I have used Xiao Feng San on a boxer for itching paws, folliculitis/skin

irritation. It worked very well. Other formulas used have been Maciocia's

Benefit the Sinew for hip dysplasia, and other trauma related injuries and

with different dogs but they work really well.

Hi Howard,

 

just a few thoughts that may help -

in my experience allergic dogs usually become more allergic unless

the root is dealt with as well as the symptoms. For most animals, at

least a component of the imbalance is due to poor unwholesome

nutrition. Look into feeding your dog a more natural (fresh-food

based) diet if possible. That is, cut out all processed foods and

all additives. There is loads of information on the web about

natural feeding, but keep sensible and try to follow what nature

intended. general rules like variety, in season, local, organic, etc

are as valid for dogs as for people. If this is not practical ask

around for the very best, most wholesome brands of premium dog foods

available - make sure they are free of all additives. Add fresh food

to this whenever possible. If there are signs of Spleen weakness -

many if not most dogs - then follow human guideleines to support

Spleen nutritionally. Digestive support - enzymes, probiotics, food

fed room temp at least (not straight from freezer), cut out/down on

the carbs (most cheap commercial foods grain based with little/no

meat). As long as not too damp add in EFA supplement. Use oatmeal

based shampoo (hypoallergenic) to cool skin without drying it out.

Will also reduce concentation of allergens on skin if this is the

case. Rinse thoroughly. Often these skin cases have strong Liver

patterns associated - adress any primary or secondary Liver Qi

stagnation with lifestyle adjustments - loads of free fun-filled

exercise, plenty of mental emotional stimulation, a big raw meaty

bone to chew on regularly, etc. Make sure environment not got any

potential allergens - bedding, carpet cleaners, etc.

Herbs - I have found modifications of Chu shi wei ling tang and long

dan zi gan tang more useful in the past than xiao feng san,

depending on the pattern you feel you are dealing with. For strong

symptomatic relief of itching I have so far found nothing to equal

steroids. In fact Xiao feng san often seems to have no effect in my

hands whatsoever. Really surprises me as other patterns respond

really well - especially the Liver patterns! I would suggest that if

needed, don't be afraid to use low dose oral steroids short term to

give symptomatic relief, as long as you are dealing with the root

imbalace. If the itch is not too severe avoid steroids.

Antihistamines help some dogs. A good swim in the sea helps some too.

 

I dose dogs at around 1 level teaspoon concentrated powder twice

daily for 35-40kg dog.

 

Hope this helps

 

Jimmy

 

ps I would really like to hear about your clinical experiences of

Xiao feng san in humans so as I know what a response to expect. I am

sure we are going to find that species respond very differently to

some classical formulae and not to others.

You definitely can be allergic or otherwise hypersensitive to herbs, however

strong

reactions are rare. corn starch is a common binder and filler in herb products

that sets off

low grade food allergies.

 

Speaking of unknown binders, I tried to dissolve a popular brand of little black

pills in

both plain hot water and a acidic solution yesterday. After one hour, the pills

remained

undissolved. I undertook this experiment because of a rumor circulating at PCOM

that the

little black pill patents are indigestible. I sought to disprove this rumor and

was

unpleasantly surprised at the results. Does my experiment prove anything? Is

there an

accurate way to study tablet and pill dissolution in the small clinic?

Hi Tonya,

 

I would suggest the Total Body Cleanse. Obviously there is a reason WHY you are getting these symptoms, and cleansing your body would be the first step to eliminating the cause. After the cleanse, you can contact Doc to get a finely tuned program, if you'd still need one.

Herbal Remedies - Allergies

 

Hi,

 

I am seeking help for allergies. I am supposedly allergic to cats, after expensive allergy testing a couple of years ago, however I think it is more than that.

[Guest guest]

For hay fever, an extract from the butterbur plant

(Petasites hybridus) was used in a clinical study and

was shown to be as effective at treating hay fever as

the antihistamine fexofenadine (Allegra in the US

market). The study was done at the Allergy Clinic in

Landquart, Switzerland. I found this little tidbit in

the August 29, 2005 edition of Chemical & Engineering

News on page 27. Thought about it when it was

mentioned, and thought I'd share to show that there

are people out there who are trying to show that there

are truths to these herbal remedies out there.

Hi marci i read that oregano oil is great for allergies. here is some info

Wild oregano overpowers them every time.Antibacterial AgentOregano is also an excellent antibacterial agent. Its volatile oils are highly active against the majority of pathogenic bacteria, including staph, strep, and E.coli.Furthermore, fungal resistance to oregano oil is exceptionally rare. Oregano is such a potent antifungal agent that it is capable of destroying even resistant fungal forms such as the mutated fungi which result from antibiotic therapy.

LOCAL raw honey

MSM does wonders also, if you get the right kind and use it the right

way, as honey can take up to a year to desensitize your body.

Is this just effective for seasonal allergies? If so, what can be

done for indoor and animal allergies? Getting rid of the animals

isn't an option for us.

For a " quick fix " , I used MSM for allergic reactions I had,

including the reaction from the animal.

I worked slowly up to 3 1,000mg tablets 3X's a day for 8 months or

so.

Buffered C works to come against the allergy by neutralizing the

system and the stress they cause. I used small amounts a few times a

day. Your body can not hold C all day long nor manufacter it's own.

You can make your own buffered C/calcium, the recipe is the lemon

egg recipe here in Doc's files. The proper way to use buffered vit C

is to bowel tolerance, increase dose daily by a tiny bit till you

get the rumblies in the belly and then back off to what you were

using the day before that happened.

For the " cure " , I worked on my immune system until I did not have

the allergy anymore.

While I strengthened my immune system, I gave the animal Yucca spray

on the food, this helps to neutralize them.

You need to de-acidify your system by quite a bit to allow the

immune system to work properly, (high acid prohibits/suppresses the

immune system from doing it's job/working) in order to help stop

allergic " reactions " permenently. Lots of work but well worth it.

Also there are all kinds of files here for colon cleanses and

building up the immune system and body.

Honey is effective for seasonal allergies, yes.

There are many chronic conditions which possess a remarkably similar

package of symptoms.

 

The sinus drainage you refer to is one of them.

 

Cow's milk and high gluten wheat are two of the most highly

allergenic foods on earth. These are not substances that have been

around that long, hence our digestive equipment hasn't fully adapted

to them, and won't for several thousand years.

 

The gluten casing around the wheat prevents spoilage. If you put low

gluten bread, like essene, ezekiel or dark, Russian Rye out on the

table, it begins to curl within hours, whereas so called healthy

whole wheat can sit on the grocers shelf for weeks.

 

Gluten doesn't digest completely in the intestines, and ferments,

producing an inflammatory response that can show up as asthma, joint

pain, acid reflux, chrons, diverticulitis, colitis, etc.

 

Gluten is the primary ingredient in wallpaper paste. It's not an

exagerration to picture yourself glueing your intestines shut over a

twenty or so year period if you subsist on the modern, grain based

diet.

 

The more highly sensitive people are blessed, in a sense, because

they stop the behavior.

 

peace

My wheat allergy is like I get sick to my stomach first, and made a little runny, but the problem is it DOESN'T want to come out. The gut blocks and builds up gas which is extremely painful and I can't drive a car or anything.

Nausea develops with dry heaves. Nothing moves either way.

Believe me there is plenty of incentive to NEVER eat wheat again.

 

One time traveling, I headed for walmart at 2AM and bought everything I could find, and I noticed Alka Seltzer. AHA, I thought, I recall that used to work. But It didn't, and an examination of the label told me they had removed the sodium bicarbonate.

I went back and got a box of soda. One tsp and the problem relieved.

I think what happens is the stomach reacts to something and gases up and cuts off the colon right next to it.

IBS.

 

I recall the first morning I felt sick and all I could eat at breakfast was tea and TOAST. The absolute worst thing I could have eaten.

 

Now I find I can eat some wheat but not bread made with gluten. My wife makes a banana bread with King Arthur whole kernel wheat with Baking soda for rising. No yeast.

 

Regards.

Could anyone tell me what the symptoms of wheat allergy are???? Once upon a time I was told I had this, but my staff of life was bread. At the time I would eat Hard Tack from Sweden. I have not felt very good since Aug of 2005, mostly to do with sinus drainage and coughing till I almost throw up. Sometimes the coughing goes on all night. To top it off I ate about 7 slices of Sliced French bread , and did not feel very good. All of this is hard because it seems all of a sudden I big time cannot eat icecream or milk, and have been allergic to dairy for many years if not forever. The thing is now I am older and these things are almost to get me off my feet, and I am so weak about it I keep slipping. All the things i like I am allergic to. sharob

Nina, you'd need to do a test by applying just a little

to begin with, but my bet is that he'd have no serious reaction.

Just remember, these can cause detox so you don't want to confuse detox

with allergy.

There are very few true allergies.

Best,

Doc

Yup, sold nettles for years for those with that sort of thing. I would not

advise harvesting nettles tho......this is a true story btw....

 

A friend of mine thought he would harvest his own nettles and put them in a

juicer.....well he did, BUT HE HARVESTED BULL NETTLES......and he drank a large

super glass sized bull nettle juice......I have never seen a person get so sick

so fast in my life. He should have gone to ER........two weeks later he said and

I quote ' " I truly believe I will never have to fast again for the rest of my

life as I believe that I will not ever have colon trouble because at some point

this past week I do believe I passed the colon itself'..................

 

You know, he was lucky. I should have felt sympathy but I could not stop

laughing at his misery and his description there of . The more he shared the

harder I laughed so he hung up on me.

 

We are still friends and all I have to do to get him (he's a prankster) is say

'Hey, you remember that time when you.....' and at that moment comes the threat

'stop. if you dare tell that story I will make your life

miserable'...........heh heh

 

Well I told that story anyway, we all laughed hysterically, and off to rent a

movie at Hastings I went with him and at the check out, he started making a very

large beeping sound and screamed 'EVIE PUT THAT BACK, YOU KNOW YOU ARENT

SUPPOSED TO STEAL AND I JUST GOT YOU OUT OF JAIL TOO!!!!!!

 

I am still plotting my revenge................

 

you can buy nettle capsules at most places that sell herbs to include some

pharmacies or grocery stores. GNC always has them but I'd sure be careful if

you've never tried it. One and only one to see if you tolerate it just in case

you have an allergy to it. I haven't met anyone who did, doesn't mean there

arent people who aren't allergic to it.

 

If you buy them at a GNC, they have a good return policy. With a receipt you get

your money back at any GNC in the states.....no matter where you bought it.

Without a receipt you must trade for another product of equal value. I think

most stores have a decent policy just keep receipts just in case. I like

nettles. Some people think they help with hair too.

 

Not plugging that particluar store, I just have experience with it , I shop any

body with a good price.....if it aint marked down, dinged or dented I don't buy

it LOL! 

 

evie, the cheapmeister

--- It would do no harm to try buying or getting local honey and having a couple

of tablespoons a day. The honey will have the pollens in it in your area and

often helps with hayfever type allergies.

An allergy is a hyperactive response of the immune system to certain substances which are "foreign" to our bodies. These substances are called "allergens", and they can range from food and pollen to dust and drugs.
