CHRONIC HIVES….A MODERN MEDICAL ENIGMA
It is a disease of severe itching and temporary raised red welts. It can cover part of, or your entire body. Daily outbreaks can last an hour or two….or go on for days. Chronic Hives is thought to be an incurable disease. Doctors only treat the symptoms, but usually with a substantial degree of unsatisfactory results. What’s more, most of them don’t even comprehend the negative impact this disease has on the sufferer’s life. They think it is merely a “nuisance!” In a great many cases, doctors further damage the patients health by prescribing medicines which have devastating side effects and unpleasant consequences, sometimes permanent. This disease is the epitome of being between a rock and a hard spot!
But Chronic Hives is possibly at a turning point. In all the decades up to 1980 every physician in every country in the world explained to their patients with duodenal/stomach ulcers, that the cause of their problems was stress and overly spiced foods. Two years later, Robin Warren, an Australian pathologist and Barry Marshall, a clinical fellow following Warren’s work would introduce to the world that it was not stress or lifestyle choices causing peptic ulcer disease, but a heretofore unknown form of bacteria, Heliobactor pylori, that was responsible for causing over 90% of the disease! Because of this discovery, overnight, the treatment regimen for the disease changed completely. It is my personal belief that the same type of scenario is going to play out for the disease commonly known as CHRONIC HIVES. I have created this web site to introduce new information about this disease, challenge the existing theory about it, and promote a treatment which I used on myself to, at first control it, and later, to cure it. Here, let's not pretend that you aren't wondering if I am some kind of fake or screwball. If I was you instead of me, I would be wondering it, too. There are so many charlatans trying to make money off of false claims about treatments and cures for this disease. It's disgusting. I am not selling anything. I'm not making any money. No one is paying me to say something. Everything I'm saying is because I believe it. I'm telling the truth. And what I'm asking of the sufferer of hives is next to nothing. Just hear me out. Make up your own mind. Don't let others think for you. If you suffer from Chronic Hives as I once did, I hope you will read on.
Some believe that all of the treatments that a sufferer should try must come from the established medical community.…. the ones who barely understand this disease at all….if you are a sufferer, probably not as well as you do!) They believe you should sit back and wait for the medical community to solve your problems with Chronic Hives. I am absolutely a believer in Science….the search for the truth, no matter where the truth shall lead. But I disagree that it is prudent for hives sufferers to sit back and wait for the medical community—and doctors—to come up with a solution to their problem. From day one of the Medical Community's dealing with this disease—up to today—they have offered almost no actual progress! They’ve come up with a few new medicines to inadequately treat the symptoms, each having its own unpleasant side effects or inadequacies. They are helpless to move forward with a genuine cure! What’s more, after my personal experience and what led me to it, I think the Medical Community’s theory of hives is totally out of whack with reality! (More on that later.) While other support group thinks that what possible treatments become available for chronic hives, must come from the medical community via a doctor. I say “good luck” to those who are willing to wait. But in the approximately 35 years that I have been dealing with and studying chronic hives, I think the wait is not going to be years, but decades. There is another factor virtually ignored by some support groups: doctors and the treatments they prescribe do an incredible amount of damage to people’s bodies! 75%, or more, of the discussion on some support groups is about controlling the harm that doctors are doing to their patients...“side effect” issues: weight gain, skin sores, feeling generally miserable and unable to function, drowsiness….….and it does not stop! All the while, the biggest problem, of course, is that the intractable itching is not controlled! That is what the doctors, medical community—and some other support groups—offer most people with hives! The prognosis offered by the medical community is not promising.

I am not creating this web site and starting the discussion list to be a general “support group” forum. I am doing it to open people’s minds to the possibility that CHRONIC HIVES may be thoroughly different than what they now believe. I am not a doctor or medical scientist. I do not have the background, or access to the protocol that would allow me to introduce a radical theory to the medical community. But I fully believe that if a treatment (which I used) can be duplicated by others, then a radical change will ensue in the thinking and treatment of this disease. I am trying to “reverse engineer” a "grass roots" way to make medical progress. I believe it is achievable. Read about the simple treatment I used. Then join the discussion list I started and ask your questions.
This organization is born out of my belief that chronic hives is treatable and curable. The cost to do it is almost nothing! I believe that I have done this for myself. Several times over! While I firmly and sincerely believe that I have cured it in myself, and could do it again, I am only one person that is the beginning of learning if this is possible for anyone else. My experience alone does not rise to the level of irrefutable proof. The good news is that it is easy to do! But I include a caveat: there seems to be multiple sets of symptoms for CHRONIC HIVES. It is possible that we are lumping together several like diseases under one heading. My symptoms were for “classic” chronic hives. (Read the description of my hives.) If your symptoms fall outside of those, then you may have a different disease than me and everything I talk about may not apply to you. Perhaps later efforts made here will lead to positive discoveries for what ails you. For those with the classic symptoms I urge you to read on, join the discussion list, and consider contributing to the body of knowledge.
Me....not far from starting my second bout of Chronic HIves....
