Re: I need advice regarding a bad "allergic" reaction.

"Hives, allergies, strong reactions of all types are ALWAYS "liver". It's seems like you're starting to be VERY "reactive" (first cayenne that didn't used to bother you, now Humaworm that didn't bother you before...PLUS possible die-off).

You need to get your liver attended to, and you need to do it ASAP - because the pharmaceutical bandaids (while giving relief, as you know) in this case are definitely going to make you more reactive...likely quite quickly."

I think you're right about my becoming reactive. I didn't really see it like that until you mentioned it. I do plan on cutting out the problem by the end of the week because it would be pretty bad if the hives and all start coming through the drugs, like I've heard with other people.

"--FIRST - be SURE to ensure 3 bms daily - stay away from OTC laxatives & Epsom Salts. If you can tolerate IF#1 or LBB (and you have some), go with that...if not, PRUNE JUICE (up to a quart or more a day). You've got to get that bowel moving. If nothing else, 3 warm water enemas daily - just get 'er done."

Alright.

"--FIRST AGAIN - Activated Charcoal - powder is better, but it's harder to find. If you can only find tablets, no problem, crush them. Take AT LEAST 5 teaspoons daily (mix with juice - it has no taste, it's just gritty). This is a fast way to adsorb toxins & poisons out of your bloodstream AND take stress off of your liver. The action of charcoal is to aDsorb (not like a sponge where it has to touch the toxins to soak them up, but like a magnet...it actually PULLS toxins out of your bloodstream and into your digestive tract to be safely flushed down the toilet!). Charcoal *can* be constipating, so you MUST get those bowel movements happening."

Should I take it on an empty stomach or with a meal? Does that matter?

"--Next (if at ALL possible) - if you can find powdered activated charcoal locally...then put an activated charcoal poultice over your liver (4 hours minimum 2x daily, or all night). If you can't find it locally, get it ordered as fast as you can (link below) - this is a GREAT assist for your liver. A charcoal poultice over the liver works as a "second liver"...and it really DOES work! It will pull toxins out of your liver AND toxins out of your bloodstream (that goes through your liver every three minutes). If your liver is really toxic, the poultice might even get warm - that'd be the friction of the toxins pulling through the skin into the poultice.
Here's the instructions:

(you can find ground or whole flax seed 'most anywhere that's health oriented - if you can only find whole, just grind them in your blender - that'll work fine. If you have psyllium husks around that'll work too).
Here's where you can order activated charcoal powder (cheap!...cheaper shipping and FAST SERVICE): http://www.abnat.com/activated-charcoal-powder.htm"

Thanks for the links. I'll get on it.

"--NEXT - Castor Oil pack on your liver, all night for several nights in a row (at the minimum). You can alternate between the charcoal poultice and the castor oil pack nightly...or do one during the day and one at night."

Alright.

"--COFFEE ENEMAS - oh yeah! Dr. Gerson had patients in "high" detox doing 4 a day. 1 a day will help - 2 a day is MUCH better. Not only do coffee enemas increase bile flow, cleanse & detoxify your liver (a perfect "prep" for a liver flush!) - but they also increase peristaltic action in the intestines (assuring that what comes out of the liver exits your body quickly). BONUS: All the time the enema solution is retained, all the blood that's flowing through your liver is cleansed of free radicals!"

Alright, got a few questions, as this is pretty new to me.

Could you point me to some good directions on how to do enemas?

What kind of enema device should I use? The only ones I've seen around are those squirt bottle kinds like they sell at Wal-Mart. Should I look for the hanging bag kind?

What kind of coffee should I use? Will the caffeine cause a rush?

"I understand why you're reasoning/thinking this, but actually, just the opposite is true (IF you flush correctly). The more cleansed your liver is, the more effective it will be at removing toxins. You just need to ensure that you get ALL of "everything" that comes out of your liver from the flush - OUT of your digestive tract asap. If I were you, I'd be starting a liver flush series soon...quite possibly 1 per week (especially if you're not doing daily coffee enemas).

The best/easiest way to ensure your getting all the debris from your liver out of your intestinal tract is Epsom Salts...but perhaps they'd be too harsh on your kidneys right now (that are pulling a LOT of extra weight since your liver seems to be so compromised) - and they're dehydrating and can throw the electrolytes off balance. A colonic after each flush is probably not affordable. The solution? Coffee enemas to the rescue again! They not only cleanse your lower bowel, but also increase peristalsis throughout your intestinal tract. AND since they increase bile flow, they're perfect for ensuring that everything that was 'on the verge of coming out' of your liver/gallbladder, actually makes it's way out."

Sounds good. Is there anything additional I can do to support the liver? Like taking milk thistle for example? I really want to make sure I don't wake up hive hell again, or at least make sure it doesn't get any worse than what I already experienced.

"Insight - methinks you seriously need to prioritize your health & liver issues right now. I know you're stressed already with this 'hive issue', but I'd be amiss if I didn't add the following: every great natural healer (and some MDs) know that we NEVER see cancer unless the liver is compromised. Doing one protocol at a time, and 'bandaiding' things together as they crop up isn't likely to do the trick. If there's ANYTHING I can do to help you 'get on the right track', PLEASE don't hesitate to let me know!"

Thanks for the detailed reply, Unyquity. You've been a big help to me. I'm looking forward to applying all of these.

I sent you a PM, by the way.
