If it is allergy related 2000- 5000mg of MSM will remove any forein protein from the body before you can have a reaction to it. MSM is also non toxic.

Infectious disease - Beck protocol as always.

Dear Trapper,

I have no first-hand experience with hives,
so I went to Paul Pitchford's book, Healing
With Whole Foods.

Paul says that hives can be cured with omega-3
oils, especially flaxseed oil. The omega-3
fatty acids will boost your son's immune
system, and self-healing (which is the only
kind of healing) will begin.

I recommend Barlean's flaxseed oil. I used it
for years, before I began grinding my own
golden flaxseed. Most health food stores carry
Barlean's and Omega flaxseed oil on their
refrigerated shelves. Hives aside, the omega-3 acids will be very beneficial for your son's
health.

Blessings,

Owen

<...my son has broken out in classic hives. the hands, feet and torso seem most effected and his lips swell.>

This sounds EXACTLY like the symptoms my husband had after we had a halibut dinner at a neighborhood restaurant. Even the swollen lips. After much research, we determined that he'd suffered mercury poisoning from the halibut.

Has your son been exposed to any fish or marine products lately?

I did! I thought that that was what was causing them, after the post about chlorella & skin rash...& they did ease off, for a while...little outbreaks here & there, but the other day I had the worst outbreak since the dengue...I'm very confused...screwed up immune system?...dengue virus still hanging out?...parasites?...healing crisis?...really congested liver?...detoxing too quickly?
I think uniquity's onto something with the echinacea...
What do you think? Thanks:)

Trapper,

I feel for your son, I have experienced outbreaks of hives myself, it can be a real curse. In my case here is what I have noticed and suspected as triggers-

Periods of elevated stress, and food intolerance / allergy (in my case it seemed to be chicken, eggs, and certain amino acids, I did not pinpoint which amino acid or if it is more than one amino acid). However from what I understand, hives can be caused by an abundant number of things, and each individual is different.

But I do agree with the others who suggested MSM and omega 3,6. I have also had good results with grapefruit seed extract, up to 75 drops per day in divided doses, and Colloidal Silver max dose. One other very important thing is sleep. I have had outbreaks when I did not get appropriate rest. It has seemed to have something to do with the immune system. I very rarely have outbreaks any more. Also, I have been doing Liver Flushes every 2 to 3 weeks for the past few months, and have noticed overall improvement in my skin problems.

I hope the best for you and your son,

Micah

thank you to both of you. this whole community is great.

we did not have an outbreak last night. we avoided the possible trigger - the couch in the living room. we took msm and couldnt find flax so we got fish pills. we had oatmeal and Epsom Salts standing by. but this is what i think did it.

the minute he got up yesterday morning. i had him drinking water and taking real salt. he spent his usual time outside and sweated profusely, more than usual. he ended up taking in about 11 tall glasses of water and about a teaspoon of salt with it compared to a couple of glasses and no salt. praise be to the late great dr batmanghelidj and his theory of histimines and how they signal dehydration and drought. my son, like everyone else, thought that not being thirsty meant he didnt need water. WRONG. histimine actions in the body - aches, pains, rashes, itching, etc - these the signs of dehydration and drought in the body.

drinking water was the first thing i told him to do. he did not listen and did not understand. he couldnt even raise a welt with his fingernails last night. now he understands and will listen better next time i tell him something. thank you all and thank you dr b. may the good creator be cradling you in his arms forever.
