Follow-Up Re: What do you think? Dr. response to my questions:

[Guest guest]

Just a few notes on myself, and see if it gives you an idea.

A few years ago I had a lot of stomach and throat problems..went the

GI doc route and the scope and other tests.. I was allergic to the

chlorine in the water, got a reverse osmosis system and use it fo

rall cooking, mixing, drinking etc.. problem solved..

Bounce ahead to being sent back to the allergist as I was having a

few reactions( severe) he looks me over and notices the goiter,

starts the whole thyroid cycle testing etc..although I eat healthy

anyways, I grab the B-Complex..whole foods..make sure I am eating

healthy etc..

Well turns out I am allergic to the B 12, the antibacterial in the

hand soap I was using, not to mention a whole lot of foods high in

nickel etc.

It is hard to explain..soy is out, and it is in everything..shellfish

and fish are out and things like lettuce is out..none of them really

bugged me until I had them out of my system for a good month.

Today before work I took the boys to DQ..too bad for me the fries

were cooked in the same oil as the shrimp..and I could tell after 2

fries..

What happens is they have gone from being type 4 delayed reactions to

type 1 immediate reactions.

With the type 4 delayed reaction the body is in constant attack..too

many allergens, the WBC tends to be in the higher end of the range.

The body is in a constant state of inflammation, and a lot of medical

literature tends to refer to this stage as the pre autoimmune state.

By taking my allergies and avoiding them they are becoming type 1

allergic responses is the immediate response and what you would

expect for an allergic reaction. But it has lowered my WBC into a

much more exceptable range which means less inflammation and less

damage to my body.

As far as the smoking goes..I should not be preaching as I am in the

process of quitting myself..so I know all the traps..for me cigarette

smoke is only second to food for nickel content. Not to mention that

it causes inflammation in the body..inflammation leads to damage.
