Is it possible to find the Cause and the Cure for Cholinergic Urticaria?
Ok Guys I am thinking that I may be onto something regarding a possible cause & cure for this Cholinergic Urticaria (heat hives) condition. Bear with me while I tell you my story. I work in the mining industry and while living in the deserts in West Australia, one day about 12 or so years ago (circa 1997) I came down with hives or wheals. This condition seemed to come from nowhere; all of a sudden, there I was experiencing an outbreak of hives or wheals. They appeared on my scalp, forehead, eyelids, waistline, shoulders, occasionally back of knees and the tops of feet. They were like a mosquito bite in size, perhaps 8mm across and fairly round, they would last several hours. If I could cool down, take a cold shower, they would go away faster than if I just waited for them to go away naturally. Because I was working in the mining industry in outback Australia, conditions were often very hot. The hives would appear, regular as clockwork, when I got hot, which was at least every 2 days, sometimes every day and very occasionally I would not get much of an outbreak for 3 days.
The hives varied in severity but for the most part were quite predictable. I would get hot, my skin would itch and tingle and the hives would quickly appear. My eyes would often almost close shut; I looked like Mike Tyson had given me a good beating. I was not able to cool down most days so they would last 2 hours or more, some of them would remain for 6 or more hours.
We only had very slow internet dial-up access at that time, so doing any internet research was not an option. I went to a local Dr and he told me I was allergic to something. I played with my diet and laundry detergent and showered more often. Despite my efforts the hives just kept on keeping on. This went on for about 15 – 16 months, no change, and no relief. It was very frustrating, I felt quite invalidated, why me? And why could I not beat this thing?
Then one day I was reading an article in a local farming newspaper about a couple of farmer brothers that had been suffering from dengue fever, a mosquito borne virus. They had both been virtually bed ridden for the best part of a year. The story went on to relate how one of the brothers struggled out of bed one day and was moving the electric cattle fence and accidently electric shocked himself. It is not very high voltage, so it was just a jolt, and he awoke next morning with no more symptoms of dengue fever. The 2nd brother then deliberately did the same thing, grabbed the electric fence, and he also got rid of his symptoms. This was a very conservative farming newspaper, so I figured there may be some truth to the story.
So I got creative and started thinking, perhaps the hives are caused by a parasite or a virus that is living in the body, similar to dengue fever? Perhaps somehow when the body reaches a certain temperature something occurs that activates them? Perhaps they reproduce at certain body temperatures? Or die at certain body temperatures? I didn’t really care what they did or didn’t do, but if a parasite or virus or bacteria was the cause of my hives, I wanted them dead.
Perhaps my premise or my thinking was completely wrong, but I was going to look down this road a little further.
I then back tracked to just prior to my very first outbreak of hives and recalled being bitten while travelling in the taxi to airport in Sulawesi. I remembered thinking at the time “huh, that is different, hope I don’t get Malaria!” I don’t know what it was that bit me. And I don’t really know if it related to my hives.
But by this stage I am thinking that could easily have been bitten by something, somewhere. Perhaps I was infected by some virus or parasite (or fungus or bacteria?) that is now living in the body and every time my body gets to a certain temperature, the invader gets activated in some way and that activity causes my body to respond in a certain way that creates an outbreak of hives. Perhaps the Sulawesi bite had nothing to do with my hives, perhaps it was just a coincidence, perhaps I had been bitten by something else and infected with something else. Maybe I ate something I should not have eaten. Either way I didn’t care, I had a hypothesis that was worth following. I didn’t need to prove anything; I just wanted to get rid of the hives.
Concurrent with this parasite/virus/bacteria thought process I recalled a book written by Dr Hulda Clark that I had read back in the mid 90’s, where she described an electrical zapper that oscillated through a range of frequencies and when applied to the body it would kill parasites and virus and bacteria whose physical structure natural frequency fell within this frequency range. Radical?, yes, but I was getting desperate and looking outside of the box. No one else had an answer. It was the farmer story that had reminded me of this zapper. I am guessing that the farmers had replicated the frequency of the dengue virus while going through the process of grabbing and let going of the fence. I don’t care if it really happened as reported, the point is that the story prompted me to go down the road of trying the zapper.
The dial-up connection lasted long enough for me to find a zapper for sale and I purchased it from a supplier in Sydney. When it arrived I did as instructed and zapped away, feeling kind of foolish, without any expectations of results at all. At the time of starting the first zapping session I did not have any hives showing and after 2 days of zapping the hives had still not appeared. So I zapped for the 3rd day and still no hives. I said to my wife, “I think I am cured” and I threw the zapper into the bottom drawer and got on with life. That was over 10 years ago and I have not had hives since. I did not think twice about it until recently when I stumbled upon a blog about Cholinergic Urticaria, and thought “what the heck is this about” I was quite shocked to discover that most people were describing a very similar hives condition to what I had suffered with for 16 months, over a decade ago.
I don’t know if this will work for you, there may be other reasons contributing to your condition, or other reasons for keeping the hives reoccurring. It worked for me, it was not a case of mind over matter, it just worked.
Simply put, within 3 days I was cured or had killed whatever it was that was the root cause of the hives. No change in diet or habits, or detergent, just cured. I do eat healthy, and care for my body and take vitamins and minerals, and eat fresh fruits and vegetable, and have always done so.
I am sure many other natural things would also kill whatever life form it is that is causing the body to produce these hives. That would probably explain why in some people the hives just disappear. They probably ate cloves or ate too many cherries or plums or ate some herb or drank hot mulled apple cider, or something along those lines. Perhaps they fasted as well? I believe the possible list of other workable solutions could be very long. I am sure that the cleaner that your body is to start with, the less toxic that it is, the greater the chance for a quick or instant end to life with hives. I had done the Purification Rundown per the book “Clear Body, Clear Mind”, about 15 years prior to getting the hives, and I am sure that would have helped.
From my observation, the indications are that the hives are a direct result of some parasite/virus or other life-form activity, in the body. Now that we have a clue of what to look for, some clinical study should easily be able to sort it out and isolate the culprit(s). Once identified, a broader range of treatments could become available. To me, the salient point seems to be, that the hives were apparently caused by the body’s reactions to the activities of another life form of some sort, living in the body. How it got into the body, I don’t know, what it was I don’t know, what I do believe is truth is that the zapper killed it. I am not a Dr, I am just making personal observations and drawing conclusions based on empirical evidence.
A side note on the zapper. About a year later I had just returned from Indonesia and I had what felt like a hair stuck on the back of my tongue. I tried coughing it up and scraping it off for several days to no avail. Then it occurred to me it may be a parasite. So I dug out the zapper from the bottom drawer, dusted it off and changed the battery, and zapped away. Next morning I get up and go to the bathroom and cough once and expel this gelatinous blob. On closer inspection it was some sort of worm, probably a hook worm, a dead one. I unraveled it and it was about 75 mm long, and you could see where its’ internal working had ruptured, I am guessing as a result of the zapper matching its’ frequency.
I put the zapper away again and have not used it since. I often wonder if it would “cure” Lyme disease or Malaria, etc?
In 1995 I read a few of the books written by Dr Hulda Clark, she appears to be quite a left wing radical alternative kind of Dr, and has lots of detractors, and lots of followers. I think she has made some important discoveries. I disagreed with her on a number of her extrapolations and explanations. However, right or wrong, agree or disagree, the zapper worked for me. No more hives!! Thank you Hulda Clark!.
I truly hope this helps you and wish the very best of luck to you. If this works for you please pass this information on to others. Contact me with questions and do let me know your results. I will keep a log of the results, good and bad, and if someone else does not do any clinical trials to isolate these culprits, I will try and arrange to get them done.
