Working With Vitamin C To Treat The Symptoms Of Dermatographic Urticaria

Okay, this story is actually awesome and genuinely true! It has to complete with my husband and a skin situation that came on abruptly and had no answers from medical doctors besides drugging him up with Allegra and Zyrtec to treat his symptoms. What did he have you may be questioning? He was diagnosed as obtaining dematographic urticaria... aka, dermographism, dermatographism, or "skin writing" describes it best. When his skin is touched, rubbed, slapped, scratched (even lightly) it becomes raised and red. You can seriously write on his skin! Enjoyable celebration trick, confident... annoying, yes. He could even do absolutely nothing, not even be touched and he would get a red splotch on his face that looked like he had been slapped or something. It was itchy and stinging for him. The medical doctor told him they don't know why it comes on or how long it'll last. There was no remedy and they could only give him Allegra (then later Allegra combined with Zyrtec) to treat this symptoms. We moved to a new state and hoped that possibly environmental factors or lack of a specific allergen could make him far better with no luck. We began juicing hoping much better diet would support, absolutely nothing helped. We had sort of just resigned ourselves to the fact that he was going to possess this skin condition for who knows how long... possibly forever.

He had currently been living with this for about three 1/2 years when we just occurred upon the documentary "Food Matters" on Netflix and there is 1 point inside the film exactly where Andrew Saul talks about vitamin deficiencies and I saw a appear of clarity and as Oprah (like her) would say a "light bulb moment" on his face as he realized his symptoms being listed before him on the screen... make a extended story a bit significantly less lengthy, I quickly ordered the book Physician Oneself: Organic Healing That Operates by Andrew Saul. My husband followed the Vitamin C Therapy (I think that's what it was named, I have it loaned out to a pal) that Saul talks about inside the book. Basically, my husband's dermatographic urticaria had two underlying causes: His physique releasing too much histamine and he had a vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C is a all-natural antihistamine that is created by the physique and consumed in foods.

This vitamin C deficiency was most likely caused by anxiety. Anxiety natural vitamin C produced adrenaline; adrenaline utilized the vitamin C in his physique and produced a deficiency. So he started the Vitamin C therapy that Saul outlines in his book. He generally keeps taking particular amounts at time intervals of like 10 minutes till he reaches bowel tolerance (yes, an explosive expertise). When he knows his bowl tolerance level, he backs off for the dose proper just before bowel tolerance, and this was the dose he started taking daily. For him, this was taking 20, yes 20! 1000mg tablets of vitamin C each day. Just after he began taking 20 per day, inside the very first two days, he knew he could be able to remain off of his Allegra and Zyrtec. He was obtaining precisely the same symptom relief from the vitamin C as the doses of Allegra (360mg) and Zyrtec (20mg) he was taking everyday. Now 6 months later, he's nonetheless totally off Allgera and Zyrtec and only needs to take five 1000mg tablets of Vitamin C to control his symptoms for the whole day. He has noticed that if he drinks greater than 1 cup of coffee a day or greater than 3 alcoholic beverages a day (beer) than he could want to up his dosage. He nevertheless gets the "skin writing" however the itchiness, flair ups without the need of touch, blotchiness, prickly flushing, and burning are gone. The cool celebration trick is gone.

I just can't believe that medical doctors either never know this or don't want us to understand this. Why would any person choose to be taking drugs whenever you can take vitamin C. And it truly is economical by the way!

When you are worried about taking that a great deal Vitamin C, it really is a water soluble vitamin and the only side effect of taking a lot of (not that it can hurt you) is lots of pooping! though side effects of Allegra consist of rashes, itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing! Zyrtec's unwanted effects contain vision difficulties, dizziness, tremors, as well as a speedy pounding heart! I never know about you but I'd rather have an eruption from Mount Bootie as an alternative to have difficulty breathing, blurred vision, and also a flip flopping heart! Study Medical doctor Yourself: All-natural Healing That Works by Andrew Saul for more details regarding the security of vitamin C. I hugely propose this book! The therapy will probably operate for many other sorts of allergies (besides food) as it is often a natural antihistamine.
