Has any one tried Liver Flushing for allergies?

I'm highly skeptical.

There is no scientific evidence to support the claims made by proponants of liver flushing. It may even be a hazzerdous procedure for some people.

Remember that many people who get involved with this kind of stuff are also vegitarians. This is obviously a healthier lifestyle than eating a strip steak for dinner and washing it down with a milkshake. The liver flush probably does nothing, but the dietary modifications can help a lot.

I've found that certain foods irritate my sinuses, and tend to give me mild headaches, primarily chocolate and dairy. There are scientific reasons for this.

I agree.

I'm in the PROCESS of improving my diet. Several months ago and due to illness, I was forced to drastically change my diet for about a week. I consumed only juice, water and fruit. I know that this diet did not eliminate my allergies because w/in days of returning to my old diet, I had them again. However, while I was on my modified diet, I felt better. It helped with my illness and, suprisingly, with my allergies. I guess I wonder if the liver flush offers the body any opportunity to consume less.

Note that I have no known food allergies.

Hi Freznic:

What allergies do you have?

Up until 1996, I had hay fever only. My allergies to pollen and ragweed effected my sinuses (itchy eyes, runny/stuffy nose). In 96, I moved to California. The grass season impaired me every March through May. This gave me symptoms similar to asthma. Ever since that time, I've been quite sensitive (even though I'm out of California).

Now it's cats, dogs, trees and mold in addition to the above mentioned. Finally, I am sensitive to chemicals. My biggest problem has been paint (I think). Incidentally, I have stomach trouble associated with my respiratory trouble. I can often predict my abdominal bloating by the way my lungs feel. Strange, huh?

How about you?
