Monday Health & Wellness: Trilight ALRG Reviews and GIVEAWAY!

A few weeks ago we had a giveaway for some Trilight Health ALRG.  Three winners were chosen and were asked to share their experiences using this product.  I know many of you suffer from seasonal allergies (or have a family member that does).  And now, in the spring, with pollen floating everywhere, it’s bad.

Today I’m bringing you these three women’s experiences with ALRG.  And after you read them (they’re ALL positive! and yes they’re completely honest), you’ll have a chance to win a bottle to try!   It’s a pretty awesome deal all around.

Let’s see what the women had to say!

The Reviews

Shannon’s Experience

I wanted to try this product because my oldest son has allergies.  They flare up in the spring and if he eats too much sugar.

We use a combination of Chinese herbs, essential oils, and probiotics to help us keep the allergies under control.  Depending on the season, and the amount of sugar/carbs he has had that day, they work so-so. When it’s really bad we resort to an OTC allergy medication.

I haven’t heard of Trilight Health before. I love that they are alcohol and sugar free. My son really liked the taste. I liked the quantity, and the easy to pour spout on the bottle.

After a couple of days, I ended up using a little above the dosing recommendations, so for my son the recommendation was 1/2 tsp every three hours. I ended up dosing more like 1 tsp every three hours. I felt that this worked better for him.  It was a high pollen count here in Northern California those days, and we had a busy couple of days with family and friends, so, you know, the diet was so-so.

Once I upped the dosage and was consistent, I did see improvement in his allergies. During the day they were almost non-existent. Nighttime however, he is still coming downstairs with runny nose and itchy eyes.  It is my experience with herbs and the like, that they do work best with consistency and gradually.  I have tons of the herb left and will maintain consistency with the rest of the bottle.

I would recommend it to a friend for ease of use, the sugar/alcohol free bit, and for effectiveness.  I would love to try some of their other products as well.  Thanks for giving us another tool kit in our seasonal allergy battle.

Heather’s Experience

I originally was wanting to have my son try ALRG. He was having some issues with red puffy eyes and his nose was a bit congested.  When we received it however, he was not able to use it at the time due to being on another medication.

I decided that I would try it to see if it would clear up the mild symptoms that I had. Mostly a runny nose and slightly itchy eyes. I have used other OTC allergy medications in the past, but didn’t really feel the need to use them this year as they weren’t very severe.

I found the taste to be fairly pleasant. It almost reminded me of maple syrup. I did feel like it burned a little going down and into my stomach, but that only lasted a couple of minutes.

Within a few days of taking it I did notice that my eyes weren’t itchy like they had been and my nose was dripping a lot less. This week I had forgotten to take it (as I often do when I don’t notice any symptoms).

That’s when I noticed something else that it may have been helping. I have a patch of skin on my eyelid that has been red and itchy for a while now. I just figured it was eczema or something, but hadn’t really done much with it except for a bit of salve. Well, it had recently started to get worse. I would wake up with a swollen eyelid and it would really itch. Well, last week it was starting to dry up and get better, but I didn’t think anything of it until I forgot to take the ALRG this week. The redness, swelling and itch started to come back. Once I put two and two together (I know, sometimes I’m slow lol) I started taking it again, and I’m hopeful it will help.

It would probably work a bit faster if I would take it as many times as Trilight recommends, but I honestly only took it 2-3 times a day and still had good results. Overall I’m very happy with the product and will definitely be buying it again, and next time I’ll have my son try it as well.

Jill’s Experience

In the past, I have used over-the-counter and prescription allergy relief (Benadryl, Claritin, Zyrtec). In the last 4 months, I have started taking a teaspoon of local raw honey daily, cut processed foods and (almost all) sugars. The OTC meds would occasionally mask the symptoms (or keep my throat from swelling shut around cats), but I was never fully relieved of all allergy issues.

I DO feel that the raw honey and cutting out of processed foods and sugars has made a huge difference (particularly with mold issues — as I now live in the Pacific Northwest).

I have always suffered with seasonal allergies, ever since I can remember. Sneezing from March-May, and then again August-October (grew up in the midwest). As I have gotten older, I have noticed that I have big issues with mold (all year) but particularly during the rainy season. I am also severely allergic to cats.

Initially, I thought the smell was really strong but when I took it mixed with water, as indicated in the instructions, it was very easy to take. The instructions state that you can take it every 3 hours, but I chose to take it morning and evening, as those were easy times to remember :-)

The biggest issue I have with my allergies is waking every morning to sneezing fits during the heavy mold season. While these have tapered off dramatically due to the raw honey/diet change, they have not gone away completely. For the last four mornings, I have not had these! I have also noticed that my skin does not get as itchy when I am playing with my dog, as it has in the past.

Not having the sneezing fits has cleared up other issues-no itchy/watery eyes, no congestion. I haven’t sneezed in four days now and that is completely UNHEARD OF for me! I would definitely recommend it to a friend who has seasonal allergies or mold allergies.

I love that there is a “natural formula” for relieving allergy symptoms, and I will definitely keep Trilight Health in mind as a natural health resource. (Am excited to try other products of theirs!)

Thoughts

Those are some pretty positive reviews!  All three women noticed definite results from taking ALRG, and all three would recommend it to a friend and keep taking it.   When we did Trilight product reviews a few months ago, someone else tried ALRG then and also had a great experience.

I am very excited about their products in general but this one seems to be especially top-quality.  Others have come back with mixed reviews, but this one has been positive across the board.

Best of all, they’re sugar-free, vegetarian, alcohol-free, and safe for pregnant women and children.  They even have formulas made specifically for pregnant women, if that’s something you need!

If you’ve been struggling with seasonal allergies and haven’t found relief, you must try this.  The reviews speak for themselves.

Need Seasonal Allergy Relief?

‘Tis the season…for allergies.

We’ve had a lot of questions on Facebook lately from people who are needing seasonal allergy relief.  I’ve seen many of my friends struggling with high pollen counts and other issues.  It’s not fun.

What if you could do something about, though…without the usual drugs?

Seasonal Allergy Relief

There are a lot of natural remedies — two basic ones that work for many people are freeze-dried nettle and raw local honey.  But sometimes, depending on the type and severity of the allergy, this isn’t enough.  Something more is required.

Last month, one reader had the opportunity to try Trilight Health’s ALRG formula, and experienced wonderful results.  Trilight has a whole gamut of remedies to address allergies, colds, coughs, and other related symptoms.  These are all herbal tinctures (glycerin-based), so they are safe and natural and help your body to overcome the reaction without side effects.

Would you like a chance to try?

Three lucky readers are going to get a chance try their ALRG formula.  All you have to do is tell me why you want to win, and promise to report back in a couple weeks to share your experience with the rest of us.  We want to know if it helps you!

Trilight’s Products

If you’re not familiar with Trilight Health, you should check them out.  I have been using formulas from them for over a year now.  I am continuing to take their blue-green minerals, because it does seem to make a difference for me.  That, combined with my FCLO, seems to help me have more energy and lately, less anxiety (maybe I’ll talk about that later…we’ll see).

Their formulas are based on traditional Chinese herbal medicine, and are in glycerin-based tinctures, which are safe for small children and pregnant women because they contain no alcohol.  They have a lot of interesting formulas, like a tri-iron formula (great for pregnant women or those who are anemic) and several immune-boosting formulas.

If you are looking for alternative medicine that’s “easy” — something you can just take, rather than having to research and gather a bunch of supplies and prepare yourself — this is a great option.

How to Win

Simply tell me below why you want to!  This is only for the ALRG formula.  Three winners will be chosen using “Ant the Winner Is” plugin.  This giveaway is open through Sunday and winners will be notified on Monday, April 16th.  Winners need to respond (privately) with their mailing addresses ASAP, as we are hoping to do the product reviews on April 30th.

**This post was sponsored by Trilight Health.  But I do really love their products and am excited to promote them.**

Green Pastures GIVEAWAY!

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love Green Pastures products.  In fact, I just put in another order last week, because I was running low on my Cinnamon Tingle FCLO/BO, which I love and never want to be out of.  Except for brief lapses because I just wasn’t paying attention, I have bought and had on hand these products constantly since I first tried them a year and a half ago.

You can read my initial review, as well as more information about their products, if you are curious.

If you buy any  supplement, and you can only afford one on a regular basis…this should be it.  And it’s definitely something you want for healthy children!  Mine still enjoy their “special chocolate” (Chocolate Cream flavored FCLO/BO) everyday.  In fact, they remind me if I forget.  I still notice how we handle things better when we take it than when we don’t.

Really?

I know some of you are skeptics.  Because let’s face it, this stuff is expensive.  Does it really work that well?

This spring, some pretty nasty stuff went through our area.  People had terrible stomach viruses that lasted days.  There was bronchitis, strep throat, RSV, and a number of other things.  Babies were hospitalized or prescribed nebulizers.  Many were down with antibiotics.  I’m sure we were exposed to these things several times.

Yet, we escaped relatively unscathed.

We were sick more often than I liked — it seemed like someone was taking a turn every few days, for awhile there — but each person’s illness was over in a matter of hours, a day tops.  No one ran a high fever (I’m not sure anyone had one at all, actually).  No one had a lingering cough.  We didn’t even need to consider seeing a doctor, much less taking any drugs.  It was annoying, but it was, in the grand scheme, so minor.

And I credit a healthy diet…and FCLO.  That’s been our experience all along!

Last fall my husband suffered a very bad case of poison ivy.  Bad enough that after a couple days, we went to urgent care and he got a steroid shot (I know!!).  Anyway, it did nothing, further confirming my general avoidance of all things mainstream (in non-emergency situations, of course).  I talked him into taking his FCLO, which he hadn’t done for awhile.  Within a day or so, the poison ivy was healing, because the FCLO boosted his immune system and reduced inflammation.  It was pretty awesome.

Want Some?

Now that I’ve talked it up…again…want to try it?  It’s not cheap, as I said.  But it’s completely worth it.  It’s a hard “pill” to swallow, spending that much money just to try something out.

But three lucky winners will get a $50 gift card to buy the product of their choice.  (I know…it’s a big week!)  Here’s how to win:

  1. Visit Green Pastures and tell me which product you’d choose
  2. Subscribe to me via RSS or email
  3. “Like” me on Facebook
  4. Follow me on Twitter and tweet “I’m going to try Green Pastures cod liver oil when I win it @ModernAMama! http://www.modernalternativemama.com/?p=9380″

That’s it!  This giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere.  Prize is 1 $50-coupon for product of choice, for three winners.  No cash value.  If shipping or product cost is in excess of $50, winner is responsible to pay this.  Giveaway will run through Saturday, Mar. 24th, and the winner will be announced Monday, Mar. 26th.  Winners will be chosen via WP plugin “And The Winner Is” at random.
