Allergy Experts

i need the link that you got it from …..thnks

Man became aware of me around 700 BC. Since ancient times I have been used as a food and as a medicine. For many years, I was used mainly in religious ceremonies as well as to embalm the deceased. I have long been known to have a multitude of healing powers with everything from relieving sore throats, allergies, to healing wounds. I taste great with peanut butter. I have as many antioxidants and phytochemicals as spinach, apples, oranges or strawberries. My main purpose is a great source of energy; athletes use me to maintain a consistent blood sugar levels. I also have cancer-preventing and anti-tumor properties. I have been used for years as an antiseptic for treatment of ulcers, burns and wounds. I am also a good source of vitamin B2, B6, iron and manganese. You must use me in the raw form; heat destroys all my health and nutritional benefits.

Hi i am an 18 year old male and have had allergies since i was about 7. Yesterday i went to a new general practitioner that one of my mom’s friends recommended. (dr. Kouji Takase)I went into the clinic and signed a few papers then he gave me a shot for the allergies, a flu shot, prescribed me lodrane 24d, and gave me a bottle of 5mg Prednisome. One of my friends who just happends to have took this drug before for allergies told me that it made him suffer severe side-effects and he wished he never took it at all. That kinda scared me so i have not taken it yet. The doctor told me to take 8 on days 1-2, 6 on days 3-4, 4 on days 5-6, and 2 on days 7-21 all after breakfast. I just want to know what are the side-effects of this drug and overall is this a good treatment for allergies?

I have had severe chronic asthma for as long as I can remember. I use about 5 different inhalers daily, am taking 2 preventative oral pills, and am having to take breathing machine/nebulizer treatments up to 8 times a day at home. I used to be hospitalized so often that the doctor recommended I just buy my own nebulizer…this has prevented hundreds of hospitializations. I cannot sleep more than 2 hours at a time without waking up coughing, struggling to breathe, and/or sinus congestion. This occurs EVERY DAY. I don’t know if I have ever gotten “a full night’s sleep” in my life. I am not exaggerating. All of this medication and suffering is wearing me out. I am about at the end of my “rope”. My allergist thought I should try Xolair, but I cannot afford it, the drug company won’t help me, and my insurance will not cover it. I want to know if anyone out there has suffered like this. What has helped you? Anything? I am feeling very depressed and suicidal. I have tried almost every medication possible, but would be willing to try something again if it has really made a difference in your asthma. I really need help. My husband and I even moved out of the country to a location that was “ideal” for asthma and allergies…this did not help. I don’t know what else to do. I am on so much medication I can’t even work. It gives me stomach aches and head aches, makes me very very jittery, and makes me irritable. I can’t do it anymore. I don’t know what else to do…neither do the doctors (except tell me to try Xolair with an out of pocket cost of $2000/mo! I would need 2 shots because my asthma is so severe). Anyway….I really appreciate your help!

While In the U.S. I would see an ENT for severe allergies and received Immunotherapy treatment. Does anyone where to go for this type of treatment in Cork, Ireland? Thanks…
I am under the belief such a person does not exist according to my GP.

Patient admitted 8 weeks ago for wheezing and sob,
Myocardial unit x 3 days ruled out congestion from chf and pneumonia and called it allergy related congestion
dc’d with xopenx 1.25 mgs q 4-6 atc / guafeninsin bid wheezing resolved with regular treatments
Nursing home dr lowered xopenex to .63 prn
Wheezing returned for a few weeks but within last week of few weeks, became labored breathing with little effects from xopenex Instead of starting prednisone as the xopenex website reccommends, she lowered tube feedings to 65 ml per hour to reduce fluids in the body and gave 1 day of lasix 40mg(even though patient was ruled out of chf congestion at hospital) A week later 10 days of prednisone started which relieved labored breathing and wheezing and need for regular xopenex treatments. TOday 16 days after reduced calories(1600 a day to 1300 a day) and 3 days post predisone patient is wheezing heavily 4 hrs post xopenex and has developed her reoccuring cellulitis which was resolved with the 80 ml per hr diet.
