Dear Hivesguy,
I have benifited from your site time and again regarding latest information about cholinergic urticaria. Your dedication, relentless efforts, and empathy towards us is highly appreciated. I did not see any major breakthrough regarding treatment of CU over years which we were expecting from medical circles. I am participating and writing to you for the first time. I am 46, a college principal by profession and suffering from CU in its deadliest form since I was 16.
Sir, I want you to convey to all our friends that if they start using DISTILLED WATER, simple pure water, simple H2O, they might be free from CU. Distilled water is available in scientific stores, cheaper than (in my country) mineral water or you can get it through home-made steaming apparatus. Avoid tap water or ordinary water in any form in tea, coffee, alcohol and cold drinks.
There may be two possible reasons as to why the use of distilled water can make you free from CU:
Distilled water has a great potential to dissolve toxic chemical that cause CU , from our blood as compared to tap or mineral water which are more saturated.
There is some kind of chemical in the form of mineral or metal in ordinary water to which our bodies are sensitive. I have used some elements like sodium, calcium, magnesium, lead, iron and zinc within permissible limits solved in distilled water. None of them seem to be our enemy. The process is continuing.
I am not of the habit to jump to the conclusion and to complete the studies and to test each water chemical on my body. A mail to your site made by Mr. Ali who is so disappointed with his life, compelled me to write to you prematurely. For the last two months of the extreme summer season, for the first time in my 30 years CU history, I am totally without antihistamines or any medication. Most important, I was free from CU for 40 day last year also , when I was in Mecca City on ” Hajj” on only natural water ” Zam Zam ”
Regards,
Niaz Mohammad

Hello, Niaz.
Thank you very much for your kind words and for sharing your water experiment and how it has worked for you. I’m very happy to hear that it has brought you relief. Your experiments with distilled water do sound very interesting, and I certainly hope you come back to report on what you discovered when you are done experimenting.
At one point, I lived in an apartment with horrible water, which did make my skin and hives worse. I tried using distilled water a few days, but it didn’t seem to make my hives go away. However, I could see how it could help tremendously if a person was sensitive to the chemicals in it. I also advocate using a water filter to remove some of the chemicals.
Keep us posted, and thanks so much for sharing your experience with this.
