The Subconscious Is A Powerful Thing

It can begin with mother's milk.  Some mother's couldn't breast feed their baby, or chose not to, and gave the child a substitute 'milk'.  Any newborn is going to know that the substitute milk isn't Mom.  If it was you, and you were the baby, how would you feel knowing you were getting the wrong milk.  This milk substitution often becomes the first allergy.  When negative emotions and foods are combined the result can be a sensitivity, or allergic reaction.  It can happen with mother's own breast milk as well.  If she is tired, upset, or angry when she attempts to breast feed the baby, and the infant picks up on it, this also can cause an allergy to her milk, and a colic reaction. 

 Food Allergies Can Lead To Environmental Allergies

Food allergies is where sensitivities usually begin.  And, they can be transferred to other things like animal fur, cotton, perfumes, industrial chemicals, fabric softeners, medications, plastics, metals, and more.  The incidence of allergies has increased greatly in our society due to chemical exposure in the environment.  Things aren't made of wood anymore, and if they are made of wood, the glue used in lamination gives off chemical fumes that are often offensive to the body.  Just go into your local department store with all of the formaldehyde dyes in the cloth, and plastic items for sale, and see how you feel when you come out of the store. 

There has been a great increase in asthma in children in recent years, and many are being born with it because the mother has sensitivities and she may not even know that she has them.  Smog in big cities affects everyone in a negative way, by displacing oxygen and causing allergic reaction.  This is another common cause for asthma and sinusitis. 

What the body does not recognize or understand, will lower its energy level.  The body, when it comes into contact with what it views as a poison or an offender, will close down related acupuncture points, in order to save itself.  The allergic reaction is really the body trying to protect itself.  When the allergies persist for many years, sometimes the body will get 'confused' and even see the cells or organs of the body as an offender and attack itself as well.  This can become auto immune disease such as Lupus, or Rheumatoid Arthritis. Molds are another big offender.  Some die from exposure to mold in their own homes.  Mold has an arsenic affect on the body. There is an increase in buildings being designated as “sick” due to chemical toxicity.  Businesses and homes are being built more air tight, and this causes a greater exposure to chemicals and molds in a more confined area.

Allergies Can Cause Emotional Problems & The Reverse

Allergies can increase after physical or emotional traumas.  When a person has a cold and is exposed to a new food, or combination of foods the association to the cold can create an allergic link to the foods.  Later, when the person is well, and they are served the same food, or food combination a runny nose, or other allergic response may occur.  Likewise, if you are yelled at while eating a certain food, or physically injured while eating, your body will view that food as unsafe because it now has a negative, harmful association.  This association goes straight into the subconscious mind, and into the body memory.

The findings of Dr. Robert Ader, who coined the term psychoneuroimmunology, illustrate conditioning associated with tastes and foods. He did the first study of how our body can become conditioned to associate whatever is going on with the foods they are eating.  In an experiment, Dr. Ader gave mice an immune suppressant drug in a saccharine solution. A month later, he gave the mice just the saccharine solution. In response to the taste alone, the immune system function of the mice decreased.  This was ground breaking research.  As the immune suppression had been conditioned to the taste of the saccharine, just as a trauma is conditioned to a certain food or smell.

As most people are aware, allergies tend to run in families, and this sensitivity can also be behavioral, or learned from a parent.  When an overly worried mother has allergies, or hypochondria, she can tell the child what foods, situations, or things in the environment that it is allergic to, or to be afraid of.  And, the child will believe her, and respond to her, and develop the suggested allergic reaction. 

The Last Straw Affect

You might have a reaction to 4 or 5 things, and show no allergic sensitivity at all.  But, when the 6th. item is introduced into the mix, it takes the body over the top, and it reactions.  This is commonly called the "rain barrel effect", or the "last straw effect".  This is where there is an overload of sensitivities and the body will react, only because it is now in overwhelm.  People can carry on for many years with sensitivities that they are unaware of, and then suddenly, they will get a reaction as though it is something new.  Often, the allergic reaction has always been there, but it took the last wrong exposure for it to surface and create a symptom.

It's Not All Tied Up With A Bow, There Are Many Types Of Emotional & Allergic Reactions

It's not just about coughing or sneezing.  There are a myriad of ways that the body and mind react to allergic sensitivities.  Here is a list of what people experience, from foods, the environment, and or emotional traumas:
 

 
EFT To The Rescue ...
