Doris Rapp, M D

Pioneer in the Field of Environmental Medicine & Allergies

There are good reasons why Dr Rapp was on Oprah, Larry King and Donahue and even better reasons why she received 140,000 letters from one talk show.  She has a NY Times bestselling book that has many practical answers.

For example, if a food is causing your child to act  inappropriately, try 1-2 tsp of baking soda in some  water. It can help in a few minutes.

Are you worried that the school is about to begin and the phone calls from school about your child’s misbehavior and learning will start again? Maybe no one should blame either your child or you. Maybe it is simple a missed diagnosis or allergy or environmental illness.. Maybe you do not need that drug which covers up the symptoms and has a bad effect on your child. Would it not be better to find the real cause and eliminate it. Then there is nothing to treat. If you have allergies in your family, your child might not have hay fever or asthma but might simply have an unrecognized form of allergy from dust, molds, pollen, foods or chemicals. The allergenic exposure could be affecting different areas of the brain or body, so your child feels, acts, behaves, walks, talks, writes and draws different than normal. This can happen suddenly for no apparent reason.  The answer might be easy and fast to treat—and if it is a food, it can also be very inexpensive.  Many mothers have reported they have a new child in 5 to 7 days after a special allergy diet and an air purifier. Check out some of Dr, Rapp’s simple inexpensive “how to” books on drrapp.com.  See the unusual ways that some allergic children can suddenly look, feel, act, and write on the DVD entitled Environmentally Sick Schools.  Is that how your child changes?  Does your child develop the characteristic look or change in handwriting before some outburst? The answers sometimes are easy to find.  Check out Dr Rapp’s website. If your child’s too challenging, or complex, call for a mini or detailed discussion. Dr Rapp has over 40 years experience and she sincerely wants to help you and your child, as quickly and inexpensively as possible. Maybe this is the answer you have been looking for. Maybe those powerful psychotropic drugs will not be necessary. You can sometimes tell in a five to seven days.

A Fast, Easy Allergy Diet for Behavior and Activity Problems.

Our Toxic World

Some brands of laundry detergents contain chemicals such as 1, 4 dioxane which is a synthetic chemical that is known to cause cancer. This should make you consider using “green” products from a health food store. But the key bottom line question is: How can you tell if your detergent is bothering you or your loved ones? Here are some clues to help you.

Do you get sick in any way when in contact with your present detergent? Do you get ill from walking down the aisle in the store where these soaps are located? Sensitivities can be much more than hay fever, asthma or itchy rash. Some people develop fatigue, headaches, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, an inability to think clearly, problems writing, walking or talking, depression, joint or muscle pain, and even irregular heart beat or high blood pressure. If you notice such symptoms, it helps to get away from the smell and breathe fresh air. If the symptoms are severe, some people need to inhale oxygen in an emergency room.

If you have a chemical sensitivity it is not unusual to notice that a wide variety of chemical smells seem to cause symptoms.  It is possible for a fabric softener or bleach to also cause symptoms when you are doing the laundry.  If these are factors you might notice the day you change the sheets you cannot sleep well at night. Some people wheeze or develop hay fever from freshly laundered sheets because of what’s left on linens. Many persons are also sensitive to items such as perfume, scented body products, gasoline in your car or a leaky natural gas furnace, stove or hot water heater. Any of these exposures can make you ill in some way

The next clue is that you can smell odors before anyone else. Others insist you are wrong, but you are not. The sense of smell can become hyper-acute when you are chemically sensitive.

Many people who are sensitive to chemicals, in time notice that certain foods also seem to bother them. Some food sensitivities can be helped in 15 minutes  by taking 1-2 tsp of baking soda in a half glass of water.

ADD, ADHD and Organophosphates

A recent report indicated that there appears to be a link between ADD or  ADHD and organophosphate chemicals ( malathion, Diazinon®, parathion, and Dursban® ). Many parents have noted that chemicals can adversely affect how their children feel, act, behave and learn. My book entitled “Our Toxic World, a Wake Up Call” discusses this in great detail.

Who is most apt to have this type of problem? The children (or adults) who have obvious allergies or very allergic close relatives.

How can you tell by looking at a child (or adult)? They tend to have red earlobes or cheeks, dark eye circles, bags under their eyes, nose rubbing and/or wiggly legs just before sudden unexplained changes in their activity and behavior.

How can you figure out the specific cause? If it is a chemical, the above changes occur within minutes after smelling something such as lawn spray, fabric softeners, a perfume, a pesticide, a smelly disinfectant or deodorant,  aerial fogging  for insects, natural gas odor leaks  from a stove or furnace, swimming pool chemicals, freshly dry cleaned clothing, a new synthetic mattress or carpet. (Similar changes might also be noted within an hour after an allergic child with ADHD is exposed to dust, molds, pollen or certain foods.) Sometimes such reactions, especially to foods, can be stopped in about 15 minutes with a teaspoon of baking soda in water.

How can such reactions be treated?

  • The best treatment is avoidance. Exhale as hard as you can and get away from the offending odor as soon as possible and breathe cleaner air.

  • If the reaction is extreme, go to an emergency room. Oxygen at 6 liters per minute, at a few ten minute intervals, typically helps.

There are also some newer ways to treat allergies called Provocation/Neutralization and it is possible to treat some chemical sensitivities, such as to chlorine, fluoride or hydrocarbons or formaldehyde, with an allergy extract.

If You Suspect Food & Environmental Allergies…

FIRST: Think of any significant changes in your life just prior to the time when your symptoms began.

* Was it a pollen season?

* Had you just moved or started a new job or school?

* Did you purchase a new mattress, carpet, furnace, and furniture?

* Did you paint or pesticide your home?

* Did you remodel or repair something in your home? Construction materials can cause illness.

* Was there an upset in your health (infection / operation) or an extreme stress in life, home, family?

CAUSES RELATED TO FOODS

* If you could not tolerate milk formulas or breast milk as an infant, regardless of your present age, there is a good possibility that milk and dairy continue to be a problem. This is especially true if you love dairy, or hate milk but love cheese or ice cream. continue reading…

If you were exposed to too much of one chemical at one time, you may find that in the future, the tiniest bit of any chemical, any place can cause a recurrence of your original symptoms.

This is called the “spreading phenomenon.” Those who are fortunate and have no chemical sensitivity often will not believe you. No one doubts that pollen allergies only affect certain people but for some strange reason, they do not believe that chemicals can affect only some who happen to be sensitive. May they never find out how wrong they were!

It is a way to test and treat patients for allergies. During P/N testing it is possible to reproduce and then eliminate a person’s specific symptoms. It is therefore very helpful in pinpointing cause and effect relationships so someone can identify exactly which exposure to an allergenic substance is causing which specific symptoms. Environmental medical specialists, often also certified in pediatrics or internal medicine, know how to do this testing.

How is it done?

Dry, cracked lips
Red rash around mouth
Bloating shortly after eating
Belching or rectal gas after eating. (What you taste is a suspect clue)
Bad breath (This is often due to milk, eggs or wheat)
Dark black, blue or red eye circles
Bags under the eyes
Wrinkles under the eyes
Nose wiggling or rubbing
A horizontal wrinkle across the bridge of the nose
Sneezing in bouts
A mottled tongue with bald island-like patches
The following are the common physical clues that are common, but not recognized as being caused by foods or other allergenic exposures.
