Happens to me this time of the year... I'm allergic to something

blooming or sporing (is that a word?!) -- lasts a couple to three

weeks, and then it's generally gone. I think it's the pines... ??

Anyway, try just straight saline in the nose, it seems to soothe a

bit and relieve the itching for a while anyway...

Hi, !

Your son is probably experiencing allergies. It is that time of the year. You

might want to try Claritin and see if that helps. We all live on the stuff, and

it really makes a difference. However, not the Claritin D, just regular

Claritin.

My 5 yr old has " itchy nose " . It is not running, it is

not rashy, it just itches MOST of the time. He is

itching it on the couch floor and with his fingernails.

What the heck could cause this? It has been going on

for two weeks now.

aaaaargggggghhhhhh - don't take drugs for it - so, his nose itches. If

something more serious and uncomfortable develops see a homeopath. You

aren't doing your child or self any favors by taking these drugs.

I know you were trying to help, but this is not how to get to health

Dont know what is causing it but go get a homeopathic remedy called sulphur

it is for rashes that itch and ooze. worse from water. Boerke and taffel,

b & t, find it at a health food store. It will do no harm, and I've seen it

work wonders on itchy rashes.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

You don't just use any remedy with a rash - it can also suppress it just

like a drug. It isn't automatically sulphur.

For how to use homeopathy read my article

http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/homeo.htm

There could be a thousand different remedies that would cure the rash but

to treat skin conditions is VERY tricky. You don't want to do it wrong and

suppress it. The quality homeopaths I know and study with are VERY VERY

careful when dealing with a rash and often just wait and see as that is the

disturbance coming OUT OF YOUR BODY.

Yes, IT CAN DO HARM. Homeopathic remedies are non-toxic in the 'drug' sort

of way, but can have deep effects on the vital force and you can suppress a

condition with homeopathy the same as you can with a drug or an herb.

It may have worked wonders on your rash in the past as it suppressed it.

Stopping symptoms does NOT mean a cure. It just means you have stopped the

body's way of dissipating a disturbance and are forcing it to find another

way and driving the disturbance deeper.

Might not show up for awhile, but it will.

Everyone has got to get over the need or desire to stop symptoms -

sometimes you have to have put up with uncomfortable things to get over

them. You don't have to stop everything and it is NOT good to stop

everything

Has anyone tried the product Threelac for trying to

get rid of their excess yeast problem. You know the

morning saliva test, when you spit in a glass and if

the spit stays on top of the glass you really don't

have a yeast problem, but if your spit forms legs and

stretches toward the bottom of the glass, then you do

have excess yeast.

Has anyone ever had the yeast problem doing the glass

test, then done some treatments and had it go away?

Let me know.

Just trying to get rid of as much yeast as I can, so

the LDN will work better for me and to stop the

progression of my MS.

[Guest guest]

, You might go to www.gettingbettertogether.net and ask. Several have tried different things. Bren knows alot. Personally, diet is the only sure thing for me, and it's really hard! I still use LDN. Marcie keith kowalis <wescokk@...> wrote: Has anyone tried the product

I did the spit test and it indicated that I did not have a yeast

problem. Then my physician prescribed a stool test. The stool test

indicated that I had Candida something, a yest. The stool test

indicates the spit test is inaccurate and likely not worth the effort.

Based on the test results I was prescribed two weeks of diflucan (sp?)

and ADP (a supplement). I've been taking the ADP for 3 or 4 months

now. I've recently had another stool test and will report the data

when it is available.

Also, if your tongue is coated with a white color, chances are it's yeast. Sometimes mine is pretty pink, and other times not.

Good question..I really don't know but I would say NO. Check out MD site and see if you get the answer and let us know. I know my brother is allergic to bee stings...I should ask him.

If someone is allergic to honey - would they be allergic to bee stings?When I asked a friend, this is what they said ...I'm not sure but most likely because the honey wll still be in the bee's stinger after it has pollinated. so i guess she would be

[Guest guest]

I asked my son's doctor that question and he said no. but what if the honey is still in the stinger and the bee stings you ?. I'm not to sure if its the honey my son is allergic to but the way he swelled up with the hives, I wanted to rush him to the hospital. it was that bad. the benadryl worked but they came back even worse later. the doctor said hives can keep coming back for up to two weeks. that I need to keep checking his tongue to see if its swollen and if he's breathing OK. my son is also high tolerance to pain and he doesn't tell me if he's feeling sick or hurt. I have to know the same way you would have to know when an infant is sick. and if I ask him if he's breathing OK, with him its either he's breathing or not. If he's having a hard time he won't say !. I have to work with words and ask that same question many different ways. **** are you breathing OK ?, is it harder

for you to breath ?, does anything hurt when you take a deep breath ?, do you have to breath harder then you normally would?, does your throat hurt ?, does your throat feel different ? then I get, yes, it feels different like my throat is closing and leaving me only a tiny space to swallow. Now I'm getting someplace with that and have to continue to ask questions like that to find out how he is and pull the information from him. he doesn't know how to explain it to me so he just don't. Does this happen with you ?.CyberMommyLJA@... wrote: I'm allergic to bees but not to honey, go figure.Barbara"We learned more from a three minute record than we ever learned in school" Bruce Springsteen, No Surrender

In our instance, my son is hyper-sensitive to insect bites and stings,

but is fine with eating honey.

Dear Rose,

I was sorry to hear about your son's reaction to a bee sting. But I don't think you have to worry that it's due to an allergy to honey. There is no honey in a bee's stinger. There might be venom -- but honey is made by a complex process that doesn't involve its stinger. Here's a description of the process from the East Lansing Journal:

Honeybees use nectar to make honey. Nectar is almost 80% water with some complex sugars. In fact, if you have ever pulled a honeysuckle blossom out of its stem, nectar is the clear liquid that drops from the end of the blossom. In North America, bees get nectar from flowers like clovers, dandelions, berry bushes and fruit tree blossoms. They use their long, tubelike tongues like straws to suck the nectar out of the flowers and they store it in their "honey stomachs". Bees actually have two stomachs, their honey stomach which they use like a nectar backpack and their regular stomach. The honey stomach holds almost 70 mg of nectar and when full, it weighs almost as much as the bee does. Honeybees must visit between 100 and 1500 flowers in order to fill their honeystomachs.

The honeybees return to the hive and pass the nectar onto other worker bees. These bees suck the nectar from the honeybee's stomach through their mouths. These "house bees" "chew" the nectar for about half an hour. During this time, enzymes are breaking the complex sugars in the nectar into simple sugars so that it is both more digestible for the bees and less likely to be attacked by bacteria while it is stored within the hive. The bees then spread the nectar throughout the honeycombs where water evaporates from it, making it a thicker syrup. The bees make the nectar dry even faster by fanning it with their wings. Once the honey is gooey enough, the bees seal off the cell of the honeycomb with a plug of wax. The honey is stored until it is eaten. In one year, a colony of bees eats between 120 and 200 pounds of honey.

Your question was not really "off topic" because you mentioned in connection with your son's allergic reaction that he doesn't tell you when he is feeling bad. My son (21 years old!) still doesn't tell us he is feeling bad, unless we notice that his behavior is unusual and we ask him how he's feeling. I wonder if this is an Asperger trait.

It's good that you watch your son so carefully and ask him questions about his health. Hope his reaction disappears soon, if it hasn't already!

Jill
