Allergies
We had a very wet winter which typically leads to an over abundance of allergies. If you haven’t ever had allergies, you’ve part of the lucky few.
In 1985 I experienced allergies to a level of my face and neck swelling to a point of turning into what looked like a solid mass without indentations. I had no neck no difference between the height of my nose and cheeks. I could barely breath and became afraid of sleeping because I thought I wouldn’t be able to get enough air in my lungs if I relaxed.
I went through the typical allergy tests which revealed I was allergic to ever tree in the world except one in South America. I was allergic to most flowers and an array of everyday exposures such as gasoline, perfumes, dust and, I swear, most food.
The answer of the M.D. who was an allergy specialist was to put my on a regiment of allergy shots, pills and repetitive appointments.
The problem, the doctor couldn’t guarantee I would get any better.
So I turned first to an acupuncturist. She had been in practice for more than20 years and was a very gentle soul. She helped me tremendously. I did have to drink a disgusting tea that could only pass my lips if I held my nose, but within 6 months I didn’t have the severe reactions I had before.
Some pessimists have suggested I would have overcome the allergies naturally within that time, but two years later they were back. I went back to the allergist and sure enough, three months later the symptoms were gone.
So I have to go with, it works!
I also found by taking at least 3 teaspoons of honey from the area I live I build up a resistance to what I am reacting to naturally.
Viruses
At first I thought I had food poisoning, but then it returned a few days later and lasted five days straight!
You know, the achy feeling and that miserable feeling of not being able to keep any food down?
I avoid taking prescriptions or most over the counter remedies, but I tried all the normal remedies, Pepto, tea, saltines . . . but I didn’t have any luck with anything . . . until I thought, okay, this is a great test for the Laser!
Not only did the achy feeling go away, but the nausea and exhaustion! I was actually taking two to three hour naps every day! I don’t know what I would have done if I had a job!
So isn’t it strange I had the Laser all along but never but two and two together? Isn’t that the way it is? We often have solutions right at our finger tips but we don’t recognize them or maybe it’s been so long we’ve forgotten about them.
About four months ago I went to one of my Elite Leads meetings and started loosing my voice. Within a half hour my throat was inflamed. I figured it was allergies so simply took one cough drop after another. But it didn’t let up. The second day I remembered a remedy I had made up while in Reno the night before a speaking engagement.
I got up at 2 am, went to the bar and the only thing I could think of was fresh orange juice and for some odd reason I added about 6 drops of Tabasco sauce. By morning my throat was perfectly normal.
So I went back to the OJ and Tabasco and sure enough, a couple of hours later, it was perfect!
