If you are a allergy practitioner can you imagine a life without your own personal tailor made allergy?

Do you want to be a practitioner of non allergies?

How will you do it?

I walked into a local pharmacy the other day and was baffled to see hundreds of various products for allergies notably hayfever.I watch TV and listen to the radio and there are countless adverts for allergy relief tablets which I must add is all non prescription, are we being programmed to believe this is the only way?

How can someone who has never suffered an allergy before suddenly become literally overnight a allergy practitioner?

As non allergy practitioner what would you do to help them be non practitioner’s of allergies?

A allergy is a mistake by your immune where it mistakes the allergen as a pathogen and sets of a series of defences which result in the production of histamine which leads to your stimulus, swelling, itchiness, redness.

I must add as an ecology check that some people who are allergic to certain things such as peanut’s suffer from anaphylactic shock which can be life threatening, it is inappropriate to work with someone who has this reaction, please be thorough about discussing their past reactions before working with them!

What would you do?

Hmm, well, I’d go for a walk.

However, a friend of mine relayed his story to me, and it might be more relevant:

“if I could breath easily through my nose without mechanical or other help, I would concentrate on a truth I discovered recently about my sense of smell. In particular, when the internal dialog I have is released along with the plan of future activity that it portends, I can smell. But why choose to smell, to be aware of what you smell, or make distinctions about it, if it stinks where you are? So I think another criterion for me to use my sense of smell is to learn about connections of smell to my environment, and recall them and subtle distinctions among them, and then remember them before I enter those contexts again. I spend a lot of time surrounded by smoke or fragrances, containing noxious chemicals, blanketing my surround with their poisonous presence. This adds to the challenge of keeping my sense of smell relevant, and forces new choices of how to work and live. Ahh…, the way I lose my sense of smell parallels what I do to intentionally ignore my sense of smell, actually, the odd thing being that I do not necessarily have any choice about it.

Another thing I might do is choose my internal smells and tastes more carefully than I do. Right now, over-salivating, esophageal hunger, or sudden urges to eat certain foods happen with a regularity that is dimmed by my lack of awareness of internal smells. While they do happen in response to certain foods, and I have learned what basic types to avoid,  I cannot make more subtle distinctions because nasal issues reduce my sense of smell AND ability to breath. (at least I think so).

Instead I have learned to live with mushy data from my sinuses, nose, and mouth, with the result that I am limited in what I can do with them.”

What a puzzle. I am not sure if it is true in any sense. If you explore this arena of sensory strategies, let me know how you fare..

Hi thanks for the quick reply

What specific stimulus is he allergic to? (he may not know this yet)

Allergies should be dealt with on a unconscious level as they have been programmed into us and are now a unconscious involuntary response to the allergen, for now.

Though he may be consciously aware of the cause and also when the response is happening (internal dialogue ect..).

There are a few techniques that he can use either with a change agent or through connecting with his unconscious using yes or no signals to see if it can give a different response or other applications to deal with the the intention.

What techniques has he or you previously used?

This is a cool video

Yeah, unconscious response, that’s true, that would be worth working on, its a new thing he’s noticed, never appeared to him before, not that way, though I think he’s wrapped up in having things turn out some certain way that he’s into, involving food, his esophagus, or whatever. So I dunno. Seems to me he’d be spending more time in the present, noticing ordinary smells like that, but some of what he’s talking about makes no sense. As is, considering what he’s talking about, I think he’d be stuck just hanging out smelling all day unless something changed for him, either that or, well, from what he tells me, every plan he has for his day, all the places to go, things to do, they’re all wrapped up in the stuff he’s talking about. ..., you know, maybe it is just internal dialog that’s bugging him. I dunno. Yeah, he should work with his unconscious, with some practitioner. Thanks, Jack. He got the recommendation. The alternative is interesting, too, he’d have to become some weirdo hippie, perfect for my town, hah!

Anyway, as far as me, I tried the allergy process once a long time ago, and the results made me wonder about the effectiveness of the process. At the time, the only thing that seemed to work for me was deep trance, and collapsing anchors, I think the practitioner was fairly skilled,  with good results from other people, but that process didn’t work for me. Actually, at the time, most NLP processes, from several people, didn’t really work for me. As far as I know.

I try to take care of my sinuses. I’m allergic to certain foods, certain trees, and bluegrass, but I don’t get much more symptoms than a slightly stuffy nose that sometimes just closes up. And some other breathing problems.  So I try to take care of it. I need to throw down money for something like I mentioned in an other thread, I’ve started going that direction, but it comes down to $$, always $$..

The allergy process effectively is a collapsing anchors process where you anchor a resource to the allergy context.  Find yourself a good practitioner I’m sure they will save you on the minor limitations imposed on you by the allergen.

Yeah, right, that’s true, OK, thanks, Jack, for the kind thoughts!
