Thank you so much Abby, I will definitely try your advice. has some

very specific symptoms of the mercury poisoning including excessive sweating and

very unusual muscle jerking. It may be just me getting impatient, but I am so

anxious to get started on chelation. will be 8 on friday and I feel

like I am losing precious time here. The runny nose is now so bad that it is

running down in his throat and the poor kid is coughing up a storm at night. He

tells me that he is feeling fine, but he would say that even if he was on his

death bed just to prevent a doctors visit, lol.

Zyrtec is a perscription allergy medicine. I have given him Benadryll before but

it really drugs him up and I can't bring myself to do that to him during the

daytime.

Can I find the remedies you talked about at a health food store?

Hi Jane

Sounds like he has an over active immune system. In other words, one that

reacts to harmless things as if they were harmful. Allergies are the result

of an immune system that is always on high alert. If I'm not mistaken heavy

metal toxicity is one of the causes of a immune system problem where the

immune system cannot relax.

Herbs to calm an overactive immune system are astragalus and marshmallow

root. They strengthen the immune system while calming it down. Apple cider

vinegar and honey can be used to cut down the mucous but this problem is

usually worse with food related allergies.

You should be able to use Zyrtec with the herbs, just take them at least 30

minutes apart. Check with doctor to be sure as you don't want one to

prevent the absorption of the other.

I think I would try a round of chelation even with allergies and take Zyrtec

(don't know what it is) or something if necessary. The metals may need to

be reduced before he can get better in which case putting it off may be

counter productive. However, see if someone who has had this problem gives

better advice as I can't say for sure.

You should be able to the herbs or something containing them at most HFS.

Unfortunately I " m not in the US. Many people talk about www.iherb.com so

maybe check there if you want to buy something online. One of my books

mentions BioAllers as a company that makes homeopathic remedies for

allergies. You might check into that company. But ask at the shop.

Some other ideas. Pollen count is apparently highest between 5 am and 10

am. Keep him inside if possible during this period. If you have the money

invest in an air filter for his room. Stay inside on windy days. Best

time to go outside is after rain.

I had allergies as a teenager and all medicines, prescription or otherwise

made me groggy. That is an unfortunate side effect of most allergy

medicine.

Thank you so much, Abby. I will check with our local health food store.

Otherwise I will order it online. It has been a little better the last few days.

I have noticed a pattern of it getting bad over the weekends (when people are

home and cutting their grass).

is extremely sensitive to meds and I have actually used the

Benadryll on the airplane to combat the jetlag when we go visit my parents in

Denmark.
