Substance Sensitivities
Multiple substance
sensitivities are given various names. Some are: chemical
sensitivity, ecologic sensitivity, ecologic illness, toxic response
syndrome, sick building syndrome, and total immune disorder syndrome.
The complaints associated with these names include: depression,
irritability, mood swings, inability to concentrate or think clearly,
fatigue, digestive disorders, muscle and joint pain, runny nose, rashes,
headaches, and other numerous physical discomforts.
Substance sensitivities are far more common than most people think and
they are increasing at a frightening rate of frequency. One of the
more obvious reasons for this increase is the daily exposure that we
have to chemicals, toxins, and environmental pollutants. Every day
we are exposed to more and more chemicals and substances that our immune
systems were not designed to deal with. Daily, we inhale and
ingest chemicals whose names we can't even pronounce and yet, we expect
our bodies to determine if they are healthy for us.
Our food sources are no longer as pure as they used to be. Cattle
and poultry are injected with steroids and hormones to increase their
weight and size. Our grains, fruits and vegetables are sprayed
with pesticides and other chemicals to ensure a large crop.
Our work environments are filled with chemicals, electro-magnetic
fields, radon, asbestos, and low-grade PVC, to name a few. And
during the same time that these indoor pollutants have increased, the
buildings we work and live in have been made more airtight to
conserve fuel. Unfortunately, this airtight atmosphere also traps
more chemicals and molds and does not allow for any fresh air to
circulate.
What is the Rain Barrel Effect?
Experts who have studied
substance sensitivities suggest that the increase in these symptoms is
due to the "rain barrel effect." The immune system is continually processing information to
determine the safety of certain foods and chemicals and continually
adjusting its internal environment in order to maintain homeostasis in
relationship to those substances. Sometimes the rain barrel becomes full and
the immune system can no longer continue to adjust to the chemicals to which
it is being exposed. The rain barrel overflows and symptoms appear. It
is also felt that prolonged stress or a single episode of trauma, such
as a serious illness or automobile accident may trigger the
effect.
The Allergy AntidotesTM
system can eliminate or minimize the items that are added to the rain
barrel and, therefore, reduces the possibility of the rain barrel
overflowing.
What Does the Allergy Antidotes
System Do?
It does not
diagnose or treat psychological or physical symptoms or
conditions. It does treat the energy imbalances within the
body's meridian energy system. This meridian energy system
is the same system used in acupuncture by the Chinese for the last 5,000
years. It balances the body's meridian energy system in
relationship to the offending substance. Once the body's energy
system flows freely again, the symptoms may no longer exist. Even
if they do exist, they should be much more receptive to standard medical
treatment.
What Can I Expect in a
Session?
A session does not involve needles, undressing, or any other
uncomfortable or inconvenient procedure.
A session begins with you answering some basic questions about what you
are experiencing and discussing any medications or supplements that you
take on a regular basis. Precision muscle testing is used to
determine whether or not a particular substance is causing a disturbance
to your body's meridian energy system. Any existing imbalance is
corrected by one of several painless, noninvasive methods. The
method used is the one that your body indicates would be the most
appropriate for you at the time. |
