I have suffered from allergies most of my life (though not as severe as you, Sheena), and while I have no way to prove it, I have a hunch it's led to a slew of other issues (absorptions issues, thyroid, etc.). I had the "prick test" done a few years ago and was 4+ (highest level) to 27/29 allergens. The woman testing said she'd never seen someone so high. I did BIE at the behest of a friend a year or so ago. I was staying w/ her and was very allergic to her cat--couldn't even be near the cat without needing an inhaler. Within 2 sessions, allergies were cleared. I had an endoscopy a few weeks ago and was diagnosed with this weird condition where foods are apparently causing me to get hives in my esophagus (ugh!) and that food feels like it gets stuck, so I'm now working with this BIE specialist in Baltimore on food allergies. I've been stunned at how many foods I'm allergic to--I was allergic to every, single nut except chestnuts! Anyway, I don't really have the money for this, but if it will help me, I'm open to it. Joe, I'm curious how it worked for you doing it on yourself? <br /><br />Many thanks for posting this! Hope you are all feeling well (Sheena, I notice this is an older post--how are you feeling now, three years later? Have you had any recurrence of the allergies? <br /><br />All the best, beth Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15421023781871462677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6191111628087870353.post-7309005905732168622013-10-13T16:59:22.138-04:002013-10-13T16:59:22.138-04:00looks good I will try...thankslooks good I will try...thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6191111628087870353.post-67171045278278134432013-05-02T20:25:32.463-04:002013-05-02T20:25:32.463-04:00Thanks for posting this. I live in North Carolina ...Thanks for posting this. I live in North Carolina USA. I have been doing BIE for severe across the board food allergies / intolerance that put me into a narcoleptic sleep with severe brain swelling every time I eat - seriously..... only steak, peas, green beans and broccoli were non-offenders. I've had chronic fatigue for 13 years, allergies for 36 years & used to have asthma before an accupuncturist took care of that in 5 visits. My immune system has been struggling for a long time & the last 3 years I've become debilitated - not being able to work. I've spent around $15,000 on high quality supplements, M.D.'s, Alternative M.D.'s, accupuncture, traditional cranial sacral (which saved my life when I was born premature in the 60's) and literally years of research to try to figure this thing out & get help. I worked for 10 yrs in a health food store in my 20's & for a vitamin company for 2 years - so not being able to help myself or find help has been frustrating beyond belief. As of now (April 2013) I have done four treatments & I am seeing improvements which is a miracle. I drank a cup of black tea last week which would usually send me to bed within 15 minutes or less and I had no reaction. Same with berries, pasta, bread, veggies & just discovered this week I can take supplement without instantly falling asleep. It's all getting better - not perfect yet, but improvement every week or so as BIE takes the burden off my immune system. Instead of being in bed all day, sleeping 12 hours a night and having to take 2 two hour naps during the day only to feel completely exhausted when 'awake' to seeing improvement & being able to eat more and more foods & take supplements - that's a miracle. I do still have to take a 2 hour nap in the afternoon, but I know that will pass, too, as my sleep cycle becomes normalized. Two and a half years ago I went to an alternative M.D. who did thousands of dollars of blood / hair testing & there were nutrients that were severely low because I was avoiding food to try to drag myself out of bed for a few hours to get something done around the house. My vit C was so low the doc said I was on the verge of getting scurvy. At that point I couldn't consume supplements - they'd put me to sleep. A lot of vit C comes from corn & that was a huge offender. When my BIE therapist told me after muscle testing that I wasn't absorbing anythiing it made total sense to me from my blood work. He didn't know about the blood work at all. I have so much to clear that it's probably going to take around 6 more treatments on top of the 4 I've already had. To be able to eat food again is fabulous. It's going to take a while for my body to get the nutrients it needs from food & high quality supplements to fully function, but this is the miracle I've been waiting for. My BIE therapist leaves it on each point for around a minute or so. Turns out my BIE therapist started doing this after having a friend of his tell him about his wife having her allergies cured through BIE. My therapist then went to a BIE practitioner & it cured his allergies. My therapist was retired, he went to school to be a nutritionist, got BIE training and is helping other people. After I get better & my brain starts to be able to function again properly I want to go to college for nutrition, take the BIE training & open my own practice to help people get the relief I did. What a blessing!Dremanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6191111628087870353.post-75805439049732835252013-03-31T17:18:35.244-04:002013-03-31T17:18:35.244-04:00I agree he's a super cute kid!

Thanks for your comment and I'm sorry ...Hi Joe,<br />Thanks for your comment and I'm sorry I didn't respond to you sooner. Unfortunately I have spent a lot of time, and lot of money for BIE, but my health has become much, much better because of it. I haven't had a healing crisis every time, so if I were you I would not be discouraged by that. I did not have success with my first BIE treatments either, we are not sure why, but I tried another practitioner and that made all the difference. I'm not sure how long they are supposed to place the BIE instrument on the acupuncture points, but I would estimate that my allergist keeps it there for 30 seconds to 1 minute. I hope that you have had success treating yourself with the laser that you bought, I would be very interested in hearing more about that. I wish you luck with your health!

I have a lot of allergies so I just assumed that it was going to take a lot of time (and money). The most disconcerting part was that I did not have any healing crises'. One thing I noticed was that he only left the laser on a specific spot for a few seconds before moving on. Everything I read says it should be applied for 1 t 3 minutes. Soooooo........I took matters into my own hands (literally). I went on eBay and bought a 5 mw cold laser and started doing BIE treatments myself. I just looked up some key pressure points for allergies on the web and started holding different foods in one hand while pointing the laser using the other. A funny thing happened to me the next day. I felt like crap! I have a sore throat, stuffed nose, I'm tired, and even nervous. Its either a healing crisis or a cold. Either way its something. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experience.<br /><br />JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6191111628087870353.post-2754448235810060402012-06-04T02:19:35.751-04:002012-06-04T02:19:35.751-04:00Hi Leah, thanks for your comment!

Trusting BIE is something that I struggled with - I wanted to be open to new treatment, but it is very difficult to trust something that is not common practice. I`m glad that I stuck with it though, because I have noticed such a drastic improvement. Yes, BIE can clear you for environmental allergies like pollen, mold, pets etc. My allergist actually lets me bring in samples of anything that I would like to be cleared for (foods, cosmetics, dirt from my vacuum and dust from my purifier...) but I understand that not everyone does this, and they rely on the vials of allergens that are provided by the BIE company. I should also mention that you can be cleared for emotional issues, geopathic stresses, vitamins and minerals, organ systems that are not functioning properly - really it can help balance any number of things that your body may need help with.Sheena Cucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288391432897050565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6191111628087870353.post-18318648144760696762012-06-01T13:12:37.735-04:002012-06-01T13:12:37.735-04:00Good post Sheena, this is really interesting.

And like you said, that's true of many conventional medicines and treatments - we don't really understand how or why they work but we just trust them.
