2. Medication: There are many medications on the
market that counteract the allergic response. Just
as with restriction, this method doesn’t address
the underlying cause of allergies; it simply treats
the symptoms. For milder allergies, antihistamines
like Benadryl, Clarinex, Atarax, Allegra, and so on
offer a good option. These target the histamines
being released by the white blood cells. Keep in
mind that antihistamines are only recommended
for people under the age of 70 because they can lead
to problems with memory and urination in older
people. In addition to antihistamines, there are
medicines, including Singulair and Accolate, that
target leukotriene production. Oral, topical, and
inhaled steroids are the mainstay for the most severe
allergy cases. While the other medications work
against inflammation by preventing the production
of histamines and leukotrienes, steroids take more
drastic action, blocking both the body’s release
and acceptance of these chemicals. Because of the
drastic effects of steroids, you cannot stay on them
forever without experiencing severe long-term side
effects, including osteoporosis, ulcers, and immune
suppression. This is likely why Larry came down with
EBV and mono—his immune system had become
compromised.

allergic to in an attempt to train your white blood
cells to tolerate the allergen. The shots are given in an
arm once or twice a week for several months. These
treatments are recommended for people with severe
allergies, or for those who have symptoms for more
than three months per year.
Since Larry had been taking steroids for years, the first thing
we did was to gradually taper off his usage. We also had him work
with an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist to strengthen his
immune system’s ability to fight viruses and at the same time be
calm enough to tolerate his environment. One herb among many
that was recommended to him is called Wu Cha Seng, and it is
said to improve white blood cell function, especially after pro-
longed chemotherapy treatment. In addition, Larry worked with
a nutritionist to make sure he had a good, balanced diet full of
dark, leafy vegetables. We also recommended that he take a good
pharmaceutical-grade vitamin supplement that contained vita-
min C, magnesium, zinc, and B complex. He also started taking
astragalus, DHA, turmeric, and ginger because these supplements
have been known to ease the symptoms of EBV.
Along with the treatments Larry’s medical team helped lay
out, he also began to work with affirmations for fever (I am the cool,
calm expression of peace and love); mono (I love and appreciate
and take care of myself. I am enough); EBV (I relax and recognize
my self-worth. I am good enough. Life is easy and joyful); and
muscle aches (I experience life as a joyous dance). These helped
him change the negative thoughts that kept him locked in ill-
ness. He also worked hard to put himself in situations where he
was forced to interact with other people. This healing package of
medicine, behavioral changes, and affirmations worked together
to put Larry’s health back on the right track.

Skin Problems
Do you have skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema, hives,
or acne? If the answer is yes, you may want to focus on your rela-
tionship with the concept of feeling safe and secure in the world.
While people with skin problems often have a seemingly put-to-
gether life, it is managed with extreme control. These folks are rock
solid and dependable . . . as long as nothing changes. Their lives
focus on routine, routine, routine because routine is safe and fa-
miliar. But real life isn’t always safe and predictable, and this is
where these people start
