Allergy Induced Asthma _{Page 7 of 11}

Thank you and I will denote everyday any and all changes.

I did want to make sure you know that he never took Calc Carb....he took Baryta Carb. I believe your message is still the same...that there was suppression taking place with a remedy which you believe made it his body more difficult to treat...correct? Does this mean that Baryta Carb was an incorrect remedy to give him? I would think this happens often in homeopathy.

What do you believe we have cured in giving my son Med...asthma, allergies, mild aspergers...any of these? Or is it just that Med has now cleared things in his body which will now let us begin to help him with these issues? I'm just trying to learn as we go.

Thank you for all your patience as I know I have lots of questions etc.

Well we continue as is...he basically is at a stand still from what I can see.

He continues to have times where he is trying to clear his throat but it is much more sporadic...not sure if its food/activity related but in the morning it is most definitely noticed.,,it does seem to increase each day.

In sports, he has to hold his shirt, like he is trying to hold his chest to help him manage breathing incapacity...he says that he doesn't have the stamina during sports.

His acne -- tad worse...he has oily face.

His appetite -- not good and not really bad but below average.

Oh yes, and he's constipated. Little balls and they are harder for him to get out and few at a time.

As I said earlier, my son gets car sick..can't do much in the car. Now I notice he seems to get hot and puts down the window to get air while in the car.

Dentist, my son continues to have issues with his enamel...he's had his two coated twice already and the dentist says that his enamel are eroding again...he's been bruising and flossing on a regular basis.


Its his birthday today and he isn't even elated about that. Its just like he's so sad and just wants to watch TV and play Xbox...doesn't want to be with friends.

I don't know if Med is doing anything more for him at this point...not seeing changes.

I will continue to post but in my reading I am strongly leaning towards Thuja. I keep reading that children born with jaundice automatically are susceptible to many other problems and typically need Thuja and Nat Mur at the beginning....what do you think?

He still has that clearing of the throat. I have notice that he is complaining less about his ankle but its as though its now the the bottom of his feet...they get sore when he plays sports...he walks gingerly on them.

Also, he seems to be more hot at night, sweating.

Mood -- unchanged. Still wants to keep to himself.

Same as per above...no change.

The one possible change is that he is complaining more about his feet. He went to soccer practice last night and came home looking as though he couldn't walk. Limping and sighing. It seems as though his complaints in the past of his archilles tendon down the lower back above his heel is not as much the issue...it is down below the archilles tendon and it is directly the heel of his foot. I rubbed some Traumeel on it and massaged each heel for 10 minutes a piece. The area was some sort of bone/muscle on the inside of his heel (not the bottom part of the heel but the side).

When I have mentioned stamina in the past I am not sure that is the correct term. He seems to indicate that it is more less a breathing problem. When he is running, his heart beats and his face gets red and harder for him to get the oxygen (I think) for his body to maintain an extended length of running.

Oh yes, I did forget to mention...the last few days there has been no more fingers in the mouth/biting nails.

Can you please acknowledge that you are staying abreast and what your current thoughts are. Thank you.

I wanted to have you look at this information...
http://www.shirinwadia.com/joint_heel.htm

It discusses Med 200C to address the problem my son may be having in his foot.

Does that mean he may need to go up to 200C or would Thuja (if this is the next suggested remedy) take care of this?

I just looked up Thuja and it looks like it definitely addresses heel pain.

I also found this article that discusses the use of THuja and relates it to Blood Count (which my son has very low red and white blood count)...this article I believe is very informative and makes me really feel quite strongly that Thuja should be given to my son. It looks like the body needs Nat Mur to follow to help support the body.

I have 30C Thuja and would like to give to my son.

Here's my thought and observations as of today.

Not sure what the reason you are having my son continue to have low energy, clearing of his throat, acne which have resulted from Med and not consider another remedy at this time. To practice this way would make many never want to consider homeopathy as they would see more of the negative affects and not the positive. Fortunately I do understand there is much benefit but I am very confused as to why we are still waiting this out.

The Good...
The one benefit my son has denoted is in his ability to attend more in class. I also notice that after the 2nd dose of Med he no longer talked as much by walking in circles (I mention that he typically did this). So from a cognitive perspective there has been some improvement. I will really be able to appreciate to what extent when I see his grades.

He doesn't seem cold any more...if anything maybe a little on the hot side.

Not biting his nails/putting his fingers in his mouth.

Can sit at dinner and doesn't get up to play with a ball.


The Same...
In terms of his dwarfism, asthma, allergies, energy level, blood flow, low blood pressure, acne, ankle/heel problems they continue to impact him.

Appetite not the best (may be just a tad worse). He still gets car sick and now he actually puts the window down as to say he needs fresh/cold air.

In terms of his talking loudly under his breath was temporary but he still has that muttering disposition when he is tired and irritable.

The numbness in his hand came and went...just temporary.

The Bad...
I do think that since the Med., he may be complaining a little more in regards to his muscle/body aches and his ankle/heel problems and he clearly is constipated which he has never been so for more than a few days.

Obviously the Med has resulted in much more acne than he's ever had.

His color was initially pale and then after the Med, there was a day when his coloring was very good...I would say that he is not ghastly white but he is pale in color.

I would say that I think he has also gotten worse in terms of his desire to do nothing other than watch TV, XBox or homework...its like he is too tired or has no desire to be with people...he's indifferent to all that is around him and he is just to weak to do much other than what he has to do....he's introverted and antisocial. I had notice about two years ago, that he began to be more like this and it has gotten worse little by little but then he began to improve a little with Baryta Carb and then it got bad again. I would say now it is the worse I've seen it and it may be that he is just so tired. I would definitely characterize him as WEAK -- muscular weakness...body weakness as opposed to mental weakness. Even when he's doing his homework, he wants to be in bed as opposed to the table or desk.

I have also notice that he may not be as thirsty as he use to. It's hard to tell what he's drinking in school and at sports but at home, I would say its less than his normal.

I think I may have mentioned this but there is something with him running now in sports. For example, in basketball he holds his shirt tightly in his hand and it is by the heart area...its like he is trying to squeeze his heart so it doesn't pump too much. I ran he's running I can see he gets red and it looks like he's not getting enough oxygen. He doesn't like to talk about this at all but he does say that he knows he can only run for a short distance and has to stop and catch his breathe. I am not a doctor so I am sure I'm not describing this properly but to me it gets back to the blood flow -- like something has gotten worse in terms of blood flow, oxygen or something...maybe circulation or both. I should mention that back in 2004 my son's doctor while listening to my son's heart, thought she detected a possible mitral valve prolapse and sent him for X-rays and it came back negative. When my son was younger he would mention that his heart felt funny and could not explain it. Still till this day, I think there is something going on but the doctor says that he may just have a heart arrhythmia.

His eyes response to light -- i think its light...how to explain it. He rubs his eyes and I'm not sure if its in response to light or change in light. I just don't know how to explain it...it's like it bothers his eyes. He's not helping me in this area as he's not aware of it. But then again he wasn't aware that he bites/puts his fingers in his mouth.

He's even more sad than I've ever seen him...makes me so sad.

Not singing anymore at all...makes me so very sad...i love his voice and he always did it in the shower. Doesn't even play basketball in his room or ping pong...nothing.

I'm sure I will think of other things but please ask questions that you may think could help. Don't forget if I have to order something it will take a week to get it. I would appreciate if we could at least begin to consider next remedy so I have some comfort that we are moving forward in the right direction.

Please respond to let me know you are still working with me on my son's case. Thank you kindly.

First, his stool. He use to go once and sometimes (not often) twice a day and he never had to push to make it come out. He said it was more rectangular than small round and hard like now. Yesterday he did not have a bowel movement but he just had one today. Still small, round and hard.

In terms of his heart, he is saying that it isn't palpitations and it just races because he is running....so this is more my observation then him denoting an issue. When in sports, he definitely looks like his face gets very red when running and it can't keep up with him...again my observation not his.

In terms of his asthma, its a little more difficult to say. I do know that by 8/2004 (so he was 6 yrs old), he saw an allergist/asthma specialist. He then tested him and classified him as very asthmatic...in fact he wondered how he was able to do as well as he had been doing. I told him it was because I noticed when he was very young that when he drank milk he would wheeze and get upper respiratory problems resulting in colds and bronchitis. I told him that my son drinks rice and soy milk since he was very young. He said he did not have but a moderate allergy to milk based on the tests but to continue to keep him off milk since it was helpful.
During this initial testing he recommended that my son use an inhaler for sports (albuterol was used) or when needed, stay off milk, and begin allergy shots. Needless to say, I tried supplements, vitamins etc. to help his system instead of allergy shots (one less invasion to his system). Unfortunately I loss the battle because 1 1/2 yrs ago his allergies affected too much with sports/playing outside to not have him do them.

I do know that we saw another asthma/allergist specialist when he was 11 yrs old and they put him on

Albuterol - 90 MCG (one year later we stopped...I was worried about his short stature and his asthma was doing better)

Cephalexin 500 Mg -- took for 2 for 10 days.

Flovent, 110MCG -- 2/day (stopped after 2 years)

Singular 5 mg Tablets - 1 tablet at bedtime (just stopped after Baryta Carbonica since he initially was doing so well.

Rhinocort Aqua 32 MCG -- 1 spray each nostril per day. stopped taking after 1 year.

Ventolin - 2 puffs prior to exercise and every 4 hrs as needed. He still takes today

We then switched back to the other Allergist and began allergy shots 1 1/2yrs ago (Oct 2010).

It's hard to say what has helped his allergies and asthma...The allergy shots may be helping...I just don't know. I think his body is just tired and working extra hard...it may have more to do with his blood and circulation (except this clearing of his throat thing), RBC/WBC and hemoglobin, iron...anemia. With his constipated stool, I would say his liver needs help.

All I know is the best I have seen my son from an energy perspective was for a short period in Oct. 2011 -- after Baryta. It was only a few weeks but I saw it...can't say how his emotional disposition was...I just don't know. I think 6th and 7th grades were the worse...I began to really notice more isolation in 5th grade. 8th grade it started off maybe a little better but its probably the worse now than ever.

When you say his symptoms have to stabilize, do you expect more changes to come in the next week? I thought mental changes happened typically before physical...since we've seen physical changes, could mental changes still happen? If not and the only changes could be physical in nature, why not address what we have to date.

In my humble opinion most of what we are trying to help him with has been there for a long time...not new. If his total picture was changing then I guess I could rationalize waiting for additional changes...but that clearly is not the case.

Don't forget he was burned jaundiced and his blood is still affecting him today (again, in my humble opinion). Don't forget I have observed him better after 1 week on MED in terms of his energy than he is now... so I can't imagine the Med is going to help him further in regards to this.

Please respond and let me know your direction. Thank you kindly.

The rectangular (his words) were before the Med...I don't believe his stool changed until he took the Med. But yes, also before Baryta Carb.

Yes, as noted, he is currently using ventolin but for sports only. He decides when to use it and when I asked he said that for practices, it depends on the practice and if it a light or heavy one and then for games he uses.

I want you to know...I just heard my son singing a little when he went up the stairs...not for very long but it was a few notes...that is good news.

I don't know if this is important or not but my son not only was jaundice he had cradle cap (my understanding is that this wasn't a big deal since many kids are born with this)...I just thought you might want to know.

As I was looking at all my information on my son to give you the details on his asthma, I did see a note that I had that I suspected that the DTAP shot may have a negative affect on my son.

Looking at his schedule he had the Dtap Vaccine on 04/98, 06/98, 09/98 and then on 10/03 and then Tdap on 07/09.
I don't have any specifics but thought it was worth noting.

Also, I wanted to comment on your initial comment that my son is Sycosis...when I look at the mentals, I think he is Psora, as discussed here. That's not to say he isn't also Sycosis but for the mentals, which I believe are quite pertinent right now, he stands out to me to be Psora.

NOW COMING TO THE MENTALS DEPENDING ON THE MIASMS :

The basic feeling in PSORIC people is that of ANXIETY , READY TO FEAR . There is a lot of Anxiety and APPREHENSION and they are ready to fear , Many fears in the mind at a time . They are generally timid , anxious with many thoughts in mind , IRRITABILITY and DESIRE TO ESCAPE from that place ( Situation ) ; Because of this , there is LACK OF CONFIDENCE and there is no performance in spite of having the quality and ability .

CALC – CARB is a typical picture of this PSORIC ANXIETY . They cannot take Decisions easily , there is a lot of CONFUSION from anxiety ; If a Psoric person is asked to drive a Car , he will first think - what if I get stuck in the middle of the Traffic ; what if someone comes suddenly in the middle of the road , could I be able to press the Brakes in time or not ; What if the battery suddenly goes down or if the wheel tires puncture suddenly etc ., Therefore , before driving he is thinking so many things and resultant is no action at all . And at the same time , he feels I am not able to take decision , I am getting confused and people will laugh at me .

SO , ANYWHERE WHEN THERE IS MUCH ANXIETY , APPREHENSION , IRRITABILITY , LACK OF CONFIDENCE , INHIBITION - it is PSORA .


The basic feeling in the SYCOTIC people is the feeling of being FRAIL , FRAGILE , FEAR OF BEING HURT , COWARDICE AND FEAR OF DEATH . So , the Sycotic person want to Strengthen and Cover-up . He is Covering up his weakness and becoming thick , he is putting up a Show , a Façade , hiding his weakness to deceive the World . He is a Brainy fellow and so shrewdly maneuvers his defenses . He Accumulates , Multiplies , holds not only Proteins , Water , Fat and Carbohydrates but also Money . Cheating , Bribing , Stealing , Talking Lies , Cunning-ness all comes here .

In SYCOTIC people there is always a FEAR that they will be Caught . So , they will be well trained and become very much Talented , and we do not know that they flick . This is an Art ; From an intact purse , the money disappears ! We never know . But always there is a constant fear .

So , SYCOSIS is based on FEAR , FRIGHT , INSECURITY , With LOVE for Life & FEAR OF DEATH , and they do it in order to Survive .

Thanks.

Dear Doctor,

I wonder often how much my son is hereditary versus vaccine...may be a combination of both, since hereditary factors can set you up for poor immune system etc.

I do want you to know that both my daughter and son both seem to suffer from something (different ailments with different symptoms but some similarities ) but never the less, I have to wonder how could both my children suffer.

This makes me feel like it is from me...I often thought I would not have children since I felt I was not a healthy individual - in many different ways. One thing that may have some affect...I don't' know, is that when I was 4 years old, I was paralyzed and was in a hospital an hour away from my home for 6 months...they thought at first it was polio and it was not...it was my legs, couldn't walk. In any event, after 4 to 6 months of testing etc. they called it Virus X 00 that's what they told my parents -- that was back in 1965. Now I believe they have a name for this virus and it is Guillain-Barre syndrome. In any event, I want to mention this as it may carry some hereditary nature -- don't know if it does.

Okay,
It continues...pretty much the same. I have already give you the good, the bad and the ugly per above. Haven't notice too much different since then except as noted below...

constipation -- he said, it is getting a little better...still round balls but larger and not as difficult to pass.

His mood is a tad worse. Energy no change, acne, may be a tad better...questionable. Energy and muscles...not changed. He is very stiff and tight, and he eventually loosen ups when he plays soccer but it takes time. I have been massaging him the last two weeks which has helped...I have been putting traumeel (contains arnica) on his ankles and outer soles which helps him. Also likes neck and upper back massage.

I am still pretty surprised that we are not addressing his clearing of his throat...it still continues, maybe less in frequency but it has not gone away. He has never ever had something that has lingered this long.

Back in 2008, my son received from a local homeopathy (if you can call her that -- really a chiropractor who is licensed to dispense homeopathic remedies -- she does seem to be knowledgable of the remedies but she tends to dispense based on constitutional personality. She gave my son the remedies I mentioned back in 2008. She stated that his constitutional is Rhus Tox.

As I was writing this I looked it up and I would like to give my son another dose (he had 200C in 2008), I think it may help him with a number of his ailments. this was an interesting article.
rhus-t..." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://hpathy.com/materia-medica/a-day-in-the-life-of-rhus-t....

I should also mention that our backyard is loaded with poison ivory and we have all had it at one time or another...including my son. We typically have it sprayed every other year but it is all through the woods which my son goes into all the time (although we tell him not to because of the poison ivory. We will never be able to get rid of it because it is in the backyard of our neighbors and they choose not to do anything with it.

So, it seems as though Rhus Tox includes clinical applications like, chicken pox, allergies, asthma, muscles/tendons, herpes and the list goes on.

This may at least help direct the cure and if nothing else help with some of his issues he is presenting with (after he took in 2008, it did seem to result in less asthma and allergy issues...at that time he didn't have the extent of the tightness he now has so I can't speak to that.

I am going to order 200C as I only have 30C and I think since he has already had the 200C, I should keep at that potency.

Are you okay with this direction. It seems as though we continue to be at a standstill and we are not addressing.

thank you.

I know I mentioned it on 03/03 -- twice -muscle/body aches and later I was muscle weakness...I guess I am now calling it stiffness because the more I observe it looks like stiffness. He has to stretch. Also, when he plays sports you can see him going on the field/court, like he's stiff and you would wonder if he can even run at all. He runs but not well at all and it takes a considerable time before he loosens up. The more I think about it, the more I guess I would say tight and stiff.

Also a slight reference on 2/14 in terms of his legs having growing pains and his neck bothering him. Again, at that time is was not the stiffness and tightness I am seeing now. I have seen this before (the past few years but this is definitely the worse it has ever been.

And quite frankly I think he had gotten better after the Baryta Sul or some other remedy because this fall I didn't notice it at all when he played soccer -- I did notice it this past summer though and previous two years. AGain, this is much worse now and it is more obvious that it is a tightness/stiffness.

Also, I should mention that he is still constipated (he hasn't gone at all today) and that I believe is new -- in that I don't remember ever thinking he was a constipated person.

Pretty much I think everything else is just at a stand still...clearing of throat, acne, mood, cognitive ability, energy level etc.

I was beginning to think you forgot about my son. How much longer are you expecting us to wait before we help him past all this?

Thank you

I forgot to mention his foot pain...definitely still there. It's like his heels get sore and he can't bear weight on it....walks very funny after any sport.
[message edited by l471530 on Tue, 13 Mar 2012 00:50:25 GMT]

Another item...don't forget I mention his sensitivity to light -- at least thats what it seems to be...he squints his eyes and rubs them. He never had this happen prior to Med...definitely this is new.
[message edited by l471530 on Tue, 13 Mar 2012 01:44:23 GMT]

I also wanted to let you know that we should not forget about my son's low blood pressure and his passing out. I have not yet taken my son to get his blood tests nor his allergy shots because he's not happy about it -- it never wants to say he is afraid of anything but I read it in his face and he got really mad when I said we need to do these things (get back to allergy shots and take blood test

He's never liked pain or needles and that is exactly why I never wanted to do the allergy shots except for the fact that I tried everything else to no avail.

Just wanted to make sure we don't overlook this. Thank you.

Update...
Apparently my son went #2 last night before going to bed and I just found out that it was more normal in consistency. He still hasn't gone this evening (he use to always go before or after dinner), he said he thought he had to go and tried but nothing. It may be trying to correct itself finally.

Also, my today was caught biting his nails again...he had gone so long without doing it and he has begun again.

His acne looks a tad better today.

I should also mention, that my son has a lot of freckles on his nose and around his upper cheeks -- which is unusual for us italians...at least at the young age and he's had them since he was quite young -- usually more from sun damage and as we age--maybe he caught sun damage..just thought I would mention. He has a few small moles on his face and body parts but not like his sister who has a lot more.

Anyways, I wanted to update you.

Thanks.

My son had to do a project with another student and they were taped so I was able to see it. It reminded me about an observation I've always had but haven't thought too much about with the other issues he has going on

My son was born to drool. He constantly drooled as a baby and toddler. It was so bad I remember having him wear a bib all the time and changing it throughout the day because it would be so wet. As he got older, I didn't see him drool in the day as much but I would remember he would drool all night and his pillowcases got changed everyday up until maybe a few years ago -- it may be we went from dark blue sheets to white sheets -- the blue sheets would show white marks all over them from his drool and the white doesn't show it. In any event, while I was watching this tape and listening to my son and the other young man, it reminded me that I would always think he had some sort of paralysis with his tongue...as it didn't always move well. This is reflected in his speech and was why I always thought he had trouble pronouncing many words. My daughter would always say...mom, he has a speech problem can't you hear it...and I would say, he will grow out of it. I wouldn't say he has a speech problem, but I would say that his tongue action has played a role in both his drooling and speech.

It stands out in my mind and I wanted to mention it.

Seems to be talking more with friends.

He didn't go #2 yesterday at all...although he now telling me that its not unusual for him to go everyday.

He's not only putting fingers in his mouth, he's picking his acne again and now picking at his toenails. Lots of picking.

I still continue to use traumeel on his ankles and heels.

Thank you.

Good News!!!
My son actually went to someone's house to hang out with for a little bit before going to his school for some activity night. Yes, this is progress. He was singing a little today.

He's still constipated, acne is still there, biting his nails still...but his mood seems better today.

I did want to let you know what my latest theory is. I have seen a direct correlation between when my son was first given some serious homeopathy by a doctor and when he began to socially change. It was right after 2008. It is my opinion that my son had asthma, allergies, some cognitive issues, and stunted growth as a result of mercury poising. It was not until he received the homeopathy on these occasions that his body was jolted in a way that it began to detox. As he was beginning some of this detox, he was also becoming sicker, weaker, sadder and more introverted.

Here's the initial remedies that began to chelate his system of mercury (IMO)
Doctor prescribed
8/25/08 -- 200C Iodum, 200C Rhus Tox 200C Apis Mel.
10/7/08 -- 200cBryonia and Gelseminum

I don't know if you are aware of Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt but he's a leading doctor in the area of Autism and Chronic illness.

He strongly advocates for Methallothionine during the chelation process. Here's a reference
http://books.google.com/books?id=Ye20bhPzFdcC&pg=PA175&a...

Do you think I should be giving my son Spirulina (I know he was using Charcoal which helps) -- just curious.

He's a protocol he came up with and shared in 2006...
http://www.collegepharmacy.com/images/download/Extended_Klin....

Thank you.

Do we have any idea what are next steps might be...even if you tell me it's been over 40 days since Med but we don't have enough to go on...I'm feeling out of the loop as to how you are approaching this.

No School for him today --
He's been picking his acne much more the last few days...today its been quite bad...making it very red. The amount of acne has decreased especially on his cheeks and some of the acne is now getting white pus inside --they look less inflamed. Still a lot of oil on his nose with new acne in this location.

Today, he is having more trouble like he use to with directing himself...especially trying to do his homework. He continues to want to lay down all the time, xbox or TV at home. His energy level is still not good...we have incredible weather outside and he won't even go out to shoot hoops or anything.

Clearing of the throat continues...pretty much unchanged. Heel still bothers him.

Any update would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for responding.

I read both articles and have read the Murell article many times...leads me to more questions than answers though.

The first article does remind me the need for patience but I think the reasons I struggle so much are twofold...
1. differs greatly to my previous experience with any homeopaths.
2. I find changes which I believe are inconsistent with 'it is working and so continue to wait'. For example, why did the anxiety level go down for a while and now it is back up and the same with his throat issue...that is not indicative of the remedy still working....this is a red flag in my mind that I need your help in explaining it. I feel like this is maybe telling us its time to up the potency. Another issue, although I can at least reason in my mind if I have to...is why haven't I seen much change at all with his need to constantly be laying around, whether its doing his homework, TV or Xbox...and why is he still not having any energy to do much else. I still don't know how you know the Med is working versus just nature trying to work through his system.

In terms of Rhus Tox, you are probably right but at the same time, don't forget that even Morell's article specifically mentions problems with miasmatic remedies and what they see in clinical situations...
Clearly, if all chronic disease is miasmatic then surely all curative remedies must be miasmatic remedies. Thus Nux vom, Aconite, Bella donna and Rhus tox, etc cannot cure any chronic disorders. So what if they do cure such conditions? Does this prove the theory wrong or are they bigger remedies than people thought?

As clinical application has shown that intact they do.

As long as I know that you have not forgotten us, I will try to be more patient. Can you please help me to understand better how his initial decrease in anxiety and his throat with now a setback is not indicative that it is time to address a change. There are times when I am so hopeful that I see change, but as I explained above, these questions make me wonder if they are red flags.

For your information...my husband told me this evening that my son went to soccer practice this evening and he looked like he had some of his old energy back. This may just be one of the signs I need...not seeing it at home that is for sure...but I'll take it whenever I can get it.

I will stop the Traumeel immediately. I have been trying to be so careful in doing only what is best for my son. It's just that he was struggling and we have used in the past with success. I will just massage with no ointment.

Thank you so much for your response. I do want you to know that there clearly has been positives.

Oh yes, I was speaking with my husband this evening and explaining to him my concerns with allergy shots and how they may negatively affect what we are doing with homeopathy. Can you please give me your opinion if we should hold off on his shots. He has not gone back since he past out and has taken the Med. I am questioning whether or not we suspend and see how his treatments with homeopathy go. I know his allergist will not be happy but I need to do what's best for my son. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Thank you again for all your time and energy. I do always keep you and your son in my prayers. I do wish for his success in getting back to school.

Thanks again.

Today's update

Clearing of throat is turning into more of a cough he had initially when taking med. Also, he is getting new acne on his cheek. Little bumps - not pus filled or cyst like - also not black or white heads.

All else seems the same.

This morning, my son woke up and said that he has post nasal drip again and now his throat is burning. It is probably allergies kicking in.

I did not hear back to you with regard to allergy shots...do you have an opinion?

Thank you.

So I believe you are not advocating for allergy shots. I think we may lean towards that but then I would like to know that you will not let him suffer through the symptoms of allergies as you hope that Med is doing what it needs to to clear other problems.

Two other notes today. My son was drinking orange juice the last few days -- he said he has been craving it. I typically limit him to one glass a day because when he was younger he was allergic to oranges. He hasn't drank orange juice in about six months so I find it interesting that he now is drinking again.

Also, if you remember I said that my son use to talk while walking in circles...he stopped doing that after Med...well he started doing it again today.

Also, the last few days my son has increased his thirst significantly this past week and I forgot to mention it. I noticed it last weekend and this weekend...when he's home more, not in school.

I guess I'm confused as I am seeing a total different picture than you are.

I have been holding off the testing because he's afraid he's going to pass out when they take his blood. I have to go out of town the next two days and will arrange to do so later this week.

I am hoping you are correct with how you are interpreting everything because I am not sure about the household mold. My husband did speak with two different companies and we discussed what we did in the past and the testing we received and they felt comfortable with the status...mold has been rectified. I will let my husband know you are still suspecting mold (can you explain why you think this?) and that we should get the house retested.

Need to add that today he's been sneezing a lot -- hasn't done that in a very long time -- not even last summer since allergy shots.

Also, can you not only explain why you think mold and that it can't be just mercury. I'd appreciate it very much.
