Allergy

Abdominal pain, weakness and tiredness, nasty headaches, joint pains without any reason – is that you or a member of your family? Is there a simple cause and straight-forward solution, routinely overlooked by about ninety five per cent of doctors?

Water fluoridation is provided for the majority of citizens in just a small group of countries including USA, Australia and Ireland. It is allegedly for tooth decay control in children. Canada once had more than fifty percent of people using fluoridated water but is now down to about thirty five per cent, with numerous cities discontinuing.

The prevailing wisdom in government health agencies and dental associations is that fluoridated water cannot harm your health. But recent major studies, and clinical reports dating back 60 years, say otherwise.

In 2006 the US National Research Council published the report of its three year review of the toxicology of fluoride in drinking water. It looked at all levels of fluoride from much higher than used in fluoridation schemes through to lower levels. It found that there are clear risks to consumers, particular vulnerable subsets such as infants using tap water with fluoride, kidney patients and the very large numbers of people with thyroid disease or iodine deficiency. Many of the health risks detailed were long term damage from many years of fluoride accumulation, but this article examines another kind of vulnerable water consumer, those with allergy-like, rapid reactions to fluoride.

When fluoridation was first introduced in the USA through the 1940s and 50s, clinicians such as a President of the American Academy of Allergy Dr George Waldbott, wrote up series of case histories of patients suffering adverse reactions when their water became fluoridated. It was only proved to be fluoride causing the sickness when patients spent time in another city free from fluoride, and returned home getting sick each time. Clinical challenge tests were also performed in the surgery to confirm diagnosis.

Two decades later exactly the same kinds of symptoms were discovered in large numbers of sufferers in the Netherlands when a medical team conducted double blind trials on them in Amsterdam. Some doctors had patients living in the fluoridated and non-fluoridated suburbs and noticed the difference, leading to setting up the team to examine the fluoride illness scientifically. Fluoridation was abandoned, and in fact outlawed by the Parliament, following the results of the trial headed by Dr Hans Moolenburgh.

This subset of people develop nasty toxic symptoms within hours, or a day or two of starting to use fluoridated water. The symptoms come on like an allergy. These people are the two or three per cent with extra high sensitivity to fluoride’s toxic action.

The kind of illness they develop ranges through colicky stomach and intestinal pains, severe headaches, weakness and fatigue, skin rashes, mouth ulcers, worsening of allergic conditions including wheezy breathing, blurred vision, excessive thirst and joint pains. The common themes are (a) nearly all have fatigue that is not even relieved by sleep, and (b) symptoms come on quickly and can only be relieved by completely avoiding all sources of fluoride.

Fluoridation has become so widely accepted in the handful of countries that favour it that sufferers are simply hung out to dry, to take care of themselves. Some take years to discover the cause of their suffering. Strangely, medical associations and journals rarely discuss it anymore. Propaganda from health departments claims that fluoride allergy or toxicity does not exist. Sufferers find out by word of mouth from friends or family, or from one of the more environmentally aware doctors or naturopaths they might visit.

The only way to get well if you are suffering these fluoride symptoms is to either purchase very large quantities of bottled, fluoride-free water, or fit the kind of expensive filter that removes fluoride. Then you need to use the fluoride-free water for all of your drinking water, filling the kettle for hot drinks, and cooking water. Some of the most sensitive sufferers even need to use fluoride-free water for bathing, which becomes almost impossible to achieve in a fluoridated town.

The filters that can remove fluoride are reverse osmosis units, ion exchange resin type filters and distillation. All are expensive and have their drawbacks. None are suitable for whole-of-house filtration to purify bathing and showering water.

Finally, the sufferer who has identified fluoride as the culprit needs to avoid all bottled and canned products made in a fluoridated city as these products may be made with tap water. Only painful trial and error, usually lots of errors, leads to discovering the restricted regime that will enable you to recover your health. Those who achieve it are eternally grateful, and naturally rather unhappy about the political regime that continues putting the offending fluoride into their water, while keeping the public in the dark about the harm it is causing.

Good luck; it is well worth pursuing this investigation and solution if you are suffering these problems without yet discovering why you feel so rotten.

Allergy season is now in full swing, and people everywhere are looking for tips to get rid of allergies. One of the first things you should do if you suspect allergies, is to go have an allergy test done. This test is usually done at either your primary care physician’s office, or at the office of an Allergy and Immunology doctor. The test is usually performed by a nurse or medical assistant and the results are interpreted by the doctor. After this test is complete, you will have a better idea of what is triggering your symptoms. Then you can take steps to prevent allergy symptoms, and ultimately, learn how to get rid of your allergies!

This article will discuss five of the most common allergies and tips on how to get rid of them. First you may ask, what is an allergy? Basically, an allergy is an unnatural immune reaction to a normally benign substance (whether plants, animals, insects or food) that your body thinks is harmful. These substances are called allergens. When you come into contact with an allergen, your body releases a chemical called histamine into the bloodstream, (in hopes of destroying what it thinks of as an invader) which causes inflammation. This is called an allergic reaction. Sometimes, an allergic reaction is so severe, it can become fatal. What are some of the most common allergies? They include substances such as:

1 Pollen
2 Mold
3 Pets/animal hair
4 Latex
5 Food

Of all common offenders, pollen is the number one allergen in the United States, and is the most common allergy during seasonal allergy months. Pollen comes from a multitude of plants, herbs, trees and flowers, and spreads like wildfire through the air. The most prevalent time for pollen is during the spring and summer, when most plants bloom to life. Plants release pollen on into the autumn season, and while winter is usually a time for pollen-allergy sufferers to breathe a sigh of relief, there are still some plants that release pollen even in the dead of winter.

Mold is pesky little fungi that loves to grow in warm, moist, dark places. Mold releases spores into the air, and when mold is touched or the spores are inhaled, they cause inflammation in the airways and bring on an allergic reaction. It is important to have your house routinely checked for mold, especially if you live in a humid climate. The longer a mold problem persists, the harder it is to eradicate.

An allergy to animal hair is a very common, yet unfortunate, allergy to have. The most common cause of an allergy to animal hair is the proteins that coat the hair. Those oils/proteins are there to protect the animal’s coat of hair and keep it shiny. Unfortunately, those shiny coats trigger respiratory allergies in many people, which can be very sad for animal lovers. Sometimes, animal hair allergies are so severe that the afflicted person, sadly, cannot keep a pet.

Latex allergy is another quite common, yet often times severe, allergy. The protein contained in the latex rubber is the offender here, and usually leads to an immediate, sometimes very severe allergic reaction. For those who work in the healthcare field, and those who require frequent doctor visits, this allergy can be problematic, since many healthcare items contain latex. Fortunately, more and more medical manufacturers are coming out with latex-free gloves and other latex-free equipment.

Last on this list of the top five most common allergies, but certainly not least, are food allergies. Food allergy can, at times, be the most problematic allergy of all. This is because nowadays, in this age of food additives and preservatives, there are many hidden ingredients in processed and pre-prepared foods. The most common food allergies are nuts, shellfish, wheat and milk/dairy products. When a food allergy sufferer eats an allergy-causing food, their bodies release histamine into the bloodstream, causing inflammation which can be severe. This reaction can be anywhere from diarrhea and stomach cramps to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction that causes the airway to close or swell shut.

Now that you know some of the most common allergies, and you know that getting tested to identify your allergies is the first step, it’s time to talk about how to get rid of your allergies. Many (but not all) modern doctors believe that adults won’t be able to totally get rid of their allergies. Children tend to grow out of their allergies, but most adults retain their allergies for life. Don’t groan just yet – keeping positive is a huge step in dealing with your allergies. Contrary to popular belief, there is hope – yes, you can get rid of your allergies! Some more good news is that many naturopathic doctors, herbalists, and natural healers believe that you can indeed get rid of allergies.

The next step to getting rid of your allergies is to avoid the things that give you allergic reactions. That sounds fairly simple, but it can be complicated when it involves allergens such as food. Modifying your environment can go a long way to getting rid of allergies. Keep an allergy diary and write about your reactions – this will help you learn what to avoid. If you have mold in your house, make sure it is cleaned out and totally eradicated by specialists that deal specifically with getting rid of mold. If you are allergic to your household pets, don’t fret. Do some research into allergy-friendly pets that you can own – yes, there are allergy-friendly animals out there. There are even allergy-friendly dogs such as the short-haired Chihuahua. If you are allergic to pollen, make sure to have someone help you keep your grass mowed and your yard in tip-top shape, and take your prescribed allergy medicine daily. If latex is what gets your allergic response going, be sure to alert any new doctors to this allergy, and carefully read labels on household and cosmetic supplies to make sure they are latex-free. Food allergies can be the trickiest, but if you become an avid-label reader and carry allergy medicine (including an Epi-Pen for serious reactions) with you that should go a long way to helping you avoid the offending substances. Do a diet of elimination – meaning, eliminate all the problem foods from your diet for a period of time (usually around 6 weeks) and then slowly introduce them back in, one at a time. Many times, elimination diets have huge success rates, even to the point that the previous allergy-causing foods no longer cause problems!

Next on the list is treatment. Take your prescribed allergy medicine every day. If you know you are going to come into contact with any allergens, take your medicine beforehand to lessen or even prevent symptoms. Talk to your doctor about getting what is called allergy shots. These shots contain very small amounts of the substances to which you are allergic, so as to desensitize you. The theory is, which each shot, you become less and less allergic to that particular substance. The good thing is, many people have a huge success rate with allergy shots. Another option is alternative treatments such as chiropractic and acupuncture sessions.

A lot of allergy sufferers swear by acupuncture to alleviate their allergies. Other alternative treatments would be vitamin, antioxidant and herbal supplements that boost the immune system, stabilize cells, and repair damage. Examples of these would be vitamin C, vitamin B complex, vitamin E, Quercetin, green tea, and omega-3 fatty acid supplements. Saline sinus rinses also have a high success rate, since they flush out irritants and bacteria. Speaking of flushing out irritants – a good intestinal cleanse has worked wonders for many food allergy sufferers.

Remember to always talk to your doctor before taking any supplements, doing any kind of cleanse, or starting any kind of alternative therapy for your allergies. Though you may want to, you can’t diagnose yourself. Allergy sufferers need to be under the care of a physician. Don’t fret or get discouraged, though! No matter what the naysayers say, there are options and you can get rid of allergies. Allergies don’t have to last forever – and when you follow the tips outlined in this article, you can kiss your allergies goodbye.

Samuel Alby asked:




Foods that contain yeast are very popular in the western world, this is a problem if you suffer from a yeast allergy. In this article we look at what a yeast allergy actually is, as well as its symptoms.

Obviously if you are one of the unfortunate people who suffers from this type of allergy, you cannot eat or drink anything that contains yeast or yeast derivatives. The problem is avoiding foods that contain this substance is very difficult because it is an ingredient in so many foods, particularly baked foods such as bread. It’s not only foods that contain yeast, all alcoholic drinks have this as an ingredient, so they must be avoided, or replaced with non-alcoholic alternatives.

So what are the symptoms? The symptoms of yeast allergy are the same as those that occur as a result of most food allergies, they include: hives, irritability, head aches, muscle aches, fatigue, swelling of the mouth, throat and tongue, amongst several other symptoms.

Yeast allergy symptoms can vary, some people may suffer mild symptoms, whilst others suffer more severe ones. In rare cases these symptoms can actually be life threatening. If you know that you suffer from an allergic reaction to yeast it is advisable that you avoid food and drinks that contain it. The symptoms of food allergies tend to get worse if you continue to eat foods that you are allergic to.

If you think you may suffer from a yeast allergy, or any food allergy for that matter you should seek medical advice, this will reduce the chances of you suffering from another allergic reaction.

Your doctor will carry out tests on you to determine what food is responsible for your allergic reaction, there are three main tests that a doctor may carry out, these include, a blood tests, a scratch test or finding the food you are allergic to by process of elimination.

Blood Test: During a blood test a doctor will take samples of your blood and put samples of suspected allergy foods in them, he will then see the reaction that occurs. If the chemicals that are released by the blood are those that occur during an allergic reaction, than it means you are allergic to the food that is being tested.

Scratch Test: This test is not the most accurate test in the world, but it can be useful, it involves a fine scratch being made on your skin, a small sample of the suspected food is put near the scratch, if the skin around the scratch swells up it means you are allergic to the food.

Process of Elimination: This simply involves eliminating foods from the diet in order to discover which food is responsible for your allergic reaction.

Once the food allergy that you have has been discovered the doctor can recommend the best treatment methods, which normally involves avoiding the food completely and finding alternatives to foods that contain yeast, in the case of yeast allergy.
