Allergy Elimination is a remarkable and relatively new discovery in the field of acupuncture.
Dr. Devi Nambudripad discovered acupuncture and acupressure allergy elimination techniques in the 1980's while working with her own food allergies. She and other doctors have experimented and expanded upon this rapidly growing technique. We can now often relieve many food and environmental allergies permanently.
"Allergy Elimination really works. After the 24 hour waiting period my son was eating macaroni and cheese for the first time. Getting rid of my 3-year-olds' dairy allergies changed our lives forever."
- Julie Meisenheimer
Allergy Elimination or “Allergy Deprogramming” is an acu-stimulation treatment that provides permanent relief from an allergic reaction. In it’s simplest form, allergy elimination consists of stimulating classical acupuncture points on the body while the patient holds the allergen in their hand.
One of the benefits of acu-stimulation is that it is not necessary to use acupuncture needles to stimulate the points on the body for allergy elimination to work.
Before prescribing treatment, the practitioner uses techniques such as muscle testing or Applied Kinesiology (AK) to pinpoint the specific patient allergies.
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a feedback system that we may use to determine what kind of allergies a patient has and their relative severity. AK is not without limitations and errors, but at least one study showed a 96% agreement between AK tests and the standard prick-test for determining allergies.

The real downside of the treatment is that only one allergen or class of allergens can be cleared at one time. For example, an allergy to dairy products may be cleared in one treatment, but not an allergy to dairy and to wheat. In the hands of a skilled practitioner an allergen can be cleared successfully over 95% of the time. For severe allergic reactions several clearings may be necessary to completely eliminate all reactivity. Patients undergoing Allergy Elimination must also avoid the allergen during the first 24 hours after treatment.
Allergic reactions are a form of protection in which the body responds to what it perceives to be as an invasion or a threat. Hence, the body becomes "programmed" to react when in the presence of a substance or energy.
An allergen is any substance or energy that the body reacts to when brought near or in the body. Allergies can be passed down from your family or ancestors while others are acquired.
Virtually any substance may become an allergen. An allergy can be acquired by very simple mechanisms such as an exposure to abundant pollen. The microscopically sharp and barbed pollens land on tender mucous membranes and embed there.
The immune system reacts to this foreign invader by programming various immune system components to react against them or simply by developing a mild sensitivity to the substance, which is programmed into the energy system. Often allergies are acquired when a person goes through emotional stress or emotional trauma.
When I was a child I had a chronic cough that seemed to get worse when I played in the yard. My mother took me to an allergist. They prick tested my back and presented my mother with a list of my allergies. My allergies included a number of weeds, flowers and tree pollens. No mention of food allergies. For two years my mother and I would make weekly trips to the allergist's office for an injection in each arm. As an adult, I still had allergies and once had a life threatening asthma attack because of an overexposure to a common weed. What were all those shots for?
As an adult, a chiropractor once muscle-tested me for allergies and determined I was allergic to dairy products - which made sense as I began to monitor my diet. I wondered if all the milk I drank as a child was responsible for my early allergy suffering, and was annoyed that "modern medicine" hadn't detected what the chiropractor easily discerned.
During my studies as a healing practitioner, I learned some of the emerging methods of eliminating allergies with acupuncture.
In private practice I applied these methods on patients and found that I was about 60% successful in treating specific allergies. To me, this wasn't success -- it was a 40% failure rate.
After several years of thoughtful trial-and-error, I finally refined an allergy release method that uses traditional acupressure in conjunction with emotional trauma clearing techniques (EFT and modified TAT) - and has a much higher success rate.
I now often apply combination therapies for Allergy Elimination, and my success rates are over 95%.
