Simple Trick For Allergic Reactions -- Even Anaphylactic Shock
By Christine Wheeler, MA
One of the scariest things you can experience is the unexpected
attack of an anaphylactic reaction.This can be a truly
life-threatening crisis and emergency attention is often
necessary.
If you have a severe allergy to certain foods or medications,
insect stings, or latex, you may have felt the effects of
anaphylaxis.Tiny amounts of the offending substance can be life
threatening... even the smell of peanuts can incite a reaction
if you are sensitive to them.
If you have severe allergies you know that, within minutes of
coming into contact with an allergic substance, your whole body
can get involved with the reaction.
You may feel tingling and a metallic taste in your mouth.You may
experience difficulty breathing with asthma-like symptoms, heart
palpitations and a sudden drop in blood pressure. You might get
hives, itching, nausea or diarrhea.
In the worst-case scenario, you might go into shock, or cardiac
arrest, or stop breathing due to an obstruction in your
airway.What do you do if this happens and you don't have access
to proper medical treatment? EFT is an essential healing tool
that you can have with you at all times.
Anaphylactic reactions are often immediate, developing in
seconds or minutes.Most people with such reactions carry
emergency allergy kits to use while awaiting medical assistance
or traveling to the emergency room.
But you can be caught unprepared for such a reaction... even if
you are normally very careful to avoid offending toxins.No
matter what precautions you take you can still be exposed
unknowingly to a life-threatening allergen.
In such situations, many people have used Emotional Freedom
Techniques (EFT) and successfully halted anaphylactic
reactions... often in just seconds.
Any kind of allergic reaction can take just moments to disrupt
your whole body-- including your subtle energy system. EFT is a
modern form of acupuncture that quickly balances your energy
meridians... when your meridians are successfully attuned, your
body can return to normal.
For some who have used EFT to halt such a reaction, it is as if
the attack never happened and they return to their usual
routine... without the use of injected adrenaline,
hospitalization or being hooked up to a ventilator. Anaphylactic
reactions are amplified allergic responses.EFT also gets
similar impressive results with milder allergic reactions to
dust, dogs, cats and the like.
EFT does not claim to replace emergency medical treatment and in
the case of anaphylaxis, it is certainly recommended that you
follow the appropriate medical precautions.
However, many reports have come from EFT users who witnessed
anaphylactic incidents and offered EFT while waiting for the
ambulance or medical treatment.In these cases (one of which you
can read below), severe anaphylaxis was averted and in some
cases, completely eliminated.
To do EFT, you simply stimulate your acupuncture meridians with
your fingertips instead of using needles.The basics of EFT can
be learned by anyone and can be self-applied (usually in
minutes).
It is a simple technique that is literally at your fingertips in
emergency situations.It takes just moments to apply and has
consistently been shown to offer immediate relief in emergencies
in more than 80 percentof cases.But in no way is it suggested
that EFT be the only method used in these situations.Dinner
party guest has anaphylactic reaction that is quickly halted
with EFT.You can read the entire case on the EFT Web site.
Pamela was attending an elegant dinner party when one of the
guests had a sudden and severe reaction from unknowingly eating
crab-stuffed ravioli.The guest had a severe shellfish
allergy.His face and throat began to swell almost immediately
and the host promptly called 911.
Pamela quickly took the guest into another room, and while
waiting for the emergency team to arrive, she did EFT on the
man.In her words, "Before her eyes, the swelling in his face and
neck began to go down and in just a few minutes he was returned
to normal.He rejoined the dinner party and the 911 call was
cancelled as all of his symptoms completely vanished."EFT is
an important life-saving tool to have at your fingertips.
This was accomplished with about 10 minutes of EFT.His recovery
was so impressive that the gentleman erroneously reasoned that
he hadn't eaten enough of the shellfish to get a real reaction.
This often happens when someone has experienced a surprising
shift as a result of EFT.It is also a testimony to the power of
the procedure.His striking recovery just didn't fit into his
belief system and so he needed to "explain it away."
In his previous experience, he needed medical care, injected
drugs, even hospitalization to avoid anaphylaxis or death.The
gentleman just didn't think that it was possible that he avoided
anaphylactic shock, so he tried to explain it away by saying he
didn't have enough of the crab.
Then he smiled at Pamela and said, "Nah, it was the
tapping!"More on EFT
