Ive reported on several forums for a couple of years now about how Ive beaten most of my allergies with MSM, Bragg Vinegar, and local raw honey; I ve also reported how sleeping on a Crock Device has generally kept my sinuses clear of nearly everything else.
What I havent reported is that there have been a very few but very notable exceptions of allergy attacks that have occurred mostly at night that I had not the foggiest notion of a cause. Ive finally nailed it down. It has taken 3 distinct and memorable attacks and one instant of blinding realization, but Ive got this thing hammered down now: It is CORN! CORN CORN CORN CORN CORN!!!!! I wont try to bore everyone with all of the specific details of the three attacks, all of which have happened within the last two months. Ill try to keep this to the essentials. I have generally avoided corn for about 2 years as part of trying to lower my carb intake, and as part of realizing that whole grains in general are not good at all for me and my metabolic type, and that modern grains bear little resemblance to the foods our ancestors ate. But, I am a child of the American South, and avoiding corn altogether here is dang near impossible. Why who ever heard of such a stupid thing; corn being bad for you. I grew up on corn, corn soup, corn on the cob, creamed corn, cornmeal mush, cornbread, hushpuppies (deep fried corn meal fritters for you non-southerners), and grits. My grandparents would roll over in their graves if they knew what Im saying. At this time I think grits are not at fault. Grits are ground hominy, which is corn denuded of its bran and germ by a lye soak. I think its the germ, not the starchy insides of the kernel, to which Im allergic. Anyway, grits are nutritionally worthless, and I rarely eat them these days. But there it is, without going into all the details, Ive found that I am very badly allergic to corn. This goes a long way towards explaining my 17 years of chronic sinusitis, and may explain some of my lapses of health in the past 5 years of recovery. Just this past late winter I had 2 months of sickness that I just could not understand. I have stated on these forums that I thought it was because I got slack with all of my various health routines. Now however, I distinctly remember going through a period of eating corn chips back then. Could it be that I unwittingly set myself up for all of that sickness with my appetite? To all of you who are dealing with allergies, youve got something else to consider now. It may be what youre eating as much or more than what youre breathing. Daddybob, a corn eater no more. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
