Hi, this is stacy Rene, and I wanna say thank you to Dr. Gary Levin for his new ebook. It was actually the only treatment that helped me self recover from urticaria hives. It was truly amazing.

I have been in pain for years. I had uncountable nights of no sleep or barely any sleep. I’ve spent lots of time at numerous doctors just wasting time over the years. Up to a few months ago, and that’s when I found Dr. Gary’s website and I used the eBook for simple and effective natural methods of treatment. Like I said, truly amazing. I was just using antihistamines and all kinds of over the counter drugs, prescription drugs, just to get some relief. They wouldn’t cure me, but just trying to get some relief.

My family and I are so happy now that I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you to you, Dr. Gary for your simple and effective natural methods of treatment. It took me about 4 weeks to get back to normal, but wow, I forgot how wonderful life could be. Thank you Dr. Gary, and for those of you watching, not only is Dr. Gary an amazingly intelligent person, but Dr. Gary is a truly wonderful person as well. He is just truly amazing. Again, thank you Dr. Gary. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Hi! My name is Warren, and I’ve been suffering with hives for the past 2 years. The pain was keeping me up at night and so I’ll go days without getting any sleep. Because I’m so exhausted and I was in pain a lot, I was really grumpy, and my family did not like it. For obviously reasons, no one likes a grumpy guy.

You know, I tried out all sorts of treatments and all the doctors I went through just wasted my time. I have just tried histamine and any other kind of drug that I can get, just to get some sort of relief, but you know, nothing was really working.

So, I am just so happy with Dr. Gary’s method that I wanted to make this video and say thank you so much for creating a method that was natural and really treated my hives. Not only were you able to help me  treat my hives, but you treated me like a person, and not just another patient. It only took me about 4 weeks to get back to normal, and Doc, I couldn’t be more thrilled. So my family and I would like to say “thank you” for giving me my life back. We really appreciate that.

People suffering from hives know how itchy the hives rashes can be, but sometimes the itching gets so bad that it becomes literally intolerable. When you experience that stage, do not forget to try these steps which will reduce the itching and burning .

If you want to show off your body by wearing tight clothes, postpone the show for some other time as these clothes can multiply the itching.

Most of the time the  itchy hives can be a great nuisance, but it is amazing that simply exposing the affected area to fresh air reduces the itching significantly.

Similarly, cooling down the affected with an ice pack, cool compression or simply a cloth dipped in cold water can reduce the itching.

However, even after trying all these steps if the itching is still persisting, you may take non-sedating over the counter antihistamines. But the best approach in this case would be to consult a hives specialist.

Next week, dermographism and its most common types will be posted along with some more valuable home remedies.

Hives be easy to get, but they can put up a great fight when you try to cure them. Though there are certain types e.g. acute hives, which usually vanish within a few hours after their outbreak, some other types e.g. chronic hives, can stay for much longer. The patient usually become disappointed after trying antihistamines or other expensive products. But if you follow these simple tips, you will minimize the chances of getting hives.

If you have a family history regarding hives, do not wait for the hives symptoms to appear, rather consult a qualified doctor for a early diagnosis.  Whether you are likely to get hives or not  start a proper hives treatment. Some people are allergic to certain items or foods, if you are one of them, avoid these allergens. If you have an over reactive immune system, you need to be extra careful as you have more chance of becoming prey to hives. Furthermore, you should avoid the extreme temperatures.

But what if you already have developed hives, and the itching has crossed all the limits of tolerance? Read my post next week and find out the best,simple solution.

Some hives patients might think learning the pathophysiology is unnecessary. It is the study of changes of normal biochemical functions, mechanical, and physical, in the human bodies which are caused by a disease or any other abnormal syndrome. So they might think this should be studied by medical students or DRs only, but if you know the hives pathophysiology, then the hives treatment will be a lot easier to manage.

The most common symptom of hives is the hives rashes. These rashes are caused by the release of certain fluids including histamines, bradykinin, leukotriene C4, and some other vasoactive fluids by the mast cells. Hives rashes can also involve  capillary or membrane damage as well. When these fluids e.g. histamines are released into the dermis, the hives rashes appear on the skin, which are itchy and usually red in color.

If you want to learn how you can stay safe from hives, do not miss the next post due in the upcoming week.

Hives is the common name of urticaria which can be a most uncomfortable condition. By learning about the hives you can get better equipped to help with hives treatment and the other related conditions.

Although the hives themselves are not deadly, their related conditions can be a serious threat to one’s life.
Hives usually have angioedema as their related condition. Angioedema is quite similar to hives in many aspects but in angioedema there is a swelling instead of welts, which occurs deeper in the skin. The swelling usually occurs on the face: around lips, eyes and that is why it is also called facial angioedema. If hives are accompanied by angioedema, they should be paid serious attention, especially if they occurred in response to an allergen. Furthermore, angioedema can cause suffocation and threaten the life of the patient, therefore a proper angioedema treatment should also be carried out when treating the hives.

Hives is actually the common name for urticaria. The most common cause of hives is a faulty autoimmune system however allergies, physical triggers and a family legacy can also be the cause.

Hives rashes are different from angioedema as they are evident by red and itchy wheals while angioedema is apparent by painless swelling. Hives are chronic if they persist more than seven weeks and reappear twice a week. H1 antagonists should be ingested along with oral antihistamines if the disease is not responding well to antihistamines alone.
