Dear Simone:
Sorry maybe I made some confusion here. It is not cough. When he reads, he always wants to clear his throat.
He is allergic to cashews and pistachios. Also he was tested postive to some trees.
Another symtom I didn't mention is he always has dry nose, stuffed nose in the morning ( I think this is related to tree allergy?) and sometimes it bleeds.
I will post the form seperately in another post.
Thanks,
Wendy

Wendy,

What happens when he eats pistachios
and cashews?

Are you in an area that has fall and winter and is this tree allergy less
in those months?

He sounds like he has constant post nasal drip going on.

Mucous going on like that can create acid reflux-
it goes both ways. people who have food allergies to dairy, for example
find their nose starts having mucous soon after the dairy is taken.

What is his energy level like?

What are his favorite foods?

Is he warm or hot most of time or is he cold a lot?

Dear Simone:

The typical symptoms are hives after he ate cashews. We only have one time experience. After that we tested at allergist then were told he is allregic to postachios and trees.

We have fall and winter, 4 seasons. His tree allergy seems wrose now (now Spet, we are in fall). In Winter his nose is very dry and bleeds often. actually his nose bleeded this morning again. We wash his nose almost everyday using Neilmed sinus wash but he always have mucous in this nose. I think the only thing he complains is the stuffed nose or bleeding nose or trying to clean his nose by napkins. He never complains about his throat. But we can hear clearly of his hoarse voice. The only season which I feel his nose is better is in sometime in Summer.

He didn't like milk, but can have some yogurt or smoothies (1 cup each day at most). He had eczema when he was 1 years old, then we stopped milk for a month, his eczema is much better. But later we added milk back in his diet, his skin looks fine.

He is very active and energetic. He likes sports, for example, soccer.

His favarite foods: most of fruits, mac cheese, pizza, most of snack food (cookies and so on). But he usually is not allowed to eat a lot of these sweet and junk foods. We have traditional Chinese food at home, like, fried veggies, pork, rice and bread. But he dosen't like most of veggies and he can have some cookies or pizza at schools.

I think he is normal, not too warm or hot, not too cold from my point of view.
Thanks a lot,
Wendy

Hi Wendy- sorry about all the questions
but it is important.

When he had eczema, did he have any
allopathic treatment medicine for it-
if so for how long and what was it?
 
simone717 9 years ago
Dear Simone:
No problem and thank you so much for asking.
We did't use any allopathic medicine for it. Only occasionally steroids on the skin. One doctor suggested us to stop milk for some time, then we did and his skin was much better. Then after about one Month, we added milk back, his eczema didn't come back. It was when he was around one year old.
Thanks again,
Wendy

Hi Wendy,

continue on with what you are doing for another week.

You can report then, and I will probably be asking more questions.

Last questions today- is what color and consistency- thick, watery,
white, clear etc. is the mucous?

And when he had eczema, describe it- was it dry, scaly, moist? and
where was it on his body?

I am looking at this further, bc when eczema is suppressed ( as in steroid
creams) it can't come out and later on will show up often as allergies.

So if you cure the allergies with homeopathy at some point the
eczema will show up again- but then it will leave for good.

Take care,

Simone717
 
simone717 9 years ago
Dear Simone:
The mucous is usually White and thick, sometimes light yellow.
His eczema was dry, scaly, all over this body, especially on face, legs.
Do you mean homeopathy can cure allergy, like nuts allergy? But then eczema will be cured too?
Thank you,
Wendy

Hi,

Yes, if the Arnica and cell salts only improve him to a
certain level, then his case can be taken in detail and a
remedy is chosen based on all his mental, physical, emotional,
and what makes him feel better and worse and so on.

The case taking is to get a totality of his state.
The remedy, if a close match to this state, will stimulate his
life force to clear out all imbalance.

Allergies are mostly the immune system out of balance- reacting
to things as if they are a threat when they are not.

If the remedy is correct, old things will show up and then leave
for good bc the life force is clearing all imbalance and whatever
was suppressed by medications.
 
simone717 9 years ago
Dear Simone:
You post are so promising because I have a younger daughter who had severe eczema from 1 year to 3 and half. We used a lot steroid cream to suppress it. Until now she is 4 years old, her eczema is much better but occasionally I need to apply skin medication to her once in a while.

She is allergic to Pistachios with life threatening reaction which brought her to ER place. Previous she can eat milk, yogurt, which will worsen her eczema. But last time when her eczema was better, I tried to feed her same yogurt as before, she develop vomiting, rash, hive, swelling and so on allergic reaction. The reaction is not that severe as the Pistachio’s reaction, but clearly the reaction was much worse than before and we need to give her epi-pen and Benadryl and we went to ER to make sure she was fine. She was tested to be allergic to eggs since age 1, and I don't dare to let her eat eggs after that. But to other things all allergy test are negative except eggs.

For her case, do you think there is a remedy for her too?
Thanks a lot,
Wendy

Dear Simone:

One thing to mention about my son's nose and throat problem. He is usually worse in the morning, stuffed nose or bleeding nose or hoarse voice. This morning he complained again about his stuffed nose and we give him on sinus wash to relive it.
Thank you,
Wendy

Hi Wendy,

The best option for treatment ( for both kids) is to see a homeopath in
person. To understand the child, the homeopath needs to observe
them in action to use all his methods of diagnosis.

Skin issues like eczema , can be a long treatment - is it possible
for you to see a homeopath in your area-If you want to give me
a general idea of your area or city, please do that bc I can give you
options.
______________________________________________

___________ Here is an article on allergies by Dr. Vikas Sharma - a homeopath
in India.


Although an individual may be allergic to any food, such as fruits, vegetables and meats, these are not as common as the following eight foods which account for 90 per cent of all food-allergic reactions: Milk, egg, peanut, tree nut (walnut, cashew, etc.), fish, shellfish, soya and wheat.
The symptoms that the allergic individual produces are individual in nature. They can range from a mild asthmatic attack to a severe life threatening allergic response (anaphylaxis). The complex process of digestion also affects the timing and the location of a reaction. If people are allergic to a particular food, for example, they may first experience itching in the mouth as they start to eat the food. After the food is digested in the stomach, abdominal symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea or pain may start. When the food allergens enter and travel through the bloodstream, they can cause a drop in blood pressure. As the allergens reach the skin, they can induce hives or eczema, or when they reach the lungs, they may cause asthma. All of this takes place within a few minutes to an hour.
Homoeopathic treatment of food allergies can be very beneficial as it treats food allergies by optimising the overcharged immune system. Though the treatment may require a more serious approach, most of the allergies can be treated with homeopathy. Homeopathy views food allergies as an expression of a disturbance in the patient?s healing system. Food allergies are not a disease to be cured in themselves, but a reflection of an underlying imbalance.

Treatment_involves an interview in which the data of physical, mental and emotional symptoms along with medical history is collected. This data is then analyzed and evaluated to understand the essence of the imbalanced state of the individual. This process leads the homeopath to find the specific remedy for the individual.

Dear Simone:
Thank you. I am living in Winchester/Boston MA area. If you have any good homeopath doctor in the area, please let me know.

For my son's nose and throat problem, should I continue it for more days?
Thanks,
Wendy
 
bluewenzy 9 years ago
Yes, you can continue until you see the homeopath in person.
 
simone717 9 years ago
Hi- I suggest you see this Homeopath
in boston.

Kellie Kirkpatrick, she has a lot of
experience, education from different schools of homeopathy, has worked well with
children, is also an acupuncturist, and works with one remedy at
a time after taking the case. I think she is qualified to treat your
children.

Dear Simone:
I still continued the 3 cell salts: Nat phos, Calc phos and Calc Sulph. My son's voice is much better now. Should we continue the treatment? Do we need to change any doses? For now, we have 2 tablets each for 3 times a day.
He has very stuffed nose in the morning, any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Wendy
 
bluewenzy 9 years ago
Are you just doing salts only??

How much better is he- 50 % 90 % ???

You can add in Kali Mur cell salt to the mix- 2 tabs 3 times a day
for the stuffed up nose in the morning.

But let me know how much better - so I can decide on continuing
on the other salts.

I would really keep him off all dairy- dairy has a reaction
of mucous and inflammation that goes on well beyond after
you consume it.

In other words, you could have some dairy, think that there
is no reaction but days later there is mucous and digestive
problems ( acid stomach going into the throat area, etc)

It takes about 2 weeks of NO dairy to get all the dairy out of
your system-The nose and stomach react with each other-
very quickly producing mucous- so on the nose end you have
a stuffy nose, on the stomach end you have mucous that makes
the body too acidic and starts up reflux ( the hoarse throat)
 
simone717 9 years ago
Dear Simone :
Besides cell salt, I still have Arnica in wet dose twice daily.
I think his hoarse voice is at least 40% better.
I didn't offer much milk at home now, and I will stop the yogurt too. Since he is having lunch at school, can he have pizza at school? Or we should stop all diary related stuff? This will be tough!
Thanks a lot!
Wendy
 
bluewenzy 9 years ago
Hi Wendy,

Keep doing what you are doing and add in Kali Mur 6x
to the cell salt mix.

I know that the pizza will be tough, but you have to
cut out all dairy for 2 weeks to see the difference.

After two weeks he could have pizza once a week,
but no other dairy, and see how that goes. It may
be such a small infrequent amount that it won't
affect much, but you have to see.

Eventually if you go to the homeopath who will
do the overall state, it is possible to have all the
allergies, including dairy- gone.

Best,

Simone717
