ALLERGIES: PREVENTION AND RELIEF by Dr. Don Williams

Millions of people suffer from seasonal and chronic allergies. Some allergy symptoms are sinusitis, headaches, chronic infections, respiratory problems (coughing, sneezing, wheezing), sleeplessness, skin problems, digestive difficulties, joint pain, and numerous other allergic responses, including immune and auto-immune disorders.

The causes of allergies are numerous. The irritant may come from certain foods or drinks; environmental irritants (such as pollens, air and water pollutants, exhaust fumes, herbicides); domestic irritants (dust, dust mites, mold), animal dander; job-related irritants (paint and other chemical fumes, sawdust, solder); perfumes and other scented products whether artificial or natural; and a myriad of other potential irritants. In addition to the stress created by the irritant, the allergic response produces more stress for the sufferer. If the allergic condition is prolonged, the adrenals may become exhausted, and the body less able to “fight off” the allergy.

No matter what the apparent cause of the allergy, all allergies stem from the immune system’s excessive response to an ordinarily harmless stimulus. A fight or flight reaction is created, with the allergen perceived as an overwhelming threat, calling forth an overactive response.

Even emotions can trigger a fight or flight reaction, causing the adrenals to produces inflammatory byproducts such as cortisol and glucocorticoids which lead to the allergic response. In fight or flight mode, the digestion is compromised, and the adrenals are blocked from producing the antibodies called antihistamines (“histamine”=allergic inflammation).

One of the most mysterious causes of allergies is SEMO, or Subconscious Emotional Memory Override. Unresolved memories and emotions actually create energy blocks in the nervous system. These subconscious interferences to the body’s perfect response to the input of the moment, actually “highjack” the immune system into an inappropriate flight or fight reaction, creating an allergic reaction. Until this buried neurological material is identified and removed, it will continue to trigger the allergic response in the immune system, despite our efforts to control the allergen or medicate the symptoms. Fortunately, the Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (BEST) is uniquely designed to locate and eliminate these subconscious energy blocks so that the body can operate at optimum health.

Preventively, it is clear that whatever we can do to create vigorous health will give our bodies more resistive force, the ability to respond to and neutralize what it perceives as a threat. Probiotics and supplements to assist digestion is one strategy. Paying attention to proper pH (acid/alkaline balance) is vital. An acidic system is already in a state of inflammation and much more vulnerable to allergy. Alkalization can put out the fires of inflammation.

Why are some people free from allergies, while others suffer? Why are some people allergy-free in youth, but develop problems later? Why do some children have allergies but grow out of them? We can find the answers to these questions in the baseline health (proper pH, attention to the 6 Essentials) of the individual plus the presence or absence of SEMO.

The important thing to remember is that you can be free from allergies, using the BEST system and the wholistic approach practiced by Dr. Don. To set up an appointment and start clearing up your symptoms now, call Dr. Don at (530) 205-9037.
