Re Allergies,
I was at a talk recently and the speaker - A holistic Dentist talked about his experience in dealing with mouth ulcers on cancer patients going through chemo.
He talked about how the immune system could be likened to a bucket sitting in the middle of your diaphram. As long as the bucket was not lapping over the top then generally things would be fine but once the bucket was full - it meant that all manner of symptoms would appear. Mouth ulcers, eczema, asthma joint pain etc.
His explaination was that it could be a very mild allergic reaction to a single thing could push you over the edge and it was not just that you were violently allergic to this one thing.
Granted it was a talk about the hidden effects of chemicals on our bodies ability to recover from the effects of them. And it was a talk attended by people like me that supply products with alternative chemicals that do not cross the skin barrier so therefore are classed as non toxic.
But it made sense to do this if you were a sufferer from allergies, so what do others think. Is it purely just the case of avoid the known cause or reduce all unknown as well known triggers.?
best regards Colin
RE: Allergies
Hi Colin,
Another Neways person huh, there must be thousands! I use Neways and yes they are good products but not the only ones on the market today that cleanse from within. I see what you are saying but allergies are not always the cause of ulcers and infections etc.This is often an imbalance and the body's way of showing us something is not right. a warning signal for want of a better term.
A lot of this is to do with genetics and the body having its own internal clock can trigger illness/disease etc due to genetic reasons. I have endometriosis and this has been classed as an auto immune disease, in fact i have since learned it isnt anything to do with this but more to do with genetics, bone marrow, thymus gland etc. your bucket synopsis is interesting and well put but in all honesty although some allergies are triggered due to food, products, smells, pet hair etc, it can also be to do with mineral/vitamin/amino acid/genetic deficiency and it is important therefore to work to balance out this imbalance shall we say rather than taking umpteen products for this and that. I am presently on a naturopath programme that works to rejuvinate the entire system from the bone marrow up to the eyes! my system is bombarded with toxins and chemicals daily as is everyone on the planet and the answer lies in rejuvination and finding the root cause of the problem. visit for an alternative look at dealing with health. It is very very interesting.
Best wishes
Tammy

Hi Tammy,
The speakers view-- and his treatment was to reduce exposure to known immune suppressants - such as mercury (amalgam fillings- this was very intersting in itself because he recommended NOT to rush out and remove them, but to seek advice from a recommended Holistic dental practitioner who would advise on correct procedure using a dam or something to block swallowing the debris... however thats another subject) and to use nutrition to boost the bodies capability to recover -itself.
Very much in line with what you say.<This is often an imbalance and the body's way of showing us something is not right. a warning signal for want of a better term.> this reminds me of Dr Batmangahlis <sp> book "Your bodies many cries for water" and the symptoms displayed due to dehydration.
Very simplistic, I would imagine a lot of Doctors would disagree and recommend this or that drug , or herbalists would recommend
this herb or that. It is a bit like quantum physics... a very imprecise science that has to be worked round multiple variables but still produces a scientific result.
If you are aware of Neways you probably know about Phillip Day -- in his book Health Wars he talks of the importance of elimination with lots of fruit (organic) to help carry the toxins from the body ..taking out the garbage is his description.

Thanks
