The search for solutions has seen us take him to specialists for skin-prick tests, whichgenerally don't do much except tell what you are really sensitive to, then a course of homeopathy when he was 2, which helped a lot to reduce sypmtoms, and now once again, i'm on the trail looking for help. I don't believe in antihistamines for ongoing use, because they simply suppress the allergy and can lead to asthma. We've recently had talks by a Baha'i chiropractor on holistic healing and spirituality issues, and some of what he said made so much sense that i decided to go see him. Dr Reza Samvat is a neurological chiropractor who specializes in sleep issues and just about everything else you can imagine, and his take on Danny's allergies was that there are two aspects to it, one is to do with retained reflexes, and the other with phenolics. Phrases that i had never really heard about, but the way he explained it made sense. Basically retained reflexes affects 95% of people in some form or another, so its worth doing a search on if you have any chronic health problems. Phenolics are naturally occuring substances in a large number of foods that trigger allergies in some people, and one way to overcome it is through desentising the brain by exposing it to small doses, like a vaccine. Also known as homeopathy.
Over the last few days i've been asking lots of questions of my good friend Google, and learning A LOT. It still sounds a bit out there and complicated to me, but i think there might be some solutions here.
Meantime, its a bit of a challenge to feed a family with various food allergies, such as dairy, wheat, seeds, food colouring and sugar. Not fun for a candy-lovin 5 year old.
