Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 Homeopathy can clear the allergies; not a remedy you buy in the store, but working with a classical homeopath to find the right remedy. Another thing you might try is NAET. It completely clears the allergies in some people (but not all people) and it's non-invasive. Here's the NAET website: http://www.naet.com Freeze-dried nettle capsules have been shown to relieve symptoms of allergies and hay fever. Nettle is also an excellent tonic during pregnancy.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Dehydration is associated with ashtma and the histamine respons (histamine helps regulate water in the body). KT is a diuretic and is therefore dehydrating. Since most of us are dehydrated, drinking KT will make you more dehydrated and may provoke an asthma attack if you are inclined that way. See www.watercure2.com and www.watercure.com If this ever happens again, just drink more water immediately and take a little salt, preferably unrefined sea salt. My asthma went away when I drank more water and used Celtic Sea Salt. Additionally, Koch, M.D. described " retracing symptoms " in his medical research papers. Retracing symptoms happen when symptoms of a previous illness flare and then recede. Has your brother had previous symptoms of asthma?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hi - I'm sorry to hear of your brother's experience. Yes, it does sound like an allergic reaction. Is your brother sensitive to MSG, by any chance? I heard from someone that lacto-fermented and other naturally fermented foods might cause reactions in people who are very sensitive to MSG (I asked about it on this list, and if you search the archives using " MSG " as your search term, you can review the thread). It didn't sound like anyone had direct experience with this, but I thought I'd suggest it as a possibility. Hope you find answers soon!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Thank you, for your response, I do believe there are other underlying reasons for his reactions, I have given them the information I have received from this group, he says he will KT another try. noric1989 <noric1989@...> wrote: Hi - I'm sorry to hear of your brother's experience.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi, Carol. I experienced the same problem. From a previous surgery I knew I was allergic to Tegaderm, the popular tape used to place over stitches, as it killed my skin and flaked it off in the areas it was used. Therefore, my Band doctor purposefully used a different tape on me - the one that feels like cotton and has perforations in the roll. We thought it would be safe, but I still had a contact dermatitis abrasion from it. The areas under the tape became red and itchy, and the skin bubbled. A few of the areas actually oozed a white fluid (non-infectious). I never took any medication for it, though Benedryl was recommended to me as well. (I'm the type you have to force to take medicine for a headache even.) I felt like I was pregnant all over again walking around itching my stomach, but it went away in about 2 weeks and the areas today (5 weeks out from surgery) are clean and back to normal with no scarring. I did leave my tape on a day longer than it was necessary...just because I wanted to be careful in not removing the steri-strips along with it. Perhaps you left your tape on longer this time than last, allowing for additional irritation and giving a bigger reaction as a result. I had this cotton tape on my skin before covering needle injections (which only stay on for a few minutes) and it never had given me any indication I was allergic to it. Hang in there!

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi D. I am like you as far as not liking to take medicine. I've only used the Bendryl around three times so far. The itching comes a goes, but is very irritating. Each wound is surrounded by a large red area that gets warm and itchy. I've been washing the area daily. I don't think I have stitches. The tape is the kind that just covers over the cut and sticks to your skin until it wears off. I do some rubbing with the wash cloth in the shower to speed up the process. I will see the doc again on Wed. Thank you for your response. I am more hopeful that it will clear up soon. Carol > > Hi, Carol. > > I experienced the same problem.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi, Carol - you didn't mention if you have any tape or bandaids on the wounds, but - if so - take them off and wash off the residual adhesive well. If any remains, the allergic reactions will continue. You could also be sensitive to the brown antiseptic used. You should be able to take a good shower by now -we want our patients to have a daily shower, with anti-bacterial soap and a quick washing of all wounds, then specific wound care - so you can get all the adhesive and brown antiseptic off. If your doc has said " no showers " please ask him specifically about this. It really is fine. Hope you're better soon!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hi Sandy, There are no badaids or tape, but the glue that they use to seal the wounds. I have been able to shower and the glues is only covering the cuts and a lot less on the surrounding skin. The rash has been much better. Thanks so much.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hi, I developed allergies to many medications after repeated use of Ciprodex ear drops. Let the doctor know and ask for a different class of antibiotics, that helped me. I also developed multiple chemical allergies from the overuse of antibiotics.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 My daughter had an allergic reaction to something last night. During the night she got itchy and welts all over. It wasn't life threatening though, just uncomfortable. Is there a way to stop the reaction without resorting to something like benadryl?

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I never experienced anything of this type, but my first try would be to start downing coconut oil and also putting it on the skin. I also have DMSO that I would combine for deeper penetration of the oil, both internally and externally. This has cleared fungus from my foot topically applied. Do you know yet what she reacted to? Maybe you can figure out what to do based on that knowledge. Particularly what to avoid. ________________________________ From: Tim and <tacbed@...> My daughter had an allergic reaction to something last night.
