| In this series of articles I have been presenting | | | | emphasize the |
| hypnotic | | | | sweet smell and sweet taste of mommy's |
| strategies for dealing with allergies and other | | | | breath, her milk, her |
| immune system | | | | skin, smelling and tasting like these molds. As we |
| diseases. Today I discuss a primary reason why | | | | progressed |
| our western | | | | his symptoms rapidly cleared, and in two |
| civilization is so rife with this type of disease. | | | | sessions he became |
| Literally | | | | symptom free. The key here is to use hypnotic |
| millions of Americans suffer asthma, pollen | | | | language to |
| allergies, and | | | | build for the infant a vivid bodily experience of |
| autoimmune diseases in which the immune | | | | being held, |
| system appears to be | | | | loved, and nursed, with a special emphasis on |
| indiscriminately attacking harmless dust, pollens, | | | | breathing in |
| and even | | | | the sweet smell of Mommy, which in this case |
| our own body cells. Why here? Why Us?The | | | | was the smells |
| human immune system like that of all mammals is | | | | of the jungle. Thus the nose and lungs receive |
| programmed at birth with the biochemical | | | | the message at |
| signatures of those | | | | a subconscious level that this smell is safe. I |
| microorganisms which present a real health | | | | suspect that |
| hazard and the | | | | this process can be used to desensitize us to |
| particular chemical antibodies needed to combat | | | | any allergen.Although we use an ideal image of the |
| them. The | | | | perfect mother for this |
| newborn is also programmed with what food | | | | healing of the immune system, it doesn't usually |
| proteins are safe, | | | | require the |
| and which pollens, molds, etc. are safe in the | | | | client to process angry feelings about their original |
| infant's | | | | mother |
| world. This information helps the emerging | | | | or to "fire" her for not being a good enough |
| immune system of | | | | mom. Some |
| the newborn adjust to the biochemical | | | | clients need to process feelings about their |
| environment into which | | | | original mother |
| it is born.The thymus gland in the infant is very | | | | in the context of achieving other therapeutic |
| large compared to its | | | | objectives. But |
| vestigial appearance in the human adult. It is as | | | | I usually encourage my clients to understand that |
| large as | | | | their |
| the infant's heart, which it sits next to. The task | | | | original mother simply didn't know what was |
| of the | | | | needed for her |
| thymus is to build the infant's biochemical immune | | | | child so we are calling in a divine or angelic |
| system. | | | | mother to take |
| After the first few months of life the thymus | | | | care of this infant. I suggest that this process |
| begins to | | | | does not |
| shrink, so clearly this process develops most | | | | need to affect in any way the relationship they |
| rapidly in | | | | have with |
| those first few months of life.The biggest help | | | | their mom in the present.One client objected to |
| for this process comes from mother's milk, | | | | my theory by telling me that her son |
| or, more specifically, her colostrum, the sticky | | | | had numerous allergies that were extremely |
| clear fluid | | | | debilitating, but, |
| that precedes milk production. Scientists have | | | | she insisted, he had been nursed. I encouraged |
| found that | | | | her to examine |
| this clear fluid is chock full of antibodies containing | | | | the circumstances of this nursing. Were you |
| the | | | | under severe |
| chemical signatures of all the microorganisms that | | | | stress? Were you smoking or using drugs that |
| mother's | | | | could have made |
| own immune system has learned to fight. I also | | | | your milk toxic? Yes she said, all the above. |

| this chemical program may reveal what foods, | | | | blame a mother for doing the best she can to |
| harmless | | | | care for a child |
| pollens, etc. can be safely trusted by the child. | | | | in our civilization, which appears to care so little |
| Thus the | | | | for the |
| infant's immune system "learns" what is safe and | | | | infants in our midst. But when the delicate but |
| what is not.It is therefore logical to conclude that | | | | essential |
| when an infant is | | | | biochemical cord that connects us to the safety |
| fed formula and not nursed, that infant's immune | | | | of this |
| system is | | | | mother earth is cut, it is the task of every |
| compromised very seriously. The immune | | | | healer to |
| system doesn't know | | | | reestablish that bond.Another factor in the |
| how to tell friend from foe, harmless dust or | | | | creation of food allergies specifically |
| molds from | | | | is the way a mother introduces her child to solid |
| dangerous pathogens. Many infants and young | | | | foods. In |
| children suffer | | | | traditional cultures a mother chews the food |
| from the epidemics of allergies and asthma that | | | | herself before |
| result from | | | | offering it to her infant. Thus the mother's own |
| this confusion. Other infants may appear to be | | | | digestive |
| unaffected, | | | | enzymes are mixed with the food to give the |
| but years later, when stresses build in their adult | | | | infant the tools |
| lives, | | | | for digestion. In addition, mother is patient and |
| the immune system panics and goes on the | | | | loving with |
| attack. Doctors have | | | | her infant and both enjoy the feeding experience |
| known for years about this danger, but few | | | | as play, |
| have spoken out. | | | | filled with laughter and fun. Thus the infant learns |
| Part of this is perhaps because women today | | | | that |
| don't wish their | | | | this food is good. When infant feedings are done |
| freedom to choose parenting styles to be | | | | in a |
| compromised by | | | | hurried, stressed out way by a mother who is |
| medical science. Perhaps few physicians are willing | | | | late for work or |
| to take | | | | on the phone, what message do we expect this |
| on the pharmaceutical industry, which has such a | | | | child's |
| powerful | | | | digestive system to receive about this new |
| control over our health care system and for | | | | food? Fortunately, |
| whom infant | | | | in hypnosis we can use regression to return to |

| nothing | | | | experience our new, divine mother teaching us |
