Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 My experiences with food and airborne allergies are what I will share. Allergies are a THRESHOLD ISSUE. Once you cross the threshold, things you never knew about give you trouble. Doctors will tell you that there is no treatment that will help with food allergies but my experience is that that is NOT TRUE. I have had severe allergies to food and airborne stuff all my life and when I went through my first desensitizing program (injections) nearly all of my food allergies also went away. The injections raised my threshold so high that the foods I was allergic to would never cross it. And when I say food allergies I mean there were foods that would close my throat, foods that would immediately cause me to wheeze and interfere with my breathing. The list is too long to mention. So, the short story is that injections DO HELP food allergies by way of nearly eliminating the airborne stuff and thereby raising your personal threshold. Doctors do not know it all. I believe every person should be tested for airborne and food allergies to understand what it is that causes problems and if the airborne stuff is high enough, GET SHOTS. And the earlier the better. I am 72 and am in my third round of shots in 35 years. We create so much pollution that the threshold changes all the time and the older one gets, the more likely allergies play a big part. If you have any kind of allergies at all, get tested. Look at all the people who have oxygen tanks along. Lack of oxygen has all kinds of terrible health implications from high blood pressure to just being unable to climb a flight of stairs. And not everyone on oxygen was a smoker either. COPD is alive and well. As people age, they begin to breath more and more shallow and that reduces the oxygen even further. Lastly, drink AT LEAST 2 quarts of water a day. That will help everything in your body. Lastly, screw what other people think. Learn about your own body and what works for you. Everyone is somewhat different and what you believe is a large part of how the body responds. Take a holistic approach, mind AND body. Be positive and do your own research. Use " Google Alert " to allow Google's huge search engine find the answers you need. It finds information from every publication in the world as soon as it becomes available to the internet. I use it all the time. It is a marvelous research source. earl 10a. Re: food allergies and vaccines Posted by: " Nicole Muench Seidel " nikasmomma2001 nikasmomma2001 Tue Oct 2, 2007 7:19 pm (PST) Our daughter has some extreme food allergies also, especially eggs and shell fish. We have wondered from time to time whether vaccines may play some role. Of course it may be a case of which came first the chicken or the egg. Some vaccines are made using chick embryos...so she could have already had an allergy to eggs and the vaccine made it worse. Or having a live virus injected into her at the same time as having indirect contact with eggs, did something. Also, we wonder if she got my weak immune system and couldn't handle 3 live viruses in one vaccine. I had to be hospitalized when I was only 6 months old for a very high fever that came with a kidney infection. While I don't want to offend anyone either, I think it is perfectly healthy to wonder about such things. That said, I doubt think we will have any solid answers to these questions for a while, so we don't worry about it...we just keep moving forward. ---Nicole , Alison Bliss <naturalhealthmom wrote: > > Not exactly, but I was raked through the coals for even suggesting that vaccines COULD be A possible reason for food allergies. 9 years ago my daughter had her routine 15month vaccines and two weeks later had an allergic reaction after eating peanutbutter. I PERSONALLY think the vaccines had something to do with it, At least in her case.I asked for other people's experiences and suggested that they do vaccine research before they have any more done to their kids. I was treated like a criminal. People on line don't seem to care who they offend. Everything needs to be worded " just so " or people take it completely out of context. I was just trying to look for answers for an evolving trend. It would be nice if there was a reason for food allergies or better yet a cure. I am no longer a member of that group. To my reccollection they didn't even post my appology to any of those whom I may have offended. They only posted what they wanted to. As in your case, some people appear to > be very closed-minded. Just thought I'd share. I hope I didn't offend anyone in this group by anything I said. I am trying to be more politically correct and more sensitive in my wording.
