Allergies

Neurofeedback / EEG Biofeedback is not a treatment for allergies. However, Neurofeedback training can result in reduced reactivity to the triggers of an allergic response, and suffering may be reduced. Some of the improvement seen in ADHD children is no doubt attributable to the fact that they are less susceptible to allergic reactions after the Neurofeedback training. The effect is not so large that people with allergies should seek out Neurofeedback specifically as a remedy. Rather, if someone is training for another purpose, reduction in allergic susceptibility may well be a fringe benefit.

Case Report:
The following report came from a Neurofeedback professional:
"Something unexpected and wonderful has happened since training myself with EEG feedback. My lifelong severe allergies have nearly disappeared!

I am the guy that was jokingly referred to by the staff at the allergist office as "Mister Allergy" when I went for testing some years ago. Out of the forty substances I was tested for, I was severely allergic to all but four. The allergist recommended that I not go outdoors any more, it was so bad.

But thanks to Neurofeedback I have sneezed only four or five times this season. And this while those around me have had the worst allergy problems in years! This was an unexpected effect of training because I thought that allergies were one of the things that Neurofeedback didn't usually help. I can think of nothing else to attribute my improvement to."
