Re: allergies

[Guest guest]

My 11 year old daughter has never had a problem with allergies. She has

always been extremely healthy for a child with maybe only an occasional cold

but never enough to keep her home from school or anything. Thinking back

though the only strange thing that I can think of is that the last time she

had chicken pox (she had them 2-3 times, we think, from the time she was

18months old till she was 24months old) she came down with a really bad mouth

infection where her gums swelled over her teeth and bled and as a result her

chin got an infection also. Anyway after that she has always been prone to

getting fever blisters and mouth sore very easily. I have always heard that

fever blister were a result of something being out of whack with your system

but I don't know. When I questioned the doctor about this (a year before

this episode with CU) he just recommended a tooth paste for cold sores. Does

anybody have any input about fever blisters or mouth sores. Right now I am

just keeping a list of things to check into when we go back to the doctor

this summer.

Hi ,

clearly it was stress... LOL. I shouldn't laugh because I know how

your daughter has suffered. But, those that are not informed will say

things that are sometimes truely remakable. I have a handicapped

child born with Down Syndrome. I can't tell you the things that have

been said to me about his genetic defect. I once had a friend, who'se

mother in law died in a terrible fire. She said to me... " it was the

best thing, because she wanted to be cremated anyway. " arg.... takes

all kinds I guess. Anyway, know that I've got your daughter in my

thoughts and prayers. I hate to see the little ones suffer.

Thank you but sometimes I think they thought it was all in my head until

they saw Alena with a massive load of hives and angioedema. She looked like

a giant blown-up red/purple balloon. THEN they believed me!! lol Although

they couldn't explain it they at least witnessed it. Oh well I guess we all

learn as we go. Best Wishes~

I'm curious? How many of you have dealt with chronic allergies before your hives ever appeared? I've been dealing with sinus problems and asthma as long as I can remember.

Aside from gallstones I never had a single problem with health before this.

It was though determined that I am allergic to tetnus as an infant.

[Guest guest]

Never alergic to anything. Once had a small reaction to latex paint

from SEARS. guess i shouldn't have spilled it on my head....

Dear Donna

Did you see my posting the other day about liquorice? I read an article in

Woman magazine this week that tells about a woman who got repeated mouth

ulcers, and used liquorice tablets bought from health food stores, which she

says made a tremendous difference. Liquorice is one of the most important

herbs in traditional Chinese medicine, and produces a soothing coating agent

which is why is works so well for mouth ulcers. It also is " equally useful "

for stomach ulcers and stomach inflammation as it kills the bacteria

H-pylori. It says that it is important to use liquorice which has had

glycyrrhizin removed, as this may increase blood pressure and cause fluid

retention. Best wishes, Carol

I have had sinus problems and allergies forever.

[Guest guest]

No. Allergy to aspirin showed up after hives, so did allergy to all NSAIDs

and Sulfa.

[Guest guest]

We just moved to North Carolina and my 4 year old son started to have a constant runny nose. We took him for allergy testing and it turns out he has almost every pollen allergy know. I was talking to a few people that moved down here a few years ago, when I told them about my son, they laughed at me, and said you dont know about the honey? So I replied, What about the honey, my son doesn't eat honey. They said "No,NO he has to eat the honey from a local bee hive, that will help him to build immunity to the local pollen. They said that they both had really bad allergies when they came down and now it was under control. So we are going to give it a go and see what happens. All The Best, LouThanks, Lou. I should try that, too. I've been noticing something similar, but which is not out and out allergies. Now the question is, where does one get local NY honey? Urk!Mara

[Guest guest]

Hey Mara,

I had the same question regarding where in heavens name would I get

local NYC honey? As it is important to eat honey that is within your

area that you live in. I am unsure if you live in NYC but if you ever

get to the farmers market in Union Square the honey guy from Berkshire

Berries has " NYC Rooftop Honey " it's expensive though. Small bottle

$15! My husband and I feel desperate enough so we got 2 bottles.

Although, I cannot eat too much of it due to Candida.

I wonder how much I would need for it to be useful?

My hubby eats a tablespoon everyday. I never asked what is the

correct dosage?

And in general I would tend to think it's better to eat it before

allergy season starts? Wouldn't that be the way our immune system

would be prepared? Does the honey actually stop the allergies when we

are in the midst of it?

Just some questions...

I think you can order it online..

My dad's bee farmer friend said it should be within 50 miles to make sure the honey has the pollen from the same type of plants where you live. Hope it works for you!!
