Meds are not all evil. I have been onthem n moderation just like my carb
intake, for now over 16years. If you can manage without meds that's fine,
but many can't. You throw around terms like carbs are poison, hating
meds, but accepting traditional medicine(herbs, etc.) How do you feel
about the sulfa drugs introduced after 1934? How do I know that date? I
lost a brother before I was even born to a strep infectin in january of
1935. A year later his life would have been saved by a sulfa drug. Hate
meds, not me. I wish I could have knon Jonny, but i never had the chance

Using tons of meds to try to avoid diet adn exercise is foolish
andnon-productive, but meds , when necessary are a Godsend. As Alan S use
to say "all things in moderation except laughter."

You have never taken an IgG allergy test. When I said there are no
symptoms, I mean no symptoms for the test results that are "false
positives." You can tell IgG allergies by the time delay. They
take anywhere from a few hours to days for symptoms to appear.

I have taken the tests three times.

The one allergy test I remember was the hair test. I do not think you
have ever taken the ELISA IgG blood test that I am referring to. I am
not sure you understood the difference: only that the hair test was
cheaper.

I've had the RAST IgG done. The Elisa IgG. And the prick IgE. Of the
three, I think the hair was the most comprehensive. I also had them check
for nutritional deficiencies. Since I've had that done and added more
supplements to our diets, we've been much healthier. I actually didn't have
to add too much. Mine came out pretty good.
