what Are Allergies ?
The definition of Allergy according to Wikepedia [1] – a disorder of the immune system which is a form of hypersensitivity. Allergic reactions occur to normally harmless environmental substances known as allergens; these reactions are acquired, predictable, and rapid. Strictly, allergy is one of four forms of hypersensitivity and is called type I (or immediate) hypersensitivity. It is characterized by excessive activation of certain white blood cells called mast cells and basophils by a type of antibody known as IgE, resulting in an extreme inflammatory response. Common allergic reactions include eczema, hives, hay fever, asthma attacks, food allergies, and reactions to the venom of stinging insects such as wasps and bees.
Allergy Symptoms and Situations
Mild allergies like hay fever are highly prevalent in the human population and cause symptoms such as allergic conjunctivitis, itchiness, and runny nose. Allergies can play a major role in conditions such as asthma. In some people, severe allergies to environmental or dietary allergens or to medication may result in life-threatening anaphylactic reactions.
A variety of tests now exist to diagnose allergic conditions; these include testing the skin for responses to known allergens or analyzing the blood for the presence and levels of allergen-specific IgE. Treatments for allergies include allergen avoidance, use of anti-histamines, steroids or other oral medications, immunotherapy to desensitize the response to allergen, and targeted therapy.
Allergy Statistics [2]
The cost of allergies to the Australian economy is more than $7 billion per year, and most Australians face a wait many months to see a specialist, if they can access care at all. These are among key findings in a report by Access Economics to be released by the Australasian Society for Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA).
The estimated cost to Australians who suffer from allergy due to reduced quality of life (the “burden of disease”) is estimated at $21.5 billion, approximately double the estimated figures for arthritis ($11.7 billion) and hearing loss ($11.7 billion).
Not only does Australia have one of the highest prevalence’s of allergic disorders in the developed world, but recent studies have demonstrated a doubling in some conditions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever), eczema but more recently, potentially dangerous anaphylaxis (mainly due to food) as well. Asthma, hay fever, chronic sinusitis and “other allergy” comprise 4 of the top 10 most common long-term self-reported illnesses in youth aged 12-24 years in Australia.
Allergic disorders mostly affect children and young adults and have a negative impact on quality of life. In children these disorders affect sleep, impair learning, memory and behaviour. Children with food allergies are also at significant risk, and the condition means extra stress for their families over issues such as care at school, risk of death and the need for emergency medication in the form of injectable adrenaline.
In adults, allergic disorders lead to impaired quality of life, increased absenteeism from work, reduced productivity when they are at work and are a significant financial burden.
How NLP Can Help you Naturally Overcome Allergies?
According to NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Allergy is like a phobic reaction by the immune system – an inappropriate and overwhelming response to a harmless substance. The immune system has made a mistake and identified a harmless substance as being dangerous when it really isn’t and the allergic response is an inappropriate reaction by the immune system. The immune system can learn and retrain very quickly. The NLP allergy technique is very successful in retraining the immune system.
The NLP Allergy Technique [3]
NLP has now been applied thousands of times in clinical and training settings and has been effective in changing a vast majority of allergy symptoms. The types of allergies have included those to airborne material, such as smoke, pollen, perfume, etc., to various foods, and even in cases involving asthma.
In the Summer of 1994, a controlled clinical test of the allergy Process was conducted with approximately 120 allergy sufferers. The study was conducted under the supervision of Dr. David Paul at a hospital in Vail, Colorado. The study showed that the allergy Process produced significant reduction in the symptoms of many types of allergies, in particular food allergies
I had great success with this technique both with children and adults here is what one of my clients had to say:
“ When I came to you, I was then having a little pot belly, I had asthma, you put me in hypnotherapy, you helped me that with the dust and the cats. I am not allergic to dust or cats anymore. And my health, I feel a lot fitter now. I exercise just about every second day or everyday nearly sometimes. I am starting to tone up. When I came to you I was starting to feel really dreadful physically, but now I’m feeling a lot better about it, and I really look forward to exercising, maybe sometimes I got to push myself but I really do enjoy it.”
Hypnosis and Allergies
Hypnosis is also very effective in treating allergies and asthma. By working with the subconscious mind and uncovering the root cause of the allergy existing resources can be accesses and suggestions can be given to help the immune system correct and retrain itself.
There is no need to suffer from this problem the solutions is a phone call away.
