Re: Glutathione Environmentalist-allergy

[Guest guest]

This is a very interesting discussion, and this is part of the reason why I

thought trying

different hormone supplements would be dicey. There are so many working in a

delicate

dance.....

As an allergic person, I will try to explain my point of view on this. I really

think they are

related, not separate, at least for those of us with the genetic susceptibility

for allergies. I

had a very high fever that discolored my teeth between the ages of 2 and 3,

according to

the dentist. At age 2 & 1/2 I was diagnosed with " infectious asthma " . Now what

would do

those 2 things at that age? Valley Fever, would, and I lived in an area where it

is endemic.

It is a fungal disease. Over the course of my childhood, the things that caused

me

significant illness were: chronic, debilitating asthma (for which I recieved

standard

treatment, which was not terribly effective), swimmer's ear (another fungal

inf.), athlete's

foot (ditto), developed depression at age 11 (today my depression is fungally

caused).

I tend to become allergic to stuff I get over-exposed to over the course af a

few years. As

my problems surly overlap, I am convinced that the alleriges are truly caused by

fungal

infection hyjacking my immune system.

The antigen drops I take get my body to " back off " from the severe reactions, by

getting it

used to tiny amounts of the offending substances, which is helping me with my

allergies.

The antifungals are the thing I take that has made the MOST difference in how I

feel (which

was definately worse at first from the die off), and is continuing to do so in

my situation

(which is still some mold somewhere in the home, I am still on a search and

destroy

mission).

The re-exposure to mold is of course continuing to make me sick, and is throwing

a

monkeywrench in my allergy treatment plan, but things are improving around here.

My latest find was some black mold in my coffeemaker water supply, I was

reacting to that

in the kitchen. Got a new coffeemaker.....and hoping that was the whole problem

with the

kitchen, while not holding my breath.

,

Fascinating. Thanks for the details. It's good to know there are

others out there with the same dedication to the " search and

destroy " mission. LOL

Last year,a clinical researcher sent me a research paper which

asserts that illnesses (bacterial) suffered at early ages can cause

symptoms as diverse as memory/cognitive problems later in life after

an unusual stress is subsequently experienced. She has diagnosed

neurtoxicity in my children. The original infection could have

been before birth, or as neonates even. They have become extremely

sensitive to mold and other things. According to this article's

line of thinking, it is the early illness which alters development,

making the body suseptible to effects of an injury later in life.

These experiments were done on rats.

I wouldn't be surprised to find a paper that showed that fungal

infections can alter early childhood development just as bacterial

infections appear to.

As for hormones, a friend of mine who is very smart and knowledgable

experimented with do-it-yourself hormone treatment to delay

menopause, along with a group of intelligient women and they all ran

into terrible problems...

It is very helpful to hear your comparison of the two approaches to

treating mold sensitivities. I love the word " hijacked " . From my

point of view they do seem loosely related: allergy shots vs.

antifungals. I did not choose the shot approach although multiple

mold allergies were detected. Avoidance, short term antifungals,

high protein/low grain diet as well as very good quality home-made

kefir seem to be helping alot but there is always the specter of

being reexposed.
