Hi Marianne,

 

Probably something in the commercially processing.

 

Would then suggest trying say 1 ox (30 g) tuna, fresh from the seafood merchant,

lightly grilled for 2 minutes on a side

and eaten.

Thankyou Greg. I understand what you are saying and I agree, and I cannot

remember what the original comment was that I was disagreeing over, so I

will just forget it.

Is there a brand of canned tuna fish that can be recommended. I have just

purchased Bumblebee. It's a well known brand but I really don;t know much

about the quality of the tuna.

Hi Marianne,

 

Really fresh fish has little smell except for a slight sea smell. Try baking it

in several layers of foil, with virgin

coconut oil.

If talking about baking in Aluminum foil, you might want to think

about changing procedure to avoid Aluminum in cooking. If not Aluminum

foil, then what is it?

Fresh fish does not have a smell ( fishy smell) - if you could get really

fresh fish you might be able to cope with it better.

--- Jean,

I have found that the low-sodium tuna is usually msg free.

Labeling can be eighty percent sodium free. Anything that is not 100%

sodium free usually has the additives.

Also, there is a brand that is imported from Thailand,...I believe it

is...that is just the bluefin tuna and water. Believe me I searched

for it!

Dear R

you can try: Panther Piss; Echinacea Plus Formula; Total Tonic; and a Total Body Cleanse would probably do you good. And if congestion is the problem, try Herbal Snuff.

[herbal remedies] Allergies

Dear "R" Homeopathic remedies work wonderful on allergies, it's what I use. Their very smyptom specific tho. Many health food stores carry homeopathic remedies. They also carry herbal remedies for allergies. I think if you switch to these instead of things like Claritan, which really does nothing to address your allergies, just masks them, you'll get a much better result. If you live someplace that has a Borders or a Barnes and Nobel, you can go in there and get a book on how to use homeopathic formulas. You don't have to buy it unless you want to, but you can sit and go through a book and get some idea about the subject. If you have a health food store with a knowledgeable person, they can also walk you threw a lot of this.Kathe

[Guest guest]

I too had those symptoms many years ago. From a huge effort of

research and trial & error, here is what I found works for me.

 

1- stop eating anything that has hydroginated oils. This (for me) was

the best thing I ever learned.

 

2- Local bee pollin taken REGULARLY. Start off with very small

amounts.

 

3- cut out sugar - other than local, unpasteurized honey (if you heat

it - you've ruined it)

 

4- stay away from processed foods.

 

5- stay away from " normal " breads and other foods that have white

flour.

 

6 - never drink carbonated drinks.

 

7 - eat whole foods

 

Before I came to rely on the above, I tried EVERYTHING. Shots, pills,

herbs, homeopathic remedies, etc. Many things worked somewhat for a

while, but the only thing that keeps me free of the Alergies is to

follow what I wrote above. -hope this may be of some help.-david

sorry i can't be of more help--i'm not sure what would help w/that

cough w/o first really reducing the mucous. yogi tea makes a throat

comfort tea that works well to sooth sore throats. also maybe just

go to a health food store and get a homeopathic cough syrup? i agree

that moving isn't really the answer but more so b/c i think if

someone is prone to allergies they will develop new ones to whatever

surrounds them...so the key is getting your body healthy so there are

no more allergies. lots of raw garlic should help cut down the

mucous too--this just seems key since whatever you do for the cough

is going to be so fleeting if you still have the mucous. maybe

someone else on the list will have some better ideas for you though.

good luck. luv laura

What does your diet consist of?? Possibly a change in what you are consuming......A cleanse would be in order... total tonic every day will also help.. There is also a formula for "herbal snuff" in the files.

flonase is not a good thing. i'm thrilled your looking at healthier

options. for all around allergy relief i use d-hist by ortho. it's all

natural and WORKS. I really try to stay away from nasal sprays

however, and have simply worked to clean up my environment from

instigators such as vocs in the paint on my walls...etc.

You could also try the desensitization thing. I don't know the technical name

for it. They inject you with a tiny bit of the allergen every so often and

eventually your body stops reacting to it.

Hi People,

 

I am currently experiencing what I believe to be a delayed allergic

response to a paralysis tick bite. Symptoms include swelling and

pimple like marks similar to a bee sting. I am getting these symptoms

all over my body including palms, soul of feet, and face. I first used

apple cider vinegar and natural bite balm which have relieved the urge

to itch. Using a homoeopathic tick remedy appears to have kicked in my

natural healing. Does anyone have some suggestions as to what

treatments may be helpful ?

 

Thanks

Crystal, did you find the tick? If it was there, then it would

probably have been VERY itchy by the time you noticed it. What you

have to be careful to avoid, is leaving the head in there if you try to

remove the tick. It could continue to cause irritation. The best way

I have found, is to put a small drop of pyrethrum garden spray on the

tick. It is fairly benign to humans, but will kill the tick stone dead

in a couple of seconds. Then just forget about it and the whole lot

will fall out in a day or two.

I have not had a chance to use it on an alergy yet, but I would guess

that using the sedating points for the Triple Energiser Meridian might

help ( " Energy Medicine " page 122)

Ticks climb anything (grass, trees, buildings) so as to drop onto their

targets, so sitting under a tree to eat lunch can be risky. Insect

repellent can help deter them.

Hi Crystal,

 

You might want to try pulling the toxins out of the body using a

counter-clockwise motion of your hand over the area of the tick bit. You

are going to want to shake off your hands whenever you feel like they have

accumulated " gunk " . When you feel you have cleared the area, close with

putting in fresh, healing energy with a clockwise motion of your hand.

 

Many blessings,

MichelleH
