Allergies

[Guest guest]

Have you considered NAET? www.naet.com

I think some folks have found dye-free benedryl helpful.

S S

Does anyone have any recommendations of what to give for seasonal

outdoor allergies? Our ASD daughter can not take any conventional

antihistamines, and the red circles under eyes, nasty behavior have all

surfaced. Any thoughts would be so appreciated.

Thanks,

OLE eliminated this problem for me. Some of my " seasonal allergies "

were actually food intolerances, and digestive enzymes eliminated

those. But the ones that were caused by pollen etc, were eliminated

with OLE.

Hi!

We use Vit C and olive leaf....not sure how long it takes but it does

make things a lot better....I would not use benedryl....have heard some

nasties about it...and I know that it does cause some heavy duty

nosebleeds at my house if given more than once or twice...sometimes

once...the only way we could use it all was to add gelatin as in jello

or knox....or gelatin caps. I understand you can twirl a Q-tip with

vaseline like thing in the nose to keep it lubricated...but that

usually made them sneeze which in turn made them have more nosebleeds

if that was an issue at the time.

just my two cents.

Vitamin C and pantothenic acid, given frequently, every 3 hours if possible are

great for allergies. It takes awhile but it works and doesn't just mask the

allergy. Make sure that Vitamin A levels are high and E is also said to help

downregulate allergies.

Other people have used Quercetin and Nettle Leaf and found relief.

Olive leaf extract eliminated my seasonal allergies.

Has anyone had any experiences with allergies getting better or worse while taking LDN?

Also, has anyone had experience with allergic reactions to LDN itself, or to one of the fillers?

Thanks

My sister started on LDN last year and it immediately took her allergies away. Then she later went off it, the allergies reappeared and when she started LDN a second time, again, the allergies immediately ceased. She plans to stay on LDN now.

I'm going back to re-run the same histamine prick tests I went through in Feb/Mar 2003, a month or so before starting LDN.

So I'll have a medical picture comparison from pre-LDN til now.

If there's a major notible difference, I'll be reporting it everywhere!

I've been on LDN since Dec. 2004 and it hasn't helped my allergies. I

had the prick test in 2006 and had to be off antihistamines for 10 days

before testing and my histamine level was 9 on the (1-10 scale) and I

reacted to every prick they did from 5's to 9's. I sure wish LDN would

make all my allergies disappear and my reactions to barometric pressure!

Sorry to hear.. maybe it's something else that you're unaware of?

I also go to chiropractors, they help a lot also. One of my chiros does A-K on anything 'new' I want to try, or anything I think I may be getting a reaction from.

Now that you mention barometric pressure... hmmm... I used to be able to predict precipitation 36-48 hours in advance, even better than weather.com; but I noticed after a while on LDN I couldn't do that any more. Actually, I think it was 2005 when I realized I hadn't had a wetweather headache in a long while.

I've had 3 I think, one being that fast mover we had last month.

I'll see how my results compare soon enough

I have never really got colds and viruses, flu and such but the

allergies progressed over the years along with going thru changes with

the barometric pressure. I don't understand why some people feel it

and others don't or do not know that is linked to what they are

feeling. We have constant low pressure now where in the past did not.

The dry air affects me also with this drought. Living in the desert

would be torture.

Rhonda - My SO reacted on the 9 -10 histimine pricks and then had immediate systemic reaction that freaked out the doctor and then went into an excerbation that we had to treat with Solumedral several weeks later because he wasn't pulling out of it. It was all very disturbing. More than likely because allergies are also so varied in how they affect people (another problem the doctors know nothing about and only treat symptoms) more than likely the LDN will be reacting differently with allergies.

My seasonal allegies did improve quite a bit this year with the LDN. On the really bad days, one Claritan seemed to do the trick and most days I didn't need to take one. In prior years I really did suffer in the late spring to early fall. I have been on 3.0 for about 16 months.

Ronda,

Just for the heck of it, try looking up Apple Cider Vinegar and allergies. A couple of sites state that by taking this daily you can get rid of allergies. I don't have experience with it, but it might be worth giving a shot.

Might want to research apple cider vinegar more. I read somewhere that was the worst thing to take if you have MS. Also, this newsletter mentions LDN - thought it might be of interest.

I did not know about Apple Cider Vinegar not being good for MS. I wonder what problems it has.

Which news letter are you referring too?

Thanks

Hi,

In regard to intradermal testing. Has anyone had this done and received any help

from taking allergy shots if one tests positive to mold and mildew. I have the

constant headaches and 15 or so years ago I was allergy tested for everything

and gradually eliminated grass, trees and everything except mold and mildew. I

moved to another State and had to quit. Am thinking about being tested again and

maybe the allergy shots that I gave myself 2-3 times a week would help. People

are talking about moving, etc but apparently allergy shots do not help anyone???

Any comments,

Thanks,

H,.

[Guest guest]

Allergy shots help me greatly. Having my immune system " hammered " by

the mold exposure has made me very allergic. I take them every 3-4

days. I use shots for mold, all of the pollens, and canine when

necessary as my doggy has " left " us.

I take allergy shots. The mold threw my immune system so far out of whack

that I became allergic to everything. The allergy shots have helped that part of

this. Nort the mold part. I soon will be tested for molds though.

I am sure that many others have had great results with Allergy Shots

as I initially did. I started with food shots then moved to pollens

& grasses but when Molds were added to my twice weekly shots I became

very chemically sensitive (Bubble Boy).

Not knowing at the time that our home had a mold growth behind a

bathroom tub (a plumbing error causing water to leak into the wall

when the shower was used) once the mold was cleaned up and stopped

taking allergy shots my chemical sensitivities improved by 80%.

In discussion with Dr. Shoemaker years later, he stated that

continually pumping Mycotoxins (Mold Allegy Shots)into a person's

body might seem to help - it might also (As in my case) be that extra

load that sends you over the edge.

That must be why Dr. Shoemaker's approach is removal of Bio-toxins

and treating body functions that are out of balance - and doesn't do

any of the high-dollar allergy testing / treatment.

Maybe I am just one in a million - but 4 years later my wife went

chemically sensitive during testing in the doctor's office in a well-

known Dallas clinic.

Guess your post is what I was looking for about the allergy shots being a

continually pumping of Mycotoxcins into a person's body. Will think twice about

the allergy testing but am at the end of my rope. My headaches are so bad and do

so many things.

[Guest guest]

I'm glad to hear this too as I wondered about this. I have read many

times that washing sinuses on a daily bases can pretty much elimanate

the need for allergy shots. headackes in the forehead area may be

from sinus problems, you may want to have sinus ct scans done.and

done while your suffering the headackes. I've found that extra

strength exciderin can help sometimes. hope this helps.
