you are welcome , I felt like I needed to share this because it can cause all sorts of problems with us all having a weak immune system , i know kidney infection is one of them , we all have enough to cope with , without bloody infections to deal with ❤️

I have some severe , and moderate allergies. I can't use most perfumes, scented soaps, or scented car air fresheners, scented dryer sheets, and most scented candles. Believe it or not I am almost the girl in the bubble from the movie The Boy in the Bubble. I can't wear some clothing with some dyes, and I can't have any metal except sterling, or gold jewelry. Don't let me get into severe animal allergies, even sitting next to someone in a public space. I thank GOD for allergy test, allergy shots, and medications, and a trusty Epinephrine Pen if I should have a severe allergic reaction Amen. 😇✝️👍🙏

I am questioning whether there is a link to people like us with allergies, and a more likely diagnosis of certain cancer occurrences. I am even questioning if I was born with some immuno-deficiency gene. I was the only one sick out of the 4 children my Mom, and Dad had growing up. I even remember my Mom saying to the Dr. She is always the sick one. I saw some information on this in the past. If our very sensitive bodies are constantly fighting allergens is it easier for the cancer cells to get in at a time when our bodies immune system is also trying to fight a Flu Virus . Covid, or RSV. I am going to do some more research. I eat by my blood type 95% of the time, which is a customized for me in everything that I ingest in my body. I also take Bromelaine, a natural capsule that is great for my allergies, and my Asthma . I Haven't used my Asthma Inhaler in 5 years. I have only used my Nasal Inhaler 10 times in the last 5 years, when I got Covid, or a Flu. 😶🙃🫢

Hi , I know what you mean , there could be a link to certain cancers and allergies , we will probably hear more about it in the future, when more research is done ❤️

Yesss

I have no allergies but I have cancer. My brother and his wife have allergies but no cancer. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[monkeygirl62 in reply to Kerryd22]

Maybe it is more related to being immunocompromised rather than just allergies as we know them. Majority of people with allergies aren't necessarily immunocompromised. And many people, with many different types of cancer, don't have allergies. So I wouldn't necessarily see a correlation to allergies but maybe 🤔 being immunocompromised.

My SIL is known for catching every cold, flu or sniffle that’s going around. She was diagnosed as an adult with asthma and then she had an asthmatic response to perfume and now it’s spicy food. The merest hint of spice and she’s got breathing problems. Now my brother has caught the same spice induced problems. 😂 I just hold my tongue and let them get on with it. I think you’re right about the compromised immunity but in my case I haven’t had the flu since 1998 and that was five years after my previous flu which I only caught because I was in Japan in time for flu season. I did eventually get a mild dose of Covid but symptoms lasted an entire day and that was it. Yet I’m the one with the low WBC etc. and cancer. It’s very odd but while my immune system failed to prevent cancer cells from occurring and then spreading I am still here so it must be working to some degree and probably a very high degree considering my general good health. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Kerry, my sister is has asthma too and is always sick but we know she has some kind of immune system problem going on, she also lives in LA area with bad air quality. That really contributes to her health problems. The doctor started to test her immune system but the tests are not all done yet nothing conclusive right now. Sybille is the caregiver for our mom so hasn't been able to get the tests finished. Anyway, I have two different cancers at the same time and no real allergies. I wonder how many people living in southern California get cancer, you know from the pollution there. It's just a thought on my part. I do know radon is a factor towards lung cancer. That's something I didn't know until recently.

yes, with all the meds we take in general, it’s important to treat mucous membranes with care. For a helpful idea, you can try putting a few drops of lavender essential oils on the inside of tp roll. It gives you the effect without issues.

Hi Thankyou , thats a great idea, I love lavender. ❤️
