Hi Sol,

Last year I had a really vicious attack of hives from out of the blue and

couldn't figure anything out. Had someone over who muscle tested

literally everything in my kitchen. It took hours and we still couldn't

really figure anything out. Then one day I was reading on a new (to me)

yahoo list called Failsafe, where they were discussing sensitivities to

glutamates and amines. Have you looked into this?

At the time, I was following the Weston Price diet with lots of bone

broths, fermented veggies, sprouted grains and seeds, soaked nuts and

seeds. I realized it was when I added the sprouted grains that my hives

started. I had to discontinue all of the above to get the hives to

subside, which they did completely, and not a single outbreak since. I

have done some research on glutamates and amines, it's pretty

esoteric--but not all that uncommon. Obviously, I have no idea what

your diet's like, but thought I'd pass on my experience.

Also, I slathered myself with milk of magnesia and took epsom salts baths

with baking soda to get relief. Nothing else worked.
