Wish I could find the hyperlink for you. Bear in mind I received the health newsletter months ago and I struggle to get my emails below 450! Due to my own reactions (allergic reactions to almost every food and even standard oral hygiene products that had never posed a problem before) there was no other explanation. Then, over a year later, I received that newsletter and felt vindicated! One oddity was a "healthy" mouthwash made with aloe vera juice. Just swishing in my mouth caused "gurgly gut" within seconds!

As to my not having a doctor, I've been subjected to rude, insulting, envious liars, incompetents, pervs and more. Even a previous mentally ill dentist did something-- Won't go into it. Let's just say he committed suicide one month later. Had a GYN tickle my love button. Another GYN hauled off and slapped my breast because I didn't flirt with him. Then there's the one who did an improper PAP smear. Inserting the speculum and didn't use a long cotton swab. Oh, noooooo. I heard a metal implement rattling as he inserted it in the speculum and gouged out a chunk of my cervix. A chunk so large that I bled into my panties all day long. Then there was the positively brutal female GYN. Had a Derm who was more than irked that I was well informed, via the Mayo Clinic, about my cutaneous mastocytosis. She's the one who lied to me about the lab results of my toenail fungus. How do I know she lied? Went for the follow up and was told by her "No, you don't have ....." Six months later went back and, due to being on night shift (work all night/sleep all day) with a very slim window of time for a normal daytime appointment, the only opening that worked with my schedule was with one of her partners. He looked at my chart and said, "Oh, I see you have....." So, he was honest but then proceeded to ridicule me because of all the supplements I take. I could go on but why bother? Let's just say I'm committed to self-care. Ironic since I come from a family of medical professionals. Grandfather was an MD. Grandmother was a Surgical Nurse. Dad was pre-med but opted for Finance eventually. Uncle was an MD. One of my living relatives is a PA. I, myself, worked in a hospital, reporting directly to and only to the Director of Nursing/Surgery & PACU.

I'll end on a sad note: I had a wonderful Dermatologist. Dr. Martha Post in Kentucky. She was murdered by a homeless man she helped. She would let him sleep in her office at the end of her workday. Yep, he strangled her.

Thanks for the good wishes!

Getting back to that compilation of data, I have good reason to remember this stat since I got the Pfizer double jab. Prizer was at the top of the list, the worst cause of "food hypersensitivity" with a 2.6% rate. Two or three people out of 100 doesn't sound like much but bear in mind these were patients who, like me, had no food allergies before... My only known "trigger" until the jab was tobacco smoke resulting in hives that turned into cystic acne and golf balls in the neck/swollen lymph nodes.
