Vitamin C helps me get rid of hives!!

For years, I have gotten hives that have been life threatening. One time, the hives were so bad that they distorted my face, in to my lungs, and I was mostly a mass of red on my body within just a few minutes of the onslaught of the hives. More than once, I thought I would have to go to the hospital and since I do not have insurance, that was a very big problem for me.

I am one of those persons that cannot take medicine but I can take vitamins and natural cures. My mother had tried to get me to take more vitamin C for a cough that I had and somewhere I learned about taking vitamin C for allergies. I got Vit. C at Trader Joes Grocery Store in California for around $3.00 for 100 tablets, 500 mg per tablet with bioglavonoids, and that is about the best purchase I have ever made. When the hives start coming on, I take from 2 - 5 tablets depending on how severe the hives are. If I have taken enough tablets, in about 15 minutes the hives will start to abate. If the hives don't start abating in 15 minutes, I take more. Usually, the hives will be gone in about 30 minutes once they start abating.

Vitamin C may have saved my life more than once. I have moved and I haven't gotten hives in my new location. There was something that I was very allergic to where I lived before and certain times of the year I would tend to get hives. I was also allergic to dyes in soaps, dish detergents, hand creams, etc.
The Vitamin C really worked for me.

As I mentioned above, Vitamin C also helped me with a chronic cough that I had for years. By taking more Vitamin C, the chronic cough has finally gone away. I will cough a little here or there, but it is not the nagging embarrassing cough that I used to have.

Hope this helps.
