ABOUT ALLERGIES

 What is an Allergy?

• To Western medical practitioners, an allergy is an over-reaction by the immune system.
• To BIO-FREE/Oriental medicine practitioners, an allergy is an unusual sensitivity to one or more substances – or allergens -- that may be harmless to most other individuals.

 What is an Allergen?

To BIO-FREE practitioners, an allergen is a substance the body views as a threat or energy disturbance to the body. The brain reacts by blocking one or more of the body’s energy meridians, which weakens the body energetic system.

 Who has Allergies?

• At least one person you know has allergies, mild or severe
• You or someone you know is sensitive to at least one substance, seemingly generally harmless to everyone else
• Allergies are generally difficult to diagnose, and – until now – rarely cured or eliminated
• But that was before BIO-FREE

 What are the different types of allergens?

• INHALANTS - what is breathed in (dust, pollen, chemical odors)
• CONTACTANTS - what touches your skin, hair or mucous membranes (examples: soap, shampoo, chemicals, fabrics) • INGESTANTS - what you eat or drink (foods, beverages, vitamins, drugs)
• INJECTANTS - substances injected into you (anything given by hypodermic needles, such as drugs, blood, vaccines, antibiotics; also - insect bites or stings)
• MOLDS AND FUNGI - yeast-like agents causing reactions by contact, but usually by inhalation (yeasts, molds, rusts, mildews)
• PHYSICAL AGENTS - substances with physical properties and effects (heat, cold, wind, light, radiation, electricity, people and places

ABOUT NUTRITION

 What role plays detoxification in my allergy treatment?

If you treat and eliminate your bodies reaction to unhealthy substances without detoxifying and without eliminating the causes, your body may develop long-term disturbances and intoxications. This can lead to asthma, chronic fatigue or cancer. Important is that the allergy treatment does not eliminate the cause or the toxin. The most effective way is to eliminate the causes and starting detoxifying already during the allergy treatments.

 How long do I have to detoxify?

We recommend in our programs at least 4 months. We have a nutritional program that helps you to plan your meals and have a healthy delicious diet whilst detoxifying, so there is no need to sacrifice your food enjoyment.
The detoxification process is as important as the allergy treatment. It can take several months or in special cases years to free the body system of unhealthy substances. We recommend to detox as long we measure reasonable energy disturbances in your bioenergetic system.

 How do I Detox?

As long as we are healthy we are detoxifying every minute of your life, when breathing, drinking, sweating and other body functions. As soon as we are exposed to an unhealthy amount of toxins over a long period, our body is starting to store the substances. The goal of a detoxification process is to get rid of all our stored substances. The most effective way to do this is a combination of certain foods, drinks, exercises, Detox kits and BIO-FREE detox treatments.
If the detoxifying process is not done properly through following ALL the recommendations in the BFASS program, your health state may not significantly improve.

 Are there substances, that despite treatment, you may not be able to eat permanently eg gluten, dairy?

Only if you are genetically predisposed to coeliac disease or lactose intolerance.

If you are coeliac your body cannot enzimatically digest gluten (the protein in wheat, barley and rye, and sometimes also oats). It means that you are geneticaly predisposed to coeliac disease. CD can manifest at any age, after a high stress period, if exposed to environmental or food toxins, or after an infection. Coeliac disease exists amongst 3% of the population, as a general rule. Many are undiagnosed.

If you are coeliac, the lining of your small intestine may have lost its ability to absorb nutrients, and be permanently irritated. In order for the lining to recover, you have to avoid gluten altogether.

If you are not coeliac, but have suffered bowel problems and indigestion due to food allergies for a long time, it is likely that your intestines need also to recover, and that can take between 8 to 18 months of a gluten free diet, and after that you can start reintroducing gluten foods very, very slowly. This is only true for non coeliac people. How do you know if you are coeliac or not?. There is a group of tests that measure it, called Celiac Blood Panel. Ask your GP to be tested. Your naturopath may also have a test for CD. For more information please read the article here (link to article at bottom) that explains very well celiac disease (CD).

In the case of lactose intolerance, the lactase enzyme that digest sugar milk (lactose) is not present due to genetic predisposition again. The enzyme lactase is produced when we are babies, to be able to digest our mother’s milk. When we start eating other foods, the production of lactase diminishes until it dissapears completely, between 2 and 5 years of age. This is a normal process. Genetic predisposition to lactose intolerance varies amongst human population. Adult Northern Europeans present up to 15% of lactose intolerants. Amongst Asian population, it can be up to 70% of the population.

In the case that you are lactose intolerant, or have had many food allergies, the gut lining is again irritated and therefore digestion and nutrient absorption is impaired. Recommendations are the same than for coeliac disease. If it is genetic, avoid dairy products for life. If it is not, after a period of allergies, avoid dairy altogether for at least 6-8 months, to give time to your gut to recover.

 If I eat foods that I am sensitive to, does this jeopardize the ones I have been treated for?

After the treatment your immune system is stronger, therefore you can cope better with foods that you are intolerant to. But if you keep eating foods that you are intolerant to, like wheat to a coeliac person, or dairy if you are lactose intolerant, your immune system will be highly stressed and that may result in that you develop new allergies, frequent colds, etc.

 What do you mean by sugary or sweet foods? Is honey okay but sugar not? Should I avoid sugar altogether or can I have a small amount?

If you have Candida, you have had thrush previously, you have yeast allergy or in general bowel fermentation problems, the best would be that you minimize for the first month the simple sugars (concentrated sugars) that you eat, that is, all sugars that are not in fruits or veggies. That means refined sugars, molasses, honey, powdered fructose, and any other sugar powder or liquid. These sugar feeds fermenting bacteria in your bowels that are producing the bloating and indigestion. If you need a sweetener, have Stevia, a plant based sweetener that doesn't produce fermentation. It can be used also for baking. It can be bought in health food shops.
In case of Candida (recurrent thrush is a symptom of Candida infestation), avoid most sweet fruits, or fruits altogether. And a tiny amount is sugar anyway. It will promote the growth of the fermenting bacteria or yeast.

 What do you mean by sweet fruits?

Sweet fruits are Figs, banana, dates, persimmon, dried fruits (including dried apricots), grapes, melon, watermelon. Avoid these.

Subacid fruits are apples, berries, pears, apricot (fresh), peach, plums, cherry, mango, papaya. Eat these in small quantities.

Acid fruits: lemon, lime, oranges (in case of candida and allergies, better avoid), tomatoes, strawberry, pineapple, pomegranate, kiwi, passionfruit. No problem to eat (except for oranges).

Oily fruits: avocado, olives. No problem, eat at least 1/2 avocado per day.

You need to be the judge of which fruits you can eat, according to your feelings of wellbeing. Let your body tell you what you can eat and what you cannot. Again, if Candida is present, avoid all sweets. Sometimes even carrot juice or beetroot juice is too much.

 What types of meat can I eat?

Regarding the meat, you can eat most types, preferably oily fish. If you are being treated for amino acids (proteins) and for organs and eggs, you can have them all in moderation after the first 15 days of total avoidance. Best of all are oily fish (sardines, mackerel, fresh salmon), they have omega 3 fats which are good to rebuild cell membranes, which you need to rebuild your intestines cells.

 What about nuts?

It is better to eat during the cleansing period more seeds (pumpkin, sunflower) than nuts. You can have small quantities of nuts, and always better soaked overnight, to deactivate any inhibitory enzymes present. This is also true for seeds.

 What types of grain can I eat?

Rice, quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat are better options. Gluten grains will flatten your intestinal cells again, so better avoided, even better would be for 6 to 8 months to give time to your intestines to recover. With the treatment we suport the recovery of your immune system, but your intestinal wall cells are very irritated by years of reacting to these foods, so they need time to recover and rebuild. With that purpose the best is to avoid wheat/gluten and dairy products for 6-18 months, and then start reintroducing slowly. Please read the nutritional recommendations for the allergy elimination program and for maximum effect, follow it strictly.

 What about cheese?

Concerning cheese, if you were tested allergic to casein (dairy protein) it is better to avoid cheese and all other dairy.

In case you eat cheese, better hard matured organic cheeses made with non homogenized milk, or at least organic goat's hard cheeses.

 When you do the distance healing, is that to desensitise me to some things and then I can eat those things?

Yes, your body will recognise them again as foods and not as allergens.

ABOUT BIOFAST

 What is the BioFAST Allergy Free Programme?

The BioFAST Allergy Free Programme was designed by a holistic medical doctor and naturopath with years of clinical research and experience behind them to provide fast and in most cases, permanent solutions for an allergy free existence. Based on key principles of Quantum Physics, Bioresonance, Homeopathy, Naturopathy and Nutrition, this comprehensive program integrates the best of natural healing modalities to produce the best, long lasting results for overcoming allergy. You can quickly clear your allergies, intolerances, sensitivities and toxicity, and regain energy, health and vitality.

The BioFAST programme involves extensive assessment, diagnosis, and rebalancing your immune system. An out-of-balance immune system is behind all allergies and many other health problems, and it can cause you to react negatively to almost anything: foods and food additives, environmental substances, electromagnetic radiations, insects and other animals, natural substances, chemicals (household chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, drugs, solvents, plastics, etc), and so on.

By rebalancing your immune system and life force, BioFAST restores your body's natural, healthful immunoreactions, so you can live a life of health, joy and wellbeing.

 How do you diagnose my allergies?

First, we ask you about your health history, as you can provide some useful insights into the onset and nature of your allergies. Then we test for the allergies, and also for the underlying causes of allergy or sensitivity. Allergies can be diagnosed in a number of ways. As a diagnostic tool to identify food, environmental and chemical allergy triggers, we use a computerized electrodermal screening device called the Orion Explorer, which measures electrical conductance at specific acupuncture points. We also employ Applied Kinesiology or Muscle Testing as a testing tool to identify reactive substances, and also train clients in this method so they can identify allergy triggers in their environment. Energy Field Assessment (EFA) with a biotensor device allows for highly accurate testing, and may also be used. More conventional tests such as the skin prick test and blood tests may be performed if necessary, though in most cases, they are not required.

We also test to uncover causes of underlying allergies or sensitivities, screening for toxicity, liver and digestive tract malformation, parasitic and bacterial infections, enzyme and nutritional deficiencies, heavy metal toxicity and hormonal imbalances caused by stress.

 What does the process involve?

There are three ways that you can be treated for allergies and sensitivities:
Concerning allergy desensitisation and immune system balancing, you can choose amongst our three treatment options to overcome your allergies with the BioFAST Bioactive Fast Allergy Solution Therapy:

A. Presential treatments:
We are very happy to treat you at our wellbeing centres in Ashgrove (Brisbane) or Ashmore (Gold Coast). In this case treatments are performed at our premises and allergies are treated one by one with the NAET technique. Every session lasts between 15 to 30 minutes. You will need to book appointments with Jolene calling Monday and Tuesday from 8.30 to 3.30 and Wednesday to Friday from 8.30 to 4.30 to Ph 07-55621501. The cost for individual allergies is $75 per allergy.
You can also book for several sessions at once, and if you pay in advance for more than 10 allergies you can benefit from 10% discount.
To support your treatment and recovery you will need to do alongside the allergy treatment the other 3 elements of the BioFAST system mentioned before (remedies not included in price per allergy).

B. Quick-and-easy program.
In case you are very busy, with limited time, you can enjoy the benefits of our treatments done in groups of 6 allergies each time. Allergies are treated with the BioFAST Bioactive Fast Allergy Solution Therapy health plan and the treatments are performed in a few sessions at one of our clinics. This is by far the quickest method, and the most effective in terms of time invested in the treatment and recovery.
As in the presential treatments, you will also need to follow the elements of the BioFAST system between up to 4 months, sometimes longer, depending on your initial health conditions. This program allows big savings and includes many additional bonuses:
* Treated with Bioactive technologies, the most advanced and safe technologies to treat health conditions in the world.
* 2 months of our Newlife Energy Boosting treatment for free, valued $240.
* 3 homeopathic remedies and a booklet with nutritional guidelines included, valued $127
* 5 years GUARANTEE on the allergies treated valued at $500 (Conditions apply, see B-SAFE Consent form).

C. Distance program.
In case you live far from us or you are very busy, we have a program that will suit your needs. We schedule your visits so that you are treated for all your allergies in 3 to 8 visits to our centres, within 2 to 4 days, OR we can treat you by distance. This is by far the quickest method, and the most effective in terms of time invested in the treatment and recovery.
As in the above treatments, you will also need to follow the elements of the BioFAST system up to 4 months, sometimes longer, depending on your initial health conditions. In this case and you receive as bonuses the following:
* Treated with BioFAST, the most advanced quantum medicine technologies to treat health conditions in the world.
* 2 months of our Newlife Energy Boosting treatment for free, valued $240.
* 3 homeopathic remedies and a booklet with nutritional guidelines included, valued $127
* 5 years GUARANTEE on the allergies treated valued at $500 (Conditions apply, see SAFE consent form).

This is by far the most complete and effective allergy treatment package available for you in the market, and with many added benefits.

What do I have to do to start the Quick and Easy Program or the Distance Program? (options B or C)
Please send us the BioFAST treatment plan form and the Consent Form signed and dated by email, fax or post, and Jolene will call you back to schedule your appointments (if the treatment is not by distance) at the most convenient time for you.

Once you start the Distance program in the comfort of your home or travelling...
Once we receive the proposal and consent form acceptance, we will start treating you straight away. You will then receive the homeopathic remedies that you have to take and the nutritional recommendations to follow for the next 4 months. These are to be done FULLY in order to make sure the treatment is completed, long-lasting and deep.
We will also submit your hair sample to allergy healing frequencies, as a means to access your body frequency from our clinic. This will insure that your body starts correcting the immune system unbalanced frequencies. This treatment happens 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, while you are awake and while you sleep, and you don’t have to do anything, only follow the nutritional advice and take the remedies. We do the rest for you. It is very easy.

What happens at the end of the treatment?
Within 2-3 weeks of completing the BioFAST treatment, you will receive a letter describing the newest measurements regarding allergies, and you will be amazed at the difference! You will also feel much healthier and lighter.

OTHER QUESTIONS

 Can physical and emotional work be done at the same time?

Yes, definitely, and because they are intimately liked together, the results of treating both parts of the whole that is you will produce the best results. In no case allergy treatments may produce a worsening of an emotional issue. What may happen is that as your body becomes stronger, emotional issues start healing too.

 Your findings and my previous results from other therapists are not the same.

Allergies change with time, that may explain some of the differences. Also, chemical and biological testing has limitations due to the techniques or equipment used. That explain also differences amongst methodologies. And therapists have different knowledge.

 I know very little about what you can and cannot address. I asked about allergy treatment but are there other things you can address too such as hormonal balance?

Our distance BIO FREE allergy solution program (BFASS Program) includes 2 month energy balance treatment for free, which will help balance not only hormones, but also other health and emotional issues. Nonetheless, our recommendation for faster relief of hormonal and neurotransmitter imbalances is to do a specific balancing treatment.

 I do not have a clue what the machine is that you use where I hold the brass fittings. However after the last treatment at your Wellbeing Centre, I felt a whole change in my mental attitudes. The next day my feelings of overwhelm and anxiety had reduced remarkably. I was amazed. Please inform my what this machine is and whether I shall be having more treatments as part of an ongoing programme.

The Homeo Plus is a Life Energy generator, and we can produce vibrations that help balancing your personal energy imbalances, be it physical or emotional and that teach your body what is health again. What you experienced then was the correction of those vibrations at a mental level, that is paired at a physical level most probably with neurotransmitters balancing. That is why you felt much better.

We have two programs that you can subscribe to: 1) Life energy balancing program. You are suscribed to it for 2 months when you enrol in the allergy program. You are treated with a similar machine that the one you tested at the clinic, but with lower level of energy, so it is milder. After the two months you can choose to continue the treatment, please ask for a quote for the number of months that you want to be treated. There are annual programs available. 2) The strongest effect is obtained when you are treated at our Wellbeing Centres with the Homeo Plus. Those are the effects you noticed after your treatment. It may be advisable that you receive a number of treatments at our Centre and after those continue with distance treatments for some months, to strenghten the effect and make it long lasting.
