Allergens & Most Mental Problems
The following may come as a surprise to most people, including most medical doctors.
Unsuspected brain allergies are the cause of most mental disease or problems!
Dr Marshall Mandell in the early 80’s made this point very clear.He appeared on a Phil Donahue TV program with videos of persons with mental problems dramatically worsened by a drop or less of some allergen.Marshall called these “brain allergies”.
In 1982, Dr Von Hilsheimer introduced the first End-Point-Titration allergy testing into Florida, and I worked with him at an allergy clinic in Orlando.Several MD allergists in that clinic, were very surprised with depression and other mental problems being solved.
I studied allergy/sensitivity extensively during this time. I found a list of mental diseases caused by allergens that surprised me.My previous experience and learning in psychology had never prepared me for such. I found the following in a “standard” text on allergies as “Mental Symptoms”. It surprised me, and probably will you.
Schizophrenia, depression, hyperactivity (ADD/ADHD), Emotional instability or hypersensitivity, Insomnia, Chronic fatigue, crying jags, stuttering, excessive daydreaming, anxiety, panic attacks, withdrawn, listless, seizures, aggressive behavior, anger, irritability, silly, tense, restless, excited, agitated, behavior problems in children, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, poor comprehension, confusion, impaired attention, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behavior, feelings of unreality, disorientation, false beliefs or delusions, hallucinations, suicidal, feel like hurting self.
I was introduced to the latest EEG biofeedback therapy of raising the amplitude of the brain wave just above Alpha, in the range of 12-15 Hz while giving a 4 day orthomolecular seminar in Soviet Georgia in 2000. (later named the SMR brain wave) In the discussion, I remembered that list of mental diseases caused by allergens. I then proposed the following theory: “Raising the SMR brain wave somehow changed the affect of allergens on the brain. To date, no other theory fits the data.
When I returned to the US, I started the first leasing of EEG BF equipment for home use. As you can imagine this did not endear me to the clinicians who were charging up to $250 per half hour for the service. The actual operation is so simple that anyone with a high school education can easily learn how to do it, although the learned clinicians will (as usual) protest the necessity of a professional approach. (This in spite of no record of harm being done to anyone, and no license being required to practice this simple therapy.)
In 2001, Dr Jiri Tyrl of the Czech Biofeedback Society listed papers about EEG biofeedback that showed the following mental diseases as being either cured or greatly improved by this feedback:
Epilepsy; ADD/ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Academic-Cognitive Enhancement; Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, Sleep Disorders, Depression, Hemispheric Asymmetry, Anger, Addictive Disorders, Brain Injury, Stroke, Coma, Spasticity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Autoimmune Dysfunctions, Headache and other Pain, Schizophrenia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Parkinson’s Dystonia, Tourette’s Syndrome, Autism; Cognitive Decline with Aging, Asthma Hypertension Dissociative Disorders, Creativity, Optimal Functioning, Criminal Recidivism.
Compare the two lists, and the parallels are too much to be coincidental. It was obvious to me that allergens were causes of much more mental disease than had been suspected, and EEG biofeedback which raised this particular brain wave was solving these allergens.(My family has “cured” or alleviated many sensitivities, and some lifelong allergies.)
In 2004, one of those comic light bulbs went on above my head, and I realized that it should be possible to do the same thing - namely raise the SMR brain wave - by use of subliminal messaging.
With a call for volunteers, I got over 20, who sent me weekly results via email for a month. Most were various types of ADD/ADHD, with a few depressives and insomniacs mixed in. The results definitely showed that both my allergen theory and my subliminal theory were correct.
In 6 more volunteer tests since that time, we have shown that this therapy (named Neuroliminal Training) is at least as effective as EEG Biofeedback (aka Neurofeedback) for ADD/ADHD, depression, insomnia, autism, and epilepsy.
We found lots of evidence In all these tests that my theory of raising SMR solves allergies.Twin boys slept in the same room in one case. One had ADHD, which was cured, the other had ragweed hayfever which was also cured in the 6 -8 week volunteer test.NT does either cure or alleviate most allergies as this and many other testimonials and comments clearly show.or food sensitivities,
We’re going even further with a current test that includes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, PTSD, Depression of all types, etc. This test will end in January 2009.

Leaning How To Control Your Child’s Asthma
Breathing Techniques For Children with Asthma and Allergies
Asthma is a scary and often misunderstood disease that affects many children. The first time that a child has an asthma attack the parents feel completely helpless. The child often panics because he cannot breathe, and this panic makes the attack worse.
Part of the reason that asthma is so traumatic is because it is often not diagnosed until after the child has the first attack. Once diagnosed, however, there are many medications and treatments that can help an attack after it begins. Of course, most parents would say that they would rather the attack never happens. There are many ways that parents can help prevent asthma attacks in their children.
Once you realize that your child has asthma, start keeping a diary of what brings on the attacks. If you can find the things that trigger the breathing difficulties, you can try to avoid exposing your child to those triggers, thus keeping the asthma at bay. When you start to notice a pattern, talk to your child’s doctor about the things that you think are causing the problems.
For asthma sufferers, a clean environment is of great importance to keep the symptoms of the disease at bay. Things such as rugs and stuffed animals are major culprits when it comes to triggering asthma symptoms. While it is not always a plausible suggestion to get rid of these offending items, it is best to keep these items constantly clean. Many stores sell products that help cut down on the amount of dust in one’s home. The buildup of dust is one of the most common triggers of asthma attacks. Therefore, a concerned parent will make every effort to keep the amount of dust to an absolute minimum.
For severe asthma difficulties, you may need to eliminate the pets in your home, or consider a pet that does not have fur. Fish and other aquatic animals are another good option for asthmatic children. There are certain breeds of dogs that are less likely to trigger asthma and allergies, such as poodles, so consider these options if your children enjoy having pets around.
Mold is a major trigger for asthma. Keeping your home free from mold by keeping the humidity low will help your child’s asthma. If you have a damp basement, try to keep your child out of the basement as much as possible. Absolutely do not allow anyone to smoke in your home.
Cleaning products can cause asthma symptoms to worsen, so consider cleaning when your child is at school or at a friend’s house. This includes vacuuming. Vacuuming your home can stir up dust and other allergens that cause asthma attacks. Avoid using cleaning products with strong odors. Consider installing allergen filters in your furnace and air conditioners to control allergens in the air.
There are two important things you can do to reduce the effects of asthma. The first thing to do is to keep your child’s environment as clean as you can. This is a preventative measure designed to help your child have the least amount of attacks possible. The second thing is to keep your child’s asthma medicine, such as their inhaler, readily available at all times. This way, if your child begins to have an attack, the results can be minimal because their medicine can be administered immediately.

Natural Pet Allergy Treatment Options Are Simple And Effective
Even though you may have a deep love for animals; sometimes you could develop pet allergies after coming into contact with them. In fact, it is also common for some people to develop pet allergies even after having kept pets for several years. The sad part is that your love for animals can be put to severe test if you develop pet allergy and this allergy in turn will make you suffer from ill health. Itchiness in the skin, wheezing, as well as having eyes that water constantly are some of the common symptoms of pet allergies.
Part With Your Pet
If pet allergy treatment does not work in controlling symptoms of your pet allergy you may even be forced into parting with your pet. However, some people are so fond of their pets that they will not contemplate giving them up. A solution for such people is to ensure reducing dander in the home and to also remove allergens in the home so that the chances of developing pet allergy are greatly reduced.
There are however a few simple natural pet allergy treatment options worth trying out. For one, you need to ensure that your pet is not allowed anywhere near your sleeping area and to also ensure that the pet is not allowed on to your furniture. These are relatively simple natural pet allergy treatment options and should be followed strictly to prevent pet allergy from affecting you.
Another natural pet allergy treatment option is to bathe the pet every week and when brushing the pet to remember and do so outside of the house and on a daily basis as well. Reducing the quantity of dander that the pet carries within the home will take place using these measures. Converting your pet into an outside pet and not letting him stay indoors with you is another simple natural pet allergy treatment option.
You will also need to vacuum your carpets on a daily basis and also damp out dust at least once in a week. Other than this, you need to ensure washing your hands with a good soap each time you have played with or touched your pet. Other simple pet allergy treatments include installing air purifier in the home which will remove pet dander from the air and to have wooden floors instead of carpeting the floors which will only trap the allergens and that will mean increasing the risk of pet allergies.
To prevent and treat this condition requires learning about effective allergy asthma treatment such as becoming physically active and playing sports and games, allergy asthma is very often noticed among children and also in young adults.
Another pet allergy treatment option to consider is choosing an allergy friendly pet. Known to carry fewer quantities of dander and so will therefore pose less of a threat in regard to risk of pet allergy, which means that small birds as well as small dogs are known to carry fewer quantities of dander.

What Are the Signs of Mild Childrens Allergies
Recognizing child allergy symptoms can be a bit of a challenge, particularly for less severe reactions and seasonal allergies. A range and variety of children’s allergy symptoms, coupled with the normally frequent viral and bacterial infections and flu bugs that children are predisposed to contracting, often mean that allergies elude diagnosis for a long period of time. For parents, learning how to recognize child allergy symptoms can be the means to relieving chronic discomfort and secondary infections; in the case of a severe allergic reaction, knowing the symptoms of child allergies can mean the difference between life and death.
Physicians categorize child allergy symptoms by type and severity, with severity being the most important factor of child allergy symptoms, since that is what determines the ability of the body to function normally.Mild to moderate child allergy symptoms post the least danger to children.
Mild to moderate child allergy symptoms may occur infrequently or on a regular basis, depending on the type and cause of the allergic reaction.Mild and moderate child allergy symptoms may include
• Nose and sinus problems—including itchy nose, stuffy nose, or runny nose; sinuses may be sore, cause pressure in the face, or cause headaches; children are often unable to describe sinus discomfort
• Frequent sneezing
• Itchy and/or watery eyes
Chest and nasal congestion
• Dark under-eye circles
Breathing through your mouth
• Frequent rubbing or pushing upward on the nose—this often results in a tell-tale red line across the bottom of the bridge of the nose
• Chronic ear problems/infections
• Snoring/trouble sleeping
• Labored breathing or difficulty breathing, including wheezing and coughing and asthma-like symptoms (in fact, asthma attacks can be triggered by allergies in children with allergies)
• Hives
• Swelling, particularly of eyes, lips, and face; note also that swelling can become or present as a severe reaction, and for the sake of safety any swelling should be reported to a doctor for further instruction.If swelling exists, it is very important to monitor the breathing as there may be swelling inside the throat which can block breathing.
• Stomach upset
• Constipation
As a general rule-of-thumb, mild child allergy symptoms are localized and do not spread throughout the body; moderate child allergy symptoms will be increasingly uncomfortable and may spread to various parts of the body, but do not threaten essential life functions.
Mild child allergy symptoms may cause discomfort, but pose no real immediate danger. They are important to note and discuss with the childs doctor during the regular check-up.
