One of the scariest things you can experience is the unexpectedattack of an anaphylactic reaction.This can be a trulylife-threatening crisis and emergency attention is oftennecessary.

If you have a severe allergy to certain foods or medications,insect stings, or latex, you may have felt the effects ofanaphylaxis.Tiny amounts of the offending substance can be lifethreatening... even the smell of peanuts can incite a reactionif you are sensitive to them.

If you have severe allergies you know that, within minutes ofcoming into contact with an allergic substance, your whole bodycan get involved with the reaction.

You may feel tingling and a metallic taste in your mouth.You mayexperience difficulty breathing with asthma-like symptoms, heartpalpitations and a sudden drop in blood pressure. You might gethives, itching, nausea or diarrhea.

In the worst-case scenario, you might go into shock, or cardiacarrest, or stop breathing due to an obstruction in yourairway.What do you do if this happens and you don't have accessto proper medical treatment? EFT is an essential healing toolthat you can have with you at all times.

Anaphylactic reactions are often immediate, developing inseconds or minutes.Most people with such reactions carryemergency allergy kits to use while awaiting medical assistanceor traveling to the emergency room.

But you can be caught unprepared for such a reaction... even ifyou are normally very careful to avoid offending toxins.Nomatter what precautions you take you can still be exposedunknowingly to a life-threatening allergen.

In such situations, many people have used Emotional FreedomTechniques (EFT) and successfully halted anaphylacticreactions... often in just seconds.

Any kind of allergic reaction can take just moments to disruptyour whole body-- including your subtle energy system. EFT is amodern form of acupuncture that quickly balances your energymeridians... when your meridians are successfully attuned, yourbody can return to normal.

For some who have used EFT to halt such a reaction, it is as ifthe attack never happened and they return to their usualroutine... without the use of injected adrenaline,hospitalization or being hooked up to a ventilator. Anaphylacticreactions are amplified allergic responses.EFT also getssimilar impressive results with milder allergic reactions todust, dogs, cats and the like.

EFT does not claim to replace emergency medical treatment and inthe case of anaphylaxis, it is certainly recommended that youfollow the appropriate medical precautions.

However, many reports have come from EFT users who witnessedanaphylactic incidents and offered EFT while waiting for theambulance or medical treatment.In these cases (one of which youcan read below), severe anaphylaxis was averted and in somecases, completely eliminated.

To do EFT, you simply stimulate your acupuncture meridians withyour fingertips instead of using needles.The basics of EFT canbe learned by anyone

and can be self-applied (usually inminutes).

It is a simple technique that is literally at your fingertips inemergency situations.It takes just moments to apply and hasconsistently been shown to offer immediate relief in emergenciesin more than 80 percentof cases.But in no way is it suggestedthat EFT be the only method used in these situations.Dinnerparty guest has anaphylactic reaction that is quickly haltedwith EFT.You can read the entire case on the EFT Web site.

Pamela was attending an elegant dinner party when one of theguests had a sudden and severe reaction from unknowingly eatingcrab-stuffed ravioli.The guest had a severe shellfishallergy.His face and throat began to swell almost immediatelyand the host promptly called 911.

Pamela quickly took the guest into another room, and whilewaiting for the emergency team to arrive, she did EFT on theman.In her words, "Before her eyes, the swelling in his face andneck began to go down and in just a few minutes he was returnedto normal.He rejoined the dinner party and the 911 call wascancelled as all of his symptoms completely vanished."EFT isan important life-saving tool to have at your fingertips.

This was accomplished with about 10 minutes of EFT.His recoverywas so impressive that the gentleman erroneously reasoned thathe hadn't eaten enough of the shellfish to get a real reaction.

This often happens when someone has experienced a surprisingshift as a result of EFT.It is also a testimony to the power ofthe procedure.His striking recovery just didn't fit into hisbelief system and so he needed to "explain it away."

In his previous experience, he needed medical care, injecteddrugs, even hospitalization to avoid anaphylaxis or death.Thegentleman just didn't think that it was possible that he avoidedanaphylactic shock, so he tried to explain it away by saying hedidn't have enough of the crab.

Then he smiled at Pamela and said, "Nah, it was thetapping!"More on EFT
