Personal thoughts on health and an allergy.

Earlier this year I developed an allergy which resulted in Hives/Urticaria. Today I have it under control and rarely have to take antihistamines (partly because I have discovered the triggers (food/drink based and Somac – a prescribed medication).

The allergy situation has been a nuisance, and at times very debilitating. At one stage things started to get serious – puffy lips and Adrenaline injection etc. I will be adding more about my experiences to this blog in due course.

The whole situation has had a very positive effect on me in a number of ways, not all of which I will detail here.

Besides being more grateful for good health; my mind, spirit, psyche have been strengthened. It has also been a good opportunity to be reminded of how many people suffer, especially the elderly. (At one stage my hands were incredibly itchy and painful – similar I expect to arthritis).

I enjoy very good health and my immune system is very strong. This has been the case for many years now and I cannot remember when I last had a virus (apart from an unusual inner ear thing which caused vertigo in 98, and was probably related to my inner ear nerve damage). It may be as long ago as the late 80′s since I had a virus. I have had the odd bacterial infection over the period however and a few other non viral health issues. I distinctly recall that my colds and Flu stopped when I decided I was not going to be ill – this was back in the UK in either the late 80′s or early 90′s. In the last 5-6-7 years or so I have also been having Flu vaccinations because I also believe in doing what I logically can to support health.

The decision ‘not to get ill’ I have no doubt has contributed to my good health. My subconscious has also been clear of any desire to be ill for many years. The mind is a powerful thing. Hopefully my experiences will inspire others to at least start thinking more positively.

I would also add that my decision not to be ill is also associated with very strong emotion from very deep within. Perhaps there is some connection with the general healing principle suggested in my article Shamanism and Personal Development. Some of this kind of stuff is edgy in the sense that it is on the periphery of our knowledge and understanding. A key focus for me is that which works. And it does. I am a Private Investigator with a very factual mindset and frankly I would be crazy if I disbelieved all the things I have personally experienced.

My forte is in the area of mind healing (which also affects the physical) as opposed to physical healing. I have developed low to moderate physical healing ability. I am working on developing it further and this allergy thing has served to deepen my compassion for others. You see, being so well and happy has tended to make me become disconnected somewhat from suffering unless I channel it.

I have benefited in many other ways from this allergy. Overall it has been a very positive experience.

PS: If you are someone who has trouble believing in the spiritual dimension then I suggest you have a read of this article I wrote. As someone concerned only to dwell on facts you owe it to yourself to be sure.
