Are Allergies an Unconscious Response?

As much as western medicine assumes that organic chemistry contains the answers to our health care needs, evidence continues to surface that there is more to the equation.   Russell and I attended Bruce Lipton’s (PhD author of Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolution and now The Honeymoon Effect) talk about how stem cells react to their environment and how our beliefs contribute to our energetic environment (and, according to the Quanta, we are ALL energy!).   Dr. Lipton’s ground breaking research provides a different way to consider health and healing beyond chemistry.

The truth is that western medicine already embraces these concepts through the current treatment for allergies.   By exposing patients to small amounts of allergens, we see that some people react with an altered response.   This is exactly the goal; that our bodies will “realize” unconsciously that the common allergens are not a threat and therefore, do not require an immune response such as Hay Fever, Skin Rashes, Digestive Upset, Headaches or other physical, emotional or psychological disease.

Following this logic, health and healing appear to require our unconscious self to shift and allow a different physical state to emerge.   How does this shift occur?  In our clinic we encourage this shift by exposing the patient to a representation of the allergen while applying a healing modality.

The patient’s unconscious response system then has to reconcile the association between an allergen that it had interpreted to be a threat and the healing treatment to which that allergen is now linked.  While some patients make the shift faster than others, this “dilemma” often results in a reassessment by the unconscious immune response to then ignore the allergens and to “reclassify” them as benign, thus ending the symptom cycle.

Quick story to illustrate my point:  a man came in this week who was accustomed to using his albuterol inhaler 10 times/day—his practice of over five years!  In one treatment he reduced his albuterol consumption to three times in two days!  I am thrilled as is the patient!
