Allergies and hives connection with stress/fear and anxiety that has not switch off.

Law of attraction, and why what we think consciously and unconsciously reflects back to us in our daily life!

I have been talking about stress and liver detox many times. Every time I go to another nutritional seminar I get more and more evidence of what I have been saying for the past 20 years, since my University nutritional degree years really!

Stress, genetic makeup and allergies go hand and hand.

It depends on how you cope with stress that counts, how you perceive and deal with everyday life, that would either raise your stress/cortisol level and therefore the cascade of more toxins from the stress response, or just being busy, and not trigger the stress/fear response, and therefore the toxins are lower, the liver needs to work less and the body feels at peace with itself and therefore reduce allergies symptoms or no allergies.

I have worked with allergies now for the past 18 years and for the past 10 I used the NAET method. In all the people, children and babies that I have helped, stress was one of the main connection with everyone. This might be true for babies born in a stressed environment and depending also on the genetic makeup of the family on how the liver is detoxifying: is it very quickly, normally or one of the two main phases of the liver too fast.

In a recap, what matters in reducing the alert that the body is when you get hives for no possible reason or bloating:

• How you cope with stress or coped with stressful situation all your life (big or small life stresses and changes);
• How your unconscious brain has learned to cope with each life changes and how it perceives each events.
• The perception of our brain, depends from unconscious value and beliefs (family or social or our own), combined with the present lifestyle.
• For babies and children, it depends on the family makeup, stress around them and how they cope with them too. If they are very sensitive, they will get very upset and their coping mechanism becomes low. No matter how many times you tells them that you love them, they will not believe it and therefore end up getting more and more distressed for one reason to another. If they are very sensitive also they will be over sensitive to toxins from the outside world and from non- biological food, which I mean what the body easily absorbs best such as all natural food that you get from the ground, trees etc (they become more allergic to process food, including wheat and wheat product, dairy food, quite often eggs, vaccines, metals, etc.).
• Genetic makeup is one of the major ones for allergies, and that is more depend on how well people genetically detoxify and if they have enzymes to break down the lactose, milk or dairy protein, wheat or gluten protein.

Knowing physically, emotionally and mentally, how our body respond to the world around us, is the key to reducing our stress level and dealing with our emotions in different ways.

Sometimes we can change things ourselves, however most of the time we need help to reset the body, mind and energetic field around us, to get balanced up again.

For example: our brain, accordingly to neuroscientist and physiologist, needs to process more than 20 million’s information during the day, through our eyes, ears, touch, taste and smell and for some people from the 6^th sense too, which is energetic fields around us (remember that we are mostly energy connected very tightly together, negative and positive ions that come together inside and outside, we attract negative things if our inside is of low frequency, and we attract positive things if our inside is of a high vibrational frequency, quite simple but difficult to understand if you put too much logic in it).

Now, our brain cannot take in all that information that are presented to it all day and night, therefore, it needs to process the most important information and then either store it, delete it, or generalize it.

This process is done by the brain all the time when we receive the information, it depends on us, how the brain will deal with the information that it gets.

It depends from the way we perceive the world outside, from our unconscious value and beliefs, and from our present state of mind and lifestyle.

Now regarding the allergies, I am giving you an example and recap of what happens when your sympathetic nervous system that deals with the stress and adrenal response is on, all the time.

Stress/anxiety/fear response on:

• Heart rate goes up,
• Adrenaline is up all the time
• Sugar released into the blood stream for the cell to deal with the high demand form liver or craving for sugary foods and drinks or coffee/teas or red bull
• Or body hunger shuts down and therefore not eating for many hours till body gets exhausted.
• No sleep or too much sleep, depends on what stage you are in the adrenal process or exhaustion. If you are near adrenal exhaustion than you start getting tired or exhausted most of the time. If your adrenal is ok and going up and down than you might not be able to sleep.
• Usually the thyroid starts getting involved as well with the adrenal overworking, and therefore, the metabolism gets slower and you put on more weight around the abdomen and no matter if you eat little or nothing at all, you do not lose any weight.
• Eyes are dry or itchy or tired, as the eyes are dilated all the time and therefore more vulnerable to the outside environment.
• Sneezing, hayfever and any allergy gets worse.
• Any food that you eat might be seen by the body as an enemy and therefore even if you eat an apple or a healthy food, you react to that food, as the brain is on alert, and therefore the immune system is on alert.
• There is a constant inflammation in the body as the toxins from the stress cascade are high, because of the oxidation that comes from making hormones for the stress and the neurotransmitters such as the adrenalines.
• The body needs more water to process all the above and some people do not drink enough of it during the stress response, or at any time.
• Now all the above happens WITHOUT you knowing that is happening. THE ONLY SYMPTOMS THAT YOU WOULD NOTICE IS THE BLOATING, ALLERGIES AND BEING EITHER TOO TIRED AND WANTED TO SLEEP MORE OR NOT SLEEPING AT ALL. DEPENDS ON WHICH STAGE YOU ARE.
• The other unconscious thing that happens, is that you feel anxious all the time.
• You feel that you are on a constant danger all the time.
• You jump at any little things.
• You accumulate many more fear that you hear on the news and that you see around yourself, rather than see the positive things in your life and around you. You are drawn to bad stories or dramatic and violent films.
• You feel that everyone else is against you or they do not like you and you do not trust anybody. Or you find hard to trust somebody else that is not your family or close friend.

For example, you might need to do some work for your boss:

• Your boss is not as nice as you wanted them to be, and therefore every time you go to work or see them, you unconsciously go into a stress/anxiety time and eventually into a panic time for no reasons at all.

The other physical part that is switch off when the stress hormones are up is the parasympathetic division of the nervous system (yes a mouthful but very important part of our body).

The parasympathetic system is that part of our automatic nervous system that deals with our digestion, our sleep and our sense of peace.

The stress nervous system (sympathetic) and the parasympathetic nervous system cannot be on at the same time. So you can now see the picture of what happens if the stress hormones are on constantly:

Physically, when the parasympathetic nervous system is off:

• You will not digest your food well, few enzymes will be made as not enough time to make them or if not chewing well than no digestion process is triggered.
• Our digestion starts from our eyes, if we eat in front of the computer at work or home, while we eat a sandwich, what do you think it would happen! Well your brain is processing one think for work, while you are eating which means that sandwich will not be digested properly.
• The undigested food will go down the other end, either quickly, because the foods irritates the whole intestine, or very slowly because of not being broken down and it takes time to get through.
• Sometimes the undigested food does not live the colon for days, which makes things all stuck and not moving at all, like in a que in a tunnel. I know a bit disgusting but true!

Now why NAET, craniosacral therapy and nutritional advice work well together and why it works amazingly if the person takes 100% responsibility for getting better?

The nutritional change will also include a lifestyle change, even the smallest change can get you there. This part needs the person to take the responsibility for changing the diet 100%. Not 80 or 50 or 99% but 100%.

For children and babies is usually the mother that takes that responsibility and if they do, then the results is 100% better.

Healthy food, makes things repair quickly. That means healthy food for that particular person or child, and usually NAET will give me the way that would be.

Knowing what food at the present time you are reacting, and eliminating that would help the body repair better.

The intestinal track need to be repaired and not leaky any more (it means that the irritation from the food or drinks or medical drugs, which causes the entire intestine to have larger gaps, which complex food gets into the blood stream undigested. This means that the immune system does not recognise them as part of the nutrients in the body, or as self and attacks it).

What the NAET method would do with the combination of craniosacral therapy, would reset the immune system in recognising the food and nutrients as such, and not attacking it anymore.

Once the gut is repaired and the brain reset, then, the mind follows and therefore the entire system is reset and ready to learn new positive way of dealing with things.

There is a constant talk between one cell and another, there are receptors and memory cells that many neuroscientist and cognitive behaviour psychologist have agreed they communicate with each other.

The brain and the gut are pretty much connected. We call it brain-gut axis. So we are pretty much what we think, and our physical body is pretty much connected to our mental and energetic field.

Which it means that if each cell in our body is a reflection on how we are, so our physical body can be healthy, well and happy, and that each of our cells reflects how we feel out there in our surrounding world, then we would know how we feel, by just looking what we attract. So, by the law of attraction, we attract what we feel inside.

I give you a couple of examples:

• if you have a lot of angry people around you at work, or you see a lot of angry people around you, it means that you are attracting them to you, and therefore you are feeling unconsciously either angry, frustrated or annoyed about something or another.
• if you see very happy and joyful people around you and everything is so positive, and everything that you do comes back positive, than your brain and body and gut is reflecting that state, that includes love.

If your cells carry every single trauma and emotions, out there, from when you were born to now, then, you can look at your life and see what has been happening and where it was going well and when it was not.

Some of our deeper trauma are hidden deep into our brain, and they come out only at times of stress or destress. They might come out randomly and no connection to that deep trauma can be made, unless you have done craniosacral therapy or hypnotherapy, or any other time of therapy that brings that up. Sometimes films or situations or even a book might bring them out and then you come out with other anxiety/fear and any other emotional problems that would reflect back at you.

Sometimes these traumas are stored in another part of your physical body.

For example, if you fell as a child, and you felt at that time so much pain and fear and worry all at the same time, and if you did not deal with these strong emotions then, you might have stored that event on the spot that you physically hurt.

After many years, you might still have a problem on that foot or knee or leg/arms/back that you hurt. Eventually that part start giving you more problems as you grow older and possibly, in time of distress or intense stress for something else, come out and feel very painful.

Now by working with craniosacral therapy, I often seen that certain chronic or acute pain, goes away by allowing that pain and emotional feelings to come to surface, be acknowledged and then let it go. That pain or emotional feeling might be connected to another pain and same emotional feeling that you are feeling at the present. And so on with any other physical or emotional problems. In CST only emotions and traumas that you are READY to deal with come out. And as I mentioned before, you need to be committed to your health and the treatment 100%.

In a nutshell, dealing with any possible physical, emotional and mental trauma, from the time you were born to the present time, then your entire body cells will get balanced up in a more healthy way of dealing with life itself! As that would reflect back to you in a more happy and balanced way. As every single cell in your body change within a year, it means that after a year of therapy and well balanced body, mind and spiritual being, you reflect back the most positive things in your life!

Now all the above seems complicated but it is not. It is very simple, change your thoughts, old value or beliefs that do not serve you anymore, get rid of old stuff that you do not need to store anymore and you will feel like a million pounds person. As good as new!

I also add the fact, that sometimes we lie to ourselves and others on how we feel in real life, which it means some of that is also reflected out, and therefore, you do not trust anybody, you do not believe in yourselves and what you do is complaining all the time about everybody around you. In reality, you are complaining about yourself and things that you are doing that does not fit your real path in life and what you really like your life to be!

I leave you with one experience that I had about 10 years ago at one of the NAET seminars.  I got annoyed by something that they were saying and I did not agree at that time. We had lunch straight after my disagreement (at that time I had a lot of disagreement with a lot of people around me). I felt bloated straight after my lunch, I had pain, gas and a big rush all over my neck, which was very itchy and annoying. All that took 2 hours to go away and it went completely after I left the seminar. I did not eat anything unusual and I never reacted to that food after that. I had a NAET treatment for the disagreement and the food combined. I had salmon and vegetables at lunch and I have eaten salmon and same vegetables ever since without a problem. I never had a problem with salmon or any of the vegetable from that lunch, the only thing that changed was my annoyance towards what it was said that I did not agree!

So, what are you storing inside, and how do you feel?

I have organized and prepared 3 workshops for everyone to do, to see if they can feel how they are at any given time. By the 3^rd workshop, with your commitment to the process, you can feel how you are and how you want to feel, and what you would like to have reflected back at you! look under the events to know more or click here
