Allergies: an inmmunological tantrum

By: Dr. Gabriel Óscar Bertona
"The Symptom and its Function", December 2011

What are allergies?

Specialists refer there are several reasons that favor the increase of allergic diseases in our time, first the urbanization and environmental pollution, changes in pollination (global warming), the largest number of cesareans and colonization ( by normal bacterial flora) conditioning the inmune response, the absence or reduced breastfeeding (ideally exclusively until 6 months to one and a half year) Also affecting the amount of antibodies, and / or early weaning (the passage of food based on milk solids) before 6 months, increasing the passage of allergens (substances that cause an exaggerated response of the immune system).

All this should make us think about our society and what we build every day, and the importance of consciousness from conception and at every stage of the first year of life, which is so important for the maturation of the immune system.

Like all diseases, allergy reflects an aspect of personality, an attitude towards life, where we do not recognize, we deny ourselves, and get sick because of that, we restricte our freedom and creative expression in life. Reflects different degrees of intolerance, scandal, immunological and psychological tantrums, irritability, perfectionism, pride, denial of one's mistakes, and, as in other cases, the higher is the intensity of the resistance to change, the higher is the symptom intensity.

What heals allergies?

If the problem is things I perceive as terrible, that enervate me, I can not stand, unthinkable, me or others, and over time I become intolerant and arrogant then, the kit against allergies must contain acceptance, openness, toleration, respect to diversity, noting the contributions of all to unity, humility, compassion, soften, permission to err , warn mistakes as sacred evolutionary possibilities, stop competing or perceiving myself as superior from the others, stop pretending "to change" the world and instead take care of improving myself, get out of the solitude of " my truth " and open up to the diversity of particular truths, etc.

Let's not resign ourselves to be "allergic", as this can be fraught with stigma and grave. Allergy is an attitude and, as everything in life, is susceptible to change and a process of transformation as profound as we encourage and commit with ourselves.

Listening to color

Artist Neil Harbisson was born completely color blind, but these days a device attached to his head turns color into audible frequencies. Instead of seeing a world in grayscale, Harbisson can hear a symphony of color -- and yes, even listen to faces and paintings.

He is the first cyborg in the world recognized by a goverment.

Enviromental awarness

By: Tania Kleinfeld

(Creaciones Orgánicas)

Our planet is a living organism and we are part of it. If we pollute, we pollute ourselves. If we take care of it, we take care of ourselves. If it's cycle changes, we change with it ... We need to stop thinking and acting like a if it was an object from which only material goods are extracted, we must learn to feel as he feels, and thus recognize the life and consciousness that inhabits it.

As simple as it may seem, considering the planet as a living being, has profound consequences for us, it could transform habits of thought and behavior deeply rooted and, therefore, a new relationship between man and the environment, that, it should be emphasized, are not two separate beings, is one.

Currently, it is common for individuals to be unfamiliar with environmental problems and not be clear of how to participate in their community to help protect the environment. To change this reality, it's necessry to create environmental awareness through education, training and capacity in environmental values. Environmental education is fundamental for the evolution of mankind. Only through it, citizens will take responsibility for their contribution to the processes of environmental degradation and make a clear commitment to the protection and conscious forms, conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.

This should be a change from the root, not only from the surface. Do not just read about it, nor plan and dream that someday we will live in harmony with the environment. It's time to act, and for actting we must raise awareness. Education strengthens the independence and autonomy of people and allows making informed and responsible decisions. The goal of environmental culture is to improve relations between man and nature and men together. It aims to make people aware of the global environment and have the knowledge, attitudes, motivations and desires to work individually and collectively in the search for solutions to current problems, to reorient their values ​​and to the forceful transformation of reality.

Creaciones Orgánicas is a service to the community, which informs and educates through videos, images, and texts that provide a clearer picture of what is going on in the environmental world view.

We live immersed in a world of sound and vibrations.

The sound, through the centuries, has become music throughout the land, with the understanding and knowledge of healing with sound in Oriental, nomadic and indigenous West cultures.

Whoever knows the mystery of sound, may know the mystery of the universe and have access to the music of the spheres. (Hazrat Inayat Khan)

Healing is posible to every human being, is in each of us. There's vibration in everything around us.The sound will affect us for good or evil according to the law of resonance: where the strongest vibration will make the weakest one vibrate until both are in the same frequency.

Depression, sadness and disease are low vibrating and inconsistent frequencies. Joy, love and health are high vibrating and steady frequencies.

Man's nature is to look for where he belongs. Until you find that place, you will not be in the peace that you yearn for. The way that man can find his own place is by intonating his instrument (himself) to the key of the chord to which it belongs. (Hazrat Inayat Khan)

It is necessary to make a study of ourselves to find who we really are, beyond our education, family or socioeconomic status.

Sound is a very helpful tool, because once we've calmed the incessant activity of the mind, which does not allow us to hear the voice of our being, the right hemisphere begins to function with greater emphasis, which helps important subconscious information to be manifested in a conscious way on the left hemisphere, causing both hemispheres work at the same time to heal past situations (both emotional, mental and sentimental ),entering the spiritual realm.

Shamanic traditions, Buddhist chants, Mongols, etc. what they do is going straight to the right brain through repetitive sounds and songs that don't have an articulated common language, to access the deeper layers of the subconscious.

This is just one of the many areas in which sound can help us heal.

Reflexion

"Why is industry doing nothing about processed foods (which are very harmful), why is the government allowing it? I really do not know, I have no answer and I don't need to have one, because all I know is that my health is my responsibility. My family's health is my responsibility as parent and, therefore, I can not give the responsibility for my health and my family's to the government, or industry, or anyone in particular. But right now there's a lot of information, there are many pages, there's internet, we have access to everything. All we have to do is use reliable sources and studies and, mainly, to try it; do not believe me, do not believe anyone else; you have to try it, try having new habits and realize if they make you feel better or not."
