benadryl

[Guest guest]

Dear Nelly,

In the US, benadryl is an over the counter anti-histamine used for colds

and allergies.

Hey, thanks Judy! I didn't know Benadryl could help motion

sickness. I'll try it next instead of that more expensive liquid

stuff I have to use!!

> I'm a great believer in Benadryl or it's cheaper generic

equivalents. I take half of one myself every night, and when Dan has

sleep problems (rarely anymore) I give him a whole one. Also great

for motion sickness, which he is troubled by. And last but not

least, great for hay fever if you don't mind getting a bit sleepy!

Sara,

I am looking at my bottle of Children's benadryl. It says Dye-free,

sugar-free, and alcohol free. Of course it is bubble gum flavor so it has

something flavoring it. Lets see- inactive ingredients would be -

carboxymethylcellulose sodium, citric acid, flavor, glycerin, purified water,

saccharin, sodium benzoate, sodium citrate, and sorbitol solution.

SACCHARINE AND SORBITAL ARE SWEETNERS AND NO-NO'S FOR SOME PEOPLE. Sodium

citrate is acidic so toothbrushing after or mouoth rinsing with water is a

good thing after that. Sounds good otherwise.

Sara - lovely lemonade for all

Not Saul:) But the first question was in general I think.. so.... personally, if

it was me, I wouldn't take any over the counter anti-itch medications at all. It

might give you relief from the itch, but it will only be suppressing your

symptoms and adding to your toxic load in the long run. Temporary relief with

long term loss in my opinion. Have you tried protease? It really helped me to

ease the itch. Saul has a list of things that can ease the itch without

interfereing with the healing process.

Saul,

What about the benadryl for the rash. I read you weren't suppose to

take an antihistamine before doing a sauna. Do you know why? Can

you take it safely after the sauna?

i have a good feeling about urine 'therapy' (therapy makes it sound more

dignified) for the itch

urine contains some steroid hormones. nature's benadryl

try a small patch so if it doesn't work you won't do more damage

benadryl might work, but then you are going to have to use it for a long

time to come if the itching keeps coming back every time you use the ozone

another suggestion i have is fir sauna.

i start to itch alot whenever i begin to perspire. i don't perspire enough

so the itching doesn't go away

doing a fir sauna releases tons of sweat. literally i am dripping wet from

head to toe after a session and no itch at all. i do begin to itch a little

bit in the beginning of the sauna session, but when the sweating starts to

get copious all the itching goes away and i get a great feeling of relief

and detoxification.

i am guessing that for people with endocrine problems/body temp problems the

steam sauna might not be sufficient to induce copious sweating.

there is a guy jim on this list who has a method of using two fir lamps in a

closet or small bathroom

or maybe you could even use it in your tent

there is also a guy in canada who i bought my fir sauna from who sells the

standalone fir lamps for a good price. something like 120 each.

also clay baths might help too by drawing the toxins out that are in or

under the skin or lymph

those are the three things i would do if in your situation

good luck

oh the other things i would try are msm, egg yolks, and adding alot of fat

into my diet to help bind the poison. i don't know if this would be

counterproductive to what ozone is doing, have to ask saul about that

sulfur is a skin nutrient

HI Arthur,

You know I had this really great plan. I was going to get a UTI

which would allow me to wet the bed while still sleeping. Then I

could be in " therapy " all night long, and just like magic, I would

awaken rash free! But I keep doing vaginal insufflation and that has

simply dashed all hopes of a UTI and I really meant to just do

the " therapy " on my own, but it keeps slipping my mind!

But....on the other hand, I sure like the MSM idea. Reason

being...I've been doing ozone now for 6 weeks and during that time we

came down with some kind of cold thing. I started using my nebulizer

with a mixture of CS and MSM and I noticed the itch was getting

better, but I didn't know if it was just time or because of the MSM.

Now looking back it might have been because of the MSM. Since I got

over the cold thing I quit using the nebulizer and the rash is much

more itchy. Will give it a try.

And, yes, Sherri-Lee I was so miserable after the last sauna on

Monday, I was just pouring out the protease in my hand and swallowing

them. Don't even know how many I took. They seem to help a little.

I've also got some emu oil ordered, but it hasn't come in. I did get

some aveeno, which a lady on Ozonetherapy suggested, and I find that

really does help. Don't much care if it is an over the counter

medication, I needed some sleep!!!

Taking the advice of a notice posted in this group. I have taken

benedryl before taking the MTX for the last two weeks. It did help

with the nausea tremendously. I know it may not be for every one but

it did help me. I also take benedryl as a sleeping sometimes.

Thanks for the advice!!

Hi Maraika, (sorry for the slow reply, have been a bit yuk last few

days) Thanks for the timely reminder, for me and anyone else. I

will keep my med list on me now though just in case as that seems my

new life and thats a good idea as you never know. I am allergic to

penicillin, so should wear a bracelet or something too. Will look

into that. I did give the Rhuemy my full list including supps and

I've only gone to one doctor and one chemist for the last 10 years

so they are familiar with me. My chemist is brilliant and usually

gives me a printed information sheet on anything new. My MTX info

was 6 pages long. He goes through everything with me. Missed

telling me that panadeine forte was a narcotic though!! I do have

to be careful with the Zoloft i take so i shouldn't have been so

naive, so thank you for the gentle nudge. I know the chemist would

check my records for me first to see if ok, but I do need to do my

own research hey!

I checked out that drug site and a few others, as I have been a lot

in the last month. They do appear to have some contradictions

concerning Benadryl with Zoloft. Some say ok, some say better not

to. (as bad as alcohol advice). I have been doing a lot of

research, but am still in the dark a bit. I know I cannot take any

otc cold and flu medications. All information on them say that it

shouldn't mix with the Zoloft, well with me they certainly do. I

pass out. The active incredient in Benadryl is different to those.

But I am still not sure. I have taken allergy meds and demezin

before for my hayfever with no bad affects so maybe they are the

same. I don't need it yet for the nausea as I can cope, but maybe

down the track and I will ensure that I ask the chemist to check.

Thanks for your concern.

Janice

PS I hope you and your family are safe in these horrible fires and

not getting smoked out.

[Guest guest]

is what gets rid of most headaches for me and until I find out if I am having

allergic reaction

to the filler in LDN or something else going on in my life will have to take it

but curious, has anyone found it to be contraindicated in anyway with LDN, like

does one

lower and the other raise the immune system.......
