Re: pollen causing aggression???

[Guest guest]

Our experience with seasonal allergies was as follows. Both my son and I at the

beginning of chelation suffered terribly from seasonal allergies. Quercetin was

always very helpful with the seeming pollen related allergies. As chelation has

progressed this is less of an issue. Also, we noticed that when we partake of

any allergenic foods (foods we tested with Igg allergies for) - things like

gluten, dairy or soy, that this seemed to set off the immune response, and then

seasonal sllergies seem to be only that much worse. And by strictly avoiding

foods we react to, this seemed to help with seasonal allergies. We made this

connection after reading Bock's book - where he explains the connection

and the immune response. This year, which is purported to be the worst allergy

year in quite some time, neither my son nor I have any seasonal allergies, for

the first time ever. In our experience it had nothing to do with yeast etc.

Perhaps by reviewing diet etc, this might help in your situation with your son.

Perhaps there is something in his diet or environment (beyond the pollen) which

is setting off his immune response and causing the aggressive behavior. I know

when my son eats something he reacts to or is exposed to some toxin he reacts

badly, his whole system gets out of wack and then his behavior declines

accordingly.

Just my two cents. Hope this helps.

For what it's worth, my " seasonal allergies " and cat allergies completely

disappeared when I stopped eating dairy products. However, they did reappear

when I started chelating, but not as bad as they were before.

I moved from NJ to NC to TN in my life. Hear ya on the yellow crap ...

For allergies: find a bee keeper in the local area where you live and buy/eat

his honey on a regular basis (avoid honey for infants). The bees which are

indigenous to your particular city/town/county will have the right " antidote " ,

interestingly.

I don't know if that will help you. Problem is that honey is something like a

sugar and you'll have to weigh that against any other dietary balancing issues

you have with yeast, etc. There may be homepathic alternatives that are similar

to this, but involve herbs/flowers/plants that are grown in your

city/town/county.

Also, note that there's a psychological theory that children integrate around

their birthday and disintegrate around their half-birthday. It may have

something to do with the way the brain grows and restructures, I cannot remember

and do not own the book (it was on a shelf in an occupational therapist's office

.... she was my son's OT for sensory stuff). During disintegration, it is as if

they must re-learn everything that they had already learned. We get that every

fall with my son, and I just don't know if it's the stuff in the air or his

" disintegration " . If your child's birthday is in the fall, you may want to

research this option.

I began noticing this year that when my son went outside (whatever time in the

day that was, which could vary by the day) he would come inside aggressive and

emotional, with high anxiety and fears. Then he would be fine the next morning,

just for it to all start back up again. We noticed that this started when the

weather got nice. Well, we have corrected the problem with a technology called

BioVeda BAX3000!! When we had him tested (a form of treatment/testing using

biofeedback, homeopathy, NAET...but all in a digitized laser treatment

technology using stress reduction!!) he showed positive for various trees and

plants, had a genetic predisposition to flowers and a sensitivity to feathers

(he wears a down vest outside in the spring) among many others. After one

treatment, they are all gone! GONE!! I posted more of our experiences in the

past, if you do a search in the posts. I HIGHLY recommend this painless and

QUICK form of treatment for ALL of our kids. It's been a big piece of the

puzzle for us.
