Plagued by Mysterious Hives?
by Heidi Whitaker
Chronic cases of hives can often be blamed on common food and food additives.
The foods most likely to trigger hives are nuts, shellfish, eggs, chicken and cured meats, chocolate, and citrus fruits.
Food additives that have been linked to hives include dyes, artificial sweeteners,
preservatives like benzoates, nitrites, and sorbic acid, polysorbates, and vegetable gums.
Studies show that 50-75% of people on diets that are free of these foods
or food additives experience significant reductions in hive symptoms.

outside of what conventional medicine can provide.
