While they were away, a nurse came in to feed the child lunch. The nurse insisted the child drink her milk and she refused. The nurse became angry with the small child and forced her to drink the milk and the girl vomited it up immediately and violently. It was a few years later that this patient of mine developed milk allergies and was diagnosed with severe lactose intolerance. The best way to avoid programming
your immune system to react to everyday foods, airborne allergens or pets is to take the following precautions:
• Practice relaxing a few minutes prior to each meal and while eating try to relax and chew.
• don’t watch TV or disturbing images while eating.
• Techniques like EfT or nAET can help you desensitize any allergies you create. find a qualified practitioner who can help you determine whether your allergies could be tied to an emotional connection. • Most of all, never eat when upset. Wait until you calm down.
Immunity is a complex system of mes- sages managed by the higher function of the nervous system. Our human physiology is designed to protect our body at all costs. As we evolve as humans and become more thinking and feeling beings, our protective system can mistake real versus perceived threats and it will react by causing allergy reactions. To stay healthy we must be able to stabilize both our mind and body by experi- encing life joyfully.
