How I Cured My Allergy in 2 Weeks

Since elementary school, I have always been allergic to everything. You know when you go to the allergist and they make small holes on your arms with various substances to check for any abnormal immune system reactions? Well, I tested positive for everything, or almost everything.

Specifically, I was allergic to dust mites, dogs, cats, rabbits, cherries, kiwis, apples, almonds, countless plants, and the most annoying of all, spring pollen.

I always had asthma problems and excessive mucus production, itching in my nose and eyes, especially between March and June. The only slim consolation was the possibility of being exempted from the Cooper test, that stupid physical education test where you have to run for 12 minutes to the death to scrape by and remain sweaty and malodorous during the following classes.

Obviously, I made abundant use and abuse of drugs promising to control the symptoms, from syrups to pills, from cortisone inhalers, to adrenaline inhalers for acute attacks.
