The ROOT CAUSE Of Allergies, Why They GET WORSE & How To GET RID Of Them | Theresa MacPhail 

For years on end, I had really bad allergies. Over a decade of sneezing hundreds of times per day, all day, for every reason you can imagine: beds, dust mites, perfumes, pollen, cats, sitting on a couch, walking down the street, entering a home, getting inside a car, etc. Simply living made me sneeze, and all doctors wanted to do was give me a very expensive treatment that involved getting injections for around a year or something like that. I never liked that idea, so for whatever reason I intuitively cut out sugar as much as I could, stopped eating processed foods and dairy products, and began to fast every now and then for a day. That is it. No more allergies 🧐I hope this helps someone. Edit: Working out and stressing as less as possible also helps, because working out enhances your immune system and stress hormones have a negative impact on it. ♥️

Dehydration also causes histamine levels to rise which was my problem. I thought I was getting allergies but in fact I was dehydrated all the time. Started hydrating more and my allergies symptoms went away completely. Just thought I'd throw that in for those that find they don't hydrate enough and get random allergy type events.

0:20: 🤧 Around 30-40% of the global population currently have some form of allergic disease, but experts predict this will increase to 50% in the next decade. 22:05: 🐝 Allergic reactions to bee stings are rare, with a low chance of death, especially compared to other risks like car crashes or slipping in the bathtub. 33:06: 😷 Allergies are a significant and growing problem with profound effects on people's lives. 38:04: 🤔 The rise in allergies is a societal problem caused by environmental factors and lifestyle choices. 51:30: 🤔 The exposure to man-made chemicals and air pollution can negatively affect our microbiome and contribute to allergies and asthma, which are societal issues. 1:04:38: 🌍 Our immune system was built for a different world with more exposure to venomous things and parasites, leading to the development of allergic and autoimmune responses. 1:17:47: 🔑 The health of the gut microbiome is crucial for preventing allergies and autoimmune diseases, but societal factors like access to quality food and healthcare systems can hinder support for parents and children in their early years. 1:30:15: 🌍 Our microbiome plays a crucial role in our health and interacts with the external world through our barriers in the gut, respiratory tract, and skin. 1:43:27: 🌍 Our modern lifestyle and environment have contributed to the rise in allergies in humans and pets. 1:56:00: 💡 The immune systems of humans and animals are affected by their diets, and the chemicals in our environment can disrupt our microbiomes and immune systems, leading to allergies. 2:13:06: 🤧 Allergy treatments have remained the same for the last 100-150 years, with antihistamines and inhalers being the primary options, but they are not perfect and can have side effects. 2:20:11: 😷 Allergic diseases are on the rise globally, and while there are new therapies being developed, there is still a long way to go in finding a cure or effective treatment. Recap by Tammy AI

Fasting can help a great deal with allergies, which stem from the gut. Fasting fixes the gut and also gets rid of the problem immune cells and replaces them with ones that function properly! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time. Fasting increases nitric oxide release. Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin.. Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting. Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

this whole conversation comes down to the well known fact of avoiding grains, chemicals, and sugar.

Most of my allergies disappeared when I stopped eating carbohydrates. My arthritis went away too.

1982 USA approves GMO. 1990 explosion of food allegies. Is there a connection - nooooooo - lol

I live in Japan and developed a pretty severe pollen allergy (probably cedar) in the Spring a couple years after I moved here. The usual medicines did not work very well and were very uncomfortable for me to take, I would feel jittery and sleepy at the same time. A few years ago I tried doing a ketogenic diet during allergy season and it seemed to reduce my symptoms by about 95%. So, every year I do a ketogenic diet for a few months during that season and don't need to take any medication. Anyway, that worked for me.

15 years ago I taught English in a small town in south Korea. I was surprised that so few of the 100s and 1000s of kids that came through the school didn't have allergies and yet so many children have allergies in Australia. They used to have these wonderful free school lunches made fresh with so many different veggies and meats & kimchi. Westernisation of the diet has moved in with pizza 🍕 white bread and cake but this daily healthy lunch seemed to make the children very healthy and resilient in spite of this.

I have multiple chronic illnesses, most of them invisible and the way she talks about chronic illness is so empathic and touching. Feels like really being seen which is so rare.

Clean your home with lemons, baking soda, salt, or vinegar.

It's mold. We moved to a house with mold and my cat developed asthma.

I want to share my experience with long fasting and my allergies. This podcast has been so enlightening. I've had hayfever / dust allergy since I was 10 (I'm now 45), and managed it for a long time with breath control (pranayama). It helped immensely but I still had a problem dealing with dust / dust mites around the house, even small amounts of mold in any scenario, etc. I left off the pranayama practice for a while around 2018 and around the time COVID started my allergies started to re-emerge in a big way. That's some background. But what I am excited to share is this - three weeks ago I did a five-day water fast, my first time with a long fast. I went into it hoping to help heal a tendon injury in my foot. I left off taking any anti-histamines (which I was specifically taking because I'd been travelling and my house had been shut up for a couple of months, so I knew I would be sneezing my lungs out if I didnt) I spent the whole of the first and second days of the fast sneezing. The second and third days were tough, not only because of the fast itself but because I had this searing intense "pain" under my cheekbones. But what happened after that was interesting. As that pain subsided, I realized I wasn't sneezing as much anymore, and then it completely stopped. COMPLETELY. It's been two weeks now, I'm back to my regular diet, and apart from the occasional sneeze at some point in the day, I find that my allergy has disappeared. The real litmus test for me was going to my mother's house, and it's super-dusty because she's old and can't be bothered. I'm usually sneezing or feeling my nose reacting within half an hour of arriving there - or I take an antihistamine as soon as I get there because there's no other way I can manage. But this time, I stayed for two full days and I was perfectly fine, no sneezing, no anti-histamine. This is almost absurd to me, because, like you've discussed, it's so much a part of who I am and how I manage my world. And it was not somehting that I expected the fast to do. I'm hoping it stays gone, but that remains to be seen. I'm not sure it would work for everyone, of course, but wanted to share this aspect of my experience with fasting. Slightly long-winded, but that's just me excited! Love this conversation, and all the information you bring to the world!

Did a 3 day water fast with electrolytes and allergies vanished. Inflammation , tennis elbow , wrist pain hand pain vanished as well. Mind you it was so bad that I was wearing an elbow compression.

Once I stopped high carb low fat. Removed almost all grains and seed oils, not only do I barely sunburn at all anymore. I can go through summer just fine with some sneezes here and there. Compared to me believing I cannot be in the sun cuz I'd instantly burn pink qnd would have so awful allergy attacks I'd lay on my floor for hours after sneezing my brains out. Ignoring current data our Healthcare system promotes weirdly helped me, whqt a surprise.

I’ve had bad allergies most of my life. They got worse as soon as I got my period and got better as I finished menopause. I don’t know why, but my hormones definitely had something to do with it.

During lunch, I made a plate of 7 small portions of healthy foods. My son asked me why I had so many foods on my plate. I very casually said "I'm feeding the good bugs". Then I burst out laughing thinking, what if I said that to people that have no idea what good bugs are. They would think I'm crazy lol. Then I thought, what if I also told them they had trillions of bugs in their gut. So I laughed even more. About 2 years ago, I had chronic stress for 1 year from my prior high stress job. I developed digestive issues, breathing issues, horrible leg cramps, depression and nerve problems. I even got bell's palsey where the right side of my face was paralyzed for about a month. After lots of research, I decided to eliminate stress by quitting my job then do an anti-inflammatory diet and focus on nutrition. After a month or so, all of my symptoms were gone. So, stress and over eating bad foods is what lead to my health problems.

I’m 60+ & developed hay fever age 9. Grass pollen & cats are my main triggers. I used to suffer quite badly throughout June till about mid July but thankfully it’s much less of an issue as I got older. I was brought up in a very clean home (though far less chemicals in products back then) & recall having several doses of antibiotics for ear/throat infections as a child. Back in 2011 as I was going through the menopause, plus a big house move, then the sudden death of someone very close to me - so quite a stressful time - I developed eczema. Luckily for me it’s been very mild & only seems to affect a small area on my back & neck. I agree people who don’t have experience of allergies can often think we overplay it but it’s a very real issue & can have knock on effects mentally & emotionally. Thanks to you both for this very informative talk.

I have suffer from allergies since I was a kid. I stop eating seed oils and used grass feed pork fat instead. I stop eating refined bread and tortillas. Just ate beef and fish a few veggies ( onions, mushrooms, brocc, avocado 🥑 etc.) and fruit also raw milk and I only ate when I was really really hungry. All allergies are gone, my gallbladder problem is gone. My sciatica is gone. I finally feel alive after 43 years. Junk food or just a bad diet is nothing but pure evil and hell. You won’t ever go back to eating like that after you feel the effects of a good diet. And if you do well you go to hell not me. Also I thought I was gonna spend a lot of money on a organic grass fed food. Bug turns out I’m spending waaaaaaaay less money in groceries. I think it’s because now when I eat right; I don’t feel full or bloated; I just feel satiated. As opposed to the bad diet when I keep eating and eating. I was always feeling hungry and bloated at the same time, always felt like I wanted to burp, fart and take a dump but I couldn’t do none. Keep in mind I’m not obese at all. Actually I have always been in my weight. Maybe 4 or 5 lbs above my appropriate weight. I think one of our greatest mistakes is that we take food as a pleasure. We have to start seeing food as our medicine for the body and soul. One more thing before this diet I used to have lustful thoughts, even that changed. My mind started to be at peace. See no evil, eat no evil and you’ll be fine my brothers and sisters. Everything seems to fold into place.

Very easy answer, rich countries are "educated" and get vacced, poor countries are "uneducated" and dont get vacced, and dont get allergies

When I was growing up everything was sold in glass bottles from milk right down to soda drink and there were fewer allergies and disease go figure

You didn't say anything about the drugs they are giving animals that we eat. Also our pets are getting ill because the dog food manufacturers are experiencing with their food.

😢 Glyphosate destroyed my health

How about over vaccinated population!

Please Dr Rangan Chatterjee 🙏 I never heard any mention of the impact of TOXIC MOULD on the health (unless I missed it) .. I have lived with allergies and asthma and many many things that you discussed on here and I agree with everything Theresa MacPhail said but I have recently come to the realisation that I most likely am suffering from DAMPNESS AND MOULD HYPERSENSITIVITY SYNDROME from exposure to Black Mould which ironically, is on the rise because of the modern building materials etc that we use to build dwellings and workplaces (particularly investment dwellings) .. still learning but I hope you see this comment as I would love to hear that be a part of the understanding around the health impacts and what can we do to reduce exposure to this as time goes on ..

I wonder if it’s the crap food and all the shots

I only have a personal anecdote, but in my case. 100% no sign of allergy until I mess up and regularly eat foods that contain omega-6 rich seed oils. I did not know that was the case when I was spiraling into allergy hell, but it turned 180 when I tried an elimination diet believing it was carb or sugar related (high fat keto).

Profound sadness started midway through this video. Allergies since childhood so I forced myself to watch to the end. If even brilliant physicians and their AMA can’t/won’t? address these issues, what are the rest of us supposed to do? Tapped to see the product Dr. Chatterjee is hawking. It starts at $79.00. Appreciate your well-meaning concern, doctors. But I’ve found this video to be a lot of words and little help. That’s my multi-factorial judgment. Have your AMA talk to Congress, not us.

This interview hit home so hard. A few years ago I was prescribed anti-biotics to treat H.pylori. The treatment was successful. But boy oh boy, several months when spring kicked in, I was having the worst sneezing, itching watery eyes symptom. The doctor call it Allergic Rhinitis (aka Hay Fever). It comes back and haunt me every spring since. Now I believe the anti-biotics may have mess up the balance of my gut micro-biome. I am cutting added sugar, process food and dairy this winter and fingercross* hopefully my symptoms will be lessen in the coming spring, if not completely gone. The allergy affect the me 24/7 even in my sleep. I wish I can simply hibernate in spring.

I’m in tears listening to this. 42:56 My daughter has almost died multiple times from food allergies. Thank you for spreading this message ❤

In islamic studies i have heard that its said by our beloved prophet peace be upon him that having cold & flu or rash saves us from the worst diseases because it takes out the bad things from our body through sneezing, coughing, fever & sweating and rashes & bumps.❤

We should also be looking at the whopping 72 vaccines our children get starting on the day of birth, each with a dose of aluminum and sometimes 4,5,6,8 at at time.

After being treated with antibiotics I have allergies then I took a lot of probiotics and they went away...it seemed like I was allergic to everything for a couple years wheat, corn, potatoes, shampoos, lotions and perfumes. I also took cell builders from shaklee and shaklee probiotics. When I start getting sensitivities again I get on kombucha right away and it goes away again.

I was just waiting on the good ol' "ItS cLiMaTeChAnGe!" ....

At the same time allergies grew exponentially there were other things that were happening. Allergies are something where the immune system is reacting in a disturbed way. Anything special that has been effecting the immune system itself? Vaccines are meant to influence the immunsystem . I had only 3 or 4 vaccines as a child. Not sure the exact number now but I believe it is about 70 (though some are given in one injection). Hmmm ... The CDC never does a real comparison of the general health of unvaccinated and the vaccinated. They (together with some vac sceptics) should! There have been some independent studies done. In one, James Lyons-Weiler went through the records of pediatrician Dr Paul Thomas and found generally better health for the unvacced. Specifically food allergies were double for vacced and allergic rhinitous was 6 times higher among the vacced.

For me is simple,my kids are not vax and got zero allergies but kid's my friend who are vax got lot's of different allergies but not one family but few of them,take this as you will but in my opinion this is a problem and need to be addressed,she tries overcomplicate things.

Histamine reactions are often due to deep cellular dehydration. Many have found relief by dumping refined & processed ‘Carbage’ which really dehydrates the body. Even some drinks - anything sugar-laden & or chemical additive-laden, tea, coffee, alcohol, etc, which force the body to use way more water to process the substances in them than the drink supplies, can be very dehydrating. But hydration isn’t just about drinking water. It’s also about getting enough minerals - electrolytes - so the body can use the water properly. Drinking water on its own can deplete the minerals. The best way to get the minerals is unrefined grey, moist sea salt. I’ve proved this myself. A pinch of sea salt & good glass of water has nipped ‘allergic’ reactions in the bud many a time. Since focusing on rehydration I’ve had no histamine reactions at all. And my insulin resistance is improving. Darko Velcek (on here) speaks a lot about the benefits of proper rehydration.

I reckon its the huge increase in jabs being given in the developed world combined wit a huge rise in chemical cosmetics. Steer clear of jabs and stay natural

I believe GMOs were introduced in the mid 90s. Any correlation between their introduction and allergies? I’m only 20 minutes in so not sure if it’s covered later.

I have histamine intolerance that was relatively mild until I lived in a house with mold and then got covid. There hasn't been a single day for the last almost 3 years that I don't have DAILY symptoms. These symptoms are not limited to upper respiratory mucus production. I have gastrointestinal, cardiac, and neurological symptoms as well. The number one thing that helps is strict diet (which has made me very angry about food because I can't just eat whatever I want anymore). I have yet to find an allergy medication that completely removes the symptoms. It is awful.

I had seasonal respiratory allergies until I stopped eating wheat. It took me a long time to figure out wheat was the problem.

The more you get vaccinated the more allergies tend to show. At least it’s a view that isn’t yet disproven. But environmental pollution, additives in our processed food could also be a factor.

This may or may not be relevant, but just today I read an article about bottled water and the differences in the plastics used and how it can affect our hormones. I wish I could reference the article (I'm sure a simple Google search would work), as it told what to look for where the recycle label is. Really made me think about the water I will purchase in the future. The consumption of bottled water has increased exponentially worldwide.

Just maybe if we stopped using the wording of climate change, and instead called it World Overload of Toxins (WOT) possibly it could really become a bipartisan issue to tackle together. Forty percent of all prostate cancer is linked to pesticides. Why aren’t governments addressing this and many other toxin related health issues??

Almost 45 minutes in, and it seems these two aren't gonna mention the elephant in the room: which if I were to write out would cause this comment to vanish. But it starts with v and ends with e and has nicca in the middle, in reverse order.

Vaccines

For those of you with severe allergy problems, look into thiamine deficiency as explained in several RU-vid videos on EONutrition channel. I know someone who was helped a lot with high doses of TTFD and benfotiamine versions of vitamin b1 (along with the probiotic Akkermansia). Best wishes to all.❤

No mention of vaccine schedules being increased. And Uganda…thank, Bill

I completely revised my diet too, just for general fitness, stopped taking medications for allergies, and found that my allergy symptoms disappeared almost completely.

I had real bad allergies until I went on the carnivore diet. Carnivore cured my allergies 100%.

I have horrible hay fever every spring/summer. I live on the edge of a city. When I go and stay nearer the coast in Norfolk, where there is little traffic and pollution I don’t have hay fever, even though I’m surrounded by fields and trees. I’m convinced that pollution causes my allergy

Solution: Get plenty of vitamin A from liver, cut out sodium chloride and take some vitamin C tablets. Your pollen allergies will be gone. Also make sure to take vitamin D to balance out the vitamin A. The balance may be 1000-3000mcg vitamin A and 150-300mcg vitamin D per day. Also take magnesium for the Vitamin D because you are probably magnesium deficient.

Having been a hay fever sufferer virtually all my life and suffered fairly severely before I was given medication I can tell you it’s not how high the pollen count is for the day but what the actual pollen is. So earlier than June the pollen count can be as high as you like and I’ll be fine but as soon as June arrives bam! It just hits me. The most helpful thing has been my nasal spray. I take nasal spray eye drops and tablets. However these past two years I have taken MSM which has helped my hayfever tremendously. I take my nasal spray and eye drops still but less of it and I have not had to resort to the tablets. MSM is great for muscles and joints which was my reason for taking it in the first place. I only found out by accident it helps with hayfever.

Chemtrails ??

I'm surprised no one mentioned fermenting foods as a good way to heal your gut microbiome. I get a special kind of happiness when I eat my homemade sauerkraut and I honestly feel it comes straight from my gut.

She actually went there. SHE BLAME S CLIMATE CHANGE.

Because too many chemicals in everything nowadays, our body is exhausted from it

What about our hormones? We are giving livestock hormones which we eat when we eat chickens or eggs etc. our hormones have an impact on our immune systems so I suppose this is part of the “everything” mentioned in this video but I wish hormones would be talked about more. Thank you for this informative video!

I have suffered from bad allergies or histamine intolerance for years but I cured myself with diet 🎉

Loved the talk and the comments which are so useful. I suffer from allergies too and this comments section is filled with us :) A community of allergy sufferers lol. On a more serious note, I think some very obvious conclusions can be drawn and I would hope that in a future talk we could go on the questions given below: Key points are that allergies really began in the 90's. A reduced microbiome and higher stress factors (both environmental and psychological) increase allergy prevalence and this is increasing. Projected to go from a 30-70 distribution to 50-50 by 2050. 1. There is a very obvious (almost elephant in the room) correlation between pesticides and allergies. In this talk it was mentioned but just brushed past. Pesticide use increases the toxic load in us (quite possibly reducing our internal microbiome) when we consume produce that's covered in them. They diminish microbes in the soil, thereby in plants, and thereby in us. Perhaps focusing on those microorganisms which are detrimental for plants but probably beneficial for us to break down food (and other unknown effects) could be explored more and if true reintroduced? 2. For those who develop allergies later in life, there must be a way to narrow down the reason why the body didn't classify the substance as a threat before but does so now? There was contradictory information regarding how the immune system could be like a bored toddler which clashes with this hypothesis, or on the other hand that the substance was always bad but the threshold of toxic load or stress wasn't breached therefore we were coping. Once again using this hypothesis, one could narrow down the delta - I wonder if there are any studies on this? Here once again there could be a connection to pesticides :). 3. Im allergic to cats but developed it later in life. It made no sense until today, when you guys spoke about the deer, tick allergy pathway. That is probably what happened. Following this hypothesis, there's something in that tick's last meal (the cat's blood) that was a threat to me. Once again this leads to the same conclusion that allergies are being caused by overtly "benign," substances which are really vectors. This is very interesting because what we are allergic to could actually be a great signifier that there is perhaps a bacterial/fungalor parasitic imbalance within us which the immune system is overworked with and modern science diagnostics have not picked it up because the symptoms are missing (at the expense of overworking the immune system). 4. There are certain species of bacteria like the streptomyces species which produce doxycycline an antibiotic. These bacteria could be working in symbiosis with our immune system to help us fight off out of control or balance pathogens. The study of these would be interesting to see.

Growing up, I had eczema so bad I had to wear gloves to school to absorb the blood so I didn't smear it all over my papers and books. I also had juvenile RA and my knees would swell up like balloons making it hard to run and play. It started around the time our area began being hit with Strontium 90 drift, from the atomic testing. I've had an autoimmune disease, which has received various diagnoses over the years, ever since. I've added more allergies, and physical problems, over the years so that, now, at 79, I have so many physical problems it is hard to get any type of effective medical treatment and have to depend mainly on living a healthy life-style.

I have had on-and-off allergies all my life (more on than off in the past decade) and the only thing that EVER worked for me was a Marisa Peer video right here on YT (since taken down for reasons unknown to me), which was a meditation about 20 minutes in length. In the video, she would first do an induction and then talk about how "brilliant" my (the listener's) immune system was and then supply lots of suggestions about how my immune system could easily distinguish between harmless chemicals and actual threats, like viruses. By the time I would get to the end of the video, my sinuses would be bone dry and I'd be feeling like a new person, so therefore my conclusion from that experience was that while, yes allergies may certainly be caused by environmental factors, clearly the mind has an overriding ability to cause or quash allergic responses. And in the absence of an ability to instantaneously evolve my immune system to cope with my ever-changing environment, I've found that hypnosis is really the key to remaining allergy-free. Or... maybe hypnosis IS THE WAY to instantaneously evolve one's immune system!

When I got my breast implants in when I was 26, they triggered dozens of food allergies. I’m down to being able to only eat chicken. I have gotten the implants removed, but the allergies just seem to be getting worse.

Please be careful what you believe or what sounds logical. I was born naturally and breastfed. My son was in distress and I had a C section and I also had not enough breastmilk and at two months needed to switch to formula. I have had horrible allegries and chemical sensitivities and my son age 44 has none. Now I am one case but I do not believe a c- section will create all this trouble. I do agree that chemicals in our food water and on our bodies contribute to allergies. Mine have greatly diminished getting rid of as much of these chemicals as possible. However I have had a discovery at 70 years of age. Recently I needed to go on glaucoma drops. They are prostaglandin based as beta blockers give me asthma. I started to notice that my allergic asthma diminished and my stomach issues, gerd, went away. I looked up this particular prostaglandin and sure enough this one can do both these things. Also I looked up symptoms of a deficiency and sure enough the reason I had a c- section is the lack of uterine contractions. And the hormone they give you to stimulate this problem is you guess it this prostaglandin. So I assume I am deficient in this hormone. Our bodies are very complex and wonderful. We are all truly unique🇨🇦

Know a doctor cleared his asthma and swollen knees by intermittent fasting for a year , losing 23 kg eating radish leaves , OMAD , sleep, avoid triggers for anxiety and stress.

I have many allergies, exzema & asthma. I worked in horse (allergic to animals, hay, dust ,mold) rescue for many years. Bugs love me & I get horrible bites that take 3 wks to subside. I was seeing a lot of horses suffering from allergies & the same over reaction to fly & bug bites as I have, only they couldnt get away. People w/o allergies had no compassion for these horses that were losing their minds & were covered in rash, throwing themselves on the ground, running & scratching themselves raw on buildings or anything at hand. As manager, I insisted these ones got repellents, salves & vet treatment. I eventually heard of Histamine Intollerance & wondered if this is the problem. Can you speak to that?

I'm not sure what I have done, but I have pretty close to zero allergies any more. Not sure if it is my strict diet of zero processed foods and purely non-chain organic foods, no coffee, no sodas, no alcohol, etc etc. But, I do see others around in have worse and increased allergies.

Thanks for bringing attention to the topic, most definitely have little sympathy for us allergy sufferers.

I had cellulitis a few years ago, after which I started to get really bad eczema. I tried many different skin creams, but it kept getting worse. I went to the doctors a few times, but all they did was prescribe steroid creams. They helped a little at first, but then it’d get worse again. Then I began to see articles about how it’s not good to use them for too long. They suggested reducing the number of products I was using and to only wash with water. I tried this and noticed some improvement. Eventually I requested to see a dermatologist. They did patch testing and it turns out I’m allergic to something called linalool, which is in almost everything: cleaning products, hygiene products, some foods. I always have to check for it now. Even so I can’t possibly avoid it all the time, while travelling, eating out or visiting friends/family. Thankfully just lowering it as much as I can at home makes a big difference. I also try to take my diet into account when tackling allergies.

We are living wildly unnatural lives and it's destroying our health

Ordered her book! Wow! Just discovered your videos. I really like her statement “we’re not fully human”,😂 just saw raw openes. The conversation was just so natural and informative!

Chemtrails in the sky blocking out the sun. Chemtrail Particles lodging in my lungs.

I've cured all my ailments and never have allergies and i am 50 years old. I don't even get colds and it's because of eating whole plants and superfoods in the last 10 years. Genomics and Epigenetics will save your life!❤

Home made kerfir milk helped my very bad post nasal drip and heyfever

If anyone knows the timestamp for how to get rid of allergies, please post below. Thank you :)

I am sorry about nit picking but, A Win. 95 was a better base system and some people are still using it on modern computers. It is the hardware that has improved. I play Moo iI on an emulator on Windows.10. I played impossible level on a Pentium 1, but average is to hard on a modern system because it gives the AI so much power. We don't get to upgrade our hardware. I get your analogy but it does not work. The EpiPen was first approved by the FDA in 1987, or I would have had one! Allergies do kill! If you have severe allergies you are treated as a pariah. People think you are contagious no matter what you say. In first grade other kids throw rocks at me because my nose was running. (Yes that was with my medicine and daily shots!) I clearly eat better than you do.

i developed 3 allergies right after a childhood vaccines(eggs, honey and peanuts). Which later vanished years after the vaccines. Before vaccines all most no allergies after vaccines lots of allergies. Whats even worse is the fact that most allergies are against foods or animals that have been dambered by big busniess.

My immune system went crazy after taking jabs. It went haywire. Peanut allergy, hay fever, dogs and cats. Asthma and eczema. We gave my son his first bunch of schedule jabs after he was born and boom. Full body eczema suddenly and allergies to salmon, eggs and dairy.

During the height of the pandemic we had to use an extremely toxic chemical to clean. It was mostly pointless of course, but most of us didn't know better. By the time I understood it was the cause of my asthmatic responses I'd been exposed for about 6-9 months. Trying to convince the company I work for to stop using it was futile. My response to the substance was more extreme than anyone else and became a "me" issue. I'd used the idea of my reaction being the canary in the mineshaft; it can protect others from unwitting harm. Was like banging my head against a brick wall. 🙄

I see what you're all saying in comments about changing your diet. Of course I believe that diet is very important, however, I've had hay fever since I was 8. I started getting into health and nutrition at the age of 13. I see people talking about wheat and dairy and sugar free. I am sorry but I have done a raw food diet including daily green juices and eliminating all of the above foods and more and still I have never eliminated my hayfever. Perhaps when I was more strict, it may have lessened at the best but it has never ever gone away no matter what I have done. It is still very extreme infact. Just wanted to say that, no answers I'm afraid but lots of questions. 😕

As children from a poor family, we played in the sun, in the dirt, in the mud, in the rain, in the trees, and among pets and farm animals. We have zero allergies. One reason why many rich country children are allergic is because, in a sense, their immune systems are "coddled" and therefore, "stunted". A similar phemonon can be seen in their political/socioeconomic beliefs.

IT CAN 💯% BE ANXIETY CAUSING ALLERGIES… I NEVER had allergies… then my dad got cancer and I started to get all sorts of issues from the stress, including allergies I’ve never had

I had grass pollen allergy. I used to take 3 OTC allergy medications and still failed to stop the sneezing and itchy eyes. Well, today there is very high level of grass pollen in my area, and I am not even close to sneezing, and I hardly feel any irritation in my eyes. It could be due to the intense exercise I am doing outdoors, getting more sunlight or my very active attempt to control my work stress. I don't know. I am just glad that I am healthy.

It’s baffling! Every product has to pass our governmental watchdog organisations is safe & effective. How can our immune systems continue to get worse after all the wonderful care we get? Truly baffling! 😂

In 1996, I had my first bout with allergic reactions (olive tree blossoms). Since then I have had more and more allergies, including food allergies, and my allergic reaction gets worse with time. Prior to 1996, I had no allergies, except for a peanut allergy in my teens. As an adult, I was no longer allergic to peanuts.

As good as the information is here, I'm kinda tired of the 'everything is caused by climate change' tone. I have seen some comments that diet greatly contributes to allergen response. I would believe this. Follow the trend of increased obesity to increased allergies - I bet they follow.

I wish you could provide time stamps on your videos. It would help those of us who are short on time to pick out the key parts we want to listen too. Otherwise, thanks for your great interviews.

I'm 75 years old, and ive never had any allergies that i know of. ive always thought it was because i grew up in the country, playing in the dirt and fields, playing with animals. Cant stand chemicals used for household cleaning, but that's a matter of avoiding them by choice. I also don't take medicines - either OTC or prescription. And I've never eaten 'Fast Food' - i cook fresh food from scratch, or eat at restaurants i trust. I have no idea what an Epipen is, or what it's for. 😊

Vaxxinating kids too early and too often is part of the problem. I grew up in the 50s and 60s (I'm 72) and no one had a peanut, milk or egg allergy. Now epipens are standard in school.

I naturally cured my life long eczema and adult allergies and I hope this can help others. I got eczema when I was 1 year old and had it up to the age of about 48 where I went on a raw whole food histamin free diet for 3 months. I also took a daily quercetin supplement which helps lower histamines. After those three months I could eat almost anything again and the eczema was gone. I also had some food allergies, plus pollen and mold allergies. For those to go away I had to completely removed all wheat from my diet so that my digestive system got the chance to heal. The wheat was causing leaky gut and bad bacteria which made the mast cells overreact and fire at lots of things and causing the allergies. A while later I accidentally had wheat from some hidden souces and at the same time I was exposed to a lot of smoke in the air (histamines). The eczema came back along with lots of allergies too. So once again I went back on the raw histamine free diet with quercetin (raw fruits, veggies and greens excluding things like avocado, tomato, spinach, bananas, citrus etc.) plus of course the wheat and then the eczema and alleries were gone within a few months. So my solution was to remove the tricker (wheat) and calm the histamine response so that the gut can heal and the problems get fixed. The three months are kind of tough but totally worth it.

I am allergic to bees, and I grew up on a farm and was sting regularly up to the age of 16. Then I got stung, and I had a severe allergic reaction. Everything you describe. And have carried an epi pen ever since. My Dr, when I was 30, tried to desensitize me by giving small doses of bee venom, but it didn't work. I do have allergies to other things. Some meds , some foods, and things in nature . This info is quite helpful for every day living. I carry benadryl, epi pen, puffers, antihistamines, pepcid ac, and I used to carry imodium . Because I have a varied array of reactions in a situation. So , it dictates what I may eat on a given day and what I might do. You describe me exactly.

Interesting that the more allergies in populations also correlate with vaccinations coverage in a country, not just socioeconomic status.

People who have allergy might have stronger immune system. That is a very interesting perspective. My mom and aunt keep saying I have poor immune system because I have allergy.

ive had the worst hayfever my entire life , i hate fall from late august till freezing the air is so foul it burns my noes and i have to sleep with my mouth open so i can breath . ive gotten dehydrated from sneezing and blowing my noes every couple of minuets all day long . ive been suicidal and or thought about how i could remove my sinuses , cauterize them by shoving a glowing red metal rod up my nose to kill the membranes . my nose will drip like a faucet or swell shut like some one is pumping up a balloon inside my nose . my nose is my worst enemy .

My mom was put on Reno dialysis. She wasn't allowed to drink too much water or potassium. The hospital fed my dad food that potassium while he was also on reno dialysis. I'm thinking, my mom was allergic to something the hospital was giving my mom to eat. I was told not to eat white potatoes as a diabetic. The hospital kitchen staff sent me a dish with white potatoes. I avoided eating it. The hospital room cleaner shamed me for not eating it saying I'm not a good patient after I was told by a dietitian visited me in the hospital advising me not to eat white potatoes. Bah medical system.

At 1:19:05 the host criticized the lack of maternity leave in the US. If you REALLY want to make things better, consider the idea that most mothers should be on PERMANENT maternity leave, otherwise known as BEING A MOTHER. We don’t need maternity leave. We need mothers.

Wishing you discussed chemical allergies more, I'm totally allergic to cleaning products lol I do shower less, make my own dishwasher tabs, or just do hand washing(very meditative for me😂), eliminated sugar where possible, still get mega rashes occasionally

When are they going to stop spraying thos chemicals in the sky everyday???????😂

You're my no.1 hero Dr.Rangan, thanks for the new video!

When I say I have allergies people roll their eyes and act as if I am a hypochondriac.
