\nI have been suffering from bad health for as long as I can remember. Lately I have been CRYING to my Dr to try and help me. I have has sever ringing in ears, loss of hearing, loss of memory, feelings like bugs are crawling out of my ears, weird vision. depression\u2026 and so on. YOU NAME IT. I could never put a finger on it and knew i would just confuse any Dr with all my random symptoms.I had an allergy test yesterday. I am allergic to 8 trees, 5 weeds, all species of grass, SOIL!, beef, barley, rice, dust mites. I think that’s it?<\/p>\n

I think this has been my health issues. I consume rice,beef and barley everyday\u2026..<\/p>\n

How can I be clean of all this to feel normal again??<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here is my advice:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hi Daniel,
\nWith a long list of allergies like that you may not be able to avoid 100% of everything, but you should be able to do OK with food, and do your best with the rest.\u00a0 The good news is that the more you reduce your allergy load, the better you are likely to feel.
\nRegarding food allergies, you need to know what to avoid, but you also need to know what you can eat or every meal will be stressful and you’ll go crazy.\u00a0 So list all the ingredients you are allergic to, then all the foods that you might eat that contain those ingredients.<\/p>\n

The next step is more important, and actually, you may want to do this first.\u00a0 List ingredients you can eat<\/a>, and then start listing foods with those ingredients, but without the foods on the no-go list.\u00a0 This is easier if you cook for yourself, but if you buy prepared foods, start reading labels in the grocery store and make a list.\u00a0 Yes, this will take a while at first, but you will slowly build up a list of safe foods.<\/p>\n

As for the others, trees, weeds etc., keep your windows closed and put your car ventilation on ‘recirculate’ as much as possible during allergy season.\u00a0 Get a HEPA filter, ideally for your furnace if you have central air, or at least recirculating air filters<\/a> in the rooms you spend most of your time in.<\/p>\n

I hope you find this advice useful.\u00a0 Any readers that want to add to the advice can leave a comment, as can anyone with more questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
