Chronic hives

bwb
I have had hives for almost three years now. Every antihistimine and stomach pill (that has a histimine blocker) has been tried. The only relief I have gotten was when I went on Cyclosporine for six moths. This is an antirejection drug. I do not want to stay on this, but have been off of it for five months now, and hives are starting to return. Sometimes they are red splotches on my skin, other times they are thick welts, both itch unreal. My eyes, lips and feet swell also. My eyes and lips swell till I look like someone has beat me...Any sugestions???

I have been trying to find help for my husband who suffers from this. Nothing has changed in our lives and he gets them every mornig and night. I don't care to put him on western medicine as I am a western practitioner myself and I know that it's just a bandaid for the symptoms. The hives will come back.

I have done acupuncture and also have put him on Chinese herbal medicine. He says he stops itching as soon as I put the needles in the points I chose and that he is 70% better overall. However,  he does still itch. His itching episodes have decreased in time as well. He is on no other medication.

I hope this helps someone. I saw how miserable he was when it was 100%. Now he runs after me with the acupuncture needles when it's time for another boost in helping him with his hives.

For everyone that is wondering why hives get worse at night, it's because our natural antihistamine levels drop at night. It's also common to get fevers. Your body temperature is out if whack and not regulating itself.

Drinking alcohol is a huge DON'T. This will make everyone's hives worse!

If this is happening to your kids, you have got to start feeding them an organic vegan diet and I do NOT mean noodles, oatmeal, etc. No grains! No wheat! No dairy! No flour! No garbage!
The kids need to get used to vegetables and fruits. The occasional fish and rice dinner is good too. Freeze strawberries, blueberries, spinach, and use these for smoothies. Kids love smoothies. Eat RAW as much as possible. We are designed to pull the raw carrot out of the ground which has cancer preventing dirt on it, that you should eat. Snacks should be raw broccoli, raw carrots, and some organic dip. You get the idea.

If you can get the kids to drink lots of water and green tea, that would help. I also believe what I said about cleansing, would be possible and beneficial in child form. For children I strongly reccomend a parasite cleanse FOR KIDS, then immediately after, a liver cleanse. Once that's done, empty the heavy metal toxins from their bodies by, yes you guessed it, a cleanse!

Turn the air down or heat down at night to cool off the house. Take colloidal oatmeal baths in luke warm water, then go take your ranitidine and cetrizine with a big glass of water.

Hello everyone. I am going to help you get rid of your chronic hives. I had them everyday for over 4 years. Prednisone was the only thing that worked. NOW I am on NO meds, and my hives are 80-90 percent better and have been for about a year.

Ladies, stop taking birth control with hormones. I guarantee this is making your hives much, much worse. Try the para guard or do what I do, cycle beads. They work and are what our ancestors used for hundreds of years. Sometimes life requires a little self control, but it's very much worth it.

Next, I did a lot of research to find out about blockers and inhibitors for cells and I came up with a combination that will knock anyone's allergies out. It's called cetrizine with maximum strength ranitidine. Take it EVERY night. Once you see the hives decrease, take it every other night.

Next, you have to cleanse your body. Dr Hulda Clark has a parasite cleanse you should do FIRST, then a liver cleanse, then a kidney cleanse, and especially after being on prednisone, a gallbladder cleanse.

Your body needs reset. This is essential.

Next, look at what your eating. Now open your mind before your answer this question, Is it real food? Cows milk, not meant for HUMANS, meant for baby cows. Bread, NOT food. Man made garbage. 95% of all chronic illnesses today are caused by the weakening of cells from putting garbage into our bodies. Think about it, would you put vegetable oil in your gas tank? It would ruin your car. Dont care more about your car than you do about yourself.

I'd like for you all to check out Ted Slanker and Natural News. Google them.

Now go out and get organic body wash or Aveeno. Dove has one kind that is okay and it has a #1 dermatologist recommended logo on it.

Now in ALL seriousness, you are dehydrated and you don't know it. The only thing you should be drinking right now is water and green tea and you should be drinking A LOT OF WATER!!! I can't stress that enough.

If you do this stuff, the hives will go away.

yes I have itchy rashes on the sides of my face and jawline. they first get itchy and then leave a red hive like bump that last for a day or so.  The redness only fades somewhat and then it will reappear again. Its a rash that never goes away.  I have thought I have demodex mites because I have rosacea and the treatment is the same for scabies...Invermectin.  Ive heard it can make the mites stir because they are dying and all symptoms get worse.  Did this happen on your face?

Genetically modified food begins with plants that are genetically altered to produce insecticides themselves. The insect that tries eating the GMO plant has a stomach explosion and dies. The FDA has announced humans are not effected, but a lawsuit in 1998 exposed numerous internal memos declaring the exact opposite. These GMO plants are weaker, nutrient deficient, and continue to carry the toxin. Animals are fed the treated wheat and corn and become nutrient defici and sicklyt. Then we eat them and become deficient and sickly. They tribute the astonishing rise of digestive problem, food allergies, and many other ailments to this practice for the last 20 years. This stuff is everywhere.
