Stress can trigger allergies. Most people who develop allergies in adult life do so after a sudden, significant stress or a build-up of lesser stresses over a period of time. Allergies often develop after such stresses as a bad case of ‘flu, glandular fever, hepatitis, a surgical operation, pregnancy or termination of pregnancy. Over-work, loss of one’s job, divorce, death of a loved one, living with a drug addict or alcoholic, over-exercise, crummy jobs and bad relationships can also trigger allergies.

Not everybody subjected to these stresses develops allergies. Only those with a genetic predisposition to allergy or the existence of a low-grade allergy, develop the full-blown symptoms. Many people go through life with allergies that are so mild they exhibit no symptoms at all. These people are unaware of the low-grade (called subclinical by your doctor) allergies smouldering away inside of them, until the stresses of life begin to mount up. Accumulating stresses over time lower the body’s resistance to the point where out-of-the-blue allergies begin to appear.

For this reason all effective allergy treatments begin with the Metabolism-Balancing Program, to build up the body nutritionally, and a concerted effort, wherever possible, to lower any environmental and situational stresses that may exist. The deep breathing and mental relaxation exercises in this chapter help greatly to alleviate the latter two. Changing one’s attitude is singularly the most potent stress reducer of all.

If your stress levels are not reduced you will not receive a 100 per cent improvement on the allergy treatment regime outlined in this book. The only program to be on while under stress is the Metabolism-Balancing Program. Remain on this program until you have significantly reduced the stress. This will probably take

longer than six to eight weeks if you are getting over the loss of a loved one, going through a divorce, settling into a new city or country, grappling with the problems of living in an undesirable relationship that you are unable to extricate yourself from. If you are in one or more of these situations, be patient. Just concentrate on getting as much rest as possible, doing the deep breathing exercises and the mental relaxation exercises.

Work also on developing a positive attitude by not saying such things as ‘Why me?’, ‘It’s not fair!’. In time, with constant practice, you will be pleasantly surprised to discover your stress levels and the intensity of your symptoms will be reducing. If you have put yourself on the Anti-Candida/Anti-Allergy Program first and are not experiencing a reduction of your symptoms, you are almost certainly stressed. Stress prevents allergy cure.

The grieving process is both erratic and time consuming. It can take up to two years to get over a divorce or the death of a loved one. During this time, good and bad days will come and go for no apparent reason and to no set pattern. Be patient. Don’t lose heart if you go into a sudden erratic downswing at a time when you are feeling good. This is normal, just accept it. By not dwelling on the downswings, they will pass more quickly and in time will recur less frequently. Your symptoms might reappear during the downswings. Don’t lose heart and think the program is not working if this happens. Keep on persisting. Time will heal all.
