Are the alternative methods of treating allergies?

Harold Kaiser (Practicing Allergist and Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of Minnesota Medical School) gives expert video advice on: What kind of medications are used to treat allergies?; Does using an EpiPen hurt? and more...

If alternative methods of treating allergies don't harm the patients then I think they're helpful, I have no problem with accepting them. But I can't recommend them and I tell patients that to my knowledge there is no proof to suggest that these alternative treatments work effectively on allergies or asthma. Some alternative medications, including some herbs, may cause harm so read the labels carefully. I can't recommend them at this time because there's no good hard evidence to validate their beneficial claims.
