Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 hi all, i'm sure i've read somewhere that hayfever can be healed with coconut oil. i've read so much over the past month on coconut oil i've lost track where i read what... my question is, has anyone on here experienced this? the first time i had hayfever was when i was about 6 or 7. at the time and for years later i was stuffed with antihistamine tablets. i stopped taking anything for it once i left home. during my first pregnancy the symptoms disappeared, then came back a couple years later, but nowhere near as strong. then second pregnancy happened, and symptoms disappeared completely. in the meantime we moved to the US (from england), first to california bay area, no symptoms there. then to the arizona desert, no symptoms there either. returned to england 2 1/2 years ago, and a year ago i experienced the worst symptoms again, runny nose 24/7, 80+ sneezes a day. a homeopathic remedy (apis c30) kept it in check, and i was able to breathe without too many sneezes etc, but it evidently didn't get rid of it, since i came down with the symptoms today, the first warm-ish day this year, dunno about pollen count, but i sneezed loads and my nose hasn't stopped running. for the past 2 1/2 weeks i've been taking 3-4 tablespoons of coconut oil, in cooking and/or smoothies (banana, pineapple, coconut milk and a spoonful of coconut oil). how much coconut oil do it need to take in order to get rid of the hayfever, or at least to make it better, does anyone know, have any idea? grateful for any suggestions aside allopathic! claudia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I spray my nose with seawater when i experience runny nose from allergens. I also drink water with a pinch of seasalt. Both remedies stop my allergy immediately. hayfever? hi all, i'm sure i've read somewhere that hayfever can be healed with coconut oil. i've read so much over the past month on coconut oil i've lost track where i read what... my question is, has anyone on here experienced this? the first time i had hayfever was when i was about 6 or 7. at the time and for years later i was stuffed with antihistamine tablets. i stopped taking anything for it once i left home. during my first pregnancy the symptoms disappeared, then came back a couple years later, but nowhere near as strong. then second pregnancy happened, and symptoms disappeared completely. in the meantime we moved to the US (from england), first to california bay area, no symptoms there. then to the arizona desert, no symptoms there either. returned to england 2 1/2 years ago, and a year ago i experienced the worst symptoms again, runny nose 24/7, 80+ sneezes a day. a homeopathic remedy (apis c30) kept it in check, and i was able to breathe without too many sneezes etc, but it evidently didn't get rid of it, since i came down with the symptoms today, the first warm-ish day this year, dunno about pollen count, but i sneezed loads and my nose hasn't stopped running. for the past 2 1/2 weeks i've been taking 3-4 tablespoons of coconut oil, in cooking and/or smoothies (banana, pineapple, coconut milk and a spoonful of coconut oil). how much coconut oil do it need to take in order to get rid of the hayfever, or at least to make it better, does anyone know, have any idea? grateful for any suggestions aside allopathic! claudia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 , Your hayfever appears to me to be a possible low metabolism. That you lived in a warmer climates (southern California and Arizona) without symptoms and then moved to a temperate one--cold/dark/wet (England) AND experienced no symptoms when pregnant. Your body was possibly using your baby's thyroid and/or your body's progesterone levels were at their highest...and progesterone can make up for low thyroid sometimes. Read Dr. Peat's work at efn.org/~raypeat/ and Dr. Broda O. ' book Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness. Have you heard of 's Thyroid Syndrome? A person's body is putting out adequate thyroid (per lab tests) but the body can't use it/metabolise it correctly. Here is his book online to read free as given to www.flylady.net members several months ago to share http://www.wilsonssyndrome.com/Products/WTSeBookForFlyLady.htm Coconut oil stills holds a high place in my diet for thyroid support.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 hi melly, i've been taking 'sole' (himalayan crystal saline solution) for nearly two years now. although it's helped a great deal with all kinds of problems, i've not managed to get rid of the hayfever. the seawater here is just way too polluted to use on and inside the body... claudia Re: hayfever?
