Health issue: seasonal and food allergies, arthritic hands (reynards) and hormone and blood sugar imbalance
Age: 32
Location: Victoria, BC
Occupation: Tenant Support Worker
Symptoms: My allergies caused itchy eyes, sneezing , nasal congestion and upper respiratory problems. The Reynards in my hands would cause them to go cold and numb. After having my son, my periods were irregular and I would find myself moody and fatigued at the end of the day. The stresses of my health and my job were making life difficult.
Health Recommendations: On the advice of my naturopath, I initiated a change in diet (anti-candida), and started on citrus bioflavinoids for my allergies. I used natural supplements such as fish oils, minerals, herbal adaptogens and homeopathic remedies. I changed my son’s diet to avoid dairy and sugar, and he
has taken immune boosters, homeopathics and fish oils.
Results: This year I have had no allergy symptoms! (And that means no pharmaceuticals). I am feeling more balanced, less stressed and the pain in my hands has lessened. My son is enjoying better health and his digestion has also improved. Good habits start early.
