A Secret Cause of Allergies!

My Unusual Allergy Background

My interest in the cause of allergies developed in an unusual way. I didn't care about allergies.

I didn't want to know about allergies, and they were the furthest thing from my mind; that is, until they started to kill me.

That's not an exaggeration; I was dying. I had become allergic to just about all foods, vitamins, amino acids, minerals, the environment, and most of my organs and glands. Of course I went to see doctors and specialists, who told me that my blood work was normal and they didn't understand my problem.

At one point, during an especially severe attack, I was lying on the floor, alone, the room spinning around me, my heart pounding and sweat pouring from my skin. I crawled to the phone intending to call 911, but decided to hang-up. Instead, right there on the floor, I gave myself an energy-based allergy treatment, a technique I had learned to rely on, and the attack subsided.

Here, you may discover a few things that will impact your own health.

Since I had one of the worst cases of allergies ever documented, and eventually cured them despite the misdirection and interference of orthodox medicine, then my story may potentially save you some time and suffering. I truly hope it does.

What You Need to Know About Allergies

What You Need to Know About AllergiesAllergies are one of the most common medical disorders that afflict people today. It is commonly estimated that 60 million Americans, or about one in every five people, suffer from some form of allergy.

That figure may be underestimated, though. A large national allergy study reported that 54% of individuals up to age 59 tested positive for at least one allergen. In addition, some allergens have a higher prevalence than others.

For example, about 25% of the population tested positive for allergies to several specific substances; namely: dust mites, rye, ragweed, and cockroaches.

Conventional allergy doctors will explain that the cause of allergies is an overreaction of your immune system when it encounters substances that should be considered harmless. They will say that your body produces IgE antibodies in response to these allergens and that these antibodies bind to mast cells and basophils in the bloodstream.

These IgE antibodies cause the mast cells and basophils to release chemicals like istamine, which precipitate an allergic reaction. These allergic reactions can involve annoying gastrointestinal symptoms, nasal symptoms, and symptoms involving the eyes, lungs, and skin.

I recommend the following:

Allergy Recommendations
  • Do a full body detoxification; I think you'll find that the DrNatura company has some excellent detox products.

  • Learn to perform muscle testing so you can identify your allergies. This is the most valuable skill I've ever learned as it set me free from a dependence on ineffective medical doctors who didn't understand the true cause of allergies.

  • Learn to perform your own energy-based allergy treatments. This is a great skill you can use to eliminate your own allergies and those of your loved ones. You will also save a great deal of money by doing the treatments yourself. Here's how you can eliminate your own allergies at home.

Conventional Allergy Treatment

Americans are seriously looking for allergy relief as evidenced by the amount of money they spend on this problem. Allergies are one of the leading causes of chronic disease in America and they are responsible for a health care cost of almost $20 billion dollars each year.

Do all the patients who see physicians about this problem find relief from their allergies; Do they discover their true cause of allergies? Definitely not! They receive what amounts to a tiny band-aid placed over a relentless, seething, open wound. They are told to take drugs to alleviate their symptoms.

Patients may receive antihistamines to control their symptoms, they might be told to use nasal sprays for temporary relief, and they might even receive weekly immunotherapy injections which may eventually desensitize their bodies to certain allergens.

Do you notice that these mainstream treatments only pertain to environmental allergies? What about food-related allergies and sensitivities? The solution that conventional doctors have for us with regard to food allergies is avoidance; we need to avoid the foods that cause our symptoms. This is what the American health care system can do for us. Well, that's just not good enough; in fact, it's pathetic!

Energy-Based Allergy Treatment

Energy-Based Allergy TreatmentI learned about energy-based allergy treatment by going to NAET doctors. The Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique treats allergies with a mixture of acupuncture theory, chiropractic, and kinesiology (muscle response testing) and it is successful with about 80% of the patients who receive treatment.

This technique tests you in a painless way, and it treats you in a noninvasive way that eliminates allergies and sensitivities in about one day. At first the technique worked very well for me. This technique will eliminate stubborn allergies such as: cat allergy, mold allergy, pollen allergy, and food allergies.

After a while, though, my treatments no longer "held", and the allergies would return after several days. I tried three different NAET doctors and they were all knowledgeable and professional, but they just didn't fully understand the true cause of allergies. One of these doctors said to me, "you now know as much about NAET as I do."

My allergies had become so severe that I had to learn to perform energy-based treatments myself; I was giving myself between 7 and 12 treatments per day in order to fend-off debilitating symptoms and continue eating.

I had also become quite adept at muscle testing in order to identify my allergies, but I was also doing some advanced muscle testing where I could ask general questions, receive accurate answers, and narrow down complicated issues to the point where I would learn the underlying reasons for my symptoms. You do this through a questioning process that is very much like a process of elimination. By doing this type of testing, you can get to the truth of the matter.

The Toxic Truth

Escape Your Allergies!After a long, four year allergy crises that almost ruined my life, I learned through advanced muscle testing that my body was not functioning properly because of toxins. These were not common toxins that you would normally hear about, like sugar substitutes, food dyes, MSG, toxic mold, or chlorine.

These were a little known class of toxins that chemically resemble hormones. They actually fit into receptors in your body where hormones are supposed to go. Essentially, these toxins make your endocrine system go haywire because your hormones can no longer do their job.

These toxins include: dioxins, PCBs, plasticizers, and numerous pesticides. For more information on these toxins, see Our Stolen Future, by Theo Colborn. Oh, if you are thinking you could not possibly have accumulated any toxins in your body, consider this.

In her book, Green This, Deirdre Imus explains that there are 80,000 chemicals being used in consumer products today, the majority of which have never been tested for safety. Do you know how many of these chemicals the FDA has banned or restricted so far? Five; just five!

Well, I guess that's OK, though, since all the human "guinea pigs" in the U.S. can test these chemicals for the FDA!

There are holistic doctors such as George Best, an ASERT (Allergy and Sensitivity Elimination and Reprogramming) doctor in Texas, who are starting to spread the word about how endocrine disruptor toxins contribute to allergies. In his article, "When Allergy Shots Don't Work," Dr. Best explained that in his experience when immunotherapy injections or energy-based allergy treatments did not work for patients, then in every single case those patients tested positive for heavy metal toxicity. Are we finally moving closer to discovering a true cause of allergies? Also, there are some progressive, actively involved countries taking action on this topic. For example, Canada has been very active in the study of endocrine disruptor chemicals. Canada's Northern Contaminants Program has investigated three metals that it suspects are endocrine disruptors: mercury, cadmium, and lead.

No wonder my blood tests came back normal. My hormone levels appeared to be perfectly normal because there were "imposters" posing as hormones in my body. Apparently, blood tests cannot tell the difference between real hormones and toxins that mimic hormones.

Why don't doctors know this, for heaven's sake? Nevertheless, I did a thorough detox and the results were immediate.

Many allergies disappeared, my energy-based treatments started to work beautifully on my remaining allergies, and my symptoms were significantly reduced.



Get Started HERE



Although I utilized muscle response testing to discover and identify the toxins that were making me sick, I understand you may not have access to this type of testing. There are some clinical laboratories that offer help in this area. For example, Metametrix Clinical Laboratory performs a variety of useful tests that provide a clinical picture of an individual's toxic burden. Although patients can not order these tests for themselves, Metametrix provides a clinician referral service whereby they can help find you a doctor in your area who has an active account with their lab.

The Problem with NAET

The Problem with NAETIt is a know fact that NAET does not work for about 20% of patients who try it. After enduring an allergy crises for several years, I believe I know why. Many of us have toxins that are making our immune systems and endocrine systems malfunction, and this prevents energy-based allergy treatments from working properly.

I've had three different NAET doctors and one Bioset doctor, and not one of them ever suggested that I should detox. They simply had me come back to their offices for more and more treatments.

This was frustrating, expensive, inconvenient, and completely unproductive. If you are suffering with allergies or immune system problems, let me tell you what I've learned so that you can avoid some of my mistakes.

Find a lab that tests for heavy metals and toxins. Some labs require that your physician order the test, and they will let you know what doctors are affiliated with their lab, just in case you need to find a doctor.

Consider doing a full body detox before starting energy based allergy treatments. There are many fine products on the market, such as those by Dr. Natura. By doing so, you may potentially eliminate an important cause of allergies and your energy based treatments might be more effective.

Do a bit of research on hormone disrutor chemicals. We are ingesting these dangerous toxins from numerous sources and they can wreak havoc with our health. As new research emerges, perhaps we can move closer to the reason why allergies are escalating so dramatically. Perhaps we soon find the true cause of allergies.
