my fermented stuff, because my gut and immune system need it, but thats just me. It definitely helps more than it hurts 🙏🏽❤️
with the gluten thing... I have noticed the exact same reaction! allergy like symptoms but no diagnosis of gluten intolerance. that got me doing my own research and I came across the suggestion that it's NOT actually the gluten we're having reactions to but the glyphosate that's doused on the wheat we consume! so, I've found with sticking to all organic forms of wheat, there are zero issues!😁👍
If our local grocery didn't have in house baked organic wheat sourdough I would not eat bread either. Most other breads give me issues, organic or not.
I agree that the chemicals in wheat and milk are toxic. I grew up on homemade bread with wheat from a specific source, and milk from our cow or goat which I usually handmilked myself. You are your own doctor, and your food is your medicine. Ancient saying.
@@vegahunter8 my daughter is the same way... I tried that approach with her, but she still had issues. It all just depends on our own unique body chemistries I guess! .....wish this thing came with a manual!🤔🤪....
@@acebilbo LUCKY!😕 Unfortunately, it seems the vast majority of people are raised with the dependency mindset of consumerism and wouldn't know their arse from a hole in the ground if you stuck them in the woods and told them to be free! LOL Reestablishing that relationship with the land and nature - the way we are supposed to live and thrive - is becoming apparent as being the ONLY way humanity will survive without self-destructing! Simple, clean living and forming a self reliant, symbiotic relationship with the Earth is definitely the way to go! I hope you have shown your family the gratitude they deserve and you can continue this lifestyle and pass it on to the next generation!😊💜
Great vid. There are some differences when it comes to freeze dried/fresh/oven dried nettle. Not sure about the allergies properties. The study is called "Effect of drying methods on chemical composition and antioxidant activity of underutilized stinging nettle leaves" and it's available full online. Love your videos. Great source of information as always.
Good information! I find that *sugar* will tip me over into an allergy attack, but confess that I have not yet mustered the self discipline to cut it out of my diet (peanutbutter M&Ms! Yum! *rolls eyes at self*) I am fortunate that allergies have greatly reduced for me in the past 10 years - I used to have to deal with 2 sinus infections a year because of them (not fun!). Another thing I really appreciate is that you cite scientific studies. My Beloved Husband leans towards "Herbalism is all wooooowoooo stuff" and when I point him to your videos, he sees scientific articles cited *AND* that you do not do the "woooooo wooooo, herbs can cure everything perfectly" thing ;-) Great information; keep 'em coming!
Even if we only have slight adverse affects from different types of foods; while our immune system is fighting against them and then allergy triggers are introduced I think it just overwhelms our immune system. If our immune system isn't so busy fighting things we eat then I think it can fight harder against things we breathe. I've been about 95% gluten free for 10 years and have cut my dairy intake way back over last few... allergy issues are much improved 😊. 🤔Not too impressed with the histamine food list to eliminate...🤣🤣🤣. Most of those foods have so many good benefits. Thanks for sharing all your research, it truly is a blessing!!!
You can control a histamine problem easily by taking a DAO enzyme with meals to support the break down of excess histamine. That yummy extra flavor of left overs... THAT is the magic of histamine. You can also take non histamine producing probiotics. ABP1 is a really good one. (I have a dirty DAO gene so I cannot produce it on my own. I depend on this to keep me from going chronic inflamed, which over decades, slow cooks your organs and vascular system...very bad, if unchecked, for optimal health!)
One of the best things I've done to combat inflammation is cutting down on oil consumption. Especially canola and vegetable oils which are generally minimum of 30-1 omega 6&9 to 3.. That and cutting dairy + barefoot grounding in nature w breath work / wim hif method.
@@Eueueyw There is good evidence that omega 3 can help with it.. And ingesting oils or hydrogenated fats that are then used in the creation of cells, leads to cells that can nit store or transmit electrical energy. Excess positive electrical charge in the body is a huge part of inflammation. Watch Healing is Voltage by Jerry Tennant ( Naturopath)
Thank you!! This is my first spring with a totally dairy and gluten free diet. I generally have minor spring issues ei: slight runny nose, scratchy throat. But not this year yet!! Never realized the possibility of a connection till now. Eliminated them one at a time last year just to see what would happen and never felt better in so many ways. Now this to...go figure. Also this year have been making dandelion tea and red clover tea. Trying to identify stinging nettle. Again, thanks for your amazing info :)
Thank you!! Did everything you recommended and it's changed my life. Every June I get hit by such gnarly allergies, sneezing every few seconds, can't see, can't breathe, rashy. Horrible stuff, after taking this advice - nothing. First June in 26 years I haven't suffered a month long headache.
Your advice is going to be taken almost completely. I was, like you said, appalled and shocked at fermented cabbage having anything bad for you in it. I have to eat it for the gut problems I have if I don't eat it every day. I took a walk early this morning and I picked two hands full of stinging nettle, broadleaf plaintain, and dandelion. It had rained last night, and it was foggy this morning, so perfect for walking and foraging for a meal and medicine. I will cut up the nettles and sprinkle them in my eggs and dandelion, and the plantain is in the freezer getting frozen so I can store them wrapped in parchment paper in a freezer bag.
It’s funny that I found this video. I’ve been on a low histamine diet for several months now. I was just thinking it’s weird that my seasonal allergies haven’t been bad so far this year. I guess this video explained it. Thanks for the quality information.
This is wonderful news! I have quite a few seasonal allergies and they do restrict my outdoor activities at times. I will definitely look more into this. Thanks for bringing the research material into the discussion.
something folks might like to consider, along with the beauty of finding your medicine growing nearby, there is a pretty well-founded idea in energy medicine, that “seasonal allergies” are connected to trauma ( which can be very simple, but not to the sufferer), and that the triggering “trauma” is activated in the season it happened. A lot of us have traumas, it turns out, that happened in spring. No mystery, if you consider it is the season of mating... and all such permutations of energies, emotions, and events. Tapping, and “faster EFT” has been really helpful to me.
Hey Folks, I would like to add 2 comments/opinions to this content. 1. Avoid heating honey. It may be more beneficial for some to drink the tea then take a spoonful of honey raw & plain after finishing the tea. 2. Rinse and gargle with warm salt water every day to reduce mucus.
Another very nice video. I gravitate to you videos more than others concerning foraging because you lay out a myriad of useful information in a very easy way to understand. I've used your knowledge in my supplementation process many, many times. Some include selfheal and stinging nettle
Totally agree with your approach! By eliminating gluten and dairy (about 10 years ago now), my body is no longer always congested, so when pollen season hits, it can handle the extra stress. We've added the stinging nettle component the last year and that has been wonderful. I was not aware of foods being high in histamine so that is a new resource--thank you!!!
For sure on the dairy for myself. When I consume it I notice the symptoms. As far as the stinging nettle I must agree with that it helps. In April I was picking the tops of them and eating them raw. I did not have any issues with allergies until I stopped taking them. Time to get more stinging nettle. Thank you very much for the info.
Thanks for this. My GP (we call our general oractice doctor this in UK) advised me to cut out all dairy as dairy products are mucus-inducing. At the time I was taking antibiotics as my hay fever was that bad, the symptoms resulted in infections. Now I have negligible symptom just by (1) avoiding all dairy + alcohol & (2) taking fresh nettle-mint tea made with honey. The evidence speaks for itself. I eat bread but the gluten has no affect on my hay fever when I did/didn’t it.
Can you harvest & use stinging nettle after it flowers? I read that you shouldn't but not sure if that's true. I grow it in my garden and was also wondering if after flowering the plant chemistry changes, can you cut it down and regrow it and then reuse it? Thanks!
Another thing that can help is eating sprouted legumes. When you sprout legumes without exposing them to sunlight, they develop enzymes which lower your absorption of histamine. This was the first spring I didn't suffer from hayfever without taking any medications. I cleaned up my diet before and it helped, adding sprouted legumes seemed to the final straw I needed.
very good site, not pretending to have the perfect answer but empowering the viewer. Even though I don't live in the States so some of the plants are not so well known where I live (UK), I take note of the recommendations. I knew about gluten and dairy but has never heard about food triggering histamine. There is always something to learn on this channel and I am a keen subscriber.
An awesome video Adam. I (anecdotally) share the same results with dietary changes in accordance with your first three points, that not only rid me of 'the seasonals' but also ameliorates my arthritis ;¬). Thank you for sharing the histamines information.
what a great video! thank you! for me in addition removing coffee and sugar made a huge difference. I will try removing gluten. Because I too am experiencing symptoms that are very random but now I will be more mindful and see if this really triggers them (BTW from my experience eliminating all animal products from my diet helped with 95% of symptoms I have had before)
Brought in some stinging nettle from my brothers place last season and now have a healthy patch growing. Knew some benefits from it, but didn’t know it aided in the relief of allergies. Whatta’ plant! Thanks for your input and suggestions.
Thank you for sharing this information, its good to know its actually beneficial to have the windows open. If folks do use stinging nettle in any form, please ensure that you are sourcing sustainably, whether purchasing or gathering. Some species of butterflies rely on using the undersides of nettle leaves to lay their eggs. We saw a decline in a few species of butterflies after over harvesting happened in populated areas here in Portland, Oregon. Help our pollinators by growing your own or purchasing from a sustainable source!
I could not seem to find stinging nettles but I have found wood nettles, my guess is they may be similar in nutrition kinda looking for an official comparison .thanks for sharing so much !
Yes! I also cut back on the amount of; Kombucha Coffee Alcohol Beer As it clogs the liver/ gallbladder On top of that I take extra gut enzymes and eat chicken of the woods and wood ears.
Thanks for the video. Pretty consistent with what I've found. I've had severe allergies and I do good when I eat high quality animal foods and fish/shell fish but limit dairy unless it's ghee or cultured butter and maybe a bit of kefir or aged cheese but it has to be something where all the sugar is fermented out. I make a 5 gallon crock of traditional cabbage and daikon radish kimchi each year and fermented salsa verde. I haven't noticed issues with that but I'd be curious if I'd notice anymore changes by limiting or eliminating them. I love my seared meat with some kimchi or salsa verde on the side though damn it lol There are a lot of variations of what works for people but what I've narrowed it down to is inflammation. If you radically reduce inflammation when pollen contacts your membranes your body does not over react. I believe the majority of allergies are because most people are unnaturally inflamed. If I gave someone a really quick generic piece of advice to remove or reduce allergies I'd say eat lower amounts of carbs, or even zero carb, until symptoms disappear. Sugar is the most inflammatory thing if you are eating unnatural amounts of it in any form. No need to go zero carb permanently but if you are insulin resistant, even pre diabetic, getting your insulin spikes rock bottom for 30 to 90 days is very effective. Zero carb coupled with some water fasting thrown in intermittently has shocking results fairly quickly but it's still sustainable.
Adam thank you so much for imparting all your wise and lived knowledge! I drink nettle tea on a regular basis. I don't get allergies or even ill. And that is since i started using them. Peace bro
Wow! I have been experiencing chronic rhinitis for the past few years and have heard about removing bread and gluten, but that's been a formidable ask for me. Your video has inspired me to go brew some nettle tea, so let's see! :)
Learn your Land, i was sick for 7+ yrs with various symptoms ranging from frequent urination, excruciating joint pain, severe asthma attacks and of course severe stomach issues. After yrs of seeing specialists, I was encouraged to remove gluten from my diet by a family member and after 6 wks my symptoms began to alleviate. Now they are basically gone. Docs diagnosed me with copd, Gerd, arthritis and bladder issues. They pumped me full of proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics none of which helped. I was puffing on a rescue inhaler 10 X a day. It's amazing that the whole time gluten was the culprit. Also, I think I read that artemisia is also good to treat allergies.
Thoughts on substituting purple dead nettle for stinging nettle? And if so, would dried purple dead nettle be effective in addition to fresh. Is there any risk for people sensitive to oxalates?
Hopefully someone else who knows a little more about purple dead nettle will answer, too. I know that it's medicinal, but I don't remember what for. But I do remember that a lot of the healing properties of stinging nettle are actually from the chemicals that cause the sting. So, my first thought is that they are probably complimentary, but probably not interchangeable. But again, hopefully someone else who knows a little more detail will answer, too.
Could you do a video on how you process stinging nettle for tea, and cooked like you would for spinach? How do you deal with the needles when eating the plant. Thank you for the video. As always, very informative.
Hello Adam! I realize this video is not about mushrooms, but I have no other way to ask you this question. Could you PLEASE do a video or even just respond with information about cauliflower mushrooms? I know they grow where I hunt (Northern Maryland and southern Pennsylvania) but haven't seen one in several years and the only videos I have seen are for Western United States. Interested in the time of year and trees /habitat associated. I hope you see this and know that you are my FAVORITE person to get information from and share information with friends about our fungal and plant families. 💞💫 Much love and many hugs your way!
I used to have horrible allergies when the pinks were in full bloom, and some well meaning person had planted them on every lot in the development! Once out of that zone my symptoms were minimal. Then I found that most of the spring weeds have antihistamine effects. Now I add my weeds to salads, including stinging nettle and my symptoms are may be 5% if any at all. Yes, it is important to figure out what one eats, reacts to, instead of just popping pills😎 I just don't hang the sheets out when pollen covers the cars, porches etc.
Good information, thank you Adam! I am already allergic to live yeast, so I'll see if eliminating fermented products (even cooked ones) will make a difference. Ironically, I was watching your video while eating bread and cheese - reducing that might help, although I don't see myself stopping bread altogether. And stinging nettle is fabulous! If high-histamine foods increase overall body inflammation, I wonder how much they contribute to the so-called "diseases of civilization."
Hello thank you for these great videos. i have a question: how long can birtch polypore be kept (dried slices) and consumed as tea or used to make extract? i recently found a bag full i collected in 2019 and would like to make an alcohol/water extract. they were stored totally dry and in a dark container. thank you for any info.
Thanks for the video Adam! I would have a hard time eliminating the first 2 items on your list, and I do suffer from seasonal allergies. I have been making tea with Stinging nettle, and it seems to lessen my allergy symtoms. I have hay fever. I recently came across a very large stand of wood nettle. I wonder if Wood nettle has the same allergy relieving properties as Stinging nettle. I see so much talk about Stinging nettle, but there is virtually no literature on any possible benefits of consuming Wood nettle. Wonder if you have consumed it or researched it? Thanks again!
Eating a lot of green vegetables helps my allergies, too. I think because many of them have quercitin in them, which also helps with allergies. Chocolate is a huge trigger for me, after I eat some I get a sore throat and stuffy nose from things that don't usually bother me. It and coffee are actually fermented, so maybe that's why.
Great timing - one of my kids was just diagnosed with allergies to a few tree pollens. Do you find you need to do these things year-round or that you can just start them a few weeks before allergy season to set yourself up for success? Also, do you have a recommendation for brands for the nettle tea/infusion? Thanks so much for this helpful video!
I subbed today,lookin for stingingnettle. I`m in a lifestyle change and prolong fasting is part of it, diet as well. Doing keto has worked on many issues due to my allergi. Nice channel.
Thanks for sharing this. I've noticed a similar connection between allergic reactions and my diet. Inflammation and varying severity or relief is affected by what, when and how much/how often I eat certain things. Sometimes its difficult to determine what is actually causing or allieviating which.
It's wild how bad allergies have gotten. Didn't even seem to be mentioned in the 1950s, but now it seems an abundance of folks have seasonal allergies.
Hello Adam, what name brand or product brand to purchase for maybe frozen Sting Nettle, if Sting Nettle is not available to forage? Please and Thank you.🙂
This is a great video. Great direction you're going. Read up on the Genetic Disposition Theory. I'm finding it to just be location and diet. Our food supply is killing us daily.
It's not east to give up cereals, i've been trying for a few years. First year i forgot to give up beer and recently i noticed there is some form of wheat in the vegan candy i buy for the kids (which i snack on). I also ate by mistake a few times some vegan ben and jerries but it had wheat in it. I've been vegan for around 20 years so i'm kind of used to giving things up. So now i'm also giving up spirits which leaves me mainly with wine cider and some less strong liqueurs, (they say to also give up spirits). I get super itchy, runny eyes, sometimes they skin over when i rub them and can feel like needles poking in my eyes. I also get asthma when things get really bad. The other night i accepted an impromptu dinner at a friends but it was wheat pasta, I had been coming fairly well but the very next day i had chronic sinusitis and developed a nasty cough, causing me to cough up lots of phlegm. Now, a few days later i'm regretting the pasta meal. After watching this i'm dumping spirulina in my tea and running out to the garden to get some nettles. I have tried nettles before and had been harvesting them and drying them a few years back. However i have not yet tried the combo of all of the above.
Awesome video! I haven't tried most of what you mentioned here, however I do take a teaspoon of local raw honey daily when my allergies would be at their worst. I have been doing this for several years, and haven't had an issue with allergies since.
Someone told me once that you’re supposed to eat spring honey for your spring allergies and fall hoodie for your fall allergies as those are the plants that are affecting you. Have you heard anything about this?
@@t-mac6210 Can't say that I have, but it would make sense. Unfortunately I don't have the option of requesting spring or fall honey from the people I buy from, but at least I'm getting really local honey (less than 20km from me).
Excellent video, very interesting how different things can interfere with each other, I love to see more like this one, especially of herbs so-called "weeds" like horsetail or dandelion
I just watched the video about stinging nettle I am more interested in foraging than ever.id love to hook up with a foraging expert for advice and learn about foraging for food and +. I am an avid gardener. I grew up on a vegetable farm but know almost nothing about wild edible plants. My grandfather even with one hand would spend a great deal of time gathering dandelion plants and preparing them with bacon or salt pork. He had considerable skills for foraging of which I didn't have much appreciation for at that time. He past away a long time ago and his skills died with him and I could use his skills at this time.
I accidently found out that I'm allergic to eating land mammals, most likely due to the alpha-gal Gene from a tick bite. I used to get sinus infections from allergies at least twice a year, so I was referred to an allergist for testing. That's when I found out about the meat, so I largely cut it out. Here we are, 3 years later, no meds, no infections, and much more comfortable!
Much appreciated bro, I've been getting rocked by allergies in the last couple years. Looking forward to trying this out. I'll gladly give gluten the axe if this reduces symptoms.
Adam's integrity is admirable.
I developed seasonal allergies somewhat late in life (around 43-45 yrs old). I began using local, raw honey and it REALLY helps.
raw honey also helped my Mom a lot
It will, as long as it is not an autoimmune food sensitivity, which is different than true allergy.
This is what I'm trying. I found out the hard way not all honey is real honey. Some sold me sugar water. So I buy from my neighbors who raises bees. Plz make sure yall buying real honey. It's the best ever. 🙏🏾

I am allergic to plantain weeds, but i now eat them once every three weeks, to control my allergies. It's working so far.
You are absolutely right! We are what we eat, and learning to identify those foods that give us the problems is primary. Very useful talk Adam!!!
When I quit smoking, *many* years ago, my seasonal allergies vanished. I believe that says something.
Thanks for the video, Adam!!!
yes, smoking ups a person's toxic payload BIGLY. Congratulations! Not easy to quit, much less not restart over the years.
nice!!
it's so satisfying to not be a smoker anymore!!!
I quit in one day about 8 years ago, went out to the car and heard myself wheeze... immediately threw the rest of my pack away and never smoked again
@@susiemiller2621 I used to smoke a pipe - started in University and I thought it was "safer" than cigarettes, and also looked "cool." When I caught a terrible case of the flu one winter about ten years ago, and couldn't breathe (!) I quit cold turkey, and slowly my health returned. I'm almost 72 now, and all my allergies disappeared! I kept my last unopened pouch of tobacco as a reminder - still have it, and will never open it!
@@kbjerke Affirmative, nicotine can be medicinal but also highly addictive and regular recreational use is very bad for your health. Vaping likely ups the heavy metal toxicity even worse per my environmental neurologist.. BAAAD shit. Much depends on individual ability to neutralize toxins. Only about 3% of humans have a perfect genome to do so. They are the lucky folks who have the metabolism of a modern day real superman who can smoke, drink and get bit by venomous anything, and still usually kick it in the pants, no problem. The rest of humanity has varied broken genes in their own toxicity pathways which makes them more vulnerable, THAT is a known driver of chronic deadly inflammatory diseases. Functional medicine works to heal but pharma just treats inflammatory symptoms for profit til death do you part. Pharma saves lives in the ER where it belongs and truly works miracles.
Thank you for posting this video! I found that cutting out sugar as much as possible, including a long list of fruit helps as well for me. My goat’s raw milk help as well. I think it is due to the fact that my milk doe is in the same area that her milk doesn’t mess with my inflammatory rhinitis too much.
I have also started making raw milk yogurt (yogurt is SUPER easy to make), and that has helped tremendously!
I still consume all my fermented stuff, because my gut and immune system need it, but thats just me. It definitely helps more than it hurts 🙏🏽❤️
with the gluten thing... I have noticed the exact same reaction! allergy like symptoms but no diagnosis of gluten intolerance. that got me doing my own research and I came across the suggestion that it's NOT actually the gluten we're having reactions to but the glyphosate that's doused on the wheat we consume! so, I've found with sticking to all organic forms of wheat, there are zero issues!😁👍
If our local grocery didn't have in house baked organic wheat sourdough I would not eat bread either. Most other breads give me issues, organic or not.
I agree that the chemicals in wheat and milk are toxic. I grew up on homemade bread with wheat from a specific source, and milk from our cow or goat which I usually handmilked myself. You are your own doctor, and your food is your medicine. Ancient saying.
@@vegahunter8 my daughter is the same way... I tried that approach with her, but she still had issues. It all just depends on our own unique body chemistries I guess! .....wish this thing came with a manual!🤔🤪....
Be very careful giving out that advise. It is NOT correct. Glyphosate is an additional toxin.
@@acebilbo LUCKY!😕 Unfortunately, it seems the vast majority of people are raised with the dependency mindset of consumerism and wouldn't know their arse from a hole in the ground if you stuck them in the woods and told them to be free! LOL
Reestablishing that relationship with the land and nature - the way we are supposed to live and thrive - is becoming apparent as being the ONLY way humanity will survive without self-destructing! Simple, clean living and forming a self reliant, symbiotic relationship with the Earth is definitely the way to go!
I hope you have shown your family the gratitude they deserve and you can continue this lifestyle and pass it on to the next generation!😊💜
Great vid. There are some differences when it comes to freeze dried/fresh/oven dried nettle. Not sure about the allergies properties. The study is called "Effect of drying methods on chemical composition and antioxidant activity of underutilized stinging nettle leaves" and it's available full online. Love your videos. Great source of information as always.
Your knowledge never ceases to amaze me. I have no doubt, that you will hit a million subscribers.
Western Pa here too!!! I do exactly what you do for allergies. I’ve been gluten free for 18 years it’s huge for inflammation in the body.
Adam... This is so fantastic. So great to know!
Your vast knowledge has to be shared.
I know I will!!!
Good information! I find that *sugar* will tip me over into an allergy attack, but confess that I have not yet mustered the self discipline to cut it out of my diet (peanutbutter M&Ms! Yum! *rolls eyes at self*) I am fortunate that allergies have greatly reduced for me in the past 10 years - I used to have to deal with 2 sinus infections a year because of them (not fun!).
Another thing I really appreciate is that you cite scientific studies. My Beloved Husband leans towards "Herbalism is all wooooowoooo stuff" and when I point him to your videos, he sees scientific articles cited *AND* that you do not do the "woooooo wooooo, herbs can cure everything perfectly" thing ;-)
Great information; keep 'em coming!
Took a group hike with you several years ago, you’re wonderful! Thank you!
Even if we only have slight adverse affects from different types of foods; while our immune system is fighting against them and then allergy triggers are introduced I think it just overwhelms our immune system. If our immune system isn't so busy fighting things we eat then I think it can fight harder against things we breathe. I've been about 95% gluten free for 10 years and have cut my dairy intake way back over last few... allergy issues are much improved 😊. 🤔Not too impressed with the histamine food list to eliminate...🤣🤣🤣. Most of those foods have so many good benefits. Thanks for sharing all your research, it truly is a blessing!!!
You can control a histamine problem easily by taking a DAO enzyme with meals to support the break down of excess histamine. That yummy extra flavor of left overs... THAT is the magic of histamine. You can also take non histamine producing probiotics. ABP1 is a really good one. (I have a dirty DAO gene so I cannot produce it on my own. I depend on this to keep me from going chronic inflamed, which over decades, slow cooks your organs and vascular system...very bad, if unchecked, for optimal health!)
One of the best things I've done to combat inflammation is cutting down on oil consumption. Especially canola and vegetable oils which are generally minimum of 30-1 omega 6&9 to 3.. That and cutting dairy + barefoot grounding in nature w breath work / wim hif method.
There’s no good evidence that omega 6 causes inflammation
@@Eueueyw There is good evidence that omega 3 can help with it.. And ingesting oils or hydrogenated fats that are then used in the creation of cells, leads to cells that can nit store or transmit electrical energy.

Thank you!! This is my first spring with a totally dairy and gluten free diet. I generally have minor spring issues ei: slight runny nose, scratchy throat. But not this year yet!! Never realized the possibility of a connection till now. Eliminated them one at a time last year just to see what would happen and never felt better in so many ways. Now this to...go figure. Also this year have been making dandelion tea and red clover tea. Trying to identify stinging nettle. Again, thanks for your amazing info :)
Well, stinging nettle must be one of the easiest plant ever to identify xD. Pro tip of the day, if it stings when you touch it, it's stinging nettle !
Thank you!! Did everything you recommended and it's changed my life. Every June I get hit by such gnarly allergies, sneezing every few seconds, can't see, can't breathe, rashy. Horrible stuff, after taking this advice - nothing. First June in 26 years I haven't suffered a month long headache.
I have allergies, and I learned a lot from this. Thank you
Your advice is going to be taken almost completely. I was, like you said, appalled and shocked at fermented cabbage having anything bad for you in it. I have to eat it for the gut problems I have if I don't eat it every day. I took a walk early this morning and I picked two hands full of stinging nettle, broadleaf plaintain, and dandelion. It had rained last night, and it was foggy this morning, so perfect for walking and foraging for a meal and medicine. I will cut up the nettles and sprinkle them in my eggs and dandelion, and the plantain is in the freezer getting frozen so I can store them wrapped in parchment paper in a freezer bag.
Yep, it is all about the terrain. Thank you Adam for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. Best wishes mate.
I don't have allergies but that video was very informative and might be able to help other ppl I know, thanks Adam
GOD gave us everything we need from food to medicine. Thank you for teaching others about all the wonderful natural ways ❤️
It’s funny that I found this video. I’ve been on a low histamine diet for several months now. I was just thinking it’s weird that my seasonal allergies haven’t been bad so far this year. I guess this video explained it.
Thanks for the quality information.
This is wonderful news! I have quite a few seasonal allergies and they do restrict my outdoor activities at times. I will definitely look more into this. Thanks for bringing the research material into the discussion.
something folks might like to consider, along with the beauty of finding your medicine growing nearby,
there is a pretty well-founded idea in energy medicine, that “seasonal allergies” are connected to trauma ( which can be very simple, but not to the sufferer), and that the triggering “trauma” is activated in the season it happened. A lot of us have traumas, it turns out, that happened in spring. No mystery, if you consider it is the season of mating... and all such permutations of energies, emotions, and events. Tapping, and “faster EFT” has been really helpful to me.
Hey Folks, I would like to add 2 comments/opinions to this content.
1. Avoid heating honey. It may be more beneficial for some to drink the tea then take a spoonful of honey raw & plain after finishing the tea.
2. Rinse and gargle with warm salt water every day to reduce mucus.
Another very nice video. I gravitate to you videos more than others concerning foraging because you lay out a myriad of useful information in a very easy way to understand. I've used your knowledge in my supplementation process many, many times. Some include selfheal and stinging nettle
If you are a blood type A, eliminating those foods Adam mentioned can help greatly. Definitely helped me!
Totally agree with your approach! By eliminating gluten and dairy (about 10 years ago now), my body is no longer always congested, so when pollen season hits, it can handle the extra stress. We've added the stinging nettle component the last year and that has been wonderful. I was not aware of foods being high in histamine so that is a new resource--thank you!!!
For sure on the dairy for myself. When I consume it I notice the symptoms. As far as the stinging nettle I must agree with that it helps. In April I was picking the tops of them and eating them raw. I did not have any issues with allergies until I stopped taking them. Time to get more stinging nettle. Thank you very much for the info.
'Awesome Advice! I Shared this to alot of people I know who suffer with seasonal Allergies and my mother is 1 of them. Thanks!
Thanks for this. My GP (we call our general oractice doctor this in UK) advised me to cut out all dairy as dairy products are mucus-inducing. At the time I was taking antibiotics as my hay fever was that bad, the symptoms resulted in infections. Now I have negligible symptom just by (1) avoiding all dairy + alcohol & (2) taking fresh nettle-mint tea made with honey. The evidence speaks for itself. I eat bread but the gluten has no affect on my hay fever when I did/didn’t it.
Great information. You have exceptionally high-quality videos and your knowledge is encyclopedic. Many thanks!
Thanks, Ron!
I've been doing this combination through a holistic nutritionist and it got rid of my asthma. Thanks
Can you harvest & use stinging nettle after it flowers? I read that you shouldn't but not sure if that's true. I grow it in my garden and was also wondering if after flowering the plant chemistry changes, can you cut it down and regrow it and then reuse it? Thanks!
"Friendship brings the nicest people together" is the cutest mug
Another thing that can help is eating sprouted legumes. When you sprout legumes without exposing them to sunlight, they develop enzymes which lower your absorption of histamine. This was the first spring I didn't suffer from hayfever without taking any medications. I cleaned up my diet before and it helped, adding sprouted legumes seemed to the final straw I needed.
Thank you for inspiring me to make lifestyle changes that will better my health.
clear informative and helpful as ever.. thanks Adam..
very good site, not pretending to have the perfect answer but empowering the viewer. Even though I don't live in the States so some of the plants are not so well known where I live (UK), I take note of the recommendations. I knew about gluten and dairy but has never heard about food triggering histamine. There is always something to learn on this channel and I am a keen subscriber.
An awesome video Adam. I (anecdotally) share the same results with dietary changes in accordance with your first three points, that not only rid me of 'the seasonals' but also ameliorates my arthritis ;¬). Thank you for sharing the histamines information.
Thanks a million for passing your knowledge on ✌🏻❤️✊🏻🏴
what a great video! thank you! for me in addition removing coffee and sugar made a huge difference. I will try removing gluten. Because I too am experiencing symptoms that are very random but now I will be more mindful and see if this really triggers them (BTW from my experience eliminating all animal products from my diet helped with 95% of symptoms I have had before)
Brought in some stinging nettle from my brothers place last season and now have a healthy patch growing. Knew some benefits from it, but didn’t know it aided in the relief of allergies. Whatta’ plant! Thanks for your input and suggestions.
Thank you for sharing this information, its good to know its actually beneficial to have the windows open. If folks do use stinging nettle in any form, please ensure that you are sourcing sustainably, whether purchasing or gathering. Some species of butterflies rely on using the undersides of nettle leaves to lay their eggs. We saw a decline in a few species of butterflies after over harvesting happened in populated areas here in Portland, Oregon. Help our pollinators by growing your own or purchasing from a sustainable source!
@K Barnes That's awesome!
you have legendary understanding about these stuff.
Thanks! Always value your expertise. I would like to add quercetin to your advice. It calms those met cells right down. Does wonders for me.
I could not seem to find stinging nettles but I have found wood nettles, my guess is they may be similar in nutrition kinda looking for an official comparison .thanks for sharing so much !
Yes! I also cut back on the amount of;
Kombucha
Coffee
Alcohol
Beer
As it clogs the liver/ gallbladder
On top of that I take extra gut enzymes and eat chicken of the woods and wood ears.
Thanks for the video. Pretty consistent with what I've found. I've had severe allergies and I do good when I eat high quality animal foods and fish/shell fish but limit dairy unless it's ghee or cultured butter and maybe a bit of kefir or aged cheese but it has to be something where all the sugar is fermented out. I make a 5 gallon crock of traditional cabbage and daikon radish kimchi each year and fermented salsa verde. I haven't noticed issues with that but I'd be curious if I'd notice anymore changes by limiting or eliminating them. I love my seared meat with some kimchi or salsa verde on the side though damn it lol
There are a lot of variations of what works for people but what I've narrowed it down to is inflammation. If you radically reduce inflammation when pollen contacts your membranes your body does not over react. I believe the majority of allergies are because most people are unnaturally inflamed. If I gave someone a really quick generic piece of advice to remove or reduce allergies I'd say eat lower amounts of carbs, or even zero carb, until symptoms disappear. Sugar is the most inflammatory thing if you are eating unnatural amounts of it in any form. No need to go zero carb permanently but if you are insulin resistant, even pre diabetic, getting your insulin spikes rock bottom for 30 to 90 days is very effective. Zero carb coupled with some water fasting thrown in intermittently has shocking results fairly quickly but it's still sustainable.
Adam thank you so much for imparting all your wise and lived knowledge! I drink nettle tea on a regular basis. I don't get allergies or even ill. And that is since i started using them. Peace bro
Stinging Nettles works for me! Tea, in my soup, in muffins!
This sounds like it might help my mother. She has the WORST Allergic Rhinitis! We are also in western Pa.
Wow! I have been experiencing chronic rhinitis for the past few years and have heard about removing bread and gluten, but that's been a formidable ask for me. Your video has inspired me to go brew some nettle tea, so let's see! :)
very nice.. thank you for sharing 💚
It's almost like our bodies are telling us to go out and eat whats ripe in nature. Instead of processed food.
Learn your Land, i was sick for 7+ yrs with various symptoms ranging from frequent urination, excruciating joint pain, severe asthma attacks and of course severe stomach issues. After yrs of seeing specialists, I was encouraged to remove gluten from my diet by a family member and after 6 wks my symptoms began to alleviate. Now they are basically gone. Docs diagnosed me with copd, Gerd, arthritis and bladder issues. They pumped me full of proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics none of which helped. I was puffing on a rescue inhaler 10 X a day. It's amazing that the whole time gluten was the culprit. Also, I think I read that artemisia is also good to treat allergies.
Thoughts on substituting purple dead nettle for stinging nettle? And if so, would dried purple dead nettle be effective in addition to fresh. Is there any risk for people sensitive to oxalates?
Hopefully someone else who knows a little more about purple dead nettle will answer, too. I know that it's medicinal, but I don't remember what for. But I do remember that a lot of the healing properties of stinging nettle are actually from the chemicals that cause the sting.
So, my first thought is that they are probably complimentary, but probably not interchangeable.
But again, hopefully someone else who knows a little more detail will answer, too.
Awesome video, Adam! Thank you so much!
Could you do a video on how you process stinging nettle for tea, and cooked like you would for spinach? How do you deal with the needles when eating the plant. Thank you for the video. As always, very informative.
Hello Adam! I realize this video is not about mushrooms, but I have no other way to ask you this question. Could you PLEASE do a video or even just respond with information about cauliflower mushrooms? I know they grow where I hunt (Northern Maryland and southern Pennsylvania) but haven't seen one in several years and the only videos I have seen are for Western United States. Interested in the time of year and trees /habitat associated. I hope you see this and know that you are my FAVORITE person to get information from and share information with friends about our fungal and plant families. 💞💫 Much love and many hugs your way!
I already do the first two steps, but I'm definitely going to try your last two suggestions as well! Great vid! 👍
I used to have horrible allergies when the pinks were in full bloom, and some well meaning person had planted them on every lot in the development! Once out of that zone my symptoms were minimal. Then I found that most of the spring weeds have antihistamine effects. Now I add my weeds to salads, including stinging nettle and my symptoms are may be 5% if any at all. Yes, it is important to figure out what one eats, reacts to, instead of just popping pills😎
I just don't hang the sheets out when pollen covers the cars, porches etc.
Good information, thank you Adam! I am already allergic to live yeast, so I'll see if eliminating fermented products (even cooked ones) will make a difference. Ironically, I was watching your video while eating bread and cheese - reducing that might help, although I don't see myself stopping bread altogether. And stinging nettle is fabulous! If high-histamine foods increase overall body inflammation, I wonder how much they contribute to the so-called "diseases of civilization."
Thanks, I’m suffering so badly with this right now.
Hello
thank you for these great videos. i have a question:
how long can birtch polypore be kept (dried slices) and consumed as tea or used to make extract?
i recently found a bag full i collected in 2019 and would like to make an alcohol/water extract.
they were stored totally dry and in a dark container.
thank you for any info.
Thanks for the video Adam! I would have a hard time eliminating the first 2 items on your list, and I do suffer from seasonal allergies. I have been making tea with Stinging nettle, and it seems to lessen my allergy symtoms. I have hay fever. I recently came across a very large stand of wood nettle. I wonder if Wood nettle has the same allergy relieving properties as Stinging nettle. I see so much talk about Stinging nettle, but there is virtually no literature on any possible benefits of consuming Wood nettle. Wonder if you have consumed it or researched it? Thanks again!
Eating a lot of green vegetables helps my allergies, too. I think because many of them have quercitin in them, which also helps with allergies. Chocolate is a huge trigger for me, after I eat some I get a sore throat and stuffy nose from things that don't usually bother me. It and coffee are actually fermented, so maybe that's why.
A tip to try is chewing the honey comb of raw honey. This was effective for one of my family members.
I learned most of what you present here in this video the hard way over the course of many years. So proud of you for spreadin' the news!
Fascinating! Love your channel!! 😍
Great timing - one of my kids was just diagnosed with allergies to a few tree pollens. Do you find you need to do these things year-round or that you can just start them a few weeks before allergy season to set yourself up for success? Also, do you have a recommendation for brands for the nettle tea/infusion? Thanks so much for this helpful video!
Great timing! The last two weeks have been rough. Definitely will try some nettle tea.
Good suggestions! I will try them.
I subbed today,lookin for stingingnettle. I`m in a lifestyle change and prolong fasting is part of it, diet as well. Doing keto has worked on many issues due to my allergi.
Nice channel.
Thanks for sharing this. I've noticed a similar connection between allergic reactions and my diet. Inflammation and varying severity or relief is affected by what, when and how much/how often I eat certain things. Sometimes its difficult to determine what is actually causing or allieviating which.
Thanks for watching!
It's wild how bad allergies have gotten. Didn't even seem to be mentioned in the 1950s, but now it seems an abundance of folks have seasonal allergies.
Hello Adam, what name brand or product brand to purchase for maybe frozen Sting Nettle, if Sting Nettle is not available to forage? Please and Thank you.🙂
What a great channel just stumbled across it very informative.
This is a great video. Great direction you're going. Read up on the Genetic Disposition Theory. I'm finding it to just be location and diet. Our food supply is killing us daily.
It's not east to give up cereals, i've been trying for a few years. First year i forgot to give up beer and recently i noticed there is some form of wheat in the vegan candy i buy for the kids (which i snack on). I also ate by mistake a few times some vegan ben and jerries but it had wheat in it.
I've been vegan for around 20 years so i'm kind of used to giving things up. So now i'm also giving up spirits which leaves me mainly with wine cider and some less strong liqueurs, (they say to also give up spirits).
I get super itchy, runny eyes, sometimes they skin over when i rub them and can feel like needles poking in my eyes. I also get asthma when things get really bad.
The other night i accepted an impromptu dinner at a friends but it was wheat pasta, I had been coming fairly well but the very next day i had chronic sinusitis and developed a nasty cough, causing me to cough up lots of phlegm.
Now, a few days later i'm regretting the pasta meal.
After watching this i'm dumping spirulina in my tea and running out to the garden to get some nettles. I have tried nettles before and had been harvesting them and drying them a few years back. However i have not yet tried the combo of all of the above.
Awesome video! I haven't tried most of what you mentioned here, however I do take a teaspoon of local raw honey daily when my allergies would be at their worst. I have been doing this for several years, and haven't had an issue with allergies since.
Someone told me once that you’re supposed to eat spring honey for your spring allergies and fall hoodie for your fall allergies as those are the plants that are affecting you. Have you heard anything about this?
@@t-mac6210 Can't say that I have, but it would make sense. Unfortunately I don't have the option of requesting spring or fall honey from the people I buy from, but at least I'm getting really local honey (less than 20km from me).
You look really healthy bro
Locally grown raw honey 1 tsp per day. That's all you need. ( I also agree with being gluten free)
Awesome! Thank you for making this! 👍
Excellent video, very interesting how different things can interfere with each other, I love to see more like this one, especially of herbs so-called "weeds" like horsetail or dandelion
When I became a vegan my body said thank you so much ,that was 40 years ago, am going to stop eating gluten now
I just watched the video about stinging nettle I am more interested in foraging than ever.id love to hook up with a foraging expert for advice and learn about foraging for food and +. I am an avid gardener. I grew up on a vegetable farm but know almost nothing about wild edible plants. My grandfather even with one hand would spend a great deal of time gathering dandelion plants and preparing them with bacon or salt pork. He had considerable skills for foraging of which I didn't have much appreciation for at that time. He past away a long time ago and his skills died with him and I could use his skills at this time.
I accidently found out that I'm allergic to eating land mammals, most likely due to the alpha-gal Gene from a tick bite.
I used to get sinus infections from allergies at least twice a year, so I was referred to an allergist for testing. That's when I found out about the meat, so I largely cut it out. Here we are, 3 years later, no meds, no infections, and much more comfortable!
It's interesting to see that sugar, milk and gluten is a reoccurring thing that triggers a lot of issues in people.
Much appreciated bro, I've been getting rocked by allergies in the last couple years. Looking forward to trying this out. I'll gladly give gluten the axe if this reduces symptoms.
Adam, what is the leaf volume in making a nettle tea?
