He used to be allergic and asthmatic. Vaccines and allergy treatments from ages 6 to 16 turned me into a human space pin. Inhalers and medications were kept in all corners of my life. I remember going to the ER one Christmas Eve for adrenaline. At times my asthma was life threatening.

I asked all the doctors they sent me to:

“Why do cats and dogs make me sneeze and gasp, but that doesn’t make my best friend sneeze and have trouble breathing? What’s the difference between us?

When the experts couldn’t answer, I kept asking myself that question. Even my most basic question was left unanswered:

If medication gives my body what it lacks, why can’t my body do the same?

Fortunately, I was too young to listen to authority figures and I entered the search for a cause and a cure. I started taking herbs, vitamins, and anything else that offered a glimmer of hope.

After many unsuccessful experiments with herbs, vitamins, and naturals, I was lucky …

In 1977, at the age of 19, an older friend who was interested in nutrition introduced me to a doctor in Utah. This man was said to be a world-class biochemist, herbalist, and healer. Hundreds of people followed the guy and while he was criticized by those who wanted to discredit him, I spoke to many, many people who had experienced tremendous health benefits.

When I met “Doc”, he told me the following:

There are three things that cause your allergies:

# 1 Your liver produces excess histamines because it has too many toxins

# 2 Your thyroid is low, and that sets the rhythm of the liver.

# 3 Your adrenal glands and lungs are weak (that was not a surprise to me, but until then I didn’t know what to do)

This made perfect sense because:

He knew about “antihistamines” because he had taken them to stop allergic reactions.

One of my symptoms, difficult to wake up in the morning, coincided with my low thyroid symptoms.

My inhaler at the time was epinephrine, a substance similar to adrenaline.

Within 3 months of being treated with herbs she gave me to detoxify my liver, and herbs / nutrients to strengthen my lungs and support my adrenal and thyroid glands, I was allergy and asthma free. That was 30 years ago and since then I have been allergy / asthma free.

(I’ll say this to keep me out of jail – take your medication until your doctor tells you otherwise and / or if you decide to find a natural cure like I did. Note that you will meet a lot of resistance from doctors and even many asthmatics who believe that natural cures are impossible. Sad, but true).

Here is the picture:

The liver has to process toxins and when it can’t do its job, it stores them. If you store them, you also make extra histamines to protect yourself. If there is an allergen, the brain sends a message: “Send out some histamines! I think there is an invader!” and the liver proceeds, releases too many and you have the allergic response: hives, asthma, sneezing, etc.

Cleanse the liver and maybe, like me, you are allergy / asthma free.
