Welcome to another great episode of unlock your superpower. I'm your host, Michelle Nietzsche, and I have with me, Veronica. Joseph, yes and Veronica, what are we going to dissect today? We're going to talk about allergies. Yeah, and one of the things that's happening is that I feel like, every year is allergy season, every single month is allergy season. Every single like, our official season is allergy season. Allergies just keep coming. And if people have a cold, they're just like, I just have allergies. But we don't actually even know if it's actually a cold or if it's actually really allergy, because they just use it as a sentence. So what are your thoughts about that? What do you think that is true? Michelle, if they feel anything that is not normal to them, they always say, Oh, it's just allergy. If they have runny nose, they always say, oh, it might be just allergies.

So allergy is actually your immune system overreacting to the substance that you are sensitive to, and it produces histamine that causes the allergic reaction. So the allergic symptoms can be felt in a subtle way, or mild or severe. Like, for instance, someone can have a brain fog or fatigue, or they can have pain, diarrhea or difficulty breathing like the response could be immediate, like once they are exposed to that particular substance, or they consume it anywhere from seconds or three to five days, depending upon the severity of the allergic reaction, or depending upon the severity of the allergy.

Yeah, that's interesting, because I remember sometimes my sister would not be necessarily exposed to anything, quote, unquote, but she would get exposed to like a negative Energy. So she comes upon like a negative energy in the depressants, and she'll break out in highs. Her body would react. And so then we'd have to go through the whole Benadryl route. Sometimes she would just be doing her normal day stuff, and she'd just be like, Oh my god, I have a cold, right? But then the cold is just there for like, 24 hours, not like a lingering cold for seven days. And so it's just really interesting how that happened. And then for me personally, I've experienced, like, being allergic to cat dander, okay, where I didn't know if I see a cat, I'm okay, but if, God forbid, that cat four ends up on my clothes, right? Then I got the runny eyes and the runny nose, and my face is swollen, and so just having that awareness of, you know, the severity and, like, the reasoning behind it.

So what are your thoughts about that? So basically, as far as the substance that you are sensitive to, it could be anything. Can be food, it can be the trees, the grass, it can be chemicals, like what you mentioned earlier. It could be pets, or it could be the color of your clothes.

So it could be anything, yeah, or even sometimes, I've noticed that when they wear a certain material, like synthetic material versus, like 100% for pure cotton, or they use, like, they wear a real gold necklace versus a fake serving silver necklace, like they'll get reaction on their skin. So it's not necessarily to ingest something you could just be exposed to it just as you're doing normal life things. So is that what I'm hearing you say, Yeah. And it can be like, perfume too, yeah. Like, if the perfume is so strong, maybe, like the soap by contact or detergent. I mean, that's another possibility. Or it could also be medications or supplements. Like, when I see people carrying their two bags of supplements, and when I do the muscle testing, I usually discover, like, a lot of them are toxic, and it could generate some allergic reaction to them that they didn't even know, because it's very subtle, absolutely so. Like, what do you think would be the best way to get a cure or a handle on this? Do you need to go to, like, an allergist right away? Or do we need to do, like, like you mentioned, muscle testing to do it for, like, muscle test everything that we're eating? Or, like, how do we go about it? Do we need to contact a doctor Oriental medicine, like how they go about this, there's several ways to do it.

So the first thing that I recommend people that having sensitivities is to find out what they're sensitive to. They can do, like a skin test, a patch test, or even a blood test, so that they'll find out what chemical, what food, what environmental factors there are allergic to. And wow, so there are, there are modalities, basically that you can figure out the root cause of it, so you don't necessarily being in the dark all the time, right? And also, they can do the food diary. They can break down the food that they eat every day, and also track down like the symptoms that they're experiencing, so that they can find pattern and they can check and see if the food that they consume at that time suddenly they feel headache or tiredness, and every time they are exposed or consumed to that food, they're experiencing the same issue as a pattern that possibly can trigger the allergic reaction by consuming that particular food or exposing themselves to that particular substance. And is it something that like the food diary they can find online through Google, or do they have to like work with something like a professional, like a doctor oriental medicine or an allergist, doctor to get the food diary. Like, how do they get access to this food diary?

No, the food diary just have to write down the food that they eat. Oh, that's it. So there's not actual template, yeah, so just note taking. Like, okay, one day, Tuesday, Wednesday, you know, like every day, breakfast, lunch, dinner. So that's another way, or they can also do muscle test in NAET, which is Namudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique. We call it neuromuscular sensitivity testing, where they hold the substance, and then we muscle test them, and if the NST is weak, right? So pretty much we're gonna hold

the muscle. And then we press the arm while they're holding the substance. If it is strong, that means, you know, they're okay with the food, they're not sensitive. But if they're weak, that means it's possibly that they are sensitive to that particular substance so powerful and popular, knowing the fact that, like, there's so many allergies that are coming out out of the woodwork, especially with little kids. No, they're allergic to, like peanuts, and not just peanuts, like nuts all together. Or they could be lactose intolerant, or, you know, they're like, they're fine growing up, and the next thing you know, in their 30s and 40s and 50s, they're like, Oh no, I can't do milk anymore. So our bodies are constantly changing with the foods that we're having, or the things that we're surrounded with, right and possible causes could be like genetic and that means it is inherited from the parents. It could also be a result from surgery, a severe illness, or traumatic experiences or possibly due to environmental exposure, for instance, like exposure to the mold at an early age, or mold toxicity, I think it's called mold toxicity, right? They're allergic to the mold that's been that they've been surrounded with that is correct.

So yeah, so in in your case, if people feel so overwhelmed with the emotions that they're experiencing, what can you recommend to them that they can do to help manage with their emotions, if they feel overwhelmed. I think one thing that I do as a neuro linguistic programming practitioner, I think one of the things that with overwhelm is just paying attention. Okay, you're gonna feel an emotion is going to trigger you. You're either going to feel stressed in your shoulders, your stomach is going to be in knots. You might have a headache, right? So just paying attention to the signs of your body, because our bodies are is a vehicle, is a vessel, and our body is very knowledgeable.

Sometimes we just think knowledge is from our brain. But in reality, you can listen to the way your heart beats like have you ever seen the cutest person on the street, and your entire summit goes into butterflies, and, you know, this cute person is walking towards you, and you're like, oh my god, I can't breathe. Oh my God, I want to run. Oh yeah, you know, it's like your tongue twisted, and it's like, it's the same thing. But imagine it with overwhelm, the stress of it being weighing on you, the burden of this heavy rock on you.

So allergies and overwhelm are very similar, because each of them are telling that our body is not accepting something correct. Overwhelm could be a situation with a lot of women and a lot of men when they're in the kitchen, cooking amazing meal. By the end of the day, when they're done cooking elaborate dishes, it's time to consume the dishes that they've made, they automatically go, I'm not hungry because the amount of food and the energy that was poured into making these amazing dishes, their automatic mind goes, I can't eat the food that I just made. I have to eat something else, right, right? But a lot of people are like, well, that's crazy, but because their mind has been I've just been focusing on one thing, one thing, one thing, and now they're overwhelmed because I saw the product that was delivered, right? So just paying attention to what's in front of you, paying attention to how you're reacting. Because overwhelm is just a feeling. Overwhelm is just an emotion. And an emotion is an energy in motion, right?

As you know that Veronica, right, as a practitioner of yourself, you know that it's just an energy in motion that is an E motion. So just overwhelm, frustration, stress, anxiety, they kind of have the same rhythm in our bodies. You know what? As far as NAET is concerned, and also the traditional Chinese medicine, emotion can affect our organs. So for instance, if you are afraid that will affect the kidneys, if you are worried that will impact your digestive system, right, and are sad that can also affect the lungs. So for people like you said, paying attention, not only with the emotion and also the body, like if there is any pain, so that means an inflammation, your body is actually telling you a message that you know there's something going on here. So instead of taking the pain medication, which just a band aid, is just numb you, they have to listen to the message that the body is sending them, that something needs to be addressed to avoid the pain. Right in American culture, we always wanted to be like, address it and resolve it right away. That what do you call that? Like a quick fix? Right? The quick fix? Yeah, we just want the instant relief, right? Which is why New Zealand and America, United States of America and New Zealand are the only two countries that advertise pharmaceutical drugs in mainstream media. Oh, okay, every single TV show that you watch, yeah, whether it be news, whether it be the 80s show, the 90s shows, whatever TV show, movies, every commercial has at least one pharmaceutical company advertising it. We look at magazines, you know, whether it be Women's Health magazine or with the old magazine right there, pharmaceutical drugs advertisements written in that and the advertisement might be the cure. Might be 20% 80% of the side effects. This is great to cure this. However, be aware of the side effects, and they give you a laundry list of side effects. So basically, with Namudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique, which is a natural protocol, that can help desensitize the substance. This is done by stimulating the acupressure points along the spine, from the neck to the sacrum. A neuromuscular sensitivity testing is applied to check the kinetic imbalance in the body caused by the allergen, a strong NST or muscle testing indicates that the allergen has been desensitized. Then specific acupressure points are massage or acupuncture is performed to reinforce the treatment the substance should then be avoided for at least 25 hours after the treatment for best results.

I love that, and I know as a patient of yours, and as a person that's experienced NAET for the past four years, I've seen massive improvement in my life. You know releasing because you know releasing menstrual cramps to becoming two days to now, reducing it to one day, having a menstrual cycle from going from eight days to now six days with a medium light to a medium cycle, right?

So it's just your body based on what's important and what you need in this moment. And so just having that awareness as a first hand experience like I would not have changed my life or anything. I remember going like traveling to New York recently, and, you know, I didn't realize that cross country could be a considerable long flight. Because for me, a long flight is going to India. That's a 17 hour flight for your first destination. You have a four or five hour layover, you know, and then you go on to your second leg of the trip, if so people like, well, you know, six hours lifetime. But like, your joints get stiffed, you know, your joints become tiny. And I came off that plane, I felt everything was fine, but the next day felt there was like, a lot of like, I had knee pain, my hand was swollen. And working with Veronica, with the NAET, I realized that there was a blocked emotion that was trapped, that was not letting me move forward, correct? So sometimes we don't know what we don't know. Correct, having an expert on your team, right that believes in holistic medicine, that believes in western and eastern medicine, can support you in living your best life. That is true, and the only thing is, with emotion, it could be conscious or it could be subconscious, yes, yeah, because our conscious, what we know, which is 2% of our behavior patterns, everything else is 98% correct.

So I was wondering, with that subconscious emotion, can NLP, or neuro linguistic programming can help with that. So what the app actually? Because the neuro linguistic programming plays with the unconscious mind, which is everything below the tip of the iceberg. Whenever you see an iceberg, we just see a top 20% of the mass, 80% of that iceberg is beneath the water, and that is our unconscious mind. So Neuro Linguistic Programming helps you understand that model of that world based on that what's beneath that iceberg? What's the behavior pattern when we wake up at a certain hour. What is the behavior pattern when we go to bed at a certain hour? You know, we do the aimlessly scrolling on Facebook or social media, you know, Instagram or Tiktok, Mindlessly scrolling. What is that doing to us? So NLP determines and helps you support that foundation of, why am I doing what I'm doing? It makes you the leader of your life. You are at cause of the event that's happening. The global pandemic happened to every single human that was around at that time. We could blame the pandemic. Because of the pandemic, I didn't make any money because the pandemic. I lost my job because of the pandemic, I lost and I gained weight because of the pandemic, I lost the weight. Right words to say, You know what? Thank goodness for the pandemic, because I got to spend time with my family. I got to figure out where I was wasting my money. I got to restructure my life based on healthy habits. I got to realize who my real friends were. I got to realize that I got to separate from materialistic things and go inward. Yes, right? Practice into yoga and like, self fulfillment, self awareness, right? So you could play both sides of the coin. You could play the survivor side and hallelujah, this happened, and I'm stronger. Or you could play the poor me, sad me, I'm so miserable. Nobody loves me. Nobody cares about me. Life is just doom and gloom.

So you're always at the cause of the situation. And having that awareness comes from stepping into the consciousness and stepping releasing it from the unconscious way. And there are different tools that you can use. One of my favorite tools is called timeline therapy, the root cause of the scenario, one single emotion, one single event that happened the first time in your life. And Veronica, your life didn't just begin at the time that you were born, your life began when your mom and dad conceived you. That's true. Your life began from the ancestors of your family. So you could release something 15 generations ago, release something 20 generations ago, depending upon how deep rooted that issue is. But you keep going back in time, and your unconscious mind doesn't know time. Our unconscious mind doesn't know what time looks like. Our conscious mind does, because it knows on XYZ date was the time that I was born in the city that I was born, but our unconscious mind was like, Dude, I was conceived way before, nine months ago, right? I was conceived way back when, right? So it doesn't know when it first happened, it could even pick up something that is unspoken, non verbal communication happened with our unconscious mind. And I agree with you, because when managing the allergies, positivity is one of the top lists there. Yes, really helps, since the body respond to the mind.

So if you got a positive mindset that can reflect on your body, right and at the same time, when you're feeling down or you're feeling low or you feel like you're squeezing all the time, it's your sign of saying that your body is healing. Your body is healing. It's just a disease, not a disease, but dis ease is the lack of having easiness and flow in your life. It's just addressing the discomfort that's been happening in your body. It's allowing you to slow down. A lot of people, when they travel, they come back with the cold because leading up to their travel, they were running around like a crazy chicken with the head cut off, right? They got to do this. They got to do this. They got to do this. They got to do and they're like, constantly running, running, running, and they can't sleep at night. They're not getting the eight

hours of sleep that they need, the REM sleep, right? The Ram sleep, they're not being that deep sleep that they need. And so they're constantly awake. And then you're offering with all the demands that life has for you that day, and you're constantly struggling, correct? But you're trying to keep up with the Joneses, just with yourself, keeping up with the demand based on yourself and so NLP, help with just slowing down. Nice, having an allergy slow you down on purpose.

That's good, because other than the sleep that you mentioned, other healthy lifestyle practices can include hydration, like drinking enough water at least 50%

of your weight. So if I weigh 100 pounds, I should be drinking 50 ounces of water or more, if I'm exercising, or if the weather here is hot, another one is exercise right to improve the blood circulation and to nourish the cells, and also like sleep mentioned, because that's the time when the body is healing, and the eating habits, you know, eating fresh, organic foods and also enjoy while you're eating.

yes, and you brought up a good point, because sometimes with NLP, neuro linguistic program, we realize that we say, oh my God, I can't wait for ice cream, and then you indulge in the ice cream, and then you're like, oh, man, I should not eat in the ice cream. I just weigh five extra pounds. Or sometimes what we say is, man, this ice cream is so bad for him, but I eat it anyways. How you address the food in front of you? The emotion that you address the food is how it store in your body. So if you say, ice cream is really bad for me, and you indulge in that really bad ice cream, it's going to store on your body. Versus if you say, oh my god, ice cream is the most healthiest thing you ever had, it tastes like pale it's going to release the the negativity that the ice cream holds. So start paying attention to the words, right? Are you always eating ice cream? Are you eating ice cream? Sometimes? Do you never eat ice cream? Or do you eat ice cream? Sometimes? Right? We blanket the sentences that we have in our life. I'm always on time. I'm always late, you know? I'm never excited about anything. But is it really true? Because what happens when you're sleeping? What happens when you're not in front of that person? Right? So we make it into a reality by a blanket statement, yes, we pay one size fits all. And in reality, it doesn't correct, because how you do one thing is how you do everything, right, right?

So just going back to saying, okay, if I'm always drinking water, then if I'm out with my friends and never try having whiskey, am I always drinking water at that time? No, that's a false statement.

Yeah, it really does make a lot difference, like when your attention to what you're thinking your thoughts, right? Being mindful, exactly be mindful, correct? And so with the brain function like, for instance, you're eating ice cream and you're watching TV, right? And then suddenly there's there. What you're watching is so horrifying, like a bomb exploded in front of your face, and guess what? The brain will gonna relate the ice cream to the emotion that you suddenly feel while you're watching the TV. So that could be what fear, that will be panic, that will be anger, sadness. So the next time you eat the ice cream, guess what? You're gonna be sensitive to the ice cream, exactly.

So just having awareness of like when you're eating something, how are you feeling? Because the food is something that your body needs. It keeps the body going. It keeps the body energized. Right? When you don't put food in your system, you're feeling lethargic, lethargy. You're feeling like you're depleted. You can't function because your brain fog, right? So you the body needs certain nutrients every single day. So as you're putting that next bite of whatever you're having, enjoy it and be grateful for the amount of work energy, time that it took to make this delicious item, because when you're in a state of gratitude, nothing gets stored in your body. It just releases out. But if you hold it with, oh no, I'm so frustrated I gotta eat this thing, you're gonna hold on to it so you don't even enjoy what's given to you. That's correct.

So smile the next time you have that next bite of whatever, that's correct. You know, enjoying it smiling, smiling will generate a lot of happy hormones, and after is the best medicine. So being mindful, and that's also another way to manage stress by smiling and by laughing, right? Yes, absolutely. A yoga hold laughter, yoga where we just laugh and laugh for nothing. And you know at the end, it really felt good. You're laughing with intention. You're feeling angry. You laugh for intention. My intention is to smile, because you can't get mad, you're just gonna

start laughing. So the emotion that's bottled up auto send just releases and just vanishes.

Because Healthy People have a positive mindset. Successful people have a positive mindset. Unsuccessful people are down and drowning. So the choice is yours, how you want to be. The choice is yours, every single morning, every single night, when you start your day, when you end your day, how you want to be correct. So that is how we unlock our superpower, one step at a time, right? And you manage your your own destiny.

You know the power is in your choice, right? You are in power. You have the choice. You are at cause, and you are the leader of your life, correct? You brought up a very powerful insight.
