Food allergy 11655...India
The 52-year-old female practitioner had a history of frequent episodes of breathlessness, a choking feeling, and dry cough since age seven. Each episode would last 10-15 minutes, sometimes persisting through the night. Excessive speaking worsened her symptoms which were treated by her doctor but sometimes antibiotics didn’t work. A concoction of black pepper, ginger, and honey with hot water provided relief but it was temporary.
As she grew older, breathlessness and choking feeling abated, but the cough persisted. Despite trying ayurveda, homoeopathy, and allopathy, permanent relief eluded her. At age 25, an allergy test revealed sensitivity to rice, potato, peanuts, guava, and watermelon amongst many others. She had to undergo a month’s course of steroids for quick relief, thereafter she avoided allergenic foods, although skipping her favourite - rice, proved challenging. During severe bouts, when antihistamines did not help, she had to resort to steroids.
On 24 Apr 2023, a severe cough resurfaced after accidental intake of some allergenic food. Homoeopathic remedy (Aconite 30C) gave very little relief; even when taken with prescribed steroids for a week, relief was marginal. On 1 May 2023, just two days after she qualified as an AVP, she stopped taking all medication and started with vibro:
CC4.10 Indigestion + CC19.3 Chest infections chronic + CC19.6 Cough chronic…TDS
She carefully avoided allergenic foods. Within six days by 7 May, the cough was completely gone! On 10 July, while away from home, she had to consume rice as no substitute was available and astonishingly, there was no trace of a cough! Confident of her cure, she reduced the dosage to OD for a week and then OW for a month before stopping it on 18 Aug. As of Feb 2024, she is absolutely fine and can enjoy all foods.
Editor’s comment: Excellent case of 45-year-old food allergy vanishing in six days of vibro treatment!
