A Cure for the Allergy Epidemic? Is probiotics the answer; are we too far from nature, the farm?

I used to be part of a group who met once a month and picked up orders from an Amish farmer. He believed in “clean” organic farming, free roaming pastured animals; i.e. cows that ate only grass and hay, and didn’t stand in their own feces all day.
We bought raw milk but it became so expensive we had to stop. Now I just take pro-biotics made from raw food.
Do you think getting back to nature will help with the rising allergy problem and digestive problems or is it much more complicated – water isn’t cleanable anymore, air, lifestyle, eating the modern diet?
