Sounds like immune system weakness possibly from gluten intolerance

and other stress related factors, heavy metal exposure, allergies -

dust mites, cat, etc., lack of vit. D and other nutrients. I'm

convinced the best things to help are herbs and spices, and

probiotics. Ginger is a wonderful spice, the " universal medicine "

that they fought over centuries ago. It has antiviral, antibiotic,

normalizing properties for fats etc., various vitamins and minerals,

etc. 1/2 teaspoon dry daily is used in other countries instead of

aspirin for the heart. For Probiotics, yogurt and brewer's yeast are

also very good. Don't get fortified yeast, just plain. And he should

get sun daily for vit. D and the eczema, and will help with his eyes,

and try to not wear the glasses outside or when reading (don't know

his age). Also NO SOY if you haven't heard, unless fermented like

miso. Soy can really mess you up long term.

Sandy,

Sounds like his immune system is really shot. Have you had him tested for

food allergies?

What good does it do to test for allergies? Then what if you are

allergic to mold or dust and you are a guy living in a dorm? I am

sincerely asking not just trying to be difficult...

But we do have a more immediate problem and no more time as he is

leaving to go to Europe for a European studies program through his

university on Monday and he went to Cedar Point on Monday and may have

a cervical strain/injury. Oh, brother!

Well....if he has food allergies that underly his weakened immune system

then he can avoid the offending foods, which should result in a strengthened

immune system which should result in him not getting sick so often. It would

also help to take immune boosters, BTW.

Sorry to hear that :-( The European trip, sounds great however. Generally

much better food over there than here. Maybe his health will turn around on

his new European diet...
