How Can You Recognize an Allergy by Looking?
These are the characteristic appearance changes:
Pushing nose upwards or wiggling it.
Dark red, black or blue eye circles
Bags under the eyes
Licking lips vigorously, causing rash about mouth.
Unusually red cheeks,
Unusually red and/or hot earlobes
Wiggly legs
Problems breathing air out of the lungs
Clucking throat sounds ( generally a milk allergy)
Scratching the creases of the arms and/or legs. This occurs near the time you eat an offending food but the rash does not appear until the next day.
What Else Can Indicate an Allergic Reaction?
Your pulse, breathing and ability to write can change when you have an allergy.
· Learn how to take your pulse. If the entire body and circulatory system has gone into an alarm state, the pulse and blood pressure can change.,
· The pulse, at rest, can increase from a normal of 60 to 86 to over 120-200. The beat can also become unsteady and irregular. Ask someone who knows to show you how to do it.
· The blood pressure can also increase to abnormal levels.
· If the lungs or breathing is affected, the ability to breathe deeply can diminish. Get a Peak Flow Meter. Call 1 800 787 8780, It is simply a plastic tube with a gauge on it. If your breathing levels falls over 15 % (for example, from 400 to 340), try to figure out why, where, when and why.
· If the brain is affected, it is possible for the writing or ability to draw or walk normally to change significantly.
· If you belch, notice what you taste. That is typically a food that is causing your allergy. The abdomen can also swell after eating an allergic food or beverage.
· Mucus from allergy is colorless or white; in contrast infection causes green, yellow or gray mucus. Check with your doctor.
· Hives are itchy white raised spots with a pink halo. These spots look like a mosquito bite. If the hive has an obvious bite hole in the center It is due to an insect. Allergic hives do not have this.
So What Can You Do About It?
Simply keep saying, "what did I eat, touch or smell just before the above changes occurred?" Ask yourself : Was the change due to something inside or outside, a food or a chemical? Allergenic dust, mold, pollen and foods typically cause symptoms in 15 minutes to an hour. In contrast, chemicals tend to cause changes in appearance, actions and how someone feels in seconds to minutes.
Some food allergies, however, can cause delayed reactions in 6 to 48 hours.
1. Milk or daily can cause recurrent otitis or ear problems,
2. Dairy, wheat or other foods can cause colitis.
3. Fruit juice or milk are common unsuspected causes of bed wetting in children over five years of age.
4. Beef, pork, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant and/or wheat often cause arthritis.
5. If a food or beverage causes an allergy, you can take 1-2 tsp of baking soda Trisalts ( health store) or Alka Aid. Also you can use an antihistamine and/or asthma medicine. Usually these would stop most allergic reactions.
To prove the above, just stop these foods for 7 days in all forms and then eat the food being checked on an empty stomach, the first thing in the morning.. Symptoms typically develop within about 8 to 48 hours.
Never eat a food that you know makes you sick. There is no reason to do it.Be sure to check with your doctor before you try the above.
Using the above tips, many, on their own, have recognized and pinpointed the exact causes of their illnesses,

Depressed Every Spring- and No One Knows Why?
Joe, a 9 year old boy, is suicidal. He tells his mom exactly how he wants to kill himself. Why? It happened last year in the spring, but this year it is worse. His mother is concerned because his father, who was mayor of their small town, also was depressed each spring and killed himself in April of last year. Why did this happen? Both the father and son had mold spore and tree pollen allergies and both craved milk and dairy. The boy started to cry when he was allergy tested for mold spores and for milk using the more precise forms of allergy testing that can cause and eliminate a person's symptoms.
A teenager, Mike, is over 6 foot tall and weights over 200 pounds. He has episodes of crying like a baby and does not know why. He's an A student, has a girlfriend he loves, and has no pressing money problems. He has felt a little depressed every spring for the past few years, but this year it is worse than ever. Why?
He too proved to be allergic to tree pollen and molds in the air, in the rainy month of April. His reaction to the skin test was video taped. If he had hay fever or asthma, like his sister, the diagnosis would have been obvious, but in this young man, the pollen and mold allergies affected his brain.
When the above youngsters were checked for allergies using the more informative form of allergy testing called Provocation/ Neutralization, (P/N) both of them began to cry.
This form of allergy testing can cause someone's exact symptoms to occur in 8 minutes with one drop of a dilution of a substance. The doctor can eliminate them in another eight minutes with a drop of a weaker dilution of the same allergy extract. Yes, a skin test for allergy, when done using the newer Provocation/Neutralization methods, can precipitate and then eliminate the exact symptoms that bother an individual.
If you want to find out more about how to figure out exactly what is making you ill, all on your own, check out the website, www.drrapp.com. for very inexpensive "how to" books and DVDs. The prices are less than anywhere else. If you want to find the nearest specialist who knows how to do P/N allergy testing, call 1-480-905-9195. Monday-Friday 9-2, PST.
If you are depressed or suicidal and have no idea why, read the books written by Dr. Rapp. Many atypical forms of allergy can be caused by dust, mold, pollen, your favorite food or beverage or a chemical. Get rid of the cause and you can feel great. You can do it-- more often than you or anyone else dreamed possible, if you learn a few basic facts.
If you want to find the nearest environmental medical allergy specialist, again, check out www.drrapp.com. Also look up Donahue, Dr. Rapp on YouTube. There is a reason why 140,000 people sent letters after seeing that show. There are DVDs available that will show you how to cause and eliminate an allergic reactions in eight minutes with one drop of various dilutions of an allergy extract. Dr Rapp videotaped every patient for over 40 years showing over and over that this was possible. Stop wondering why you have allergies. See for yourself what makes you so ill and learn some ways you can help yourself, today.

ADHD: Well In 1 Week AT NO COST
What is happening in our country? Can someone accuse you anonymously of child neglect if you will not force your child to take potentially toxic medication for ADD or ADHD? In some states, such as in NY, parents are being forced by the court to give their children medications such as Ritalin. There are many "off label" drugs being prescribed that never have been checked for safety in children. Some can have devastating effect, especially when several are ordered to be given to a child. Numerous recent reports have accused some psychiatrists of overprescribing and promoting these potentially harmful drugs and having received financial rewards for their efforts.
What is the answer? It is simple. Parents must take the time to find out why their children are not feeling well, misbehaving and unable to learn. If you have a nail in your shoe causing a sore on your foot, the answer is not a bandage, but to pull out the nail. At least 70 % of allergic children diagnosed as ADHD can improve significantly in a week or less with a diet that excludes highly allergenic foods. Add an air purifier and about 80% can be up to 100% better in less than a week. Check out my web site for details: http://www.drrapp.com/.
You can figure out problem foods at no cost. If the cause is dust, molds, pollen or chemicals, an air purifier can help. If that does not make a significant improvement, send it back within a month for a refund. See the video of Dr. Rapp on Donahue on YouTube and her web site. See why 140,000 people wrote in after her appearance on the show and why an enormous number of ADHD children improved significantly. See the proof that the cause of ADHD and learning problems frequently can be simply a missed allergy that does require need a drug. Often, food allergies can be relieved simply by omission of a food from a diet. If this is not possible, there are specialists who know how to treat food allergies with allergy extracts. The combination of a diet and breathing cleaner air can help many children and their families, and answers can be less than a week away.
If you are having a problem with drugs being forced on your children and are in need of an expert medical consultant to defend your right to refuse such treatment, contact Dr. Rapp.
Please join our mailing list at our website, http://www.drrapp.com/. We’ll send you links to Dr Rapp’s current blogs, and keep you abreast to the pressing environmental issues and concerns that can seriously harm you and your children. Dr. Rapp will try to provide help that is fast, easy, inexpensive, safe and effective for typical and commonly unrecognized forms of allergy, such as ADHD.
Dr. Rapp can provide published proof that there is a better way to solve some challenging problems that children have, without the need to prescribe potentially harmful drugs. If we can win some court cases, the judges will recognize that choices better than drugs do exist.
