Imagining a movie is one of the ways NLP can help change the body's
chemistry and teach the immune system to behave more appropriately.
We imagine our body's current response and replace that with a picture
of how we want our response to be. Whilst this is obviously not all
there is to it, it is a very important and powerful part of the process.
It may also help to examine how and when your food allergies and intolerances
developed. We often find that allergies begin at transition times in
our lives. We all go through huge changes such as puberty, leaving
home, getting married or becoming a parent. Or more subtle ones such
as gaining a younger sibling, learning to walk or moving school. These
changes affect how we see ourselves and the world around us and they
can also affect how we see things on the inside - on a cellular level.
In our army analogy, it's as if the radar machine has been replaced
with a different model. Things look different. The radar man no longer
recognises egg (for example) as being harmless, so he has to re-learn
whether it is friend or foe. Suppose you happen to catch the flu as
you're eating egg. To the radar man, he's not sure which one is making
you ill - so just to be safe he labels them both as viruses. There's
the mistake.
The next time you come into contact with that same flu virus, the radar
man doesn't wait for you to be ill again. He recognises and attacks
it straight away. That's why you don't catch the same flu twice. The
trouble is that egg is in the same category - labelled as an enemy.
So the next time the radar man detects egg, he sends the troops out
automatically. That's an allergy.
Part of the NLP re-education process involves figuring out how your
allergy might have developed. With the benefit of hindsight, your body
might have acted differently. Using your imagination, you can give
your body the correct information that it had failed to grasp at that
critical time.
These techniques have been used successfully for over 15 years to help
sufferers from allergy and food intolerance to re-educate their bodies.
Obviously, they do not work for everyone or for every allergy but they
are drug free, non invasive and involve no contact with your allergen.
Our work lies entirely in ‘reprogramming’ the way your
immune system sees, and therefore reacts to, your allergen. Treatment
consists of a maximum of three two hour sessions and although you don't
have to believe in the process for it to work, you do have to desire
the outcome.
But no matter how successful you feel the sessions may have been, if
you suffer from an IgE mediated classical allergy we are very insistent
that you should return to your doctor or your allergist and be retested
for your allergy before assuming that it has disappeared.
