New Allergy Drug Brings Relief for Hay Fever Sufferers
Boston specialist Dr. Ethan Allan Brown reports that a single yearly injection of pollen extract emulsified relieved hay fever and pollen asthma in most of 685 treated patients. Of 572 with no symptoms, 113 had some signs but only 56 linked to pollen exposure. 113 still felt better than before. Brown calls the emulsion injection a potential major breakthrough, noting traditional multi injections may be flawed.
