Asthma- Long reply, Beware if you are busy!

[Guest guest]

Hi Again, Kim!

 

You sure do have strong allergies and it may well help your asthma

to gain some control over your allergies.

 

First, it is clear you know of your enviromental allergies but have

you ever been tested for food allergies by blood draw? The back skin

prick test only shows one form of allergies (I cant remember the

specific name of the form there is something like IGg and IGa but I

may have the acronyms wrong) which often can overlook most food

allergies as they tend to be the other type more commonly. Blood

draw can in many cases give more complete information along with

skin prick. Neither test stands well alone.

 

Our allergist also explained that the effect of allergies tends to

accumulate. The key is to eliminate as many allergins as possible

and then there tends to be less reaction when unavoidable allergins

are encountered. So finding and eliminating food allergies was an

imporant key for us.

 

If you have and identified food allergies then that is good info to

know. If you havent had a blood draw test there is a good

possibility given the severity of your environmental alleriges, you

may well suffer from them as well and knowing which ones can be key.

Food allergy reactions are not always immediate and can occur in the

body up to 3 days following ingestion so sometimes it is tricky to

identify if you have them.

 

There are some two self tests you can do your self at home to test

if and which food allergies you have. Let me know if you are

interested in them and I will post the info. There is no equipment

needed other than a stopwatch and paper and pencil.

 

There is so much I could write about our journey into learning about

treating and managing our allergies and asthma but I am leary I will

make this post too long. I live in a foreign country where I dont

speak the language so I tend to get wordy in email lists. Forgive me

if I am offensive.

 

I will try to be brief.

 

Because asthma can be so affected by allergies and allergies are an

immune sytem issue we found it to be so important to strenthen the

immune system. We did that in a variety of ways but prehaps you may

want to consider getting advice on obtaining an exceptionally high

quality form of Vitamin C. Not all Vit C are equal and you will want

a high quality one and prehaps consider sustained release. Maybe you

already have a good one. In a reputable book I love

called, " Perscription for Nutritional Healing " Balch and Balch

writes, " Vit C works synergistically with both Vit E and beta-

carotine (meaning each enhances the effectiveness of the other)

and " Vit C should be taken in divided doses, twice daily. Esterfied

vit C- (ester-c) is a remarkable form of Vit C... which enters the

bloodstream 4 times faster than standard vit c. "

 

So, I could write lots more regarding strengthening the immune

system but in effort to be brief I would encourage you to research

ways to stengthen the immune system. Let me know if you have more

questions on this area.

 

Once the immune system is strengthened you may find as we did some

automatic decrease in allergies and hense secretion.

 

We have used lots of natural antihistimines and have had wonderful

results with them. First discover and eliminate all food allergins!

Next you can eat lots of foods that have natual antihistamines like

pineapples, and thyme. The stinging nettle has alot of good research

on it and it is prehaps my most effective herb for asthma/allergies

for both my son and I (yes, I use it with my 11 year old son). Here

is what James Duke, Phd writes about stinging nettle in , " The Green

Pharmacy " " Four hundred years ago, British herbalist Nicholas

Culpeper claimed that nettle roots or leaves, used in juice or tea

were safe and sure medicines to open the pipes and passages of the

lungs. " Also Duke writes, " For many years, Austrailians have viewed

nettle as a good treatment for asthma (side note Austrailia is

famous for its battle with asthma) but Americans didnt catch on

until 5 years ago when a scientific study was published showing

nettle as a potent antihistmine. Now nettle is increasingly

recommended for hay fever and asthma. " Bach and Bach also

write, " Nettle reduces inflamation and is a powerful antioxidant

that helps prevent free radical damage and aids in preventing

allergy attacks. "

 

One thought that enters my mind Kim is prehaps it is important to

look at why you are experiencing such severe allergy and asthma

attacks. Something is obviously irritating your system. When our

allergies and asthma were so severe we also had some other troubling

symptoms. Several doctors and a year or two later and we finally

found out we had aluminum poisioning from cooking off of 10 year old

aluminum pans. That was what was the greatest toxin to our bodies

and wrecked havoc on our immune system. Have you been evaluated for

heavy metal toxicity? Do you have other symptoms besides asthma and

allergies? If so you might want to have metal toxicity evaluated.

There is a surprisingly high number of people with mercury

poisioning. There is a test out you can order yourself if your

Doctor isnt approachable about it.

 

I could blab more but I am going to recap and stop!

1- check for food allergies

2- strengthen immune system- Yikes I never even talked about

detoxing. The book I mentioned Perscription for... has a good

section on it and there is also a book called, the Liver Cleansing

Diet by a female author Cabott maybe??? Detoxing doesnt have to be

expensive! I benefitted greatly from detoxing. If you do it make

sure you drink TONS of water cause you are releaseing toxins and

they need to be flushed out or you will be prone to headaches.

3- consider foods with antinfamatory properties/ antihistamines. I

dont have research on watermellon but I notice an effect on my sinus

immediately after eating a couple of slices. Again pineapple with

its bromelin is a good one as long as you are not allergic to

pineapple.

4-Consider high quality vit c taken with vit e and betacarotine- if

you get this in a multivitamine you probably wont get the best

quality.

5- attempt to find out what is weakened your immune system. Is it an

old virus that is still lingering- is it heavy metal poisoning?

6- make sure you are doing what you can to get proper sleep (even if

it is propped up on pillows, proper exercise, proper food, and

keeping stress low to keep any further comprimise to your immune

system.

 

 

Ok, if I havent put you to sleep yet with my long winded response

then you are really impressive,LOL! I am going to close this but

feel free to let me know if you want follow up on any of these

areas.

 

Love in Christ,

Cindy

WOW!! I must say I am impressed and honored that you went through

all the trouble posting all this information! I do not have any food

allergies that I know of...oh my gosh, I'd be devastated, lol.

 

I've had asthma/allergies all my life. But it has never been this

severe. About two years ago, Christmas Eve to be exact, I had a

severe attack. The problem was the dog I got that I thought I could

live with (animal lover). Up until that day, my allergy to the dog

was minor. I had him since September of that year. I guess it was a

combination of the xmas tree and the dog that set off such a severe

reaction. I ended up in the hospital ventilated.

 

I have since gotten rid of the dog, but my asthma has not been the

same since, it has in fact, gotten progressively worse. It is like

I've never really recovered from that episode. Now, what used to be

minor allergies, turns out to be catastrophic. Perhaps a cleanse is

exactly what I need. I will also be giving the stinging nettle a go.

 

I will be reading your post more in depth when I have a bit more

time. Thank you bunches for the info.

 

Take care

Kim

Just a side note for all you animal lovers with allergies, I heard

many years ago about a breed of dog called Basenji, which supposedly

does not have normal dog fur and does not cause allergic

reactions....also I have heard of a domestic cat with similar

properties but cannot remmeber the breeding atm.....just a thought

worth checking out.

My grandmother had a poodle when I was younger. They are supposed to be

a breed of dog that has a very low dander and a different type of hair for

allergy sufferers. I suffered at her house so much. Every weekend my parents

sent me over there…every weekend they ended up having to pick me up

early. It was a nightmare for me.

That's because it is not the animal's hair, it is their dander that is the allergen. Doesn't matter what kind of hair they have.

Hi Cindy,

 

I'd love to know about these two self tests. It seems I'm having

increasing food sensitivities also, but am not always sure exactly

what they are.

 

Thanks!
