Skin allergy?

i have this skin allergy problem which haunts my life in these recent 4 years. I usually end up with chronic hives. I go to dermacologist every once in a while for steroid injection to flatten some of the blemishes...





unfortunately i have not identified what is the main cause of the skin allergy i suffer... nor do i went for allergy prick test. i usually got some skin problem whenever i travel around...





is there any way to cure the allergy forever? or is there any way to prevent the outbreak from happening?





thanx

Skin allergy?
Hi Kersing





Here is an unusual but very effective method to heal many issues (especially skin).


 


INTRODUCTION TO OIL PULLING ("OP")


REPORTED CURES WITH OIL PULLING:





Mouth %26amp; Gum Disease; Stiff Joints; Allergies; Asthma; Acne, High Blood Sugar; Constipation; Migraines; Bronchitis; Eczema; Heart, Kidney, Lung Diseases; Leukemia; Arthritis; Meningitis; Insomnia; Menopause (hormonal issues); Cancer; AIDS; Chronic Infections; Varicose Veins; High Blood Pressure; Diabetes; Polio; Cracked Heels,.





Here's are a few paragraphs from Bharat Savur's article on The Hindu Business Online





..."When Dr Karsch examined the swished milk-white oil under a microscope with 600 magnification, he saw live organisms swimming in it. It's poisonous, so never swallow it, he warns. These poisons are bacteria-embryos, which, if not eliminated, cause diseases. Apparently, Dr Karsch cured his own chronic blood disease and 15-year-old arthritis.





The first sign of improvement is in the teeth-they become firm and white, he says. Other healing indications: fresh, relaxed feeling on waking up, disappearing dark pouches below the eyes, anew appetite and energy, better memory and deep sleep.





Dr Karsch swears by the mouth oil-wash for anything from organ-disorders, skin-diseases, menstrual problems, paralysis to every ache and it is in the human anatomy. You can swish even when you have fever, he says, adding, it takes anything from two days to a year to cure a disease.





And if these claims sound exaggerated, he told a conference of Ukrainian cancer specialists, try out the process yourself.





Interestingly, Ayurveda advises oil swishing "to purify the taste-buds and the entire system", as explained by Dr Deepak Chopra in Perfect Health.





According to this life science, the tongue is mapped by organ-locations — that is, each section of the tongue is connected to the kidneys, lungs, spleen, liver, heart, pancreas, small intestines, stomach, colon, and spine.


Thus, an oil-mouth-massage soothes and stimulates the key meridians where taste meets organ. Simultaneously, as in any skin-massage, the inner skin and lining of the mouth, palate and tongue become warm and supple and the lubrication prevents dryness (the vatic effect).


In modern dietetics too, dryness is discussed.





For example, lack of Vitamin A (retinal) causes the outer lining of the eyeball to dry and wrinkle, and affects vision.


And as any dietician would tell you, all oils contain 960 micrograms of vitamin A per 10 gm (the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A per adult is 600 micrograms). So, it's possible that oil gargling helps in reaching the required retinal to the eyeballs and keeps them elastic and smooth.


Likewise, the Ayurvedic `purification of taste-buds' also has its equivalent in dietetics as `antioxidants'. Oxidation literally means `the putrefaction of body-tissues'.





And oil-soluble vitamins, A, C, D, and E are antioxidants that protect and prevent the decaying process and help maintain the integral functioning of cell membranes. That's why many people are ingesting vitamin E pills to stem `aging' (oxidation). "

Best of health to you
Reply:I seriously don't think going back for steroid injections can help cure your skin allergy problems forever.





Have you identified what is triggering your allergy symptoms? Is it food or dust mites or pollen? If you can reduce your exposure to them, then the frequency and severity of your outbreaks will reduce.





Also, proper diet and a healthy lifestyle contributes to overall health. Avoid eating processed foods and drinking sodas.
Reply:I had the same problem and it turned out to a sensativity to Gluten(Celiac Diease), they do not check for it in the prick test. Are you having any other health problems? stomach problems? etc?
Reply:Here is something to try. I had chronic hives for years and went on atkins diet to lose weight and hives stopped. I was then diagnosed with celiac disease which is a gluten intolerance. Gluten is found in wheat, barley and rye. You can get a blood test for celiac but you have to be eating gluten at the time of the test. Or you can just stop eating the products and see if the hives stop. If it isn't celiac, it could be another food additive so just try eating non-processed foods.
