Allergy
or Disease
According
to Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad D.C., L.Ac., R.N., Ph.D., allergy can be much more
than a runny nose, sneezing, hives, asthma or hay fever. Doctors and researchers
are now finding that allergic factors may be involved in most illnesses and
medical disorders. Statistics show that at least 50% of the population suffers
from some type of allergy. Scratch tests and blood tests often do not detect
them.
An
allergy can be caused by literally anything under the sun, including sunshine.
Many allergies are hereditary and may not exhibit symptoms until a later date.
It has been proven that, the stronger the genetic factor, the earlier the
probable onset. It is now possible to cure allergies, thus eliminating the
resulting medical disorder. Dr. Nambudripad's practice is based on a technique
she developed called (NAET) Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Treatment. One of
her case histories follows.
A 56
year old female suffered from cardiac asthma for 7 years. Whenever she went to
bed, she woke up with an asthma attack every few hours. Devi discovered she
bought a water bed 7 years earlier. Muscle testing revealed she was allergic to
water. After being treated for water with NAET, her cardiac asthma left. Details
on how this acupuncture treatment works can be found in the book Say
Goodbye to Illness by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad.
How
might this relate to a medical disorder? Well, if you are allergic to one or
more of the nutrients essential for proper heart function, your heart will never
be nourished. A malnourished heart will grow weaker and weaker. Allergies also
weaken the immune system. A weak immune system has difficulty repairing itself.
The weakest organ will be the first to go.
If you
find your health problems always happen at a particular time of year, perhaps
there is an environmental cause. Or perhaps you are handling or eating something
different than you usually do. Many heart attacks happen around the holidays.
Besides being a stressful time, many different foods are eaten, packages are
handled, envelopes are licked, and we experience various odors in malls and
stores. Any one of these could cause a hidden allergic reaction which manifests
itself as heart palpitations, etc.
The
next time you experience a health problem, think back over the past week to
determine if you did something differently. If it turns out to be an allergy,
consider eliminating it with NAET. For a list of practitioners, go to the bottom
of the Physician Reference List on this site and click on NAET
Practitioners.
If you're not inclined to spend the money on finding a
practitioner for something you're not sure will work, then
here is a method you can try first at no cost and in the
comfort of your own home. It works on the same
principle as NAET and is successful approximately 75% of the
time. You can always find a professional for a
stubborn case.
How to Cure Food Allergies in 1 Minute or Less
Stand up while alone in a quiet place and hold your allergen
in your left hand. Relax.
Place your right hand palm-up on top of your head and hold
that position for 30-60 seconds while breathing deeply.
Wait 24 hours before eating the offending food. This
gives your body time to process your instructions.
If your reaction has improved but is not quite not quite
cured, repeat the process every 24 hours until you're
satisfied.
Allergy,
Alkalinity and Acidity
According
to Dr. Susan Lark of The Lark Letter, "allergies are an inflammatory
reaction triggered by over-acidity." If you can restore your body's
alkalinity, the allergic reaction often vanishes. She recommends combining
one teaspoon of baking soda with a cup of spring water and 1000 mg of
bromelain. Unlike allergy drugs, this remedy won't leave you feeling
groggy.
Pulse Test to
Identify Food Allergies
-
Choose your
number-one suspected allergen and avoid it for 20 days.
-
Take your pulse at rest (five minutes after
sitting down), for 60 seconds. Your pulse can be found inside the bony
protuberance on the thumb side of your wrist.
-
Then eat more than usual of the number-one food
on your list of suspected allergens.
-
Take your pulse after 10, 30, and 60 minutes.
Make sure you take it sitting down, not having exerted yourself in any way for
the duration of 60 seconds.
-
Keep a record of any symptoms over the next 48
hours.
-
If your pulse increased by 10 points or if you
have any noticeable symptoms within 48 hours, avoid this substance and wait 48
hours before testing the next item on your list. If your pulse did not
increase by 10 points and you have no change in symptoms, reintroduce this
food (in moderation, not every day) into your diet, and proceed with the same
test for the next item on your list.
Tips for Detecting Allergens
How do you know if you are allergic
or sensitive to certain foods? Allergic reactions include hay fever, a stuffy
and running nose, itchy eyes, itchy skin, asthma or difficulty breathing,
headaches, bloating, water retention, facial puffiness, and discoloration around
the eyes. If you get three or more of these symptoms, as well as joint or muscle
aches, there is a good chance you are allergic to some food/s.
-
Avoid
all foods that you suspect may be causing a reaction, for 14
days, whether they are on the list below or not. Check the
contents of the foods you eat to see whether they contain any of
those below. Stock up with allergen-free foods before starting.
-
If you
are avoiding WHEAT, stay off all bread, cakes, biscuits, pasta,
cereals, white sauces made with wheat flour, etc. Alternatives
are oat cakes, rice cakes, genuine 100-percent rye bread such as
pumpernickel or rye, sauces made with corn flour, corn- or
oat-based cereals, and pastry made with corn and almond meal
instead of wheat.
-
If you
are avoiding all GRAINS stay off food containing wheat, rye,
oats, barley, corn, or spelt (an ancient wheat strain). You can
eat rice, millet, buckwheat, or quinoa. When you reintroduce
foods, start with corn, then oats, barley, spelt, rye, and
lastly wheat.
-
If you
are avoiding MILK, also stay off cheese, yogurt, butter,
chocolate, and foods containing milk products. Good alternatives
are soy milk or nut cream, made by blending nuts with water
(cashews are particularly good). Drink herb teas that do not
require milk, and have more beans, lentils, and tofu if cheese
is normally a major source of your protein.
-
If you
are avoiding YEAST stay off all breads (unless yeast-free),
yeast spreads, and beer. Be very careful to check the label,
especially on baked products.
-
Most of
all fill up with lots of fruit and vegetables, rice, beans,
lentils, tofu, fish, and gluten-free grains.
