My Experience: I’m contented while my daughters’ noses are running like faucets

This is my first post about my personal experience in trying to attain immune balance. I have been interested in how this goes because I’m a life-long hay fever sufferer, especially in late August and September when corn and ragweed pollen counts are off the charts around here.
