Butterbur/massage lotion question

[Guest guest]

I made a mistake in the post, below, cernitin was something I read about

for prostate health. It's made from a special kind of bee pollen, I think.

For allergies, I have used supplements that contained nettle, lots of

vitamin C, B vitamins, and pantothenic acid. I imagine if you are on Doc's

program, you'll be getting lots of good vitamins and enzymes, which should

really help, especially if the liver and kidneys have been flushed. The

adrenal glands are very involved with allergies, I think, too.

 

I'd like to know what else is good for allergies. BTW, recently, I became

allergic to some fairly benign, " natural " massage lotions I had been using.

The two products were from the same company, but had different ingredients.

I think it's possible I became sensitized to coconut oil, or it's

derivatives, since I seem to be reacting to my socks, too, which I wash in

a " natural " detergent product that uses coconut derivatives. I get a skin

rash from them.

 

Any suggestions about how to get over such a sensitivity, or for a really

good lotion or massage oil without such things in it? Hopefully one that

will not stain massage sheets?

 

Thanks for all the info!

 

Scott.

Re:allergies

 

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.
