Allergies and Immune System Disorders: Part 2
The first article in this four-part series describes the vast
variety of immune system diseases that are a growing pandemic
in our current society. He also describes three possible causes
for this pandemic within our civilization. Within these next
articles each cause will be explored in depth, and strategies
of treatment using modern hypnotherapy techniques will be
described. This article will describe the way our bodies
we often overreact to chemicals in our environment and in our
foods and how hypnosis can be used to change these reactions.
There is no doubt that our bodies are assaulted every
day with a wide variety of chemicals that have not existed in
all for the last million years of our evolution as a species.
Chemical pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified DNA,
antibiotics and hormones given to industrially raised animals
They are present in almost all the foods we eat. Also,
processed foods contain toxic additives such as refined
sugar, artificial flavors, colors and preservatives.
As much as we try to eat organic, it is very difficult to protect it.
completely against these additives. Even the way we
processing and storing food introduces toxic chemicals and alters
vitamins and proteins in food. Fry in hot oil and
use of trans fatty acids in processed foods such as margarine are
just a couple of examples of this. Also, the air
we breathe and the water we drink is contaminated with
countless chemical agents. Apart from human activity,
the natural world is full of molds, fungi, bacteria,
and other substances that have toxic properties. certainly
We recommend that we do our best to remove these items
of our lives. But often our body’s reaction to these
chemicals is grossly disproportionate to the actual dangers that
represent. When this happens, doctors would say that we are
“allergic” to these substances. These allergic reactions can
incapacitate us with much greater efficiency than these
the chemicals alone could do in small doses to
that we are exposed
An obvious example is a bee sting. While a bee sting

dose, most of us experience a sting as a brief, yet painful,
nuisance. But for some people, this bite is death.

the system goes into full battle mode against this perceived
threat, which can cause death by suffocation in a few
minutes in a response called “anaphylactic shock. much
to a lesser extent, our immune system can cause ugly symptoms in
response to mild toxins such as the smell of gasoline, dust,
molds, animal dander, and the proteins in foods like corn
and wheat. I myself once reacted very strongly to all
aforementioned toxins in a debilitating condition called
“environmental sensitivity”, a condition that led to
frequent episodes of chronic fatigue, as well as sinusitis
congestion, headaches and asthma.
So how do hypnotic techniques help us combat these
terms? First, we must understand that the source of
these reactions are within the subconscious mind. It is not
the same chemicals that are doing this to us. Is he
immune system response that is the problem. After all (I
used to complain to myself) many people can live in mold
houses or smell gasoline without being affected in any way.
Once this is accepted, we can see that hypnosis, the main
strategy for accessing subconscious programming, MUST be a
part of any long-term solution for this condition. Tea

convince the subconscious mind of the client in hypnosis that this
particular toxin is simply not a threat to the body in the
small doses that the body is experiencing. We do this for
the construction of positive associations in the subconscious memory to the
smell or taste of these substances, because it is the taste
and the smell of these things, even subconsciously perceived,
that triggers these reactions.
Let me illustrate this with an example. a client was

smell of new carpet in your house, a carpet that was outside
Gassing of industrial solvents, including formaldehyde. in a
hypnotic state I made him access the peculiar smell with his
hypnotically enhanced imagination, a process known as
“olfactory hallucinations”. This process must be accompanied
by guarantees that the client’s body will not react to this
smell in any way. Otherwise, this hallucination has been
known to trigger an allergic response in the hypnotized
theme. We were unable to find any negative memories associated
with this smell Apparently, the body alone, understandably,
found it toxic. I then spoke to his subconscious mind. said
that this smell was quite safe, that from now on this
The smell would always remind him of the beauty and pleasure of
his beautiful new house, of which he was very proud, and the
loving new wife who shared that home with him. I built
these joyous feelings as he continued to follow my instructions to
breathe the smell of new carpets, which is now, I
suggested, the smell of happiness and romance and a safe
home. In one session, his allergic reaction disappeared.
Another client who loved cats was found to be allergic to them,
with strong nasal congestion, burning and sneezing. Us
discovered in a trance that his subconscious mind associated
the smell of cat, a smell she was not aware of,
with traumatic events from his childhood, connected to a
critical mother, in a house with cats. First, we use
olfactory hallucination to follow this smell back to what
was “… your nose remembers this smell you have
forgotten.” After rescuing his inner child from these
memories of abuse, found a new home in his imagination
with a very secure, loving and caring new mother – who
he had cats, of course. So I encouraged her to breathe into this
wonderful smell of cats in the context of this safety and
love.
“Now breathe into every part of your body this
wonderful smell of love. See how good it feels.” So I
anchored this new response to the daily customer experience
of cats in this way: “Now, whenever your subconscious mind
smell the wonderful aroma of cats, your body remembers it
wonderful new mother, and how much love and security she
offers.” After one session she found herself able to
eliminate these allergic responses simply by remembering
call this vision to your inner mother whenever you felt
their symptoms begin.
Usually one session with a receptive subject is enough to
effectively treat a specific allergen, especially if
the client is willing to practice feeling these new feelings
and recalling these new memories on their own. (Poor me,
Patients with mental disorders or organic brain diseases do
poor subjects for this type of work.) Multiple sessions are
of course required for a large number of allergies. for food
allergies we can follow the taste, hypnotically induced and
magnified into a “gustatory hallucination” at the moment when
this taste brought with it something unpleasant. While the
conscious mind has no recollection of these “triggers”
events”, the subconscious mind can easily remember them in a
good theme. This process often requires the transformation
of memories through the rescue and nurturing of the interior
child to find a solution.
