Allergy Cure!

[lizerdbits]

Per recent skin tests (serum IgE pending) I may be allergic to dairy, soy and wheat, which would explain a lot of recent problems. So I'm online over the weekend looking at different recipes free of those items (I'm supposed to avoid them for 2 weeks to see if things improve) and like many of you I can't resist clicking on the miracle cure ad just for laughs. I discovered something amazing! Allergies are caused by disruptions in the body's energy fields, not silliness like IgE and the release of histamine by mast cells. One person shares their touching story of being cured of allergies to things like (and I am NOT making this up) amino acids, magnesium, seratonin, vitamin C and a few B vitamins. See for yourself:

First your practitioner will identify the substances you are allergic to. I have had this done in two ways. Many of my allergies were identified through muscle testing, a procedure which I’ve found to be quite accurate. As I mentioned above, your practitioner will know if you are sensitive to a substance because your arm will weaken when he places pressure on it.

I’ve also had my allergies identified through the use of a computerized allergy testing device. The practitioner touches your skin with a type of wand that emits the electromagnetic frequency of many different food and environmental substances. This device measures and records, using numbers between 50 and 70, whether or not you are sensitive to a substance.


Depending on the energy based program your practitioner uses, he/she will probably first test you for sensitivity to a “primary collection” of substances. The substances in the primary collection will most likely represent important nutrients that the body needs to function properly, as well as toxins that can seriously harm the body. This collection can include a variety of: foods, minerals, vitamins, metals, chemicals, and even detergents.


Next, your practitioner will place the allergen (energy frequency tube) in your energy field by asking you to hold a particular vial. He/she will then stimulate certain acupuncture points on your body, using either his hands, a device called an arthrostim, or even a cold laser (I’ll discuss the laser in more detail in another section). After treating your acupuncture points, your practitioner will muscle test you again to see if you are cleared of the allergy.


If you are not clear after the muscle test(if your arm is weakened during muscle testing), your acupuncture points will be worked on again. If you are clear, you will leave the practitioner’s office and be re-tested on that substance in the near future to see if your treatment “held.” Most energy based approaches have you avoid the substance for which you were just treated for a period of time. This requirement depends on the approach followed by your practitioner.

Really, read the whole thing it's hilarious. :rofl:

1. I had a patient that went bonkers when we tried to give her IV Electrolyte replacement

see, she was taking all these supplements that pretty much ruined her kidneys and liver, her electrolytes were all fucked up and dangerously high and dangerously low.

So her potassium levels (which should be between 3.5-5) were around 2.5--pretty low. SO we were replacing her potassium. We were going to replace her Magnesium as well but I can't remember what that was. Anyway, we had hooked up the IV and I was hanging the bag of Normal Saline with Potassium in it, and she asks me what it in the bag.

I told her "Saline and some potassium replacement"

She gets this look on her face like I'm putting vomit in her veins and screams "OH NO YOU'RE NOT!" and rips out the IV.

She then proceeds to tell me that she's "Deathly allergic" to Sodium Chloride, Potassium, and Magnesium, in addition to nearly every other elecrolyte found in the body.

I asked her how she could be allergic to potassium and sodium, when they're the two most abundant 'lytes in the body. She went on and on about how they weren't the most abundant in HER body, and that she gets all the minerals and vitamins she needs through supplementation.

So, I had to call the MD because if we didn't give her replacement, she very well could have gone into cardiac arrest. The doctor's like "How the hell can she be allergic to potassium? She's MADE of potassium practically"

Eventually she signed herself out AMA (Against Medical Advice)---why come to the hospital if you don't want to be, you know, fixed? Anyway, she signed out AMA, went home, took her stupid supplements, came in a week or so later with the same symptoms, continued to refuse lyte replacement and died from a massive heart attack because of her lyte imbalance.

2. Le sigh.

Some people are literally too stupid to live..:(

3. So for a while

everyone at work was like "oh no no no..I'm sorry, I can't take this assignment, I'm allergic to Potassium. This is just NOT going to happen" or "No, I couldn't possibly chip in for a pot luck. I'm deathly allergic to potassium".

8. I had one just like her

only what she swore were her vitamins was actually a huge bottle of high dose Lasix from Mexico.

This is such a grey area. It's hard to find a psych doc willing to pink paper these people and hold them for an evaluation unless they're actually holding a weapon. A bottle of pills that kills them slowly doesn't seem to qualify.

We confiscated the Lasix, of course, but I'm sure she found more and keeled over on the street.

4. Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch!!!

You should post this in the health forum.

5. I can imagine

Within minutes of posting, someone will blame the poor woman's death on evil Western medicine which doesn't train doctors and nurses at all in nutrition and simply wants to force their paternalistic hierarchial paradigm on everyone when it's plain common sense that everybody's bodies are different. And did you know that doctors kill 400,000 people a year just so they can get kickbacks from Big Pharma?

10. Ray Comfort was wrong

The banana is the woo's worst nightmare. They're yellow (for CAUTION), packed with potassium, and can sneakily deliver that payload without needles. They're not even natural fruit, but genetically modified manually by Del Monte, Dole, and Chiquita... ie, Big Banana.

11. Big Banana?

Wait until you see Big Pineapple, it was built to be a tourist attraction in queensland Australia. And yes it is basically a big pineapple. It was followed by Big Orange in South Australia. Big Fruit is taking over the world from its secret base in Australia. Only Big Yak and its loyal minions stand in its way.

13. Big Pineapple?

Until today, only Drop Bears kept me from visiting Oz. Your flora is even scarier than your fauna, dude!

14. See Australia before you die...

right before you die. Nah it's cool we only have the most venomous snakes and the most venomous spiders, the platypus is venomous too and the kangaroo can kick you to death. Koalas have powerful arms and claws so don't get too close although they are more likely to urinate on you than claw you to death.

Then there are the crocodiles and the box jellyfish although the latter are confined mostly to the northern waters. The south has the blue ringed octopus and the portroguese man o' war can turn up anywhere as can the sea snakes which are more venomous than the land snakes. The red-back spider which is practicaly the same as your black widow (except it has you know a red back) won't kill you unless you are very old, very young or infirm so it's relatively harmless by comparison.

Despite all this we survive. like a nation of Colonel KIlgore's.

16. Believe me, I want to LIVE there

I've long had this romantic idealization of Australia, I'd love to stake my tent there for good. My missus however, would probably see something in her first 5 minutes that'd make her shriek and scramble back into the plane :D

15. Big Banana

I think Big Yak has found an ally...


or is it... BIG GNU IN DISGUISE??

[charlie]

17. Big Banana doesn't want allies

Certainly not smelly ill-tempered allies. Big Banana is charming. Big Banana wants to be your friend. You'll never know what hit you.

6. I went on a what/gluten/dairy/legume-free diet,

as an attempt to fight the MS (not a Woo Miracle Cure!- it was to do with certain thing mimic-ing things which the T-cells would attack in the brain and thus stimulate the autoimmune system to attack the central nervous system leading to more demyelination.)

Anyhoo, there are some great recipes once you adjust your thinking and I certainly felt a lot better when not eating bread, dairy and other stodge.

7. The GI issues are declining after 4 days

I've been digging around an old Thai cookbook since there's really no dairy (though I think that's due to lactose intolerance, not allergy). As long as I avoid recipes with soy sauce or condiments containing it and noodles with wheat flour there aren't really many modifications required. There's a big Asian market near me that has TONS of different kinds of rice and noodles that I will be visiting this weekend.

9. Rice vermicelli does work with spaghetti sauce

and I think it's a lot nicer than that corn stuff at the health food store.

The texture is better, anyhoo.

[lizerdbits]

12. I'll have to give that a try

Most of what I've seen so far for pasta substitutes in regular grocery stores are rice flour pastas. I've tried a few and they seem to break apart easily, but I may have overcooked it due to lack of experience. Whole Foods has some quinoa/corn mix pastas, is that what you were referring to?
