ALLERGIES SINCE PURCHASE OF NEW HOME

09/05/2007: S writes: "Dear Ted: in spite of my health conciousness and healthy diet, I have been suffering from seasonal allergies for the past 6 years since we bought a new home. Both me and my husband are affected.

I am considering NAC for my allergies. Does it need to be supplemented with any other supplement. Also what do you think of Alpha Lipoic Acid and Biotin? Would it be good to add to my regimen? I am also struggling with premature gray hair and was hoping Biotin would be good to supplement.

In spite of supplementing with Vitamin C, b-complex, vitamin E and some cod liver oil, I am still confused why I am unable to get rid of my allergies. So far I have had no luck, but I really want to beat my allergies naturally.

I was enthusiastic about hydrogen peroxide, but for some strange reason, it constipates me, everytime I take it. I think I have to reduce my dosage. I took 2 drops of 35% h2O2 in a glass of water and got bloated and constipated.

I still have to look for Sodium thiosulphate as you mentioned. It is a reducing agent, which will reduce chlorine to Chloride. I am just wondering, if it will also reduce IODINE to IODIDE. Is that good or bad. Do we really need elemental Iodine or only IODIDE form.

Hope you get time to answer some questions. thank you so much"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Seasonal allergies and moving to new house seems to be a fungus problem and cleaning the house with borax may help.

Alpha lipoic acid and Biotin often helps with hair problem but also for gray hairs sometimes taking plenty of vitamin C helps too. Shampooing hair with borax may also help. Sometimes a fungus maybe eating up the melanin responsible for the gray hairs.

If hydrogen peroxide is constipating, it means the pH of the urine is not sufficiently alkaline enough which means it is below 6.5 and baking soda should be needed, and some potassium helps too.

Iodide form is the form the body uses, elemental form are more toxic."

09/09/2007: S writes: "Thanks for your response TED. I really appreciate it. I started taking N-AcetylCysteine 2 weeks ago (600mg) twice a day, in hopes that it will help with allergies. But it has had no impact. I am also taking plenty of Vitamin C with it. Also started Vinegar steam. In the end, it seems like nothing is working. But I am continuing with NAC hoping it will eventually help. I am also taking ZINC Gluconate (50mg) intermittently, butno relief from symptoms. Looks like I just have to wait till the allergy season is over. Sometimes I feel defeated because of these allergies."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "If H2O2, vinegar or apple cider vinegar does not work, in which these will often neutralize the allergen toxicity by oxidizing or neutralizing, there is one common chemical that denatures the ragweed allergen Ra5, which is a strong tannic acid solution I used as aerosols to neutralize them or topical solution. The reason it has not been recommended is simply that tannic acid tends to cause staining problems (it turns to dark color in presence of any metal), and this is the last option.

The allergens can also be filtered in the home as an electrostatic filter to reduce them or a close alternative to denature them through at least reduced it by drinking strong green tea or other tea without milk or any sugar. Promegranate is very high in tannins that is one possible solution. Eating those might reduce some of this condition."

BREWERS YEAST ALLERGY

12/24/2007: N writes: "I have recently added brewers yeast tablets to my regular diet. I take two tablets per day as well as my multi vitamins. 3 days ago I developed bumps and itching all over my body. I have been taking benadryl. Is there any way to speed up the recovery process? I have since stopped taking all vitamins. My only known allergy is to sulphur. Please help."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "The itching might be due to the vitamin B3 niacin in the multivitamin. The preferred vitamin B3 is niacinamide. They tend to cause severe itching in some people, including me. Hence, if a multivitamin that doesn't contain the niacin may prevent the problem. A brewer's yeast allergy I don't get as much complaint. It is best to try each one out and find out what is causing the problem, however it is my experience that some companies add niacin, which causes the itchiness and sometimes bumps in people. Pure metallic iodine, instead of potassium iodide or sodium iodide tend to cause bumps. Therefore carefully read the labels of the multivitamin supplements as well as check the source of the problem. It could be likely be the multivitamin, but in rare cases do I have complaints about brewer's yeast. Most the problem I do received actually came from bee pollen, more so than even brewer's yeast, unless of course the brewer's yeast is past its expiration date and that might also be the cause too.

CHILD WITH SEVERE ALLERGIES

04/09/2008: Malia writes: "Ok, my seven years old daughter went to an allergist, and she came home with 6-8 prescriptions. You name it she had it. Anyhow, they said that she has a shortness in her breathing, but could not diagnose it as Asthma. Few years ago when she was about four she had an allergy test and come to find out she was allergic to everything on earth. So I started shopping at whole foods, and started changing her diet making almost everything from scratch. Anyhow her exzema was improved, but she still has excessive dry skin. She has a deadly allergy to peanuts, where if it touches her skin the area get bubbly, and if she eats she can't breath. I was reasearching on your sight for yeast infection and the remedies actually do help, especially the yogurt with the tampon. My concern is can I give her the apple cider vinegar, and if so what dosages since she so young. The exact way of how to do it will really help. Thank you for all that you do. I have learn, that natural is the way, because it's something put in my heart by God. I had the worst yeast infection in the history of yeast infections and I refused to take medicine or any drug. So please respond, as I'm trying to take care of my body, I want to take care of my children as well.

Thank You."

DOG ALLERGY RELIEF

11/11/2007: Elisa writes: "I'm SUPER allergic to dogs, nothing I've taken in the past has helped. Is there a natural remedy I could take? I'm going to be around a dog at Christmas for 2 days and would like to start something now to be prepared. Can you help?"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "

This depends on what kind of allergic reaction you have on the dog, was it the sneeze or a skin reaction? A skin reaction can be due to fungus, or allergens on the dogs from the ragweed, plants and grasses in which the dogs were exposed to on and stayed on its fur.

'

To reduce this, the dogs should be taken a bath, perhaps with saturated borax added to the 1% hydrogen peroxide. Drinking plenty of green tea will reduce some allergic reaction as the tannins may help reduce the allergen materials in the body"

EATING CAUSES MOUTH PAIN

11/28/2007: H writes: "Hello, I stumbled across your website and I was wanting to ask you something about me.. Its really hard for me to explain.. Whenever I eat anything the back of my mouth hurts so bad it makes me cry. I do have a food allergy to bell peppers and paprika but I'm positive that what I am eating doesn't have it in it.. But I mean the back of my throat feels like it does when I eat something Im allergic too. My throat feels swollen, its hard to swallow, cant chew because it makes the pain worse each bite that I take and there is pain in the back of my mouth by the base of my tongue and the roof of my mouth hurts too.. It just started happening today.. It has happened once or twice in my whole life.. but now its constant I barely have eaten anything today because of it.. When I drink something Im fine and a while after I eat Im fine again but as soon as I try to eat it happens again, I cant even chew a piece of gum. Have you ever heard of anything like this.. Please reply asap. I would really like to know whats wrong so I can try to get help about it.. Its excruciating. Please help me."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "H: It maybe either the virus or a certain strep throat bacteria. Usually doctors would give people amoxicillin for the strep throat, but I don't like the use of antibiotics.

I prefer to use 1%-1.5% H2O2 plus some baking soda. For example, in 1/2 glass of water, I will add one teaspoon of baking soda to the 1.5% H2O2 solution to use as a mouthwash.

I may also sip slowly about 2-3 cc of 1/2 glass of warm water with 10 drops of 3% H2O2 with 1 teaspoon of baking soda every 15 minutes for about four or five times to reduce it. Usually such pain I have encountered is a viral problem, rather than a strep throat. I might take some zinc lozenges and perhaps xylitol to reduce this pain.

If it is food allergies, the body will reduce the food allergy if the body is generally sufficiently alkaline such as 2 tablespoon of lemon juice with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water and drink this slowly, taken twice a day. It takes 3 days to notice improvement.

Certain bacteria and detoxification may help with a 250-500 mg of magnesium citrate, taken twice a day.

It is also quite common before a cold or a virus, that the throat becomes excruciatingly painful. Therefore 50 mg of zinc gluconate, baking soda 1/2 teaspoon in 1/2 glass of water, and sipping slow as mentioned before may help this problem.

It is difficult to find the real cause given the information you sent me, but the ones mentioned here are the common problems I encountered from difficulty swallowing due to sore throat.

One additional fact that might help, in case the sore throat are viral is 4 drops of peppermint oil, taken directly into the mouth and kept there for about 2 minutes before swallowing slowly. The peppermint oil will kill certain virus that causes the pain or irritation"

FOOD ALLERGIES

04/21/2008: L writes: "Hi Ted, I haven't been able yet to read everything on your site.. However, I can say that I have noticed myself similar symptoms but not only with ice cream other processed foods.. It is very hard to live a life of no processed foods unless you just don't eat anywhere but home.. Especially pizza too! I was really thinking of finding a way to test for food allergies... My oldest daughter had reactions to food dye and she is 21 and that was when she was 1 1/2 years old. I will continue to read your site.. Thanks"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Lisa:

Prepared food are the major problems. I remember that American Indians were relatively diabetes free, until of course a supermarket is opened and within two years diabetes start coming. So even if we don't know where it is coming from, it it is certainly processed foods. Aspartame is the latest one found in processed and I read a woman was wrongly convicted of murder 50 years after her husband took sugar free Gatorade and Creatine. The aspartame in sugar free products and creatine is a deadly combination, it raises the blood methanol and formaldehyde so high enough to kill a person. Creatine causes retention in water in muscles, while aspartame breaks down into methanol and further more formaldehyde in presences of body enzyme, such as trypsin. Interestingly both sodium benzoate (which degrades to benzene) in acid medium such as Coke, methanol found in the blood after drinking, destroys the neural endocrine system, by causing metabolic acidosis, which in turn causes diabetes. Obviously any hydrocarbons, in particular the ones mentioned here, but this includes anti-knock cadmium (found in gasoline) goes and destroy the system too. This is why painters die early from thinner use and often have diabetes. The paint thinners destroy the neuroendocrine system, which controls the blood sugar.

Most allergy to food coloring is red food dye #2 (carmine or cochineal extract) comes from dried cochineal bugs in South America or Canary Island. There are hyperactivity, and other reactions from eating it.

The other problem is yellow food dye #5 tartrazine and blue dye #1, also have problems.

As to getting food allergy tests, there are many methods of finding food allergies, some are accurate some are not. One way to distinguish real information from disinformation by local authorities is to check whether the listed allergies you do know confirms their own tests or findings.

A conventional method of test is expensive through using patch test, but that's only if you DON'T know what they are. It is a lot easier, that I put on our own skin, or eat them one at a time to find out than go to the hospital to do the same thing and I can never afford their hospital bills.

A newer electro dermal scanning are fast, but to tell whether their system works or not is to double and triple check to see whether the response for each vials are the same - without the person knowing what the name bottle of vials are until the results are in. Interestingly. the electro dermal scanning can go through a large number of lists in a very short time, where conventional methods longer time.

There might be disinformation by the news lately that if you go through 5 or 6 different scanning services you get different allergy list and never the same.

The problem is different companies prepare different samples of the material, for example corn can have different species and varieties of the same plant. I have known one who is peculiarly allergic to a certain corn variety is a case in point. But a lesson here is if there is a problem if you buy some food from source A, go buy from source B.

The most common problem is fruits in UK and US for example all look nice, don't spoil because they are grown nutritionally deficient land, having only few nutrients so they look standardized. Obviously they can't spoil because bacteria can't thrive on few nutrients. So a case in point here is for me to buy from a small local food market, rather than the multi-billion dollar superstores, that sucks out local circulating currency from the community, sending food that are sanitized sterilized that it is no longer nutritionally healthy.causes a deficiency over time and that can result in a sort of sickness, that might even look as if we get sicker if we continue to eat them.

A pollen can come from any sorts of plants or flowers when they do prepare homeopathic samplings. Interesting, certain "authorities" make sure the results are completely destroyed by inadvertently putting cellular phones next to all the homeopathic samplings and the calling in or calling out, which creates microwave radiation completely destroyed it.

I had a chance to watch Randi's one million dollar reward to prove that homeopathic didn't work but the results were rigged, part of the test required that the homeopathic preparations was subject to a sort laser analysis, which even if our eyes were exposed we would go blind, the other thing is an untreated vials near a homeopathic samples were put next to each other.

For those who are familiar with homeopathic preparations, it is common for the vibrational energy fields to go from a homeopathic vials to an untreated one, when it is set for any length of time next to each other. In fact this is how I sometimes prepare a homeopathic remedies. This is because a prepared one will go to an unprepared one, while on the other hand two different homeopathic preparations do not flow into each other, because they have now an acquired vibration in each of the samples.' A manipulator to disprove homeopathic remedies know this and they do it to their advantage to disprove it. One easy way to skew the results is simply to make a homeopathic preparations and test on plant growth. It works everytime for me and my friends here. The treated plants grew much more then an untreated one and there's no placebo effect here, and this is even double blind test, in which I don't know it, and the person watering don't know, until after the results are in.

A simple way I have prepared a homeopathic preparation is to use the electric zapper into the water, shake it, use the water to planting, but not pour them all out, add more water, shake, and water the plant, and so on and so fourth. The results are always the same. I can go on forever telling of my experiments, but this is off topic.

Much of homeopathic medicine and electrodermal scanning works on the same principle as the biological systems responds to vibrational fields of certain preparations, and even in muscle testing (this is how dowsing works) and why certain ley lines below the bed can make you unhealthy depending on the bed po In fact electro dermal testing is a more specific form of muscle testing where the muscles responds to homeopathic vials. Interestingly, brainwave scans, using EEG responds similarly to them and a smell for example, even below threshold detections responds to them the same way as vibrational fields are picked up such as lay on healing or other energy field system. To deny them to exist, we have to deny that EEG doesn't exist and that's a difficult one to overthrow, so authorities simply ignore this issue, but in the future electro dermal scanning using EEG, or polygraph like methodology could be use to detect the body's compatibility of foods and other allergic response with greater speed. Interestingly it may be possible also to test whether certain homeopathic remedies work for you or against you just the same."
