"Environmental controls are important whenever you have a situation that is made worse by exposure to certain substances. However, if you want to be able to withstand the assault of these substances, upon exposure, Medical Acupuncture can certainly help you by recalibrating your system so that so that you are comfortable and relatively symptom free.”

  Help for Allergies 
 and Sensitivities
 through Energy
 Medicine 

     Allergies mean different things to different people.  Some actually suffer sensitivities rather than true allergies.  With a true allergic reaction, there is a definite reaction in the body.  This is the effect of antibodies to specific antigens (allergens).  Allergic reactions usually happen right away upon exposure to the allergen substance.  They can affect nasal passages, eyes and head, skin, or other areas. Sensitivities on the other hand, typically have a delayed reaction.  Many people don’t even realize that they have sensitivities, which put significant stress on the body and impair the immune system.

     Many people undergo various medical tests, and discover specific allergies and sensitivities to substances such as foods, chemicals, molds, pollen, and animal fur.  Treatment approaches may include simply avoiding the allergens, particularly if foods are involved.  Many try allergy shots, or daily medications.  

     It is unfortunate that few allergists pay attention to the wonderful results being achieved around the world in the blossoming field of energy medicine.   It isn’t really a new concept—energy medicine is based upon ancient principles, now having a proven scientific basis.  Acupuncture for example, has been around for thousands of years, but is now being confirmed and explained through modern technology.

     Here’s what it’s all about:

     People are all exposed to substances that are harmful to their bodies, which cause weakness.  There are various forms of testing from both conventional and “alternative” medicine, which can reveal a particular offending substance.  The breakthrough is that practitioners around the world have found it possible to essentially “reprogram” your body energetically to stop being bothered by the otherwise harmless substance, using energy medicine.  There are various excellent procedures, which can be used for allergy desensitization.  The most prominent are based in acupuncture. 

     In my practice, I utilize a specialized form of acupuncture, which is performed exclusively on the outer ear. It is call 3-phase Auricular Therapy.  It is of course, NOT a direct treatment for allergies in the conventional medical sense.

     What does this mean?

     It is literally as different as East vs. West.  Directly treating your allergy by conventional Western medicine refers to treating symptoms through allergy shots, inhalers, anti-histamines, and various other pharmaceutical-based interventions.  This “conventional” approach is neither my interest, field of expertise, nor within my scope of practice.

     On the other hand, the Eastern medicine approach: treating a PERSON, to address the multiple CAUSES of allergies and sensitivities… to strengthen your body to better handle an allergen or irritant, is a huge focus of mine. 

     I typically accomplish it through two complementary approaches: Auricular Therapy (ear acupuncture) and homeopathic supplementation (comprehensive articles on both methods may be read on this website by clicking these blue links, or at the top menus). 

    This treatment has had phenomenal success for me personally and professionally.  It was the means by which my son overcame chronic asthma.  While my wife, Sheila and I appreciate the efforts of the pediatricians and asthma specialists who prescribed inhalers and medications, they couldn’t find the cause of my son’s asthma… nor could they treat it.  However, bio-energetic testing revealed that it was caused by allergy and lung damage from molds and other fungi. 

     It turns out that fungal-caused asthma is quite common, as reveal by a Johns Hopkins University research study.  The problem is that there appears to be little-to-nothing that can be done through pharmaceutical medicine to treat the fungal cause!

     Conventional medical treatment never addressed the fungal cause of my son’s problems.   Inhalers, nebulizers, steroids, antibiotics, surgery, and other approaches all failed to get him well.  They only maintained him through continued allergy and asthma. 

     Fortunately, over a period of months, the ear acupuncture procedures and homeopathy gradually restored his health, and eliminated his dependence on medications.  This is why I got licensed by the Virginia Board of Medicine to perform acupuncture—to the same services to my patients. 

     Did you ever wonder why so many people have allergies and asthma in Hampton Roads?  Molds and milder are a big part of it.  It’s common in Virginia Beach, worse in Norfolk, and even worse in Portsmouth. Of course allergy to pine pollen is another major problem.

     Perhaps you too, have not been satisfied with the conventional medical approach to allergies.  We have been systematically conditioned by mainstream medicine and the media to equate all health problems with their symptoms.  

     Allergies are not a disease themselves, any more than headaches, neck pain, high blood pressure, etc.  These are all signs or symptoms of disease or dysfunction.  Remember that if a medication covers up a symptom, it does not mean the disease is “cured.”  In these instances these medication merely creates an illusion of health. 

     Allergies are NOT a stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, hives, etc.  Those are symptoms of allergies—your body’s response to irritants. If you breathe in smoke from a fire, or diesel fumes, you will begin to cough or choke.  Your eyes will water.  This too is an allergic response… but it is a HEALTHY response.  Your body is dealing with a harmful irritant.  Your body can get used both harmful and beneficial substances.  Just consider anybody who smokes… the irritant has become tolerated, and doesn’t cause a cleansing response, the way it would for somebody smoking for the first time.  Consider the possibility that your body can be “reprogrammed” to naturally tolerate a otherwise harmless substance such as a food.

     "What do Anti-histamines do?"

     Anti-histamines can be very helpful for unclogging a stuffed nose.  They block histamine, which is made by white blood cells for protective purposes.  This will indeed suppress the symptoms, but is ultimately interfering with your body’s natural cleansing response (uncomfortable as it may be).  The irritants are infiltrating your body more than they would, which is the side effect you are unlikely to notice, as you happily breathe easier.  

     Don’t get me wrong, I do not suggest people to stop their medications; our goal is to get to the causes of the problems, so drugs become unnecessary.  For example, my son continued asthma inhalers for some time, until the bio-energetic therapies (ear acupuncture and homeopathy) kicked in.  We also keep inhalers in the house and at a school, in case of emergency.  This isn’t a contest between conventional and “alternative” medicine; it’s about my son’s life, as well as yours!  I think doctors who believe pharmaceutical approaches are the only way to treat people, are fools.  The same is the case for doctors who believe natural methods should only be used. 

     As a holistic doctor, I am constantly explaining the basic facts about how our bodies work, the true meaning of toxins and irritants, and what drugs actually do.  Keep in mind that I am not against the use of drugs—I am simply against their overuse.  Perhaps you are tired of the drug approach to allergies, which may be the reason you’re reading this article.

     It is my assertion that the goal must be to treat the PERSON with the allergies— NOT the allergies.  I like the approach of utilizing various forms of testing and technology to isolate specific irritants.  If it’s dog or cat hair that’s causing your symptoms… or seafood… or dust and mold… this is useful information.  However, it must be put into perspective of each individual’s immune system and body as a whole.

     "What about genetics?"

     In my opinion, blaming genetics for people’s maladies is a typical medical excuse—when “experts” can’t find (or don’t bother to look for) other cause factors… rather than admit to not knowing something.

     Here’s a novel idea regarding allergies: addressing build up of toxins, disturbed inflammatory responses, and correcting energetic and structural imbalances.  Yes, it all sounds strange.  But this is largely what all disease seems to really be all about.  Traditional medical approaches to allergies don’t seem to account for the numerous toxins that build up in your body from foods, environment, medications, and other chemical sources. 

     People are often addicted to substances that are toxic to their bodies.  Allergy medication can prevent your body from having its normal response to toxins.  When it wears off, the symptoms return. 

     Do these medications “cure” your allergies? 

     Do you think it’s possible to develop allergy symptoms from the toxins of the medications as well? 

     What about allergy shots?  Do they correct the problem?  Or must you keep having them forever?

     The question you must ask yourself is, do you want to get healthier and try to strengthen your body and deal with the toxins that cause of your allergies?  Or do you prefer to continue medications to treat the symptoms forever?  Of course, if you are satisfied with the conventional medical approach, this is not for you. 

     The ear acupuncture and homeopathic supplement approach I utilize takes only four weeks in most cases, to desensitize a specific allergy or sensitivity.  It has no side effects, is incredibly convenient, and it is inexpensive.

     "So why isn't this energy medicine methods for allergy desensitization typically endorsed by “mainstream” medical doctors?"

     Do I really have to answer this question? 

     Come on… the business of allergies includes indefinite use of antihistamines, allergy shots, bronchodilators, and other medicines.  It is a multi-billion dollar business.  The business of allergy desensitization through energy medicine is a miniscule fraction…chump change, by comparison. 

     Fortunately, there are exceptions to the rule.  I am proud to have been personally trained by two exceptional medical doctors, who have had the vision of utilizing energy medicine in their practices: anesthesiologist, Nader Soliman, MD, and radiation oncologist, Colonel, Richard Niemtzow, MD, PhD, MPH. 

     Dr. Soliman is past President of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture (AAMA).  Dr. Niemtzow is the current president, as well as Editor in Chief of their peer-reviewed journal, Medical Acupuncture.  He runs the military’s first acupuncture clinic at Andrews Air Force Base.  The American Academy of Medical Acupuncture endorses the use of acupuncture for allergies such as food allergies. Acupuncture can help restore normal immune function.  The term, “Medical Acupuncture” refers to acupuncture practiced by a Western trained medical doctor.

     Recent clinical studies by Dr. Soliman, using sophisticated, bio-energetic medicine techniques indicate that many allergic reactions can be helped significantly through acupuncture treatment (auricular therapy). 

     The ear has been proven to have energetic projection sites for the liver, for which treatment can trigger the body to handle an allergen.  There may be one or more additional acupuncture points located and treated.  This system was introduced in the 1950s by the “father” of Auricular Therapy, Paul Nogier, M.D. 

     “How is the ear acupuncture desensitization performed?”

     First, a sample of the substance you are allergic to is connected to your hand.  The resonant frequency (energetics) of the allergen triggers a detectable point of electrical activity within your ear acupuncture liver zone.  Once the acupuncture point is located and confirmed with a specialized instrument (Neuro-Electric Treatment 2000), it is treated with painless electro-acupuncture. 

     Then, a tiny acupuncture needle is placed under the same spot (you barely feel it).  It is covered with special tape, and left in place for 3-4 weeks.  During this period, you are advised to keep away from the substance to which you are allergic.  Then, you will gradually reintroduce the allergen.  One or more homeopathic supplements may be recommended to enhance response.

     “What types of allergies cannot be helped?”

     This approach does not work for lactose or gluten intolerance.  These afflictions are not allergies, but rather inability to digest these substances adequately.  It can however be effective if you have an allergy to dairy products.  Of course, like any other method, it does not always succeed. 

     Some people have very complex allergic situations, which may need to be addressed in a more comprehensive manner, usually with homeopathy.

     “How many treatments are required?”

     In most cases, one initial session of needle placement is required.  Multiple allergies must be addressed separately.  For example, if you are allergic to cat or dog hair, as well as chocolate, each allergy would require its own acupuncture needle placement, performed a month apart.  Specific allergies or sensitivities are handled one at a time.   

     “Is acupuncture allergy desensitization medically proven?”

     Conventional Western medicine does not consider energy medicine approaches as medical treatment.  This is okay, since Eastern medicine treats the person, not the condition.  But don’t hold your breath waiting for “mainstream” medical journals to run high priced studies to prove that acupuncture and homeopathy (their competition) can succeed.  I mentioned earlier that the physician-based organization, the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture supports this treatment.

     “Who chooses acupuncture allergy desensitization?”   

     This approach is designed for anybody who is dissatisfied with their medical treatment for allergy symptoms.  It is NOT a replacement or a delay for any medical diagnosis, nor is it meant for emergency situations.  People throughout the world have had tremendous success with whole person, energy medicine approaches to allergies.

     "What is the cost for this treatment?"

     This is a very inexpensive treatment approach, compared to traditional Western medicine.  If you are not a current established patient of the Liebell Clinic, there is a small case history and consultation fee of $25.  Otherwise, the single-session fee is only $75.  You might also require 1-3 homeopathic supplements, which are usually $20 each for a 2-month supply (which may be all that is needed).  Additional evaluation or treatment is case-dependent.   

    If you're tired of the pharmaceutical, symptom-based approach to allergies and sensitivities... the bio-energetic medicine approach may be right for you.  Why wait for the "mainstream" American health care system to catch up... help is available right NOW!
