Guest guest Posted November 12, 1999 Report Share Posted November 12, 1999 : This isn't a bunch of little tiny dots, it's huge red ugly looking hives! The biggest one covers his entire tummy. Actually, today (Friday) they are pretty much gone. Just some faint red blotches now. Oh Well!

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 I have a friend who had a bad case of hives and she traced it to her hair dye. Over several months, the hives went away. Of course, she wouldn't agree to use the diet to help cleanse her. She thought I was crazy but I reminded her that I wasn't the one with the hives.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 I was having bouts of hives for about 3 months, not as bad as you but bad enough. Mine started in the evenings but would dissipate during the night. Mine were related to pressure on the body eg around the waist etc where the clothing was tight, or on my thighs and legs where I sat on a chair or if I scratched etc. I was eating a lot of nuts at the time, a lot of almonds as well as pecans and walnuts. I was/am under a lot of stress. Anyhow, I quit eating any nuts for about 1 week and the hives went away completely. I then ate some almonds and got the hives again. I can eat pecans, walnuts and peanuts with no hives. Watch what you eat real carefully. Even if something is HB or neutral, you may be allergic to it. If you can remember anything you were eating a lot of regularly before try and eliminate it for a week and then re-introduce it. from Canada > >Hi there!

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Thank you, . I AM a big pasta nut, so it occurred to me that pasta might be my problem. And after re-reading ER4YT, I realized that wheat may be the underlying culprit, if in fact pasta caused these reactions. What I didn't mention in my introduction, is that my naturopath told me that any kind of trauma, physical or emotional, could have triggered these reactions. I then remembered falling down a couple of steps at the local arena just prior to these breakouts. I didn't go to see a doctor for at least a week, even though I had a lump the size of a small apple on my ankle. I used ice packs. It wasn't long after that, that I began waking up with itchy red dots just below my knees. I thought it was bites, and tore my bed apart, washed all the linens, sprayed the bed with Lysol, then another time with a flea spray (thinking maybe my dog had fleas). Through all of this, the hives began to increase and move up my legs, then onto the rest of my body and arms. Now, I begin to get itchy at night and it just about drives me crazy. I use Gold Bond Extra Strength to ease the itch, and try to go to sleep right away. But every morning, it's the same thing until I have been up and going for a while. So, you see, I don't even know whether this began as a reaction to something I ingested (two attacks I thought were caused by lemons), or some physical or emotional trauma. I do plan to try re-introducing things to my diet later, once the histamine level goes down, but there's no sense in doing that yet. My eyes were swelled up the other night, and the night before that my lips swelled up. I'll be glad to be done de-toxifying my body whenever that happens. I loved the responses to my plight by others on this list. I feel so enlightened and encouraged to stick to this plan. Thanks again, Re: Hives I was having bouts of hives for about 3 months, not as bad as you but bad enough. Mine started in the evenings but would dissipate during the night.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Most people I have talked to about the " diet " I'm on are interested, even very interested in hearing about it, but wouldn't try it themselves. I think the hardest part about changing your eating lifestyle is whether or not, and/or how to feed your family, who are not interested in changing. I guess I'll perform little discreet changes while making dinner, like serving mainly highly beneficial and neutral foods (we're all Type O). That part's not so hard, but I don't think I'll ever get them off wheat bread, or dairy. Re: Re: Hives I have a friend who had a bad case of hives and she traced it to her hair dye.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Jannette, I didn't know this was a response to thyroid or that O's are pretty prone to this. Was recently diagnosed with low thyroid and put on Westhroid. But have really had problems with itching/allergic type welts (look similar to mosquitos bites but aren't) a lot since I started on the BT diet. I thought maybe it was a part of detox but sounds like it could be a combination. My ND hasn't really told me much about low thyroid except to put me on the med.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Have your thyroid function checked (ie, TSH, T3, T4 etc). How do you feel regarding the symptoms that led to you being put on the Westhroid formula? Usually doses go through a period of adjustment until the right dosage is found. If the dosage is too high it can make you temporarily hyperthyroid even when your underlying condition is hypothyroid and vice versa. Going on the BTD, especially depending on what supplements ypu take, or change to, can also affect the dosage needed for you to be in balance. You need to get more info from your ND regarding your blood tests to evaluate this, and work closely with him regarding your diet and supplements. For instance, if you are taking Deflect, it can affect your body's responce to the Westhroid and the dosage may need to be lowered to prevent hyperthyroid conditions. Also, so-called " allergies " can be thyroid based. This site is a pretty good starting point for info on Westhroid http://thyroid.about.com/library/weekly/aa092401a.htm This site is for thyroid issues in general http://thyroid.about.com/mbody.htm It seems that Westhroid is derived from pork, and per Dr. Dadamo, pork is a MAJOR Avoid for type Os. I personally supplement my Levoxyl with Nutri-Med's Bovine Desiccated Thyroid Glandular, as well as the Adrenal glandular. My advice is to do some reading, then talk to your ND. Hopefully a more comfortable existence is just around the corner. Blessings, Jannette <I didn't know this was a response to thyroid or that O's are pretty prone to this.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 I wasn't sure what the connection was between thyroid and hives, but the allergist I saw in March tested me for thyroid condition and the results were negative. But just from what you said, it does sound like a symptom of poor thyroid function, doesn't it? Hmmm. Re: Re: Hives , Have you had your thyriod function tested?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Toxins in todays environment are also causing signifigant health problems. Some of the treatments you did to your bed could have intensified your problems. The toxins in lysol and flea spray are very high. There are non-toxic products out there which will do the same job and not compromise your health. Tea tree oil will kill fleas on pets, dust mites and dust mite eggs in your bedding as well as moulds etc. There are also laundry soaps which will not leave toxins in the bedding after washing. There are non-toxic cleaners for your home as well. For example 'Pine' type cleaners used on floors can kill dogs and cats when it gets on their paws and they wash themselves (my son who is a VetTech told me this). from Canada >From: " & Bruce Doyle " <bruce.doyle@...> > I thought it was bites, and tore >my bed apart, washed all the linens, sprayed the bed with Lysol, then >another time with a flea spray (thinking maybe my dog had fleas).

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Spelt bread looks like 'wheat' bread. Kamut and spelt noodles look similar to wheat noodles (they are early versions of wheat). It is not hard to remove a lot of avoids in cooking (You're the boss in the kitchen!) You can use arrowroot or rice flour for thickening. You can use black beans instead of kidney beans in chili etc. This group will give you lots of ideas on how to modify receipies so 'they' will not even know you are changing things. from Canada >From: " & Bruce Doyle " <bruce.doyle@...> > >I guess I'll perform little discreet changes while making dinner, like >serving mainly highly beneficial and neutral foods (we're all Type O). >That >part's not so hard, but I don't think I'll ever get them off wheat bread, >or >dairy. > > > Hilchie 'Be Well and Prosper' Nikken Independent Wellness Consultant http://www.5pillars.com/maryhilchie _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 You may be allergic to some chemical in the Lex. I am allergic to sulphur and can't take any meds that have sulfur in it. Check it out if the hives keep up. I went thru a very bad period two years ago with horrible hives. Turned out I am allergic to wheat which is in everything! Hives : after a few weeks of 10 mg Lex I have 4 red itchy spots on my tummy and 4 on my thigh. What a weird side effect if it indeed is that !

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Honestly I don't know. The only real way to know what is in there exactly is to call the Pharm. company. I had trouble with generic Prozac....I called the co. and they asked me a bunch of questions, but when I told them I was trying to see if there was any ingrediant that I may be allergic to, they gave me all of them.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hi Pete, Thanks for the follow up questions. This is a 13 year old female who is coming due to anxiety and panic attacks. She comes from an intact family with very high achieving parents, one of whom is a recovering alcoholic. She is a gorgeous (she looks like a 20 year old model) young woman and they live in a community of fairly wealthy professionals. I suspect it would be difficult to be her and not have anxiety although there are some indicators that she might be particularly sensitive. She also has a history of eating disorder which seems to be in remission at the moment. She also reports some OCVD like behavior. She sees a therapist on a regular basis. The assessment showed very hot temporals as the predominant issue. I have seen her for 6 sessions and tried (at at T3 and T4) 2 channel squash; 2 channel windowed squash (12-15 window); 2 channel squish 15-36; the " Othmer " one channel wide band with sliding frewuency which she seemed to feel best with around 12-15. Her brain responds rapidly to the feedback and she makes the most beautiful graphs of whatever task is set for her. The squash made her feel more relaxed during the session but she had a major panic attack the next day. (I suspected a rebound reaction so did not let her lower her high beta as much in following sessions.) I have also been working with her on breathing and other behavioral interventions. Due to scheduling issues on their part, she comes once per week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 , Have you spoken with her counselor? Just from what you describe I suspect there is more going on in her home environment, or has gone on in the past. If her home environment has problems then her reactions may be an attempt to cope with that environment. Just my two cents. --Warmly, This email and any attachments may contain confidential information and it is intended for the addressee only.
