It all started when Jim English got a package from one of his contacts in China. In the box were several sample bottles of a new supplement along with a note from the doctor that said “This is great allergy stuff.” As CEO of a supplement company, English gets boxes of samples every day. So his first thought was “Oh great—another allergy remedy,” and he promptly put it away up on the shelf. It wasn’t until just over a year ago—when he needed it—that he thought of the samples again and got his first clue into AllerPhase’s potential.

What prompted him to reach for the sample on the shelf was his son’s friend Stephen. Twelve years old at the time, he had come over to their house to play when he started having an allergy attack. English remembered the sample of AllerPhase up on his shelf. He called Stephen’s mother, explained what was in the product, and asked if it was okay to give it to her son. She told him to go ahead. So Stephen took the AllerPhase, and English sent the boys to sit quietly for a while, to give the formula a chance to work. Amazingly enough, about 30 minutes later, his son and his friend said they wanted to go out to the park. English noticed that the swelling and redness from the allergic reaction had virtually disappeared from Stephen’s face. He was shocked at how quickly the boy had recovered. He asked Stephen if he was sure he felt good enough to go outside, but the boy assured him he was feeling fine. English agreed to let them go and the kids were off—as though nothing had happened.

Not too long after, Stephen’s mother called and asked, “What in the world did you give my son? I need MORE!” She explained he felt great and even better there were no side effects. He had been taking Claritin and had suffered terribly from the familiar side effects that often accompany it, like headache, dry mouth, and drowsiness. Seeing Stephen’s results, English realized that the bottle that had just sat on his shelf for so long really might be “great allergy stuff.”

Herbal teamwork wipes out symptoms
AllerPhase contains 10 traditional Chinese herbs specifically selected for their ability to quickly and safely relieve allergic symptoms while gently resolving the underlying immune system imbalance that triggers allergic reactions in the first place.

The first herb on this list, Gastrodia, is one I hadn’t seen before in an allergy formula: It’s commonly used in China to treat hypertension, improve circulation, and resolve headaches. But it appears exclusively as an allergy herb in AllerPhase and is largely responsible for the formula’s ability to relieve brain fog—one of the main symptoms of allergies. Recent research suggests that Gostradia aids in improving memory by promoting blood flow to the brain. But better blood flow also enhances the ability of other herbs to quickly reach brain tissue. This strategy works on allergy symptoms because allergic reactions don’t just happen in your nose, your eyes, and your ears—they’re also in your brain, since they affect your central nervous system (CNS), which is what causes the brain fog. Relieving brain fog is just one of the novel approaches AllerPhase offers that isn’t typically seen in other allergy treatments.

Two of the formula’s other herbs are also rarely seen in allergy products: Paeonia sufruticosa and Pseudostellaria. English told me that these herbs are included because of their ability to actively support healthy, normal immune function. They actually help desensitize you from allergens so they become less and less of a problem over time.

AllerPhase’s other ingredients — centipeda, xanthium, angelica, schizonepeta, fritillaria, platycodon, and licorice — work together in various groupings to target specific allergy symptoms.

Since many of these ingredients can be found in other allergy formulations, what makes this product different? Well, the answer to that goes back to the Chinese doctor who gave English the sample.

The allergy formula treated like a fine wine
First let me tell you, this is one elusive man. Even when English’s partner offered him $10 million—then $15 million—to buy the exclusive rights to the AllerPhase formula outright, he turned them down. So they settled for exclusive distribution rights and worked with the Dr. to build a $6 million dollar pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in China that rivals anything in America. The lab is used to manufacture other products as well, but when it’s time to make AllerPhase, the lab director has to clear out the staff and turn the whole plant over for 10 days to the Dr. his sons, and the rest his crew—all trained licensed doctors—so that the team can privately go through the traditional, step-by-step process for making this product.

It’s similar to making a fine wine: They take the raw materials (grown in a region in China where these herbs have been cultivated for 5,000 years) and carefully process them. As each herb is processed the manufacturing team captures the released volatiles and reintroduces them into the product at a specific point in the formulation process. This process is so rigorous that any slight deviation would result in a completely different product, as the inventor and his team learned first hand.

One tiny change makes a huge difference
— and not for the better
One batch sent to English was darker than the usual color, so he decided to do a small trial on some people who had been using the original samples to see if it was just a variation in color—which does happen sometimes in herbal products—or if it was something more. English gave the darker samples to a few people, and just a few days later they each came back to him and asked what he’d given them. The darker sample hadn’t worked.

When he asked what was different they all replied that the quick relief they got before just wasn’t there. English had no choice but to call up the inventor and send the whole batch back. And I’m not talking about a couple bottles—I’m talking tens of thousands of dollars worth of supplements. English told them it simply wasn’t what he ordered and explained the reactions he got in his small trial.

Turned out that one of the inventors sons deviated from the usual process and this tiny change ruined the formula. Once they knew what had happened, they returned to the original process and have worked diligently ever since to make sure it never deviates again. These are the types of delicate manufacturing nuances that most companies just can’t duplicate.

One patient tosses her 3 inhalers in favor of AllerPhase
Typical allergy remedies have limited effectiveness because they tend to be more reactive than proactive: They react to the symptoms instead of preventing them, which usually doesn’t do much for you in the long run. AllerPhase, on the other hand, actually goes where the mainstream allergy remedies don’t—straight to your immune system. It has an immune-normalizing effect. English explains that, basically, AllerPhase reminds your immune system of what it’s supposed to be doing and not doing. It actually re-trains your immune system to attack allergens, rather than let them slide past and cause reactions. This is why AllerPhase is getting such a positive response from the people who have gotten a chance to try it — people like Rose.

For a big part of her life, Rose had been suffering from allergic-induced asthma. She’d been using three different inhalers up to four times a day and had been using Flonase for about 15 years. It wasn’t unusual for her to have such an extreme allergy attack that she would end up in the emergency room unable to breathe.

Over the years she just couldn’t find a reasonable amount of relief from any of the products she’d tried—and the cost was making it difficult for her as well. Last December she decided to stop using Flonase. Like a lot of people, Rose just wanted to feel better without the side effects. Shortly after she stopped taking the Flonase, she went to visit a friend who had cats—one of Rose’s major allergens. It was no surprise that, once again, Rose ended up in the ER. When the doctors got her attack under control, Rose went home disappointed and frustrated. Even after taking her standard remedies, she only got partially better.

A couple of weeks later, she ran into a girl at her local pharmacy who had just started using AllerPhase and recommend it to Rose. Rose gave it a chance and began to feel better right away. Four days after she started taking AllerPhase, Rose was supposed to go back to her friend’s house. Still feeling good when she arrived, she decided to put AllerPhase to the test. She did all the things she knew would provoke an attack: She drank alcohol, she ate dairy and almonds, and she didn’t avoid the cat. Not only did Rose not have an attack, but she didn’t even use her inhaler once. So she pushed the test even further: She helped her friend tear up her carpet, which was full of cat hair and dust—and she only experienced a slight tightness in her chest. But that night she took her AllerPhase and by the next morning, she felt fine.

Word spreads—and so do the benefits
As impressive as Rose’s story is, I wanted more first hand information. So Rose introduced me to her roommate Miranda. As you know, when a product works, people tell their friends about it—and that person tells a friend who then tells a neighbor, and the neighbor tells a relative, and so on. Well, in this case, Miranda saw such a miraculous change in the quality of Rose’s life that she decided to try AllerPhase, too.

Miranda had had chronic allergies since she was a young girl. She’d tried various remedies over the years with some success, but nothing had really had come close to resolving all of her symptoms without any side effects. As she told me, her most irritating problems were migraine headaches and stuffed-up ears. Her migraines lasted for days, and her ears were so clogged that it just drove her crazy.

She started taking AllerPhase in mid-January, and the first clue that something was changing was a few days into treatment when she realized she was starting to get a migraine. But this time it went away in a matter of hours instead of days. Her next clue that this product was actually doing something for her was that her ear congestion cleared up. She could actually hear her own voice, unmuffled. From there, word about AllerPhase spread to Miranda’s mother, Anne.

Anne had also suffered from allergies since childhood. Because they had gotten so much worse over the years, Anne had also developed significant lung damage. When I spoke with her about her experience, she explained that she was plagued by maddening skin itching and terrible fatigue. She was dazed and had trouble walking even half a block since her constant coughing drained her. At Miranda’s urging, Anne tried AllerPhase. Just a few days later, she realized she wasn’t itching anymore. And about three weeks later, she had a “huge leap in energy.”

One bottle could be all it takes
From what I’ve found in my conversations with the people who have tried it, AllerPhase’s effects are unique to each person—just like your immune system responds differently to potential allergens than your neighbor, sister, mother, or spouse.

But while AllerPhase has different results for different people, it does seem to help most people who try it. HSI panelist Hyla Cass, M.D., was one of the first clinicians to evaluate AllerPhase. She’s given the formula to numerous patients over the past year. As she explains, “Even in cases where patient’s allergic symptoms were severe and unresponsive to traditional and alternative therapies, AllerPhase brought about almost immediate and profound relief within 30-40 minutes.” Plus, according to Ward Dean, M.D., his patients who tried AllerPhase were “blown away“ by the immediate relief, and, most significantly, these patients didn’t require any more treatment beyond the first bottle.

The recommended dose is two capsules as soon as your allergy symptoms start. Then take one or two capsules twice a day as needed until the symptoms stop.

English told me his own family started taking AllerPhase after his son’s friend’s experience, and they all swear by it. He also says that a lot of people who have tried it report back that they actually don’t need take any more after the first bottle—their symptoms just don’t come back.
