What can I do if I am diagnosed with allergies?
There is currently a huge increase in the numbers of people suffering with over-reactions of the immune system including allergies, asthma, eczema, IBS, skin problems, poor concentration and sleep difficulties. Once you have your test results and know what to avoid you may have to make major changes in your lifestyle to avoid those allergens. But it can still take a long time for the body to repair itself and get back to normal.
What can I do to speed up this process?
While reducing exposure to pollutants and allergens, you can work on strengthening your system at the same time. This means making sure that you are eating a varied and adequate diet, and you will reduce your chemical intake if you buy organic and cook from fresh as much as possible. Regular aerobic exercise will stimulate the lymph system and encourage the cells to release their toxins for the body to excrete, but do check with your GP if you haven’t exercised for some time. Make sure you are drinking plenty of good, clean water to dilute the toxins and minimise your risk of unpleasant reactions.
I can’t avoid my allergens, what can I do?
Health Kinesiology (HK) includes a correction for allergy which helps the body to recognise the energy pattern of identified substances so that it can deal with them appropriately. It’s particularly useful for environmental substances like pollens, widely distributed food phenolics, vital medications, body substances like candida and heavy metals. However it can’t always be done straight away – often the body needs preparatory work beforehand because it may dump toxins afterwards.
I didn’t used to be allergic to all these things, what happened?
The body is really a chemical-processing plant and while it all runs smoothly we don’t experience allergic reactions. However our overall exposure to chemicals in our food, air and water supplies may begin to overload our capacity to process. Lifestyle also plays a part, as stress prompts the body to change the balance in the endocrine system, which may leave us less able to cope with external factors. Developments in agriculture and food-processing also impact as so many different chemicals are used in modern agribusiness and all have to be metabolised out of the body. At the same time we may be becoming deficient in essential trace minerals, all of which are necessary for proper metabolism.
How can HK help?
HK can detect nutritional deficiencies and advise on how to correct them. It is also excellent at releasing stresses around our lifestyle, jobs and relationships, so down-regulating the stress response and freeing up our resources to cope better. Finally the allergy detox correction helps the body to recognise the energy pattern of substances so that they can be dealt with properly without causing a reaction.
