NLP Counter Example Allergy Cure
by AB Perry
This process was developed by Robert Dilts, an internationally known NLP trainer, when his guest speaker at a health seminar, an immunologist, Dr David Levi, made the remark “an allergy is like a phobia of the immune system, an overwhelming and inappropriate response to a harmless stimuli”. Robert’s response was “we can cure phobias in a remarkably short time, lets adapt it to cure allergies”. This he did successfully using bio-feedback. He should get the Nobel prize for medicine.

Allergies and the Missing Link
by Doris Grant

Bed and Mattress Advice

Neonatal Sensitisation to Latex
by Jennifer Worth
Latex is a known allergen and latex sensitisation has become a serious problem for nurses, midwives and doctors who have extensive, long-term exposure to it. It has been assumed that the exposure experienced by the patient is too brief and unrepeated to present a problem. However, the sensitivity of new-borns to all things is much greater than it is in older children and adults. Experiments with new-born rats have shown that sensitisation can occur after exposure to minute doses.
The Allergy Volcano
by Jennifer Worth
Allergic diseases are increasing world-wide. It seems that we cannot adapt to the environment we are creating, and the allergy volcano is erupting fast.

The Effects of a Virus upon Allergic Conditions
by Jennifer Worth
This is Jennifer Worth's personal account of the course she took to get to the root of her debilitating viral condition, which started with a cold that developed into bronchitis.

This time however, she failed to get back her strength which seemed to ebb away with each day, even though she no longer suffered bronchitis or asthma. She felt ill all the time, a sort of dragging illness, like flu.

What is an Allergy?
