Alternative allergy treatments are nontraditional allergy therapies. Alternative medicine practices are used instead of standard medical treatments. Alternative medicine is distinct from complementary medicine which is meant to accompany but not replace standard medical practices. Alternative medical practices are generally not recognized by the medical community as standard or conventional medical approaches. Alternative medicine includes dietary supplements, herbal preparations, special teas, massage therapy, and spiritual healing. Alternative medical systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice. These systems have evolved apart from the conventional medical approach used in the United States.

Many people turn to alternative treatments to get away from expensive prescription medications or to treat symptoms that have proved to be resistant to established medical treatments. Most medical experts tend to be skeptical of the claims made by proponents of alternative allergy treatments. Before any treatment or procedure is accepted as scientifically valid, it must undergo testing, clinical trials, and peer review. Alternative treatments generally have not met these standards and many rely on claims of success on the part of physicians and patients.

Most medical experts urge patients to avoid alternative therapies in the absence of scientific proof confirming the effectiveness and safety of these treatments. If a physician recommends an alternative treatment, the patient should get a second opinion from a board certified allergist or immunologist. Alternative allergy treatments include therapies that fall outside the boundaries of traditional allergy medicine. These treatments include homeopathy, acupuncture, herbs and dietary supplements, and hypnosis.

There are also more obscure treatments of alternative medicine available. Practitioners of alternative allergy treatments use these therapies to treat allergic rhinitis, food allergies, asthma, and other immune system disorders. Despite such skepticism, millions of people who suffer with allergies turn to alternative allergy treatments each year, sometimes on the recommendation of a physician. If a physician recommends an alternative treatment, the patient should seek a second opinion from an allergist. Alternative allergy treatments include hypnosis, acupuncture and acupressure, herbs and dietary supplements, and elimination diets. Most of the healthcare community urges patients to stay away from herbs and supplements and instead stay with proven prescription medications. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cannot guarantee the claims made by a manufacturer who may say that a product actually contains the active compound needed to treat a condition.

It has been found that this kind of anxiety disorders target more women than men. If you suffer from anxiety attacks, it is most likely that you will have to modify your lifestyle as the anxiety attacks do not allow you to follow your regular routine. A majority of people cannot differentiate between fear and anxiety; they tend to mix both of them. However, there is a clear cut difference between the two. These can be really dangerous and life altering if not treated in the initial stages.

A person when thinks that something is wrong, would seek a medical help. However, as far as the anxiety attacks are concerned, some doctors might not able to diagnose the actual problem. Even conducting several tests might not result into any conclusion. Some of the doctors might fell that you are completely ok. However the excruciating mental torture that you have to undergo, cannot be understood by anyone else. A small delay in the right treatment can really make the life of the patient an inferno.

Going to a regular family physician may not be a very good idea in situations where you get frequent bouts of anxiety attacks. Most often you may need to visit a psychiatrist or any other medical professional who deals with mental disorders. This is an area of specialization and there are very few good people doing a great job. If you want any sort of help for anxiety, visit the psychiatrist first. However, just visiting the psychiatrist or medical professional is not sufficient. You need to be patient with the doctor and the treatment.

Most of the medications that are prescribed by the psychiatrist or medical professionals are good, but most of them have great side effects also. If you want to try methods other than medications, then you may go in for the hypnosis therapy, which is completely safe and very effective. Usually this therapy is used in conjunction with the other therapies such as the cognitive-behavioral therapy. The medical specialist who undertakes this therapy is called as a hypnotherapist. The hypnotherapist may use therapeutic techniques that may be of great help for anxiety attacks.

You would need to tell the medical history and your health status to the hypnotherapist when you visit them for the first time. Then he would let you know as to what all are the advantages and drawbacks of hypnosis. After this, he would tell you the exact way the process works. The treatment starts with a series of relaxation exercises. Each session would be of approximately for 30 minutes and would make you feel better once taken three to four times.

After each session, the hypnotherapist makes certain observations and records the progress using special techniques. The results will be shared with you and you will know how much progress you have made toward normalcy. Mostly, children in the age group of nine to twelve are easily hypnotized and most of them get great relief in two to three sessions. Another aspect of the hypnosis therapy is the self-hypnosis treatment. This treatment is done on your own and you may need just few audio tapes and special instructions. The self-hypnosis is often done in tandem with the hypnotherapy.

Alternatively, you can opt for Linden method. It was devised by Charles Linden. This is considered to be quite effective and has helped quite a lot of people. The last two methods are drug-free and do not have any side effect. The cost of hypnotherapy may vary from one hypnotherapist to another. So, don’t think yourself to be helpless while you are into panic disorders. Fight it instead. All you need is right guidance with right treatment.

THE 7 PILLARS TO A LONGER, HEALTHIER LIFE

  1. SLEEP

Sleep more, age less…Sleep is not an optional activity. Life’s essential, sleep is a valuable treasure and should not be taken for granted.

Any book dedicated to the topic of aging will cite the necessity for enough sleep, which is 7-9 hours.

There is a strong relationship between deep sleep and the release of Growth Hormone. It is during sleep that adults secrete the greatest amount of HGH.

Sleep disturbances usually stem from 1) deficient adrenals and kidneys (need energy to sleep), 2) high blood pressure spike at 3AM, 3) damp-obstruction in the throat (blocks airways) snoring, semi-wakefulness , 4) excess heat rising from the liver which causes alert status, head heat and headache and 5) excess urination which wakes the person thus not allowing deep REM sleep

2. STRESS REDUCTION

You cannot deny the health benefits of stress reduction.

Alleviation of stress eliminates and slows aging and resists disease.

Dr. Paul E. Lemanski (Albany Medical College( writes, ‘Stress causes the release of ‘fight or flight’ hormones which increase blood flow to our large muscles, increase our heart rate, respirations and blood pressure, and decreases blood flow to the gastrointestinal tract including the saliva glands.

Sleep disturbances usually stem from 1) high blood pressure spiking at 3AM,  2) Deficient adrenals and kidneys (need energy to sleep), 3)  

3. EXERCISE

In ’Successful Aging’ (1998) a study on aging in America, which had begin in 1987, showed that almost all healthy seniors had been physically active throughout their life.

Dr. Andrew Weil, a well-known proponent of alternative or complementary medicine and the author of, ‘Healthy Aging’, supports the idea that up until modern times, humans have almost always been physically active, simply by surviving off the land. Today we work off computers. Essential to our health, we need to exercise daily.Walking helps if conducted at a moderate quick pace.

4. NUTRITION

We all know the importance of good nutrition and a balanced diet. But which diet? The best history of longevity is held by the Hunzakuts of the Pakastani Himalayas. Most of the people achieve the century mark. They practice these health pillars, exceptionally, and more. They eat 3/5 the calories as those in industrialized society, drink 40 cups of water with chunks of Himalyan mineral salt daily, work 12 hours a day then play,take long 20 mile treks or hike up the mountin side, meditate many times in the day, etc.  Their diet consists of fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and a little goat or Yak meat every couple of weeks, drink home made “Pani” wine (weak) and goat milk. Their great secret is that they don’t waste their waste. They put all animal and human elimination and garbage back into the soil as compared to industrial society where all all elimination goes down the drain to public works depts.and released in garbage dumps. The problem here is that our soil is depleted and their soil and crop can defend itself without the use of pesticide and nutrients. 

5. WATER

Like that of nutrition, lots can be said and studies can be cited all day long as to which type of water is best for us. One thing is for sure however. Drinking enough water on a daily basis is essential for proper elimination and detoxification. I have found that water in plastic containers is very acidic which results in an inflammatory state. City water is in healthy acid/alkaline ranges but still has too much chlorine. I suggest putting a filter on the tap and shower head. Less acid and chlorine.

6. SUPPLEMENTATION

Today it is becoming very hard to argue against proper supplementation in order to maintain health due to our poor soil nutrition. However, if one were to source natural crop supplementation, they would be better off. This is hard to come by because it takes extra knowledge to provide for yourself and you need to take the time to grow your crop. But, if you are are desiring longevity then I would begin the search for an urban community garden or acquire land to produce yourself.

Our top researchers, scientists and medicial professionals know connection between food-nutrient deficiencies and the diseases which plague the human body.

Since our soil is mineral deficient, effective supplementation based on plant nutrients is crucial. Longevity herbal is a beneficial natural source of highly mineralized, vitaminized food. Besides the health engendering alkalods contained there are dense nutrients which provides the human body the potential for correction. The key is the knowledge of the practitioner and chooser of the herbs essential for balance to be achieved. 

7. POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE

In the work called “The Secret” and many studies before, a positive belief in oneself, one’s vision, having supportive people to hold you to the task and believing in you, recognizing when you are off-course and positively course correcting will greatly minimize stress, affect others to be positive and reflect back positivity.   

There are, of course, other pillars to support a long and healthy life, but these are what we consider the most fundamental. More in-depth information can be found at “Secrets of Longevity“ 

If this is true, why do we not hear about it?

It seems that “money” (as usual) has blinded doctors and medical practitioners to the degree that they are now willingly *suppressing* the truth regarding diabetes – its control, management, and even its cure!

That’s right: “cure!”

And what should shock you even more:

It seems that it’s against the law to say the word “cure” when describing anything that actually cures you.

Yet it’s very much okay to say that something “treats” or helps “offset” the symptoms of some health condition or disease.

But if you say “cure” (and even including when you in fact have a real and bona fide cure for something and can even prove it!) you can get arrested.

Ever wonder why we have a “healthcare” industry and not a “healthcure” industry?

It’s simply because no one’s out to “cure” anyone because there’s little money in doing so. In ancient China, the doctor was paid to KEEP you well. If you became sick, he did not get paid until you were well again. The focus of the medical practice was to keep people well.

Instead, in ‘modern medicine’, keeping you sick and marginally pain-free is all most people seem to be doing. Why would they want to develop or promote a cure? There is no money in that and, as is obvious, the pharmaceutical giants are businesses and therefore are out to make money – bottom line!

So bringing a cure the market would not serve them at all as it would mean you buy it one time, and then you’re cured – and that’s that (over and done!)

One courageous fellow by the name of Melford Bibens, CPT, overcame “naturally” the dreaded disease Diabetes!

Not only that, but Melford has lectured and personally helped individuals beat the disease to the point that proven sufferers have actually gotten re-diagnoses as “no longer having the disease at all!” (Something that’s pretty much always been ruled out as a possibility altogether! – and now which may even be against the law!)

But it’s not certain how long Melford will be allowed to do this because the government is using “Gestapo” tactics whereby people and businesses truly offering “cures” have been raided with masked armed police who even go to the point of forcing customers in the stores to get down on the floor at gunpoint! This is not just a ‘story’ – medical clinics and offices that offer anything other than the usual ‘accepted treatments’ are being harassed, raided or shut down.

There are different techniques to the insertion of the needles, including care for the angles at which they are inserted, different types of needles (there are nine, but most practitioners only use six types of the needles), and various ways to twirl or vibrate the needles.

The needles are placed on the body depending upon the ailment of the patient.

Precise placement of the needles draws energy to the needed areas and makes way for positive energy flow. This is what adherents profess gives the health benefits.

Magnet therapy is the latest alternative therapy that is gaining momentum. You may even have seen magnetic bracelets in your doctor’s office or in drug stores. Magnetic therapy operates on the knowledge that the human body is controlled by magnetic fields and charged ions and benefits from its balance. When an area of the body is injured, positive ions flood the area, causing pain and swelling.

Magnetic therapy causes the positive ions to flee the affected area, allowing the body to return to its normal negative state. Clinical studies show magnet therapy to be an effective treatment for back pain, insomnia, high cholesterol and blood pressure, and many other ailments. The therapy works by applying magnets to certain parts of the body, by magnetic field-generating machines, or by magnetic mattresses or blankets.

Magnet therapy has been used to treat arthritis, cancer, circulatory disorders, fibromyalgia, inflammation, insomnia, muscle pain and rheumatoid arthritis. According to practitioners, with proper application and instrumentation, magnetic therapy is between 80 and 90 percent effective.

At the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, physicians are utilizing electromagnetic field therapy to study ways to help patients who suffer emotional strain from war. It is thought that approximately eight percent of all Israelis who have been exposed to armed combat suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder. A coil containing twenty hertz of electromagnetic waves is held close to the patient’s head to create alternate magnetic fields, thereby stimulating deep parts of the brain. According to Dr. Abraham Zangen of the Weizmann Institute, transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS attempts to change the way a patient’s brain deals with memories of traumatic events. As patients are reminded of trauma, the amygdala triggers and the prefrontal cortex becomes inhibited. Consequently, the electromagnetic pulse actually stimulates the prefrontal cortex and strengthens the synaptic connectivity to help folks process the emotions more effectively. In most cases, we have a very nice reaction, very good response; not always lasting forever, not always long lasting, but a good response, Zangen said.

Several medical studies that have been carried out reportedly support the practice of magnetic therapy. However, these are extremely controversial studies. Numerous critics say that there is no relevant way to measure whether the magnets proved beneficial. Some believe the magnets are similar to a placebo. The person is assured that it will work and so the patient thinks this and reports back that they feel better. You will likely encounter more information on why magnet therapy does not work than information that supports it. It is up to you to weed through all of the data and reach your own conclusion. Probably, the best bet is to find someone that already uses magnetic jewelry products or has tried it in the past. Many countries have authorized therapeutic magnets to be used as medical devices but the US is definitely not on that list.
