I have been battling with this hives condition since 2005 and I have come to realize it is an overabundance of yeast in the system. The cause is from an overuse of antibiotics over the course of a lifetime and heavy metal toxicity. I have been seeing a homeopath for this and we have been working on it for about 10 months along with diet. High protein low carb diet. My symptoms have subsided. If anyone else is experiencing this please feel free to contact me.
I think you may be right. I developed hives and battled with them for months before it was suggested I try a system by Qivana. It's called Qore and involves probiotics, a detox (for heavy metals) and adaptogenic herbs.
The system supports healthy immune function, digestion, detoxification and vitality. Each component has scientific research behind it and the system was designed by two Doctors who are tops in their fields of research and medicine.
My hives went away in 8 days and I've not had a problem with them except for one week when I went out of town and forgot to take my Qore with me.
A friend who is taking Qore mentioned she has always battled yeast infections, and since being on it has not had even one infection. So it seemed to help there, though don't know the basis for why.
Of course, this is an all natural, system using supplements so, by law, they can make no actual health "claims." I just know that it seemed to help me and other people I know. My philosophy is always... if it can't hurt you... and it might help... it's worth trying for at least 3 months to see.
By the way, the Qore system costs me, each month, about the same as I would have spent on drugs to try and quell the symptoms of the hives. But I feel SO much healthier in general. I am confident it is better for me than taking steroids and antihistimines.
