UK Food Allergies On The Rise

2009-10-29T07:49:00.000-07:00

Figures by Allergy

, a charity set up to help the millions of Brits afflicted with a range of allergies, suggest that almost half of the country’s population is affected by food intolerance. With this in mind, AllergyBestBuys, the leading provider of anti-allergy products, allergy remedies and eczema products, is urging sufferers to take control of the condition.

Scientists have recently suggested that food additives, pollution and the everyday stresses of life have all contributed to the rise in numbers of sufferers, whose symptoms can often present in the form of bloating, irritable bowl syndrome (IBS) and, in some instances, even Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory bowel disease.

Janet Rhodes, from the firm which specialises in a range of food allergy and food intolerance products, said, “With evidence suggesting that more people are experiencing food intolerance than ever before, it is essential these sufferers take the right steps as soon as possible to control the symptoms. It is important to note that symptoms of food intolerance show a much slower reaction than food allergy, the reaction to the food taking place several hours or days later. This is different to food allergy, which produces a swift reaction from the immune system to a specific food, which can be life threatening.”

Research also suggests that food intolerance can often present itself in less obvious ways, such as through migraines, chronic fatigue, eczema, depression and joint pains.

Ms. Rhodes added, “Here at AllergyBestBuys, we offer a range of food intolerance products, from books and guides to testing kits and international cuisine guides, allowing you to make the most of your favourite foods at home or when eating out while avoiding dishes that are not suitable for you. Our team, which can be contacted via our website, can provide further advice and guidance, to ensure any problems you have with food intolerance can be addressed as soon as possible.”

About AllergyBestBuys: Living with allergies can be a real challenge. Here at AllergyBestBuys we offer safe, tested products that can help you avoid the triggers that set off an allergic reaction or provide comfort and relief when symptoms strike. If you have asthma, eczema, hay fever, allergies or food intolerance we hope you’ll find something among the pages of our catalogue or on our website that can help you or your family cope with your allergy needs.

‘Home Testing Essential For Allergy Prevention’ Claim AllergyBestBuys

2009-10-21T06:22:00.000-07:00

With recent research indicating that by 2060 up to half the population will be expected to have hayfever, interest is increasing in ways for detecting and preventing many different types of allergies. The Imutest Allergy check home testing kit from AllergyBestBuys is a must to assist every home in preventing and alleviating a host of allergies.

The Imutest Allergy check home testing kits test for cat, dustmite, pollen, milk or egg allergy with a hospital-standard test you can do at home with results in just 30 minutes. This is a time saving option that can reassure families what allergies they may or may not have.

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys a mail order supplier of a full range of anti-allergy products, said, “Imutest Allergy check is a range of home allergy tests to help people with asthma, eczema and other allergy related diseases to find out what could be triggering their symptoms.”

AllergyBestBuys advise that you should first take the General Allergy Check, which shows whether your level of allergy antibodies (IgE) is high or normal. If your result indicates a high level you can then identify your specific allergy using the tests for an allergy to Cats, Dust mites, Pollen, Milk and Eggs.

Simply add a drop of blood obtained safely and easily with the finger pricker provided. The test kit detects raised levels of IgE allergy antibodies in the blood, same as a hospital allergy test.

Once you know what you are sensitive to you can confidently seek medical advice and develop a management plan to help cope with your allergy and reduce or possibly eliminate your symptoms.

Imutest Allergy Check® has been registered with the UK medical device regulators (MRHA) and has CE accreditation through the British Standards Institution (BSI) for self test use and also for professional use by doctors, pharmacists and laboratory scientists throughout Europe according to the EU IVD directive 98/79/EC.

Allergy UK says that allergy is widespread and affects approximately one in four of the population in the UK at some time of their lives. Each year the numbers are increasing by five per cent and up to half of these are children. It is important to continually keep checking for allergies because if you have for example hay fever-like symptoms such as a blocked or runny nose and itchy eyes it is important to identify the trigger that sets of these reactions so you can take steps to avoid exposure to it. Allergies can start in childhood or as an adult as sensitivity can build up over time, even to allergens that you were not sensitive to before. Similarly, once you have tested positive it is important to re-test yourself from time to time, as some allergies can subside or children can grow out of them.

The Imutest Allergy check home test kits from Allergy Best Buys complements its already extensive collection of tried and tested allergy relief products for the home.

Get A Good Night’s Sleep With AllergyBestBuys

2009-10-21T06:02:00.001-07:00

If you are looking to combat night-time wheezing, itching or other symptoms associated with common allergies, AllergyBestBuys, a market leader in the provision of anti-allergy products online, has a range of anti-allergy bedding on offer to make your restless, itchy night a quiet and peaceful one.

Seven out of ten allergy sufferers react to the allergen produced by the house dustmite, a microscopic member of the spider family that lives primarily on dead skin cells found in warm and humid places in the home. Pillows, mattresses and duvets make a particularly favourite spot for these critters.

Janet Rhodes, from the firm which specialises in allergy remedies, eczema products and hayfever solutions, said, “We only sell bedding products, including mattress protectors and dustmite proof pillow barrier covers, that meet the special requirements of our customers. All the bedding has been fully tested either in laboratories or by clinical or field trials, offering our customers guaranteed protection against the dustmite allergen that affects asthma, eczema and rhinitis.”

Ms Rhodes advises that the most important product to help reduce the symptoms of allergies at night is an allergen barrier covers for pillows. The Medivac brand offers comfort, effectiveness and affordability and you can buy VAT-free if you have an allergy or condition made worse by contact with dustmite allergen.

Another range of products that can help to combat the problems of night-time allergies is AllergyBestBuy’s range of allergen barrier covers for mattresses, which have been designed to provide night-time comfort with maximum protection from dustmite, pet and pollen allergens. The CottonFresh ‘Naturelle’ Mattress Barrier Covers completely encase your pillow, duvet and mattress and so you can rest assured you have complete protection overnight – in fact, even the zips are dustmite-proof!

Ms. Rhodes added, “Unlike other anti-allergy bedding available, the range stocked by AllergyBestBuys has been selected by our experts to ensure our customers will get the best protection from allergens at night-time, while also providing maximum comfort. In fact, many of the items in this range also have the Seal of Approval of Allergy

and are available free of VAT.”

Medivac Vacuum Cleaners, Exclusive To AllergyBestBuys

2009-09-30T03:02:00.000-07:00

There are a number of vacuum cleaners available which can make health claims but only one, the Medivac, has been recognised as a genuine medical device. These superb cleaners are exclusive to AllergyBestBuys, the online suppliers of asthma products, hayfever remedies and mattress covers.

Asthmatics and eczema sufferers are often advised to vacuum floors and beds and to dust daily. If this is done with an ordinary vacuum cleaner the machine simply churns out more allergens. Dust escaping from the body of the machine or through its exhaust filtration system means that airborne allergen particles are easily inhaled and goes some way to explaining the unexpected increase in patients' symptoms recorded after doctors have recommended frequent vacuum cleaning.

Janet Rhodes of AllergyBestBuys who specialise in allergy remedies and hayfever products, said, “Tackling allergens is now big business for vacuum cleaner manufacturers and our researchers found that the majority of the more expensive models on the market now offer a HEPA - High Efficiency Particulate Air filter - to pick up tiny allergen particles. But these filters are tested in isolation in the laboratory, not during actual use in the machine. For allergy sufferers, how much dust a vacuum cleaner can pick up is irrelevant if it can't retain it.”

The Medivac Microfilter is the only vacuum cleaner on the market that has been designed specifically for allergy sufferers whose medical condition is made worse by contact with the house dust mite allergen.

Each Medivac Microfilter is individually tested to conform to the British Standards High Filtration Test and is issued with a Quality Assurance Certificate. This means that the whole machine, not just the filter, is certified to retain 99.99% of particles as tiny as 0.3 microns. No other manufacturer offers this degree or protection for people with asthma or allergies.

Ms Rhodes from the company who specialise in products to deal with a dairy allergy or cat allergy added, “Medivac is the vacuum recommended by doctors. There are two Medivac models and both have been classified as a medical device. They are available free of VAT in the UK and all countries in the EU for adults and children who have a qualifying medical condition such as asthma, eczema or rhinitis.”

Start School Safely With AllergyBestBuys

2009-09-22T02:57:00.000-07:00

As thousands of children make their journey through the school gates this month, AllergyBestBuys, the leading providers of anti allergy products online, offers parents of children with asthma, eczema and food allergies a range of really useful solutions to help keep them safe this school year.

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, the leading provider of anti allergy products, skin eczema products and hay fever solutions, said, “Starting the new school year, primary or secondary, can be a daunting experience for both parents and children, but if your child has an allergy, there’s the additional worry of him or her being vigilant about avoiding allergens without your help.

It’s important that your child’s form teacher, PE staff and lunch supervisors are all made aware of your child’s asthma, eczema or food intolerance and making an appointment to discuss your child's allergy with the school’s head teacher will really help to put your mind at rest. Alternatively, why not write a letter including an up to date photo of your child explaining the allergy so that members of staff know of any foods or products which should be avoided”. Ms Rhodes added, “Break times can be a particular problem, especially as very young children can be tempted to share their snacks. Parents should take steps to emphasize from a very early age that their child must not share snacks and ask the teacher to give regular reminders to all classmates about this rule.”

The new AllergyBestBuys catalogue and website offers Allergy Alert sticker badges for children at nursery and infant school and Allergy Alert bracelets and pendants for older children. These can be engraved with your contact doctor’s details should they have a serious allergic reaction at school. With so many members of a class using an asthma inhaler, helping your child identify his own and keeping it clean and safe is made easy with AllergyBestbuys’ funky Puffapouch covers. If your child’s eczema is made worse by touching modelling clay or glue or wet sand AllergyBestBuys has specially designed comfortable cotton gloves in sizes to fit from two years old. When wearing gloves isn’t practical, a brilliant alternative is Gloves in a Bottle lotion which is undetectable in use and provides a complete barrier to irritants. Children who react badly to chlorine can use Gloves in a Bottle on arms, legs and body too and join in school swimming activities without risk of a flare-up.

AllergyBestBuys - Solutions For Egg & Dairy Allergies

2009-09-22T02:49:00.000-07:00

Eggs and dairy products like milk and cheese are a leading cause of food allergy. Egg allergy is most common in babies and children under the age of one. About half of all children who are allergic to eggs will have grown out of it by the time they are three, and the allergy has normally gone by the age of six. Occasionally, however, egg allergy can carry on into adult life, especially if a person has eczema or other allergies. It can also, in some cases, begin in adulthood.

Janet Rhodes of AllergyBestBuys, specialists in allergy remedies and anti-allergy products, said, “If you have egg allergy, antibodies are produced when you come into contact with egg in any form - dried, cooked or raw or milk in its lliquid form or as cheese or cream. These antibodies (IgE) see the egg or milk is harmful and this leads to certain cells releasing chemicals including histamine which triggers the symptoms of an allergic reaction such as a rash, swelling or breathing difficulties.”

The symptoms of egg allergy come on very suddenly in babies and young children, usually within minutes or even seconds of eating an egg or something with egg in it. In children, the symptoms of egg allergy include a rash around the mouth, swelling in and around the mouth and on the face, wheezing or being sick. The symptoms of egg allergy are very similar for adults but you may be more likely to develop skin swelling or hives.

AllergyBestBuys has a range of great products to help egg and dairy allergy sufferers. A hospital-standard allergy test kit for Egg Allergy & Milk Allergy is available for home use for under £20 and gives accurate results in 30 minutes. You should repeat this test annually, as both egg and milk allergiy can recede. Allergy Alert sticker badges are invaluable for parents to use on their childen’s clothing so that their allergic child is not offered egg or dairy. They come in packs of 45. An excellent range of books to help manage food allergy includes a multilingual phrase book to help with a food allergy when abroad and the new edition of ‘Let’s Eat Out’ is ideal when dining out with coeliac disease or any of 10 common food allergies.

Ms Rhodes from AllergyBestBuys adds “One of the best ways egg or dairy allergy sufferers can manage their condition is through careful cooking. One of our most popular recipe books is ‘Dairy and Egg Free Cake Recipes,’ is a particularly good choice for those with egg or dairy allergy and a sweet tooth as it gives them the chance to enjoy their favourite cakes without the fear of an allergic reaction.”

AllergyBestBuys - Helping Pets With Allergies

2009-09-16T04:24:00.000-07:00

According to the British Allergy Foundation, approximately one in four of the UK population will suffer from an allergy at some point in their lives. However, it isn’t just us humans that suffer from allergies to mites, foods or pollen. Our loveable animal companions can also suffer from the problem of allergies and now AllergyBestBuys, the online suppliers of asthma products and eczema treatment, can offer a range of solutions to help pets suffering with allergies.

An allergy is a reaction through contact, ingestion or inhalation of an allergen, such as pollens, insects or foods. If an animal is repeatedly exposed to an allergen the resistance of its immune system will weaken, often resulting in poor health. This can be true of many household pets including dogs, cats and horses and there are various ways in which pets can suffer from such allergies.

Janet Rhodes of AllergyBestBuys who specialise in allergy remedies and hayfever products, said, “Pets, like humans, can react to dust mite allergens by developing asthma or skin problems. Symptoms can range from itching, poor coat texture or length, to hot spots and self mutilation. Dogs can also suffer from flea allergy which is a reaction to proteins in the saliva of the flea. This manifests itself as inflamed skin and severe itching and a single bite can cause a reaction for up to a week.”

To help alleviate these symptoms in our pets, AllergyBestBuys now offers specialist anti-allergy pet bedding. Using the same technology as in the pillows and duvets for humans the bedding prevents the development of dust mites, fungi, fleas and bacteria which makes a safe, protective bed for your pet. The generous sized bedding can be cut down to fit in your pet’s bed or basket and it protects against canine and feline asthma, irritated skin, infections and ringworm. It is also widely recommended by vets and carries the British Allergy Foundation's Seal of Approval.

AllergyBestBuys also offer a dechlorinating shower head which is a totally natural and environmentally safe way to remove chlorine from your shower water. It is recommended for any pets with sensitive skin, eczema, asthma or chemical sensitivity.

Mrs Rhodes, from the company who specialise in products to help those with a dust allergy or dairy allergy added, “As well as providing a wide range of products to help people cope with their allergies we are aware that pets can often suffer the same symptoms. With our range of products suitable for our four legged friends we can now also make their allergies easier to deal with.”

AllergyBestBuys Bust Eczema Myths

2009-09-16T04:20:00.000-07:00

In light of startling figures which show that the incidence rates of skin eczema have risen by 40 per-cent in just four years, AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, the leading providers of anti allergy products, are answering some of the most common questions asked of this painful condition.

My Skin often breaks out in painful rashes how do I know if this is eczema? And is eczema characterised by certain symptoms?
Eczema is characterised by reccurring skin rashes, itching, dryness, blistering, cracking, red and painful areas of skin.

How is eczema medically diagnosed?
Eczema is medically diagnosed by your GP who may refer you to a dermatologist. You may be prescribed steroid creams to reduce inflammation. Where the condition is acute, a nurse may show you how to apply damp bandages at nighttime to help keep the skin from drying out.

What can I do to prevent and treat the symptoms?
Many things can trigger eczema including chemicals, soaps, detergents and shampoos. In some sufferers pollen and dust mite can aggravate the symptoms, so it is essential that you monitor reactions to aggressors and act accordingly. Eczema is a chronic condition but can be kept under control by identifying and then avoiding the triggers that lead to a flare-up. Using emollient creams such as our TriCeram Barrier Repair Emollient can relieve symptoms, and your skin could benefit from using bamboo fibre towels and Dermatherapy sheets which have been specifically designed for sensitive skins.

Can the sun make my eczema better?
Exposure to the UV radiation given off from the sun can help some people’s eczema, but for others it can cause overheating and lead to intense itching and discomfort.

Is swimming out of the question if I have eczema?
Swimming in chlorinated pools has a drying effect on the skin, so for skin that is already dry from eczema if the pool has a lot of chlorine in it, it will probably cause flare ups. One solution is to cover the body with a shielding lotion like Skin MD Natural that provides an invisible barrier between the skin and the chlorine.

Experts Link Allergies To A Specific Gene

2009-09-01T08:52:00.000-07:00

As new research is aired that links allergies such as eczema, rhinitis, and asthma to a specific gene, AllergyBestBuys, the leading providers of anti allergy products online are telling sufferers not to give up hope as solutions do exist.

The research from the University of Edinburgh showed that around one in ten people have defects to the ‘filaggrin’ gene, thought to be the main cause of such ailments. According to the figures, it is these defects which make it more likely that an individual will suffer from an allergy.

It is thought that the filaggrin gene may be the root of the cause because it helps to maintain an effective skin barrier against the environment.

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, the leading provider of anti allergy products, skin eczema products and hay fever solutions, said, “This new research is excellent news for the medical world, because in the future this gene could prove to be instrumental in diagnosing those at risk before an allergic reaction takes root.”

Offering some excellent products to help sufferers of athsma and eczema, AllergyBestBuys have soured the globe for the very best solutions. Because it’s important to avoid the triggers that can cause an eczema flare-up they offer chemical-free Eco-Balls for the laundry, Nickel Solution to protect against contact dermatitis and Gloves in a Bottle to shield hands and feet from irritants.

Getting a decent night’s sleep is a big concern for eczema sufferers and their families. The AllergyBestBuys All-In-One Sleepsuit, is great for children between three months and three years, as the gentle cotton sleepsuit has mittens to protect from scratching and grown-on feet to soothe sore skin.

For the 5.2 million sufferers of athsma right here in the UK, The Window-filta allergen screen, dubbed by Chris Steele, This Mornings resident doctor as ‘A brilliant, simple idea”, is the ideal companion for sufferers this summer.

This specialist product is a removable electrostatic air filter for windows, which allows asthma and hayfever sufferers to get a good night’s sleep and it even allows sufferers to ventilate their rooms during the summer months where many are forced to keep the windows closed in avoidance of air based allergens.

AllergyBestBuys Offer Solutions To Dust Mite Allergy

2009-08-19T06:07:00.000-07:00

With thousands of sufferers of dustmite allergies living right here in the UK, AllergyBestBuys, the online suppliers of asthma products and eczema treatment, offers a range of solutions to alleviate the day to day difficulties of living with an allergic reaction.

Microscopically small dustmites live in our homes and survive by absorbing oxygen and moisture from the environment and feed on shed skin. The mites produce up to twenty droppings a day over their lifecycle of between three and four months and this excrement contains digestive enzymes which are a major cause of allergy.

Dust Mite Allergy is a reaction to these enzymes. These proteins attack the respiratory passages causing rhinitis and asthma and as dust mites live in our homes all year round, there is no seasonal relief.

For people with an allergy to mites, continued exposure to them can be a trigger to a range of chronic symptoms. Innovative and effective solutions to the problem of dust mites have therefore been welcomed by many allergy sufferers.

One popular solution is to use a tested, specialist vacuum cleaner designed with allergy sufferers in mind. A bagless vacuum cleaner such as the Thomas Genius Aquafilter binds dustmites in water rather than gathering them into a dust bag. The water acts as an effective filter meaning the air coming out of the machine is clean and fresh and fine particles cannot be blown back into the air. As there is no dustbag to empty, the dirt and dustmites are simply poured away with the water at the end of the cleaning task.

Dustmites favourite food is our old skin cells, so one of their favourite homes is a place where we spend a third of our time – the bed. Many dust mite allergy solutions therefore focus on protecting bed linen, mattresses and pillows from dustmite allergen.

Janet Rhodes of AllergyBestBuys who specialise in allergy remedies and mattress covers, said, “There are many bedding solutions available to people suffering with dustmite allergies. Cotton barrier covers are available which encase your duvet, mattress and pillows but let you use your own bed linen over the top. They are cool and comfortable and provide an excellent barrier against dust mites and other allergens. Our top-selling brand is Naturelle made from Cottonfresh specially woven cotton fabric. Naturelle covers are available VAT-free if you have asthma or dustmite allergies.”

Bedding should be washed at a minimum of sixty degrees as this is the temperature at which the DNA of the dustmite allergen is destroyed. Experts suggest airing bedding regularly and avoiding stuffed soft toys that harbour dustmites unless they can be washed at 60C. Some people recommend placing toys, pillows or duvets in a plastic bag in the freezer for twenty-four hours a week, but although this will kill the dustmites the allergen will remain as it is water soluble and only destroyed at a temperature of 60C or above.

Mrs Rhodes added, “AllergyBestBuys has a range of hypoallergenic pillows and duvets called FeatherFresh filled with specially treated natural feather and down that can be washed at up to boiling point. Featherfresh duvets and pillows were originally made for hospital use, so they can withstand repeated washing at high temperatures and remain hypoallergenic and free of dustmites. They are also luxurious and supremely comfortable. They are individually made and one of the main advantages is that they can be washed at home as often as necessary. They also come in a dust mite proof cotton case.”

'Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder On The Rise' Claim Allergy Experts

2009-07-31T05:55:00.000-07:00

Often described as a winter-specific condition, medical experts are reporting an increase in patients suffering from Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder or Summer SAD. Now Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, leading provider of anti allergy products, is offering advice to those who consider themselves to be most at risk.

Causing poor appetite, weight loss, agitation and anxiety, Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder also instigates ongoing feelings of hopelessness or helplessness, feelings of guilt, loss of interest or pleasure in activities previously enjoyed and physical problems such as headaches and stomach aches.

Ms Rhodes said, “Many people with summer SAD report feeling ‘attacked by the sun’. One woman reported the sun feeling ‘like it’s piercing into me.' She went on to say, 'I start to feel more and more desperate to escape it. I have a hard time organizing and managing my daily life. By August, I’m barely able to function and don’t really recover until autumn. October is a good month. I’m waking up, and I feel like I’m being released from summer, what I would call a jail cell.’”

One study even found that people with severe summer depression also had higher temperatures at night whereas among healthy people, temperatures tend to drop during the night. During the study, the patients were cooled down with a reverse thermal blanket and their symptoms decreased. After the treatment was over however, the patients walked out into the summer heat and as their temperatures rose, their symptoms returned; thus showing that re-entering a hot summer environment undid whatever affect the treatment might have had.

To aid sufferers in their search for a better night’s sleep, the experts at AllergyBestBuys offer a range of products aimed at reducing body temperature overnight, including the Chillow Pillow, thin cotton DreamBag, Cotton Cellular Blankets or their SilkWash SuperCool duvet.

Offering bedtime comfort, the Chillow Pillow is a unique personal cooling pad, only two centimetres thick, designed to keep your pillow cool. Simply fill with water and slip it inside your pillow cover or sit it on top of your pillow and once activated the Chillow will keep on working and remain cooler than your body.

'Oral Allergies On Increase' Warns The Leading Provider Of Anti Allergy Products

2009-07-23T06:43:00.000-07:00

Does your mouth tingle or itch when you bite into an apple? Recent media reports indicate that the number of people suffering from Oral Allergy Syndrome - typically triggered by exposure to fruit and vegetables - is soaring, with the number of OAS sufferers likely to exceed peanut allergy sufferers.

AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, leading provider of anti allergy products, says 40% of their customers with hayfever or allergic rhinitis commonly suffer symptoms of OAS including itching or tingling and possibly redness and swelling, of the lips, tongue, inside of the mouth or throat, itching in the ears and/or a hoarse voice.

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, leading provider of anti allergy products, said, “Oral Allergy Syndrome is linked to hayfever and more specifically to birch pollen allergy. There is cross reactivity between the proteins in the pollen with those in the fruit, which causes the problem. This sort of reaction can also be exacerbated by pollution, which can make pollen more allergenic.”

With mild fruit and vegetable allergies, it is possible to suppress its effects, with simple measures that can be carried out at home. Peeling fruit or vegetables or cooking them will denature the proteins.

For those who suspect they have an allergy to pollen, AllergyBestBuys offers a hospital-standard test to help people identify whether pollen could be triggering their symptoms. The home test is a clinically proven IgE allergy blood test, just like those used in hospital laboratories and gives results in just 30 minutes.

There is a terrific chapter on Oral Allergy Syndrome and its links with hayfever in Professor Jonathan Brostoff’s book ‘The Complete Guide to Food Allergy & Intolerance’ which lists the foods involved in OAS and tells you in which months to avoid them. He also explains connections between OAS and asthma, eczems and IBS.

Natural Insect Repellent Patches from Allergy Best Buys

2009-07-14T09:31:00.000-07:00

All-over body protection from biting insects for 36 hours from one simple natural vitamin patch!

Insect repellent creams, sprays and roll-ons only protect the area of skin to which they are applied, but these new Natural Insect Repellent Patches work to protect the whole body.

The Patches contain 75mg of Thiamine (Vitamin B1), a natural vitamin. As the body typically needs less than 2mg of Thiamine a day for optimum health, the excess is passed out through the urine, breath and skin. This works with the body's own chemistry to create a harmless invisible layer as it is excreted through the skin's pores, providing a barrier that is 96% effective against mosquitoes, midges and sandflies. Although odourless to humans, biting insects hate the smell of Thiamine and go elsewhere for an alternative source of food.

Each Patch becomes effective two hours after it is applied to a clean, dry, hairless area of skin and protects for 36 hours. Non-latex adhesive.

A packet of 10 Patches provides protection for one person for a fortnight's holiday.
Please note - although the Patches are 100% natural and only contain Vitamin B1 they have not been tested for use by pregnant women.

Homeopathic Hayfever Desensitisation Kit

2009-07-02T07:21:00.000-07:00

Hayfever? Desensitise NOW before the season begins!

A totally natural remedy to make the miseries of hayfever a thing of the past

Oral grass pollen immunotherapy has recently been given the green light by the UK's Committee on the Safety of Medicines. The treatment, known as sub-lingual immunotherapy, (SLIT) is available by referral on the NHS and in some allergy clinics. It involves diluting a standard extract of grass pollen and placing a drop under the tongue starting several weeks before the hayfever season begins and continuing on a regular basis during it. It helps the majority of patients with minimal side effects and no dangerous reactions. The down-side is that the treatment is very expensive, each dose costing around £67. You should expect to pay around £1,000 in a private allergy clinic for a full course.

Homeopathy - the method of treating like with like - offers a similar approach and shows particularly successful results for hayfever. Our Homeopathic Hayfever Desensitisation Kit provides a simple, 2-year programme to build immunity that is very effective and highly recommended.

Ideally you should start the course before the hayfever season begins (ie with tree pollens at the end of January/beginning of February in the UK), to prevent the onset of symptoms. But if like most people you don't start to think about the problem until the runny nose and itchy eyes begin, it's not too late to start the treatment even if the pollen count is high.

The treatment involves taking the remedies every day for two weeks, then two of the remedies are taken once a week for the whole of the pollen season. The Mixed Remedy for First Aid Relief helps with your symptoms until the desensitisation has had a chance to work.

The whole process is repeated in the second year, but significant relief is usually obtained in the first year.

More than just a bottle of homeopathic pollens, the Synergist and First Aid Relief remedy included in this Kit make it special and uniquely effective. Beneficially, the plant and grass pollens are in separate bottles and this helps your body become desensitised to them reliably and safely.

The Homeopathic Hayfever Desensitisation Kit contains four essential homeopathic remedies for the treatment of hayfever:

5ml dropper bottle Mixed Grass Pollens - a desensitisation remedy for the 12 most common grass pollens
5ml dropper bottle Mixed Plant Pollens - a desensitisation remedy for the 30 most troublesome plant pollens
5ml dropper bottle Synergist - a remedy sourced from various common herbs which increases the effectiveness of the desensitisation process
5ml dropper bottle Mixed Remedy for First Aid Relief - to provide relief from hayfever symptoms until the desensitisation process is complete

You can buy any of the above Pollens and the Mixed First Aid Remedy separately to top up your treatment if necessary. You will not need the Synergist in the second year|

If you know you are specifically allergic to the following pollens you can add
5ml dropper bottle Tree Pollens
5ml dropper bottle Rapeseed Pollen
5ml dropper bottle Mixed Weed & Shrub Pollens

Full instructions and information sheets included

The remedies are suitable for vegetarians and vegans

Tester's Tip: A Pollen Test will confirm your allergy, but for best results it is wise to have a test for dustmite and cat allergy as these could be contributing to your hayfever symptoms.

Bingley Based Firm Buck Credit Crunch With Increased Sales

2009-05-21T01:59:00.000-07:00

Bingley Based firm AllergyBestBuys are bucking the current financial downturn, with increased sales and unprecedented growth – proving that the allergy industry is big business for those who combine both clever marketing strategies and expert know-how.

AllergyBestBuys.com Ltd conducts business online, providing allergy remedies, eczema products and hayfever relief to those who need it most, providing many sufferers with relief after years of discomfort. With an estimated 12.2 million allergy sufferers in the UK alone, the allergy market is big business for those with the drive to make it a success. According to The British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology, it is worth a staggering £64 million a year.

Started 15 years ago by marketing expert Tui Esser and Robert Stell, who has a background in the textile industry, AllergyBestBuys.com Ltd began by producing pillows and bedding that could be sterilized for infection control for the NHS. It was from here that the duo realised that their revolutionary hospital products could be suited to a much wider audience as allergy sufferers could benefit from natural bedding that could be kept free of dust mites by being home-washed at high temperatures. The Featherfresh boil-washable natural feather and down pillow was launched and met with an immediate enthusiastic response from asthma and allergy sufferers and remains one of AllergyBestBuys’ bestselling anti-allergy bedding products.

Stating research and a passion for allergy solutions as core to their success, Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, said, “Although we hear of many firms folding under the pressure of the credit crunch, struggling to hold on to existing customers or having to reduce their staffing numbers, we are still in a very positive trading position as our sales are on the increase. The stability of the allergy industry is undisputed, as sufferers will always require solutions. At this time of the year for example our sales of products for hayfever and rhinitis are at their peak.”

Today AllergyBestBuys runs its growing mail order business from its converted barn warehouse on the moors above Bingley and employs a loyal team of local part time staff to dispatch the products and work in telesales. Find out more and buy online at www.allergybestbuys.co.uk.

Children With Multiple Allergies On The Increase

2009-05-13T04:34:00.001-07:00

In light of recent figures, which indicate that specialist UK clinics are being overrun with patients who are suffering with multiple allergies, Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, leading provider of anti allergy products, is offering advice to those most at risk.

With an estimated 40 per-cent of the population now suffering from more than one allergy, experts are citing all sorts of reasons for this marked increase including climate change, lifestyle and increased exposure to aggressors. Food allergies in particular are on the increase especially in youngsters, with dairy coming top of the table, giving rise to a whole host of undesirable symptoms including diarrhoea, flatulence, bloating, and constipation.

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, who offer dust allergy relief, eczema treatments, asthma products and hayfever remedies, said, “We have noticed an increase in the amount of parents in particular who are contacting us regarding their children’s allergies, and we are finding more and more incidents of children who have more than one allergy. It is common for asthma sufferers to develop hayfever and sometimes skin eczema too for example, but we are also finding more and more customers are showing symptoms relating to more than one food allergy too.”

Parents concerned about their children can now carry out a simple finger prick test at home for allergy to pollen, cats, egg, milk or wheat. These new tests give an accurate result in minutes and can be helpful as a first step in identifying the culprits. If your child is found to be a sufferer of multiple food allergies, one of the best books to help is ‘Food Allergy & Your Child’ available from AllergBestBuys.co.uk. This expert approach covers topics including weaning allergic babies, socialising safely, living positively with food allergy and starting pre-school. Priced at just £14.99, this can prove to be a useful guide, especially if you are new to allergy living.

Alternatively, The Allergy free Cookbook, also available from AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, is ideal for any family where there are multiple food allergies as each recipe has a version excluding the four main allergens: egg, dairy, nuts and gluten. There are over 100 step-by-step recipes, all beautifully illustrated, written with experience by a mother whose own son has multiple food allergies.

Allergy Week 2009 Set To Raise Awareness

2009-05-01T03:01:00.000-07:00

Figures for allergic conditions in the UK have increased threefold in the last 20 years. With the number set to rise, the promotion of Allergy Week is being welcomed by experts in the field. The annual event, which is initiated by AllergyUK and runs 11-15th May, was introduced to raise awareness of allergies and to provide more support for the UK’s growing population of sufferers.

Experts believe that the number of allergies, particularly food sensitivities, is rising due to exposure to a wider range of foods at a much younger age. New figures also show that allergies are more likely to be complex and that the reactions have become worse in their severity. As the start of summer means hayfever hell for a third of the UK’s population and also worsens asthma, now is the time to start becoming more proactive in managing symptoms.

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, leading provider of anti allergy products, skin eczema solutions and hayfever relief said, “Many people fail to treat their allergies correctly, mainly because resources and advice are not widely available. At AllergyBestBuys.co.uk we have a range of anti allergy products and a wealth of information to ensure that you understand your allergy as well as you can.” Several excellent books on controlling reactions and maintaining a normal lifestyle are available on the website.

Testing is essential and is the first step to correctly managing distressing symptoms that can make life very difficult for those with allergies. While symptoms are often perceived to be little more than runny eyes and a bunged-up nose, some people may encounter allergic reactions that are severe enough to be life-threatening.

Ms. Rhodes added, “Allergy testing is crucial in this day and age, especially for young children as many allergies begin in early childhood. AllergyBestBuys.co.uk supply inexpensive home tests which can help arm you with the knowledge to take the next steps in dealing with an allergy. We also stock a range of allergy and medical alert jewellery, which can be the difference between life and death should you have an allergic reaction.”

Hayfever To Make An Early Comeback

2009-04-27T04:02:00.000-07:00

With medical experts anticipating the launch of the hayfever season three weeks earlier this year, many are left blurry eyed at the very thought of this year’s intake of air born spores, sore eyes and sneezing. It is expected that the next few days will bring much more than sunny spells, as the Birch Trees, which are a main trigger for around a quarter of the UK’s sufferers, are already starting to blossom.

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, leading provider of anti allergy products, skin eczema solutions and hayfever relief said, “Hayfever is caused by an allergy to pollen. Most people find that they are allergic to grass pollen, which usually peaks around May and July, but tree pollen, from Birch Trees in particular is another common culprit.”

With over 15 million people in the UK suffering from the effects of hayfever, and a marked increase in the amount of children and teenagers now suffering throughout the summer months, it seems that gentle solutions are still rather thin on the ground.

Mrs Rhodes, from the firm which has scoured the globe in search of innovative solutions to hayfever added, “Air born spores will hit the sensitive membranes in your nose, throat and eyes. For those who are allergic to pollen, this can result in inflammation and will trigger symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, asthma aggravation and itchy eyes.”

Homeopathy, the method of treating like with like, offers a similar approach to the desensitisation programmes offered by allergy clinics and shows particularly successful results for hayfever. You can now buy a Homeopathic Hayfever Desensitisation Kit to treat yourself at home that provides a simple, two-year programme to build immunity that is very effective and highly recommended.

Those who seek out natural solutions are often disappointed by what they are presented with during a trip to the chemist, when they are more often than not offered a box of over-priced pills, which are known to cause unwanted side effects, which is what makes the Homeopathic Hayfever Desensitisation Kit so unique. Sufferers are advised to begin the course before the hayfever season begins, to prevent the onset of symptoms. However, if like most people, you do not start to think about the problem until the runny nose and itchy eyes begin, it is not too late to start the treatment even if the pollen count is high.

The treatment involves taking a couple of drops of the pollen remedies every day for two weeks, then two of the remedies are taken once a week for the whole of the pollen season. The whole process is repeated in the second year, but significant relief is usually obtained in the first year.The Homeopathic Hayfever Desensitisation Kit contains Mixed Grass and Plant Pollens. If you have a specific problem with Tree, Weed & Shrub or Rape pollen, there are individual phials of these pollens too.

Support and Guidance for Egg Allergy Sufferers

2009-04-16T09:18:00.000-07:00

Painting hardboiled eggs in bright colours at Easter is an age-old tradition that takes place in many primary schools across the country every year. However, for one school in Scotland, the children will be reminded that this seemingly harmless activity can pose a health risk to some of their classmates.

Pupils at Crombie Primary school in Aberdeen are banned from painting real eggs and will have to make do with polystyrene substitutes, as two of the 360 pupils suffer from an egg allergy. Whilst parents have slammed the decision, Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, the leading provider of anti allergy products, said, “For many young children with an egg allergy, stringent precautions have to be taken to minimise all risks of an allergic reaction. If egg protein is consumed, the child may experience hives, vomiting, diarrhoea or coughing and wheezing within minutes. Severe allergic reactions can be life-threatening, and would require an injection of epinephrine.”

“This is a difficult situation for many parents, especially as egg is so commonly used in every-day food and even household items such as shampoo and medicine. However, it is a condition that can be managed and controlled with the right guidance. We have an essential guide for parents, Food Allergy & Your Child, which contains invaluable information on treating their child’s allergy.”

AllergyBestBuys.co.uk also have inexpensive egg allergy and dairy allergy home tests for parents who suspect their children may be allergy sufferers. All that is required is a drop of blood, obtained easily with the supplied finger pricker. Testing for the allergy is the first step to understanding and controlling the condition.

Parents Advised To ‘Look Towards The Home’ For Eczema Triggers

2009-03-26T14:28:00.000-07:00

New research released by The German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) shocked parents earlier this week when they found diet to have no bearing whatsoever on childhood eczema. Now AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, the leading provider of anti allergy products are advising parents to look towards the home for answers.

The new report advises parents “To be cautious about eliminating important foods like milk from their baby's or child's diet, and that ‘elimination diets probably only help if the child has a proven food sensitivity or allergy.”

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, leading provider of anti allergy products, said, “People with atopic eczema complain of itchiness, recurring skin rashes, cracked and bleeding or oozing skin. Irritant contact dermatitis, where the skin reacts after being in contact with certain foods, nickel or the chemicals in everyday products is also a form of eczema that can affect both babies and small children.”

In fact a staggering 1 one in five people worldwide suffer from eczema or dermatitis in some form or other and in the UK alone, an estimated 12 per-cent of a GP’s workload is eczema related, but still the cause remains unknown. What is certain however, is that diet has been officially ruled out.

Often aggravated by cold weather, dust mites, solvents, and chemicals in the home or workplace, children with atopic eczema are far more susceptible to everyday irritants such as soap, traces of detergent left behind in clothes, wool and synthetic fabrics and the chlorine in bath or shower water often things overlooked by traditional eczema products.

Ms Rhodes from the company that offers advice on everything from skin eczema to dairy allergy, added, “Restricting a child’s diets can be harmful to health. These tactics only work if an allergy has been confirmed. Reliable Allergy tests for home use are now available from our AllergyBestBuys online store and can provide the first step in managing an allergy. Once you know what you are allergic to you can take steps to avoid the allergen that sets off a the wheezing, itching or other response.”

Ms Rhodes of AllergyBestbuys adds, “At AllergyBestBuys.co.uk we offer chemical-free Eco-Balls for the laundry, a Nickel Solution to protect against nickel allergy and Gloves in a Bottle to shield hands and feet from irritants. Other products bring relief when the itch and dryness is unbearable. Popular products include TriCeram Cream, Aalgo Natural Seaweed Treatment and Inkomfe Scalp Care.

“Getting a decent night’s sleep is also big concern for eczema sufferers and their families. The AllergyBestBuys All-In-One Sleepsuit, is great for children between three months and three years. as the gentle cotton sleepsuit has mittens to prevent scratching and grown-on feet to soothe sore skin. A visit to the AllergyBestbuys website will show what a superb range of allergy solutions is now available and that there is plenty of help out there for both sufferers and their parents.”

AllergyBestBuys Offer Dairy Allergy Relief To Parents UK Wide

2009-03-26T14:26:00.000-07:00

It is the will of Mother Nature that babies are designed to drink milk, building a picture in our minds that milk is both natural and nutritious, so it can often come as a surprise when very young children develop a dairy allergy, but this is the stark reality for seven per-cent of the UK’s baby population.

Diarrhoea, flatulence, bloating, constipation and flatulence are symptoms all associated with dairy allergy in babies and infants, something that no parent is keen to see their child going through, and something that can cause anxiety for both parties, but this can easily be treated or managed.

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, leading provider of anti allergy products, said, “Parents who contact us regarding their dairy allergy concerns often worry about the nutritional deficiencies often associated with avoiding milk, yoghurt and cheese, but this is often caused by the media scare-mongering parents into thinking that this will have harmful consequences in later life.”

Calcium is used by the body to its full advantage when combined with magnesium. It is a common perception that by taking milk and other dairy products away from your child’s diet, that their tooth enamel, and bone health with suffer, however, without magnesium, we do not necessarily use calcium for these bodily functions. Many foods have a good magnesium to calcium ratio including, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage and spinach. All varieties of nut are also a great source of both magnesium and calcium.

Mrs Rhodes from the company who offer dust allergy relief, eczema treatments, asthma products and hayfever remedies, added, “Between the ages of two and seven infants children need 600mg of calcium a day. If the parent incorporates leafy vegetables and nuts into their diet, there is no reason at all why this cannot be achieved. Even tap water, especially from ‘hard-water’ areas can contain calcium.”

If children avoid cows’ milk for the first nine months of their life, the risk of developing a dairy allergy is thought to be significantly reduced. Many medical experts claim that the reason these allergies are on the increase is purely down to the fact that mothers choose to breast feed for much shorter periods than previous generations did, and often opt to use cow’s milk as an alternative.

A huge variety of allergy books are now available to parents of children with allergies cope with the news, suggesting everything from diet plans to emotional support, one of the most popular books on the current market is ‘Food Allergy & Your Child’ available from AllergBestBuys.co.uk. This expert approach covers topics including, weaning allergic babies, socialising safely, living positively with food allergy and starting pre-school. Priced at just £14.99, this can prove to be a useful guide, especially if you are new to allergy living.

Alternatively, The Allergy free Cookbook, also available from AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, is an ideal companion for any family looking to instil a sense of fun into dairy free eating habits. With over 100 step-by-step recipes, all beautifully illustrated, this is a recipe book devised and written by the mother of a severely food-allergic child, aimed at creating tasty meals tailored to suit the main four food allergies.

AllergyBestBuys.com Highlight Need For Coeliac Testing In Children

2009-03-17T09:59:00.001-07:00

If you or your child suffers with abdominal pains, bloating and nausea after eating gluten-containing foods, you could be among millions in the UK who suffer from undiagnosed Coeliac disease. Intolerance to wheat and similar proteins in rye, barley and possibly oats causes inflammation of the cells lining the small intestine, digestive and nutritional upsets. Symptoms include diarrhoea, tiredness, anaemia, bloating, wind, low mood and weight loss. It is often misdiagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

AllergyBestBuys.com, the specialist providers of anti-allergy products, eczema treatments, asthma products and hayfever remedies, are highlight the need for testing, using a simple blood test that is now available for home use.

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, leading provider of anti allergy products, said, “Coeliac disease is a condition that used to be associated with young children. Some babies who have been healthy from birth may become irritable, anaemic and fail to grow properly once gluten-containing cereals are introduced. Others may not have problems until they are toddlers.

Today it seems that Coeliac disease is a condition that affects both children and adults. For suspected Coeliac disease, parents can now purchase a finger prick home testing kit from AllergyBestBuys.com, which is suitable for both adults and children and which delivers hospital-standard results in minutes. We also have inexpensive home tests for dairy allergy and egg allergy that can be really helpful as the first step to diagnosing and then managing these problems.”

The only treatment for Coeliac disease is to go on to a gluten-free diet. Doctors will often ask sufferers and their parents to seek help of a dietician to help them to read ingredient lists and identify foods that contain gluten to make shopping trips slightly easier.

Ms Rhodes says, “One of the main problems with Coeliac disease, particularly where you are catering for children is finding ways to provide bakes and cakes without stomach-aches! I recommend Great gluten-free baking, a brilliant bestselling recipe book available from our website”.

Another recommended buy would be The Complete Guide to Food Allergy and Intolerance by Professor Jonathan Brostoff and Linda Gamlin. This is the gold standard of food allergy books and is also available from AllergyBestBuys.com. It identifies foods likely to cause problems and how to find out which of them is triggering your or your child’s allergic reaction. The book also examines the psychological aspect of food intolerance to allow your family to adapt to your child’s needs with minimum fuss and upheaval.

Mrs Rhodes added, “There are many ways to ensure that your child steers clear of all allergy inducing foods, and managing the diet effectively really is the key to success”.

Hayfever? Desensitise NOW Before The Season Begins!

2009-03-04T07:46:00.000-08:00

A recent Horizon television documentary showed the startling success of a treatment that allowed a youngster who was severely allergic to dogs to completely recover.
The treatment, known as sub-lingual immunotherapy, (SLIT) is available by referral on the NHS and in some allergy clinics. It involves diluting a standard extract of allergen and placing a drop under the tongue. It helps the majority of patients with minimal side effects and no dangerous reactions. The downside is that the treatment is very expensive, each dose costing around £67. You should expect to pay around £1,000 in a private allergy clinic for a full course.

Oral grass pollen immunotherapy has recently been given the green light by the UK's Committee on the Safety of Medicines and offers a similar treatment for hayfever, a miserable condition affecting thousands of children and adults. Although the vast majority are affected by grass pollen, the hayfever season starts for some in early January when the tree pollens begin and can extend right through to the autumn, when weed pollens and mould are at their highest concentration.

Homeopathy, the method of treating like with like, offers a similar approach to the desensitization programmes offered by allergy clinics and shows particularly successful results for hayfever. You can now buy a Homeopathic Hayfever Desensitisation Kit to treat yourself at home that provides a simple, 2-year programme to build immunity that is very effective and highly recommended.
Ideally you should start the course before the hayfever season begins (i.e. with tree pollens at the end of January/beginning of February in the UK), to prevent the onset of symptoms. But if like most people you don't start to think about the problem until the runny nose and itchy eyes begin, it's not too late to start the treatment even if the pollen count is high.

The treatment involves taking a couple of drops of the pollen remedies every day for two weeks, then two of the remedies are taken once a week for the whole of the pollen season.

The whole process is repeated in the second year, but significant relief is usually obtained in the first year.

The Homeopathic Hayfever Desensitisation Kit contains Mixed Grass and Plant Pollens. If you have a specific problem with Tree, Weed & Shrub or Rape pollen, there are individual phials of these pollens too.

The kit was put together by renowned pharmacist and homeopath Don Harrison and is available by mail order from allergy specialists www.AllergyBestBuys.com

AllergyBestBuys Offer Eczema Relief

2009-01-21T07:18:00.000-08:00

A staggering I one in five people worldwide suffers from eczema or dermatitis in some form or other and in the UK alone, an estimated 12 per-cent of a GP’s workload is eczema related. For sufferers of this confidence-shattering skin disorder, living a normal life while coping with eczema can be a real challenge. Though babies and the young can often grow out of the condition, a childhood spent scratching intensely itchy, dry skin or coping with cracked and infected hands and feet, can lead to feelings of self-loathing and a lack of confidence amongst peers that can last a lifetime; the psychological effects of this cruel condition should not be underestimated.

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.com, the online mail order firm that specialise in allergy remedies says “We specialise in offering products to help in the treatment of eczema suffered by those of an allergic disposition known as atopic eczema or atopic dermatitis. Although it cannot be cured, there are eczema products on the market that can go a long way to alleviate some of the symptoms associated with it. People with atopic eczema complain of itchiness, recurring skin rashes, cracked and bleeding or oozing skin. Irritant contact dermatitis, where the skin reacts after being in contact with certain foods, nickel or the chemicals in everyday products like washing-up liquid is also a form of eczema.

31-year old Rob Deans, From Nottingham, said, “I used to suffer with eczema quite badly as a youngster and everyday was a constant battle. I would suffer with dry arms, but it was the red patches around my eyes and jaw-line that gave me the most problem. More than anything, it was embarrassing and creams from the doctors did not help me at all. Luckily it was something that I grew out of once I hit sixteen, but if I had of been made aware of natural eczema products, I would certainly have given them a go.”

Often aggravated by cold weather, dust mites, solvents, and chemicals in the home or workplace, people with atopic eczema are far more susceptible to everyday irritants such as soap, traces of detergent left behind in clothes, wool and synthetic fabrics and the chlorine in bath or shower water water, often things overlooked by traditional allergy remedies.

Ms Rhodes of AllergyBestbuys says, “We have found some excellent eczema products that can help sufferers. Because it’s important to avoid the triggers that can cause an eczema flare-up we offer chemical-free Eco-Balls for the laundry, Nickel Solution to protect against contact dermatitis and Gloves in a Bottle to shield hands and feet from irritants. Other products bring relief when the itch and dryness is unbearable. Popular products include TriCeram Cream, Aalgo Natural Seaweed Treatment and Inkomfe Scalp Care’.

Getting a decent night’s sleep is a big concern for eczema sufferers and their families. The AllergyBestBuys All-In-One Sleepsuit, is great for children between three months and three years, as the gentle cotton sleepsuit has mittens to protect from scratching and grown-on feet to soothe sore skin.

AllergyBestBuys also sell The Chillow Pillow and Cool Silk Duvet, both of which keep the bedtime temperature down and reduce the urge to itch. Their Medivac allergen-proof covers zip around the mattress, duvet and pillow, sealing out cat and dustmite allergen and promoting a healthy night’s sleep. They are available free of VAT for households where there is eczema, asthma, hay fever or dust allergies Ms Rhodes added, “Having eczema is all about managing your life so that you avoid your triggers and stay in control. We are proud of AllergyBestBuys’ wide range of anti-allergy products and hope that everyone will find something on our website or in the pages of our mail order cayalogue to relieve their problem.”

‘Tis The Season To Be… Sneezy?

2008-12-18T06:57:00.000-08:00

Bah, Humbug? If Christmas leaves you feeling irritable, you might not be suffering from a Scrooge complex but be the estimated one in seven of us allergic to Christmas. Research carried out in America has shown dramatic increases in asthma and sinus problems around the festive season, a fact attributed in part to the humble Christmas tree. Measurements recorded high levels of mould spores in homes featuring a live tree, triggering allergic symptoms that lasted until the tree was removed in the New Year.

If you’re an allergy sufferer, the festive season isn’t necessarily a time to be cheerful with pesky allergens lurking in the unlikeliest of places. From a live tree’s mould spores causing perennial rhinitis and aggravating respiratory symptoms to nuts in Christmas treats, allergies are just as much of a problem at Christmas as at any other time. For some sufferers, the onset of the party season actually heralds the start of one of the most unpleasant periods of the year.

With this in mind, anti-allergy emporium AllergyBestBuys is gearing up to help sufferers enjoy a more pleasurable Christmas with hundreds of tried and trusted products and professional advice on the best allergy busting home wares, gifts and cosmetics.

“Fighting the symptoms of common ailments such as asthma, eczema, food intolerance and chemical sensitivity can make eating Christmas lunch and applying make-up for festive parties a real minefield,” said Janet Rhodes, founder of the online superstore. “It makes relaxing almost impossible as the symptoms not only affect the sufferer but loved ones around them celebrating the holidays.”

Packed full of useful stocking fillers, best sellers on site at this time of the year include Nickel Solution, a two step product to warn against Nickel in jewellery and guard against direct contact with the skin. There’s also a host of useful books such as ‘Let’s eat Out’ the guide to eating out while managing food intolerances and skin care and makeup products that allergy sufferers often find hard to source; Suncoat Natural Mascara is chemical free and available in a choice of soft brown or black. A party favourite, the mascara has been rigorously tested by AllergyBestBuys allergy sufferers and received glowing reviews for staying power and kindness to eyes.

For the one in seven of us allergic to the tree, the super efficient AirFree Air Steriliser is guaranteed to banish airborne mould spores without dampening the festive spirit.

Sleeping with an Allergy

With the skin-shivering reality that millions of dust-mites take up residence inside our bedding, ensuring a night of sweet dreams is a troubling proposition for the 33 per-cent of the UK population who suffer with an allergy.

As freezing winter temperatures are now with us, quality duvets, pillows and clothing that allow us to cuddle up and sleep safely are an undeniable necessity and leading anti-allergy products online shop, AllergyBestBuys, is currently ordering extra stocks of anti-allergy bedding and nightwear for eczema, asthma and allergies.
Tossing and turning, sneezing and wheezing. Even if you succeed in falling into a slumber your body will never achieve the level of rest and rejuvenation it requires.

For the parents of little ones, caring for children with allergies can be even more distressing than caring for themselves and the whole family can suffer with broken nights. Choosing top quality, purpose-made allergy bedding will help protect your child from allergens and encourage a restful night’s sleep.

Eczema is an incredibly common condition in children, and is aggravated in winter by dry air in the home from central heating and closed windows. Nighttimes’ itches can be soothed with a really helpful All-in-one Sleepsuit for eczema. Made from 100% quality cotton, the Sleepsuit offers enclosed mittens and feet to protect against scratching and with its flat seams and tear-off labels, offers the soft kindness your child’s sensitive skin needs.

If your child is quite the social butterfly and enjoys spending weekends away at a sleepover, you’ll be thrilled to find among the shelves of AllergyBestBuys’ anti-allergy products the incredible 100% Pure Cotton allergen-proof Dreambag. Available in three sizes, these genius sleeping bags will make overnight trips a dream for anyone who suffers from bed aggravated allergies. Made from soft, fine dustmite-proof cotton, the sheet sleeping bag comes complete with a built-in pillow cover giving complete protection from dustmite allergen in unprotected mattresses or the detergent residue in someone else’s sheets or duvet covers.

Until recently anti-allergy duvets were only available with a synthetic filling. But AllergyBestbuys has a range of beautifully made duvets with dustmite-proof cotton cases filled with silk, cotton and specially-treated natural feather and down. All the anti-allergy duvets are hypoallergenic and can be washed at high temperatures to keep them free of dustmite allergen.

Comfortable Solutions for preventing and managing Asthma

2008-12-03T06:29:00.000-08:00

It’s now well known that avoiding the triggers that set off an asthma attack is an important measure in managing the condition and AllergyBestBuys.com Ltd, mail order supplier of anti-allergy products offers a range of practical solutions to help.

Tui Esser, Chief Executive of online allergy remedies shop, AllergyBestBuys, said “As a sufferer of allergies myself I always sought to find safe and effective ways of reducing the chances of an attack by avoiding allergens and chemicals. Having searched long and hard I came up with a range of anti-allergy products that can make a real difference to the quality of everyday life for anyone with asthma, eczema, hay fever and chemical sensitivity.

Asthma is a common chronic respiratory disease, a problem aggravated by the perils of the modern world. Tobacco smoke, cold air, chlorine or traffic fumes, exercise and stress are all frequent triggers of symptoms in sufferers, and attacks can range in severity.

A simple yet effective avoidance measure against inhaled allergens - dustmite, pollen, mould spores, pet allergen and cold air - is to wear a face mask. The MicroAirScreen re-usable face mask is neat, lightweight, washable and exclusive to AllergyBestBuys.com. It has proved a big hit with customers this Autumn who have found wearing the MicroAirScreen Mask allows them to rake leaves outside or dust the house without provoking an asthma attack. A silk-lined fleece Cold Weather Mask is the answer for anyone whose asthma is triggered by exercise in cold air, like playing football or skiing, or whose condition is made worse just by being outside in icy winds. For anyone with chemical sensitivity, AllergyBestBuys.com also offer a mask with special carbon inserts which filter out fumes and gasses.

Steroid inhalers are the most widely-prescribed treatment for prevention and relief of asthma, but many sufferers seek to reduce their reliance on their use because of unpleasant side effects. In the early ‘50’s researchers in Russia concluded that a common problem in asthmatics is a tendency to ‘over breathe’. This realisation led to the development of a technique of controlled breathing exercises that became known as The Buteyko Method, named after its creator. The anti allergy team at AllergyBestBuys now offer this successful asthma remedy as a teach-yourself pack of booklet, DVD and CD. The Buteyko Method teaches asthmatics to breathe more naturally and can help avoid the tendency to hyperventilate and trigger an attack. Tui Esser of AllergyBestBuys added, “Five published clinical trials show that this approach to managing asthma symptoms leads to a reduction of between 60-95% in the need for bronchodilator medication, an incredible result.”

AllergyBestBuys Presents The Chemical Free Laundry

2008-11-24T03:57:00.000-08:00

Anti-allergy web site, AllergyBestBuys is pioneering a chemical free laundry with the addition of the Eco-Ball wash kit to its already extensive collection of tried and tested allergy relief products for the home. The Eco-Balls join a host of other detergent replacements for laundry tasks.

The laundry is one the modern household’s biggest pollutants with chemicals in traditional cleaning products irritating sensitive skin and adding toxins to the water supply. As a chemical free alternative, the Eco Ball Wash Kit contains all you need to wash clothes and household items without conventional powders and liquid tabs.

Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys said, “Eco-Balls are natural, environmentally friendly, efficient and cost-effective. They deliver a clean, fresh, sensitive alternative to conventional washing powders which can provoke allergic reactions, particularly in younger members of the household. They really are a revolution and come very highly recommended by our clients for asthma, rhinitis, eczema and sensitive skin, contact dermatitis and multiple chemical sensitivity.

“Just place three Eco-Balls in your washing machine instead of detergent. Together they produce ionized oxygen that activates the water molecules naturally and allows them to penetrate deep into clothing fibres to lift dirt away.”

The hypoallergenic Eco-Balls have been extensively tested by an AllergyBestBuys panel and were rated higher for performance and longevity than Aqua Balls and Wash-It Laundry Balls. The test also found that Eco-Balls are friendlier on the wallet as they are re-useable up to 1000 times. That means a load costs on average just 3.5 pence! Each Eco-Ball Wash Kit from AllergyBestBuys kit includes 1 set of Eco-Balls, free refill pellets and a natural, non-phosphate stain remover for stubborn stains.

Keep Healthy on Holiday with AllergyBestBuys

2008-08-13T08:09:00.000-07:00

For most people the holiday season is one to look forward to without a care, but for allergy sufferers going on holiday can cause more headaches than staying at home. That’s because at the very least holidays can involve a lot more planning for someone with allergies and at worst can cause real concern about whether the sufferer will experience an attack when miles away from home. AllergyBestBuys, the leading online retailer of allergy products, helps allergy sufferers plan in advance and keep healthy while they’re away on holiday.

AllergyBestBuys.co.uk has an extensive range of anti allergy products and allergy remedies covering all types of allergies and at unbeatable prices. AllergyBestBuys understand that every allergy is as unique as the sufferer, which is why they have built a range that allows people to handpick the product that is right for their allergy and right for their lifestyle. Alongside the traditional asthma products, eczema products and hayfever remedies, they also stock more high-tech solutions from the cutting edge of allergy research such as the latest dehumidifiers, sterilisers and SAD light therapy.

Included in the range is a number of allergy products that will make holidays as relaxing for allergy sufferers as they are for non-sufferers. For those who want to protect themselves from attacks at night, the Dreambag from AllergyBestBuys allows them to create an entirely non-allergenic environment to sleep in thanks to the cool cotton sheet sleeping bag. Ideal for anyone with dust allergies or sensitivity to chemicals, as well as sufferers of asthma, eczema, rhinitis, psoriasis or dermatitis.

For those who are worried about effectively communicating their allergy requirements when abroad, there’s the Multi-lingual Phrase Passport, an invaluable and award-winning pocket-sized phrase book with over 1200 essential phrases in French, German, Italian and Spanish regarding food allergies and special diets. In preparation for emergency cases there’s the Allergy and Medical Alert Jewellery. These are ID tags, pendants and bracelets with space to have your vital allergy or medical information displayed so that medical professionals can help you if you suffer a dramatic attack when on holiday and are unable to communicate yourself. The lifesaving jewellery comes with one year’s membership of ‘Next of Kin International’, offering round-the-clock emergency operator service and speedy contact with your family.

Even people who don’t normally suffer from allergies can benefit from the holiday health range from AllergyBestBuys. Their Insect Repellent Patches provide protection from insect bites for all over the body and for 36 hours – all from an entirely natural vitamin patch. Safe in the knowledge they have treatment for bites, the holiday maker can also arm themselves against stings thanks to the Venom Extractor, a medical-grade plastic vacuum mini-pump that painlessly draws the poison from the sting, immediately relieving pain and reducing the likelihood of an allergic reaction.

To see the full range of allergy remedies and products, for when you’re on holiday or when you’re at home, visit www.allergybestbuys.co.uk.

Allergy Best Buys Draws the Crowds at the Allergy & Gluten Free Show

2008-07-14T08:49:00.000-07:00

London’s Olympia Exhibition Halls were thronged last month with visitors to the Allergy & Gluten Free Show, now in its fifth year. Among the exhibitors was leading mail order supplier AllergyBestBuys, exhibiting two of its top-selling anti-allergy products. The amazing ‘Freshlight’ drew the crowds as AllergyBestBuys’ Janet Rhodes demonstrated its powers. The Freshlight Longlife energy saving light bulbs not only last longer, use less power and are cheaper to run than standard light bulbs but, amazingly, they also clear the air of allergens!
An ingenious ioniser built into the bulb emits 3.5million negative ions per cubic centimetre every second it is switched on, removing dust, mould spores, smoke, pet dander and pollen over a three metre square area so quickly you can almost see the particles disappearing.
Another anti allergy item that was a hit with Allergy Show visitors was ‘Gloves in a Bottle’, the ever-popular moisturising barrier lotion that works wonders for dry, cracked hands and contact dermatitis. Janet explains, “If your hands react badly to chemicals or latex or from touching fruit, meat, flowers or other irritants or from being constantly in water, this fabulous lotion will protect for four hours and won’t wash off. No wonder Gloves in a Bottle is such a hit with gardeners, nurses, hairdressers and chefs.”

AllergyBestBuys.com Ltd. are the leading mail order suppliers of safe, tested allergy products that help anyone with asthma, eczema, hay fever or rhinitis, chemical sensitivity or allergies avoid the triggers that set off a reaction and provide comfort and relief when symptoms strike.

Although AllergyBestBuys does receive lots of extra enquiries in the summer months due to the number of people seeking hay fever products to help ease their allergies, the company has a strong year-round customer demand thanks to their varied product range that can help with any type of allergy, not simply seasonal ones.

The full range is available online at www.allergybestbuys.co.uk; to order a catalogue call 08707 455002.

AllergyBestBuys Looks after Your Pets

2008-05-21T08:11:00.000-07:00

It’s not only humans that can react to allergens in the environment; animals can too. If your dog’s constantly scratching or your cat’s got the snuffles, chances are they might be suffering from an incompatibility with something in their environment. That’s why AllergyBestBuys offer an anti-allergy product that may help to reduce this problem.

Two major irritants for animals are dust mites and fleas. Just a single fleabite can cause inflamed skin and severe itching for up to 7 days, although it’s not the flea itself that causes the reaction but a protein in the insect’s saliva. Alternatively, your cranky canine or fidgety feline might have picked up a skin infection such as ring worm. This is caused by a fungus and is highly contagious. It can even be transmitted from animal to human, which makes it essential to use allergy products to guard against this.

The resulting symptoms and illnesses resulting from allergies range from asthma to skin complaints and animals will often chew or scratch to relieve the irritation creating bald spots. The texture and quality of the animal’s coats can suffer and they may even get hot spots which make them further self-mutilate. Allergies can also be responsible for chronic ear infections.

By simply replacing your pet’s usual blanket with anti-allergy pet bedding from AllergyBestBuys, you can restore your pet to the happy animal it once was. The anti-allergy bedding is specially made using 30% Amicor Pure, the same modern, textile technology as used in the Allersafe pillows and duvets for humans. Amicor Pure is locked into its soft polyester fibres of the bedding to prevent the development of dust mites, bacteria and fungi. Used and recommended by vets, it provides a safe, protective bed which is Eco-Tex certified free from harmful substances and carries the British Allergy Foundation’s Seal of Approval.

To help eradicate the presence of allergens and harmful parasites, the anti-allergy pet bedding offers the perfect solution while also helping to eliminate nasty odours. It provides a soft, comfortable place for your four-legged friend to curl up that is strong and durable and easy to clean in the washing machine at 40°C, leaving the active Amicor Pure ingredient to remain effective wash after wash. It comes in a generous 1x1.5m that you can cut to fit your pet’s bed and costs £19.99 when ordered online from Allergy Best Buys.

Committed to only selling anti-allergy items of the highest quality, from Eco Balls to personal ionisers, AllergyBestBuys extensive range can help allergy, asthma and eczema suffers whether the condition is mild or serious. They also offer free delivery on any orders over £100. All have been tested in clinical, laboratory or filed trials and where appropriate carry the approval of the British Allergy Foundation or Eco-Tex certification of textile purity.

AllergyBestBuys Helps You Look Forward to the Summer

2008-05-14T07:17:00.000-07:00

If your vision of spring is being blurred by itchy, running eyes or you’re dreading the thought of sneezing your way through yet another summer, you could be one of the 20% of the British public who could benefit from AllergyBestBuys hay fever busting solutions. A clever combination of their anti-allergenic products could have you fighting fit and seeing clearly in time to make the most of the great outdoors while the sun shines.

Caused by a reaction to airborne substances such as grass and pollen, seasonal allergic rhinitis as it’s also known, affects the upper respiratory passages leaving sufferers with cold like symptoms. While over-the-counter remedies can be effective, many find that their symptoms still persist and need a more all round system of treatment. AllergyBestBuys offers a range of anti-allergy items that tackle the problem in every area of your day-to-day life so that you can maintain the feeling of being hay fever free wherever you are.

Starting with the home, AllergyBestBuys supplies the Airfree, recommended by the Daily Mail in their “5 of the Best Allergy Products”. It works by creating an atmosphere indoors which allows you to breathe freely by not only filtering out but destroying 99.99% of airborne allergens, viruses, germs and bacteria, and releasing cool, sterilised air back into the room. Great for everything from asthma and eczema to dust and pet allergies, the portable, lightweight Airfree is an absolute must for hay fever sufferers and starts at just £149 including free delivery.

Once you’ve established a comfortable environment in your home, you’ll want to do the same for your car and for people that spend a considerable amount of time driving, the AirTamer A400 ionic air purifier is essential. Plug it into the cigarette lighter or any 12-volt socket in your vehicle and let the electrostatic technology silently clear the air, producing healthy negative ions that force pollutants away from your breathing space. As well as reducing allergic reactions it also combats tiredness and travel sickness, helping to keep you at your peak. Simple to use, with no filters to be changed, the AirTamer comes with a 1 year warranty and costs £34.99.

Also chosen as one of the Daily Mail’s “5 of the Best Allergy Products” and recommended by Dr Chris Steele from ITV’s This Morning show, is MyAirZone. Great for when you’re out and about, this wearable personal air ioniser helps to protect you from anything in the air you’d rather not breathe. By emitting negative ions it reduces histamine levels in your body and therefore suppresses its reaction to allergens. Weighing a light 125g, the MyAirZone comes with a spring clip or neck-strap for personal wear and retails at £99.90.

AllergyBestBuys Filters out the Bad

2008-04-24T02:31:00.000-07:00

If you’ve begun to notice that your skin is not as luscious as it once was and your scalp has started to suffer from embarrassing flaking, it could be that you’re reacting to the chlorine in your tap water. As chlorine is a toxic chemical it is not surprising that the product used to disinfect public water systems can often have an adverse effect and many people are turning to anti-allergy items to ease the symptoms. There is one product in particular that offers a simple and inexpensive solution to stopping the itching and making your hair and body soft to the touch again.

The Vitamin-C Shower Filter comes exclusively from AllergyBestBuys, an online provider of allergy products, and works to combat the impact of chlorine and chloramine (ammonia and chlorine combined) on the skin and hair during bathing. Chlorine can upset the skin’s natural PH balance, dries out the skin more significantly than water that is free of it and can be particularly irritating to skin that is already damaged by eczema or psoriasis. Many asthma sufferers also find that as the chlorine evaporates into steam during showering, subsequent inhalation causes a very unpleasant tightening of the chest and aggravates the sinuses and lungs. Chlorinated water is also often the cause of eye irritation, leaving them sore and red.

Using new technology, the Vitamin C shower head filter releases pharmaceutical grade vitamin C as the water passes through it, neutralising chlorine and chloramines and giving a natural way to healthy skin. It works at any temperature, water pressure and with any quality of water and as soon as the shower is switched off, it stops releasing the vitamin in order to prolong its life.

The stylish dual mode shower head comes with a flexible standard chrome hose, shower arm mount and extra filter cartridge (which has a 3month warranty), and attaches easily to any existing shower fixture without loss of height.

The Vitamin-C Shower Filter has no adverse effects on water pressure or flow rate and the laboratory tested, 100% natural organic food-grade vitamin means it is safe for for babies and children. There is no maintenance required and the transparent casing of the Vtamin C cartridge lets you see when it needs to replaced. A single cartridge will, on average, last a whole month for a family of four showering daily. four using it every day. The Vitamin C Shower head comes with a year’s guarantee and costs £59.95. A 5-pack of replacement cartridges is £29.95

AllergyBestBuys has a commitment to supplying proven products that do exactly what they say they will do. From the AirSupply Personal Air Purifer to Medivac Naturelle Pillows, they provide a wide range of products to help allergy, asthma and eczema suffers cope with their condition, whether mild or severe. All AllergyBestbuys products have been tested in clinical, laboratory or field trials and where appropriate carry the approval of the British Allergy Foundation or Eco-Tex certification of textile purity.

Eczema Best Buys From AllergyBestBuys

2007-12-10T02:18:00.000-08:00

Almost 20% of British children are affected by eczema, making for a miserable time when everyday products and actions lead to a flare up. Allergy specialists AllergyBestBuys.com Ltd have worked closely with eczema experts around the world for a number of years to identify problem areas and have compiled a ‘Best Buy’ check list of the most effective remedies for atopic eczema.

AllergyBestBuys founder, Janet Rhodes said: “People with atopic eczema are far more susceptible to everyday irritants such as soap, traces of detergent left behind in clothes, wool and synthetic fabrics. Chlorinated water, either in swimming pools or from the tap, can also aggravate the skin. Even things like cold weather and contact with citrus fruits can provoke a flare up.”
Some pollutants such as fumes from traffic, gas cookers, formaldehyde from textiles, chipboard and MDF also play a part in atopic eczema. While it is impossible to protect children from contact with all of these potential irritants, it is possible to minimise the effect of flare-ups and reduce the itchy, uncomfortable aftermath by keeping a carefully chosen range of specialist products to hand.

The best buys for eczema recommended by AllergyBestBuys include an extensive range of cool cotton bedding to make hot itchy bedtimes less stressful. There are dustmite proof mattress cases and duvets filled with pure cotton and wild silk, cotton cellular blankets and dustmite proof pillows and the famous Dreambag, a fine cotton sheet sleeping bag for an unbroken night’s sleep.

For little ones there are sleepsuits with mittens and a brilliant Travel Top that protects against scratching and allows broken skin to heal. You’ll also find cotton gloves and stretchy silk undersocks to fit children and adults.

In the home, the Banamite combined dehumidifier and air filter controls dustmites naturally and eliminates mould spores, pollen and pet dander whilst in the bathroom, AllergyBestBuys offers a shower filter that removes chlorine from the shower and bath and a bestselling seaweed treatment for eczema and psoriasis.

Gloves In A Bottle

2007-11-22T04:39:00.000-08:00

The arrival of winter, with cold and rain and biting winds and overheated offices and homes often means the onset of dry, sore skin. Prime time in fact for miracle moisturiser Gloves in a Bottle to come to the rescue.

Acting as an invisible pair of gloves, the Gloves in a Bottle formula keeps moisture in and irritants out, helping to prevent itchy cracked skin. If your hands are constantly in water or exposed to detergents and chemicals in the workplace, chronic hand eczema and contact dermatitis are both potential problems.

Janet Rhodes, founder of AllergyBestBuys said: “Gloves in a Bottle is a wonderful, practical solution for those times when it isn’t possible to wear gloves or barrier creams. The lotion works as a shield, protecting the skin from harsh chemicals or irritants and ensuring valuable moisture isn’t lost from the skin. Our customers include hairdressers and gardeners, painters and mechanics, chefs and nurses.”

Gloves in Bottle forms a bond with the top layer of skin and, unlike ordinary moisturisers, will not wash off. Gloves in a Bottle is non-sticky and non-greasy, non-toxic and unperfumed and does not contain lanolin. The protective coating it provides allows the skin to restore its own defences, whilst it is shielded from irritants and the drying effects of being constantly in water or chemicals. Gloves in a Bottle also works brilliantly on feet and elbows.

With each pea-sized application lasting around four hours, Gloves in a Bottle can be reapplied throughout the day, providing economical, long lasting protection.

Gloves in a Bottle is priced at £9.99. Order online at www.AllergyBestBuys.com

Vitamin C Shower Filter

2007-11-05T03:24:00.000-08:00

A breakthrough technology used in a new filter, astonishingly using natural vitamin C, instantly removes the harmful chlorine in water we use to shower. As water passes through it, the Vitamin-C Shower Filter releases the exact amount of pure pharmaceutical-grade vitamin C to totally and instantly neutralise all chlorine and chloramine.

Chlorine is a toxic chemical element occurring naturally as a poisonous, greenish-yellow gas with an irritating, pungent odour. It is universally used to disinfect public water systems. Chlorine dries out skin significantly faster than chlorine-free water, can cause irritation to sensitive skin or make damaged skin worse.

Many asthma sufferers find that inhaling the toxic steam of chlorine as it evaporates in the shower gives a tightening of the chest and aggravates the sinuses and lungs. Chlorinated water can also irritate the eyes, leaving them red, itchy and burning.

The Vitamin-C Shower Filter works in any water temperature (hot or cold), any water pressure (high or low) and in any quality of water (good or poor).

Janet Rhodes of distributor allergybestbuys.co.uk says, "The Vitamin-C Shower Filter is one of the most exciting new products we have found for anyone with dry, irritated or itchy skin conditions, sensitive or damaged skin, eczema or psoriasis, asthma or chemical sensitivity. It's a totally natural and environmentally safe way to remove chlorine from your shower water, safe for children, maintenance free and economical. Our customers give it a big thumbs up"

Vitamin C Shower Filter £59.99 (includes 1 installed & 1 replacement filter cartridge). Replacement cartridges (pack of 5) £29.99

Brilliant Beauty For Allergy Sufferers

2007-09-10T01:33:00.000-07:00

Isn’t it simply annoying to see thousands of beauty products on the shelves, only to discover you happen to be allergic to most of them? From mascara to face-creams, even dermatalogically tested products are often full of chemicals that can trigger a reaction. AllergyBestBuys.com Ltd has taken into account the number of people suffering from allergies , eczema , seriously sensitive skin or irritant contact dermatitis and scoured the world for products created to work effectively without discomfort.

Janet Rhodes, founder of AllergyBestBuys said: “The number of people suffering with eczema is incredible, and many of them find they are allergic to a whole host of everyday products from soaps and detergents to synthetic fabrics and wool. At AllergyBestBuys we have uncovered a range of products designed to offer welcome alternatives at great value for money.”

One of the top selling products discovered by AllergyBestBuys is Calming Cleansing Milk, winner of the 2007 Salon Plus Award for Best Facial Cleanser. This mild, non-alkaline, soap-free cleanser for the face is made from an extremely gentle formula and contains botanical extracts of Chamomile and St John’s Wort to calm and soothe redness and irritation.

Suncoat Natural Mascara is another super beauty product for confidence and glamour from AllergyBestBuys . The petroleum-based chemical ingredients and preservatives of most mascaras are responsible for the watery eyes, redness, itching or swelling that allergy sufferers can experience even with organic or so-called hypoallergenic mascara. Suncoat Natural Mascara contains none of these nasties and gives long luscious lashes with easy application and removal and best of all, no bad reaction.

AllergyBestBuys customer Gill Ray of Brentford who volunteered to test Suncoat Natural Mascara said, “This mascara is terrific. I have not been able to use conventional mascara since my allergy to parabens was identified in 1992. It’s really great to use a proper mascara again.”
