HEALTH NEWS YOU CAN USE-Living Well
Written By: Dr. Robert Neposlan
Sometimes it seems like we should have been born with tissues under our noses. Believe it or not, an estimated 50 – 75% of the population suffers from
allergies of one type or another. Did you know that children miss more days of school due to allergies than any other health condition? What does this mean in terms of your child’s grades? Self esteem? And what about ADD/ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)? Did you know that 89% of children diagnosed with ADD/ADHD in Western medical testing tested positive for food dyes? We have found these and many other common allergens in children.
In general, people who have allergies react to substances that may be harmless to other people. Unfortunately, since most people don’t have immediate, violent reactions when exposed, it can be very difficult to identify the allergen. It is far more common to have less dramatic—even subtle—reactions that occur hours or even days after eating, breathing, being exposed to or touching an allergen. Some symptoms are so subtle and persistent that many people don’t even realize they are suffering from an allergy. We find this to be especially true with our patients.
In order to appreciate the work we do in helping allergy sufferers, we first must understand how we view allergies or how we define an allergy. In energy medicine (i.e. Chinese Acupuncture, our elimination protocol) an allergy is nothing more than an energy blockage in one of the body’s 12 energy channels. If you have enough of these blockages at some point you develop a symptom (allergy).
What is interesting is that over the last 10 years treating thousands of patients, we have found that many people have allergies or sensitivities to basic nutrients (vitamins and minerals) and everyday foods. These alone can lead to hundreds of different symptoms including asthma, ADD/ ADHD, chronic congestion, fatigue, migraines, sleep disturbances, skin issues and digestive problems etc. The problem is that some of the items that cause these blockages (allergies) are in every meal. For this reason, it is difficult for many people to make the connection between the food, nutrient or protein and the reactions they are having.
The good news is that…HELP IS HERE! We have developed a protocol for systematically identifying and addressing underlying energy imbalances that can lead to allergy symptoms. Using balancing energy techniques, allergies are quickly and painlessly identified so we can balance the body’s energy systems in the presence of offending items (allergen). The exciting thing is that through this whole process, there is no reaction, no reliance on drugs, no invasive skin testing and best of all… no pain involved.
Although allergies are extremely common, it is neither natural nor necessary to suffer from them. You can correct them now and enjoy a symptom-free life.
