I have a case that I would like to share.
This woman is 49 years old and developed asthma 16 years ago.
In 1995, she became very ill and was hospitalized with a flare-up.
Since then, she has had repeated flares and was given multiple steroid regimes.
Last year, she was diagnosed with Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency due to the steroids and was found to be allergic to the very inhalers she was treating the asthma with! She was removed from all medicines and in 24 hours was normal for the first time in years and hasn't treated the asthma since.
Her biggest hurdle was weaning off the prednisone, which took 9 months and had debilitating effects.
Luckily, her adrenals are regenerating though she was told it could take up to one year for 100% function.
Since discontinuing the prednisone in August, she has had increased allergic reactions to numerous foods, additives and OTC medicines that cause immediate rashes, itching and wheezing; and get migraines with additives and milk products.
She now makes her own breads, has eliminated most processed foods from her diet, as well as 'added sugars' and does not consume nuts, milk, cheese and related products, chocolate, foods with MSG, sulfites or nitrites.
Currently she has a problem with Oral Candidiasis (thrush), which has so far been resistant to prescription medicines.
She knows she is in a vicious circle with the immune system/adrenals and allergies all affecting the other.
To help treating the thrush, I suggest mixing one teaspoon of tea tree oil into an 8 ounce cup of water and gargling with it.
It will lessen the pain of the thrush and the sores.
