RE: Naffy...Allergic Reactions

[Guest guest]

Naffy,

I recommend googling to find one without ascorbic acid. I know they make

them because I have used them in the past. Once you find a brand, you can

have your hubby call local health stores to find one that carries it. Or, he

can call them in your area and just ask if they carry any without ascorbic

acid and preferably in powder or liquid form (absorbed better).

The one I have on hand now is Twinlab Super C.

http://www.vitacost.com/Twinlab-Super-C-Powder I don't know if this one has

ascorbic acid or not, the label doesn't say. It has Rose hips, Acerola,

bioflavonoids, Rutin, hesperidin in addtion to the C. For some reason I

cannot remember the brand I took that doesn't have it, but I know it was a

wonderful brand that my local health food carried and I took it daily for

years until I got better. For awhile I was allergic to ascorbic acid so

only could take those without. Since I am no longer allergic, I have no

problems any more taking a variety of ones.

I took 15 grams which is a HUGE amount, but it what my body needed. Yes, I

got the runs, but that is what I wanted...get it all out. You could start

with 2-3 grams then in a few hours add that much in again and keep going. I

took it all at once which probably wasn't the best way but I wasn't thinking

clearly at the time.

For the itch, have your hubby go out and buy " magnetic clay " or " Aztec clay "

(same thing) at a health store and some apple cider vinegar. There is a

paste that you make with the vinegar and the clay that you can test on a

small hive patch. If the vinegar is too strong (it will sting at first but

should go down shortly) just use water. Then, put the clay all over your

body and let it dry. You can then put loose clothing over. The clay will

help reduce the itching, and will cover the spot so that is you are tempted

to scratch, you will just have clay there as a barrier. I did this and only

had one day of really bad itching...ironically it was about the 3rd or 4th

day of my breakout. By the next day the itch had lessened and by 2 days

could barely feel it even though the hives stayed a week to 10 days.

Re: Allergic Reactions

Cheri I forgot....I wanted to do the Vit C flush and had my hubbie

help me search the cabinets last night for one that wasn't ascorbic

acid. ALL of the ones in our house are ascorbic acid so I didn't

dare.

What are the other kinds of Vit C I can take, and how much and for

how long? To bowel tolerance? How will I know if I have the eternal

runs from the magnesium laxative from last night?

Sorry to bother with so manyh questions....and thanks,

Naffy

The Vitamin C is an antihistamine so it is actually " fighting the hives " so

to speak. If you already have diarrhea from the magnesium, then use a lower

dosage of the C.

I don't know why I became no longer allergic. My theory all allergies are

toxin related and the less toxic you are, the less allergens and vice versa.

I never had allergies as a child...they came slowly as the years and my

toxicity level increased, especially as my liver got congested. So, doing

the cleanses and taking things to help rid my body of toxins like C flushes,

parasite cleanses, herbs, organic foods, etc. I am sure helped.

I still have a lot of allergy issues and such, but nothing nearly as bad as

a few years ago. I still have a long way to go though. When I can start

wearing metal earrings again I will consider that a huge improvement.

Thank you chere...will do some surfing now to find a good vit c.

Just a question: is the vit C actually fighting the hives, or are

we taking it to get diahrea, and thus wipe the toxins out. Becuase

if it is to just get the diarhea...I ALREADY HAVE IT. That

magnesium did a number on me and I really beleive I am empty now.

You said you are no longer allergic? How did that happen?>

Thanks again for all of your knowledge...I'm a bit better

today...but still itching.>

That's because the people writing up that on the Google search sites aren't

chemists. Wikipedia for one has notoriously bad information, probably

because it is written and edited by anyone without real fact checking.

Here looks like a good source for vitamin c that is NOT ascorbic acid.

However, if you have no allergic reactions to ascorbic acid, you can

certainly take it. I guess I assumed you were allergic without actually

verifying.

Re: Naffy...Allergic Reactions

Hmmm my google search says that ascorbic acid y just another name

for vitamin C.
