Shea is 14 and Was Lactose Intolerant

Shea is actually his real name as he is my son. 

For most of his life, Shea had difficulty processing dairy products. It didn’t matter if it was milk, ice cream or yogurt, if it had dairy in it he presented with discomfort, bloating and other gastrointestinal issues (if you know what I mean) after he consumed some. Like most teenagers, he loves milk and (who doesn’t love?) ice cream. The original solution was to buy a certain brand of lactose-free dairy products that were twice as expensive as regular dairy and, not always, readily available. He drank 2 litres of milk a day and that can add up.

One day, after buying yet another round of lactose-free milk, I asked him if he would consider “Tapping” on this allergy. I told him about a client who worked in an ice cream shop who used to be lactose intolerant and was able to tolerate ice cream after just one round of EFT. I didn’t promise him it would work for him just suggested we give it a try and see what happens. He agreed and I began asking him the normal questions I would ask anyone who presents with an issue.

  • How long have you had this problem?
  • If there was an emotion connected with being lactose intolerant what might that be? 
  • How do you feel about being lactose intolerant? and a few others

Ok, have you ever asked a teenager how they “feel” about anything? He grunted a few “I don’t knows” and I was left wondering how I was going to help him.

The good news is we can talk to our body as if it is another person. We can engage our cells, tissue, brain chemistry and all our parts as if they are entities within themselves. We can ask the body to harmonize, recognize the properties of dairy (in this case), accept them and remain physically balanced within the body. We can ask the body to love dairy (or whatever you are allergic to) as it is and receive it with balance and harmony accepting the nutritional values and dumping any unwanted properties of the substance in our waste stream.

It was a simple “Tapping” round: “Even though I am allergic to dairy products I love and accept myself anyway”. “Even though I have allergies they are not who I am and I choose to release them”. “Even though I believe I am intolerant of lactose I choose to change that belief and allow lactose to be lovingly processed through my body” etc, etc. There were no emotional appeals, no acknowledgment of any fear or frustration the whole thing only took about 20 minutes.

That was in June of 2018 and as I write this on September 9 he has been drinking milk and eating ice cream as if he never had the problem in the first place. 

I am so grateful for the powerful simplicity of EFT and my bank account is grateful also. Next, we will work on his dog allergy which we have worked on in the past with marginal success. Sometimes we have complete and rapid success like with the dairy issue and other times more digging is required. Either way, it is worth a few minutes of your time to see what comes up as you ask yourself the questions as to why you may have an allergy or some other physical issue.

PS: The woman who worked in the ice cream shop loved he new job but complained that she was gaining weight due to eating too much ice cream.
