Just wanted to be sure everyone who needs to know has heard about the possible link between the asthma drug [Singulair and suicide](http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/newstex/AFX-0013-24066717.htm "Singulair and suicide").

Asthma can often be an effect of hidden food allergies: an elimination diet with gradual reintroduction of foods can often show where the culprits lie.

Sometimes the allergy is to vapors or other airborne pollution. If I had an asthmatic family member I would be strict about keeping a green home, only using scent-free and environmentally-friendly cleaning products, laundry soap, and skin care products. The more I could offer purely organic foods, the better it would be for that highly sensitive asthmatic.

Asthma and other allergic reactions (hives, eczema, sinus problems…) are a sign that the body has crossed over its tolerance threshold. Unfortunately, once you cross over that threshold to a great enough extent, it is incredibly difficult to dip back underneath it.

Every person has a different biologic threshold for toxins, chemicals, and other irritants, and you could cross that tolerance threshold at any time, without warning, although it often follows a period of intense exposure to a man-made substance.

I know: **I hived daily for three years** before I was able to clean out my system and my environment enough to duck back underneath that threshold. Now I’m thankful every day that I wake up without hives. If this has ever happened to you, you must know _exactly_ how I feel!

To be blunt: the hives sucked.
