I have been reading this book called Menopause Without Medicine, \nwanted to share something with you that I read today.\n\nIf you have emotional distress, what are the chances that you are \nmissing a vital vitamin or mineral in your diet? Check whether any of \nthe symptoms listed below are familiar to you:\n\n- Vitamin B-1(thiamine): loss of appetite, depression, irritability,\n  memory loss, sensitivity to noise, inability to concentrate, \n  fatigue, reduced attention span.\n\n- Vitamin B-3 (niacin): insomnia, nervousness, confusion, depression,\n  hallucination, loss of memory\n\n- Vitamin B-6: anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia\n\n- Pantothenic acid: depression, inability to tolerate stress\n\n- Vitamin B-12 (cobalamine): difficulty concentrating and remembering,\n  stuporous depression, severe agitation, hallucinations, manic\n  behavior\n\n- Folic acid: irritabiity, weakness, apathy, hostility, anemia\n\n- Vitamin C: increased stress and fatigue\n\n_ Vitamin E: depression, lethargy\n\n- Potassium: nervousness, irritability, mental disorientation\n\n- Magnesium: paranoid psychosis\n\n- Calcium: anxiety, neurosis, fatigue, insomnia, tension\n\n- Zinc: anemia, poor mental function\n\n- Iron: depression, lethargy, poor concentration, irritability,\n  decreased attention span, personality changes\n\n- Essential fatty acid: anxiety, irritability, insomnia\n\nThe chemical makeup of the brain requires an ample and constant \nsupply of essential nutrients. Vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, \nand enyzymes are all interrelated, each dependent on the others for \nabsorption and utilization; moreover, a shortage of one vital element \ncan render all the others less effective. That is why nutritionists \nurge people to eat a variety of nutrient-dense foods.\n\nI do know from past research and personal experience that if you are \nnot taking a good multi-vitamin along with a mineral supplement it is \nmore difficult to get your hormones balanced and keep them there...\n\n\nNeed more info?\nE-mail me!\nBlessings~\nMichelle Jones

Get a 2nd opinion. Allegra D was the ONLY stuff that would help me. I have also been taking at least 1000 mg of B-12 to up my immune system and that has really helped.\nYour allergies are a natural reaction to a downed immune system. Allegra D can semi mask that but the side effects are a sore back and possible frequent trips to the bathroom\nYou sound like you are seasonal so at least a month before that season hits start taking AD again and you should be good to go. Allergies can be very very tough.

Hi Bunny!  This is an interesting problem.  "Theoretically" an allergy to vitamin C might kill you because the allergic reaction would destroy your body's stores of vitamin C and you would die from scurvy.  How do you know it is vitamin C you are allergic to and not some other component in the citrus fruits and supplements?\n\nWhat symptoms do you get?  Are they immediate  (minutes to 1 or 2 hours) or delayed (several hours to days later)?\n\nYou also note  that you are lactose intolerant.  This can be caused by Celiac Disease (CD).  CD can lead to many food allergies/intolerances because it damages your small intestine leading to Intestinal Hyperpermeability (increased 'leakage' of large molecules through the intestine and into the blood where the immune system recognizes them as 'foreign' and attacks).\n\nCeliac Disease is an autoimmune disease that attacks and damages the lining of the small intestine.  Lactase (the enzyme that digests lactose) becomes deficient because it is produced by the lining of the small intestine that is being destroyed.  CD is caused by an allergy to the proteins gluten/gliadin that are found in wheat, rye and barley.  It can be tested for by simple blood tests.  You will need to find a doc with good knowledge in this field - someone who diagnoses and treats CD regularly.\n\nGood Luck!

I had asthma as a kid, so when it returned later in life it was a matter of concern. I took two products I credit for knocking it out one was something called MSM which is short for Methylsulfonylmethane which desensitized me to allergens, takes about 3 months. I took at least 1000mg a day.  The other was Grapeseed Extract, of which I took 1 mg per pound of body weight per day this would open up the airways in about a hour. Both can be had at any good Health Store\nhttp://www.totaldiscountvitamins.com/Merchant/msmframe.htm

There are a handful of very good immune building supplements she can take. ... One good one is "Grape Seed Extract". .... Another one is; "Olive Leaf Extract" ..... Another is; "Astragalus". \nTaking a good quality Fish Oil can be helpful as well.\n... She could for instance take the Grape Seed Extract along with the Fish Oil. .. Or take the Olive Leaf Extract along with the fish oil.\n\nShe should also avoid eating sugar,.. as sugar creates acidic conditioins in the body that help to promote disease.

Hydroxocobalamin is an injectable, synthetic form of B-12 sold in ampules of varying concentrations, example- 1000mcg per ml. In Toronto, Hydroxocobalamin, Cyanocobalamin or Methylcobalamin are easily obtained at compounding pharmacies,in injectable form, usually without prescription. Cyanocobalamin is the least expensive, Hydroxocobalamin is about 4X more expensive and Methylcobalamin about 8X more expensive. Both Cyanocobalamin and Hydroxocobalamin are converted in the body to the more active co-enzyme forms of B-12, being Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. Cyanocobalamin and Hydroxocobalamin are the injectables most used by anemics, vegetarians and vegans. Methylcobalamin is the form most used by Autistic, Alzheimer, Depression and Neurological patients. If the condition, or deficiency you are treating is not to severe, you might want to try the sublingual forms of hydroxy, or methyl cobalamin. In studies,  these forms of B-12 were found to raise serum levels of the vitamin just as well as injectables, but at a much lower price.\n\nToronto pharmacies that carry Hydroxocobalamin injectable:\nSmith's Pharmacy- Tel- 416-488-2600 (Yonge St.)\nHaber's Pharmacy- Tel-416-656-9801  (Bathurst St)\n\nSublingual forms of Hydroxycobalamin are available at many health food stores in Barrie and Toronto. Happy vitamin hunting!

If you're suffering now you're likely to be allergic to tree pollen.  Classic "hay-fever" is an allergy to grass pollen, which I suffer from, and comes on later in the year.  Prescription drugs turn me into something out of The Hills Have Eyes, so I can sympathise with your wish for something natural.  Homeopathic remedies worked for me for couple of years, but don't any more alas.  I got through last season with a eye drop remedy called Hay-Crom and Beconase nasal spray, but these rarely work for more than one season at a go -- pills like Clarityn stop working after a week or so.  Because you mention the heating it sounds like you may also have a dust or pet-hair allergy which is making things worse.

Probably not. Further it has not been shown to make much difference in recovery. Echinacea with Golden Seal does seem to stimulate immune reactions but golden seal used over an extended time is suspected to cause autoimmune disorders.\n\nVitamin C and B12 in large doses may help if taken immediately at the first sign of symptoms but as symptoms are actually the recovery process starting prevention is unlikely.  Vitamin C and B12 do seem to ameliorate symptoms but the cold usually lasts two weeks or 14 days (or a fortnight) which ever is longer.

well, i read previously in an article that vitamin C is actually not useful when it comes to boosting immunity. in fact, the study on that article was done on a group of 400 people, 200 of whom eat 3-4 times as much as vitamin C as the other group and in the end, their immunity are the same. The group who took the 3-4 times vitamin C only can shorten the time they got sick like 1-2 days. So it really doesnt help. i cant rem when i saw this article, but it was in the Singapore major newspaper months back.\n\nLike yourself, i am very sick prone, i have 2-5 ulcers (canker sores) a month, fever every 2 months. Its almost like a routine to me. I am a non smoker, i dont drink alcohol, i dont club, no drugs. \n\nAnyhow recently i am getting so better (i hope it aint gonna go downhill again). Its my change of environment i guess. Much cleaner air now, i drink more than 2 litres of plain water everyday, do some long distance walking every week (40 to 60 mins fast walk each time), sleep 8 hours a day. Been doing this for 3 months already and i feel so much healthier, and not much problems i mention previously.\n\nHope i helped! :)
