Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Janet, Claritin is available over the counter now. That always worked for me. Then there's plain ole sudafed (or generic), benadryl (they have non-drowsy formula). the generic sudafed (pseudoephedrine), is A LOT cheaper than Claritin though.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Janet, I've been taking Zyrtec ever since the surgery and all is well. Love, from Fl June, 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 I'd recommend over-the-counter Claritin (or Alavert, which is the same stuff but cheaper). You only have to take it once per day, and it doesn't make you drowsy. If your nose is still stuffy after the Claritin, add some generic Sudafed to the mix. Don't forget that antihistamines (Claritin) and decongestants (Sudafed) are two completely different meds--Sudafed won't help the allergy per se, just the stuffiness. If allergies are really kicking your butt, Benadryl is probably still the king of allergy meds, but you have to take it every 4 hours AND it makes you really sleepy (Benadryl is the main ingredient in most OTC sleeping pills).

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Do you think maybe the rash is a die off symptom? Or..........Sometimes canned coconut milk etc. has fillers in it for thickeners that they don't list on the can. Maybe they have an allergy to that. When I first started using the coconut oil (cooking and topically) I had this rash around my scalp by my forehead and my skin was red and blotchy in spots. This would tend to come and go. Sometimes it would even look like hives. I didn't notice but other people did. It went away after a short while and I have only used virgin/ high grade food coconut oil (sorry can't think of the term at the moment but you get what I am trying to say) If this person tried just the coconut oil for awhile and made sure it was organic/ virgin/food grade it would be interesting to see if it would still happen Maybe Bruce will see this post and give you his opinion. -------------- Original message -------------- I posted info on coconut oil to my LiveJournal blog & received the question below. Anyone have any expereince with allergies to coconut oil? I suggested it might not be a real allergy but a reaction to oxidized oil -- the infamous *catch* in the throat. But I thought I'd check here to see if anyone had any thoughts. Alobar Is there something that can be eaten with coconut oil to combat a mild allergy to it? If you have any ideas or advice, please tell me! My husband, sammyd, often cooks with coconut milk and coconut cream, generally the imported kind that comes in a can from the Oriental store, and we all love it and enjoy many of the benefits you've mentioned above. But he's mildly allergic, i.e. he can't use soap with coconut oil (or its derivaties) in, and after eating coconut-based foods several days in a row he gets a sort of rash like a light case of acne or prickly heat.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Coconut and especially coconut oil is considered hypoallergic because it rarely causes allergies. I believe that when people have a reaction to coconut it is almost always a cleansing reaction. I recommend that people reduce the amount they use and keep using it and gradually use more as their body adjusts to it. This way symptoms are reduced until the body adjusts and they can handle more without experiencing the reactions.

If you have any ideas or advice, please tell me! < I'm not qualified or experienced enough with VCO to say this, but I'm very familiar with detoxes, herx reactions and die-offs. I have recently gotten back into using VCO in conjunction with the No Grain Diet and am having sinus drainage and other symptoms that I can only explain this way- I think it is acting like a surfactant and washing out allergens out of my body. When allergens come out, it's the same reaction as being exposed outright. Just a thought. Daddybob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Hi Jeanie, I know you say she reacted to the yam allersode, but the hormonal picture is worth exploring, as that can be a marker whether it's the allersode or the other yam items. Wild yam is a natural hormone balancer for women that contains "diosgenin" , similar to progesterone. Blue cohosh, dong quai (dong "quei" on the matrix) and red clover ("trifolium pratense" on the matrix) are some other markers to look for with this, among others. What were the rest of her hormone readings? The "female problems" area of the nutritional screen will give clues as well as balance, as will the rest of the matrix. How's liver? How old is she? Is she menopausal? Early menopause? (or is this just an allergy to wild yam???- HA) Here's some additional info I had on file: Wild Yam or dioscorea contains the plant hormone diosgenin which is similar in structure to the adrenal hormone DHEA and the ovarian hormone progesterone. The plant hormone diosgenin has a balancing effect upon the body’s hormones similar to the effects of DHEA and progesterone. Wild yam can help to overcome the negative effects of declining levels of DHEA and progesterone that occur with aging. Natural plant hormones such as diosgenin are safer to take long term than are synthetic or animal forms of hormones. Wild yam can help those with fatigue, depression and loss of sex drive.Diosgenin can be converted into progesterone that very closely matches the molecular structure of the progesterone produced by our own bodies. Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus) has long been used in Europe to maintain a healthy menstrual cycle. Chaste Tree helps restore a normal estrogen-to-progesterone balance. It can not only ease, but with time, actually cu-- premenstrual syndrome, which has been linked to abnormally high levels of estrogen, especially if symptoms tend to disappear when menstruation begins. European herbalists also used it historically to treat fibroid tumors and other female complaints. Licorice is very useful in treating PMS and is believed to lower estrogen levels while raising progesterone levels. For menopause, it is thought that the estrogenic like activity of licorice is responsible for many of its beneficial effects. If it's hormonal, of course the usual bowel/kidney/liver program is advisable, along with endocrine tuning.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 The best I can explain to you is that Wild Yam (alr) meaning allergy may be a sensitivity or intolerance to that food OR it may be needed as it ids hormone disorders, acts on the umbillicus via the nervous system and for those who call things by the wrong name (similar but different to dyslexia). The only way to know which it is for your client is to test the item with the "Individual Reaction" button. Look to see if the Allergy number is below 40 suggesting a chronic situation or over 80 probable allergy frequencies. These are your "allergic" interpretations. A number between 40 - 80 is normally something they would want. How, fast they need it or how receptive they are to it depends on the other numbers on that panel.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Hello – I thought allergy was supposed to read 50 or below .. But you think it should be 40-80? Can you or someone confirm this with Bill or someone? My training was with Covington where I am pretty sure they said 50 or below.. Please let me know so we can be on the same page with Allergy info.. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Hi Maggie, The general reactive range, according to the longest term users I've grilled on this very question to gather a consensus, is that you can consider 60 or above as reactive, 40 or below as chronic, but personally I've seen the really low numbers and really high numbers much more immediate in meaning, often as a clue to an underlying emotional association that is a possible recurring or cyclic theme in their lives, especially the items that produce symptoms similar to the emotion that it is associated with, such as teary eyes and nasal congestion (crying syndrome) for grief, fever for anger, itching for anxiety and irritation, etc... Also, many "alr" s that are possible "good foods" react with significant allergic numbers, so that's something to bear in mind when interpreting the panel- they're worth individual reactions on. The most interesting trend I've found in working with the allersode reactions on people I see on a more regular basis is that their allersode panel will show their high reactive reds for that day, that I will then run ind. reactions to, which will show either really low #'s (such as 19-) or high #s (88+), to items they haven't been exposed to in long time, such as a food they intentionally avoid and don't enjoy, like tomatoes or cheese and foods they know they're allergic to. When they ask "why is that being reacted to when it never has before in other sessions and I haven't had any?", and we explore the emotional reactions to them, almost always the same emotional/situational theme it's associated with from the time the reaction was created (when the allersode was present, either in their gut being digested or pollen, during the time of an emotional upset) is occurring again in their life . It's always worth exploring that part of the picture too, along with just desensitization. You can type that allersode into the unconscious reactivity panel "disease type" and run the trauma program with that allersode added to "the mix" so to speak and look for the age it's related to, and go from there.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 has trouble with back of the throat stuff. It is a peekaboo thing and I suspect allergy. I don't know though if it is fluoride so we get the fluoride filtered out first from the water, then remove eggs as that is the likely suspect and he is too young for the skin test. I am taking on a new character flaw, calming down, one thing at a time. With that said, in anyone's reading have you ever heard of allergens removing toxins because the body is so busy expelling the offending allergen that it pushes nasties out too? I swear I saw that in with gluten but the problem is I think it still shot up into his head and wreaked havoc also. He is on 200 IUs of soy E today and is doing marvelous. These allergies puzzle me. Soy seems to be sort of a hare of the dog that bit him thing but I only use it in E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
