Hot baths and warm clothes cured me

CURED: Diamine Oxidase (DAO) for Cholinergic Urticaria (hives)

November 8, 2016 by Forum Member

Steroids will torture you and destroy your immune system. Antihistamines and H2 blockers like Zantac will provide barely any relief and never solve your problem. Meds do nothing. Blood tests will tell you nothing because the cure is not in your bloodstream – it’s in your gut. Two words that gave me back my life: […]

I’ve had cholinergic urticaria since I was 16 or 17, and I’m 20 now. I’ve tried taking pills to help it, but it didn’t work. A while ago someone told me that taking real hot showers everyday would help. He said that he can exercise and he didn’t get it at all anymore. I started […]

October 24, 2016 by Forum Member

Hello Everyone, I want to tell the story of how I was cured of cholinergic urticaria (CU) by adopting a whole-food, plant-based diet (a so-called “vegan” diet).

Questions about Preauricular Ear Pits

October 18, 2016 by Forum Member

I mentioned to some friends about my preauricular ear pit. One of these friends told me that it should be removed, because it is dangerous because the water can come in through it. Is it true that it can be dangerous? So I searched for it, and I red the article about the preauricular ear […]
