Allergy Ellimination

[Robin Cupp L.A.C.]

Allergy Elimination is a remarkable and relatively new discovery in the field of acupuncture. Dr Devi Nambudripad discovered the effect in the 1980's while working with her own food allergies. She and other doctors have experimented and expanded upon this rapidly growing technique. Very few modern discoveries could surpass it in scope or ability to deal with so many of the common problems that face us today such as food or environmental allergies, chronic infections, and auto-immune diseases.


"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 allergy changed our lives forever."

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. 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 mucousal 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. At other times allergies are acquired when a person goes through an emotionally stressful time or sudden emotional trauma. Virtually any substance may become an allergen

Allergy Elimination or Allergy Deprogramming is an acu-stimulation treatment that provides permanent relief from an allergic reaction. Â In its simplest form allergy elimination consists of stimulating classical acupuncture points on the body while the patient holds the allergen in their hand. The word acu-stimulation is used here because it is not necessary to use acupuncture needles to stimulate the classical acu-points of the body for allergy elimination to work. The practitioner uses muscle testing or Applied Kinesiology (AK) to determine what the patient is allergic to and whether or not the patient has successfully cleared for a particular allergen. The technique is permanent in most cases meaning that the allergen will remain cleared after treatment. 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. Â In the hands of a skilled practitioner an allergen can be cleared successfully >95% of the time the clearings are tried. For severe allergic reactions several clearings may be necessary to completely eliminate all reactivity.

Another aspect of Allergy Elimination is that the patient needs to avoid the allergen after the clearing for up to 25 hours. This gives the body a chance to assimilate the deprogramming successfully. Some allergies can be difficult to avoid still many of these allergies are successfully cleared.

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is one of several feedback systems that may be used to determine what kind of allergies a patient has and their relative severity. Essentially AK can provide all sorts of information about the body and the body can deliver the answers to many health related questions provided the practitioner knows what questions to ask. AK is not without its limitations and errors but at least one study showed a 96% agreement with the standard prick test for determining allergies.

My Experience with Allergies

When I was a child I had a chronic cough that seemed to get worse when I ran around the yard and played. My mother took me to an allergy specialist. I was given the prick test on my back and they presented my mother with a list of my allergies. My allergies included a number of weeds, some flowers and tree pollens. No mention was made of food allergies. For two years my mother and I would make weekly trips to the allergists office for my one in each arm injections. As an adult I still had my allergies and even had a life threatening asthma attack on one occasion because of an overexposure to a common weed. Of what use were all those shots for? I asked myself.

As an adult a chiropractor demonstrated muscle testing to me for allergies and determined that I was very allergic to all dairy products. This was interesting because as a child I really craved milk, sometimes drinking two gallons in one week. I tried to limit my dairy consumption but it was difficult especially because I love cheese. I began to wonder if the milk was actually more responsible for the cough that plagued my outdoor running and playing time?

As I graduated from my first acupuncture school, Ruseto College, I began hearing about a newly discovered method of eliminating allergies with an acupuncture treatment. Now to me this is a superior treatment. Â My Chinese Master emphasized getting to the root of problem, but the Chinese themselves historically only treat the symptoms in case of allergic reactions. I first began experimenting with the method as friends showed me how to do clearings. Finally, I went off to Los Angeles to train with Dr. Devi Nambudripad. I began treating clients but it took a long time before I was confident with it.

After treating patients for more than a year I realized that I was only about 60% effective. This really bothered me because I do not like to take someone's money if I cannot provide good value. I had begun to wonder if emotions played a role and if emotional difficulties could be cleared like an allergen. Finally someone introduced me to the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which fulfilled the mission of clearing emotional imprints from the past. I literally tried this technique for weeks on myself before trying it on someone else. I had a friend that complained that she could only make right turns in a car because she had been in an accident while turning left. After two rounds of tapping with EFT she could indeed make left turns again. I began to apply EFT to Allergy Clearings when AK indicated it was necessary. I also learned to muscle test and eliminate Global Emotional blockages to healing. These two techniques vastly improved my clearing effectiveness to the 95% range.
