Moving on from Allergies with Touch for Health Kinesiology

Allergies...we hear a lot about them these days. So many people seem to suffer with asthma, hay fever, food allergies, IBS, eczema. Many causes and reasons lie behind these conditions, which can be mildly irritating, inconvenient, painful or even life-threatening. Kinesiology is often used as tool to track down what exactly a body is reacting to. This can be very useful in identifying the cause and indicating which substance should be avoided or eliminated. It is important to distinguish a kinesiology session as being different from “allergy testing”, which is not what we do.

There is another factor in allergy and intolerance control and that is our old friend – Stress. A body might be mildly intolerant of many things - foods, chemicals, air-borne particles, and cope well under normal conditions, but add a traumatic situation or emotional stress into the equation and the intolerance can suddenly become far more extreme.

I speak from personal experience where this is concerned...I suddenly developed what I thought was a severe cold one Christmas, and it carried on for months, with painful sinuses, sneezing fits, itchy eyes, runny nose – really horrid. I was prescribed nasal sprays and antihistamines, which helped, but only temporarily relieving the symptoms. In the end I went for allergy testing in hospital – which showed nothing, I was not allergic to any of the pin prick substances. The doctors were baffled, and could offer no further advice.

When I started my TFH training I was still sneezing! This had lasted for 3 years, varying in degrees of severity. My trainer used me as an example of someone suffering physical symptoms to demonstrate ESR (emotional stress release). He managed, very skilfully, to back track to the cause of my sneezing, using muscle checking. I could clearly remember when it had started, and what was going on in my life at the time but had never associated the 2 factors. Once he and the other trainees were aware of them, it made sense. My fellow student pointed out “Your body is saying “what about me?” How true that was; I had been stuck in the middle of a disagreement between 2 close friends, an impossible situation that had never been resolved, and it had affected me far more than I had realised. We muscle tested for some flower remedies, which I took for a few weeks, and that, combined with ESR (which we can do for ourselves) sorted it out.

I still do get bouts of sneezing and hay fever symptoms from time to time, but I can recognise the situations that bring it on. If I can’t resolve them, I use ESR and other TFH techniques. In extreme cases Bach flowers or homeopathic remedies can be used to get over the bout, but I am so much more in control, and aware of my own body and stress levels.

I see clients with intolerances, quite often food intolerances and IBS, and many times these can be helped by TFH techniques, by tracking down the problem substance and diffusing the stress that aggravates the problem. So often the stress is buried in the unconscious and is long forgotten, but once it surfaces, can be released and dealt with. TFH will also indicate which foods are beneficial to an individual at the time of their balance, or other foods to avoid. If necessary, we can muscle check for the Bach Flower remedies that will help ease the problem, using our stock at MNHC.
