I did other things than allergy shots (because I talked to a lot of
people who did them and only a few thought they helped much) but I
really do want to encourage everyone whose child is allergic or who is
allergic to treat the allergy directly. Even though the allergies are
often entirely due to mercury, they are real, miserable, and can be
made MUCH better by all of traditional medicine, alternative medicine,
and nutritional supplements. The meds, treatments and supplements
lead to much more rapid relief than simply doing detox, though the
detox does eventually get rid of the problem entirely. There is no
reason to suffer for a few years while your body forgets to make
antibodies to innocuous things like pollen.
Allopathic things that help:
Antihistamines. Many people have to try a lot before they find one
that is not depressive or sedating. Personally I did literally try
every single prescription and OTC antihistamine, and found all but the
last one I tried (allegra) to have intolerable side effects. I am
really glad I didn't give up before I tried that last one!
Accolate. This particular medication, but not its competitors, lowers
the general level of allergic sensitivity while it is being taken. It
has to be taken continuously. It is absorbed better on an empty
stomach, so if it is impractical to give it between meals, just get a
double dose.
Steroid inhalers. Even for people who are not asthmatic, these
greatly reduce the tiredness associated with allergies. They are a
bit of a chore to use, or to get children to use. Despite AMA dogma
to the contrary, they work better as dosage is increased beyond the
"maximum."
Allergy shots. For those who find the irrationality of AMA dogma
entertaining, these contain what would be called 6X to 6C homeopathic
remedies if you got them at the health food store or "witch doctor's"
office. Like 6X-6C homeopathic remedies, they are effective in
pushing the immune system around.
Supplements are C, magnesium, calcium and the B-12/folate/(choline or
TMG) mixture that jacks up methylation. or SAMe if you don't mind the
cost or the B-12 etc doesn't work.
Acupuncture or equivalent herbs are very helpful for some people.
NAET and TBM treatments have been discussed on list and are pretty
helpful.
Eating locally produced honey year round is supposed to reduce pollen
sensitivity.
And of course if you wash the kid and clothes a lot, keep the windows
closed and run an air filter you get rid of a lot of allergy problems
by getting rid of the allergens.
Also, people with extreme and variable allergy problems really ought
to check their plasma cysteine level.

great deal....I started this before I learned all this otherbad

sick less often..he used to have chronic sinuse infections. My
feeling sick all the time is better and my depression is better. So
for us the shots are really helping. Allergies also run in my family
pretty bad and I have alot of airborne allergies and was never
treated for them as a child. Growing up in school I had a really
learning disablities which now I feel there is a connection betweenheavy
learning problems, developmental delays, allergies, ect to this
metal stuff. I am learning slowly...we will get there. But ISo
wonder if my own brain isn't damaged...there are some things I can't
do no matter how much I work of them...spelling is slowly getting
better but I can't do math...I get numbers and sysbloms mixed up.
many problems...I just don't want Nate to end up like me.mold

I don't think most allergy shots contain mercury, but its
wise to ask. but why are you taking allergy shots when you havelimited
income?? I had allergy shots which didn't help much and I'venever
seen any evidence that many are helped much by allergy shots. Butafter
I dealt with my mercury problem, my lifetime chronic dust and
bigallergies just went away. with allergies I think its mostly a
wastechronic toxicity/immune reactivity problem that overwhelms theimmune
system so it can't deal even with the little stuff. and people
taketheir time and money trying to deal with the litttle stuff thatisn't
really the basic problem; Unload the immune system and it can
thecare of the little stuff. so the big question I think is what is
big
