For Denise, re: MCS
Hi, Denise!
Good to see you here!
If you recall, in a somewhat longer post at the MCS forum about 5 months ago, i suggested that one needs to :
AVOID the stuff one reacts to at least temporarily
Maintain a calm and grateful ATTIUDE
Rebuild one's ALKALINE reserves
Also...a few emergency tools can help!!!!
So, first question...do you know what is setting you off, and can you reduce your exposure to it for the present??? That should perhaps be discussed at the MCS forum rather than here.
Secondly, according to the thinking here at the Ask Moreless forum, the tissues that are becoming inflamed are too acidic, and you do not have enough alkaline mineral reserves to handle the exposures you mention as triggers for symptoms.
The baths, alkalising drink, dietary and activity changes recommended here have made a huge difference for me, far more than cleanses, supplements, etc. It takes a bit of use of the search feature to learn about these, but is well worth the time and effort.
Educating yourself regarding what truly excellent food is and can do for you, how to find and/or grow it, and what one can do meanwhile to begin healing and reduce symptoms then acting on what you learn here should help. That is how I continue to go from one improvement to another.
The principles apply across all illnesses, so that anyone with inflammation of the mouth and nose may have some ideas for temporary symptomatic relief. And you can always ask questions...best to direct them to the whole forum not just to me. Others may have info or ideas that will help!
Welcome!
