Hives, part 2: a “simple” matter of swelling?

6/21/2017

Hives swelling, redness, immune system over-triggered, causes of acute and chronic hives
So, in the last post I asked the question, what might be happening when our immune system has been “over-triggered” by a pathogen or allergen, that could then lead to the formation of a hive? Well, we talked previously about how the blood vessels were like pipelines that deliver things to and take things from various places in our bodies. When our immune system is over-triggered, a rush of cells and fluid are piped over to the site of the trigger. If you look first at the two illustrations depicting what is happening in wound healing, you see a scenario similar to what is happening in the case of hives. It is also accompanied by a rise in body temperature, which is sometimes enough to kill some of the pathogens that triggered our immune response.

But then why do hives spread all over the body, or cover vast regions of the body, where the initial irritation did NOT occur? It is a question that the medical and research community still haven’t solved. But in principle, this swelling results from the rush of immune cells and fluid out of the pipeline and into the region to start the process of healing. And as we mentioned in our introduction, the immune system can be over-triggered.

When you look at the bottom graphic, you’ll see that a hives outbreak can be classified into two categories: acute and chronic. Possible causes are in the red and blue boxes, but what’s in the black box is what’s of most concern to folks like me who have had a massive hives reaction. The reason is because this list is full of ordinary, everyday triggers, such that it can lead one to a state of paranoia over anything and everything!

So in the next post, we’ll continue to talk about the mysteries of hives, treatment, and a philosophical approach to living in the specter of a future hives outbreak.

Learning that you have HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS(HPV) can be one of the most difficult experiences you go through in life. You may feel scared, sad or even angry – this is OK, and a completely natural part of coping with something that can be life changing.

It will probably take a while for the news to sink in.

I remember spending so much money buying drugs like Gardasil, Imiquimod (Aldara), and Podofilox(Condylox) from hospitals hoping that i will be cured, but all to no avail. I contacted so many doctors and they prescribe Antiviral, which they indeed tried their best but was unable to provide for me a possible cure, luckily a good friend of mine told me to a herbal doctor website, (Dr. Vikraft Sambo).

At first i never wanted to contact him because i have been fraud by lots of online scam. After much chat and enquiry with the doctor, i decide to take a leap of faith because i have nothing to loose.

To my greatest surprise, Dr. Vikraft Sambo NEVER DEMANDED FOR AN UPFRONT FEE when i contacted him. All he did was to give me a Herbal Medicine and guidelines on how i am to take them. I followed all procedures as instructed, and after 11 days i went back for a check up, and i was tested NEGATIVE of HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS(HPV).

I just want to encourage all individuals out there living with HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS(HPV), That there is still a huge chance that you can get well again.

You can contact Dr. Vikraft Sambo using his email (vikraft.sambo@gmail.com). or visit his website below for more details;

Doctor Vikraft Sambo will never ask you for an upfront fee payment.

BEWARE OF FRAUDSTERS ONLINE.
