Abstract

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves evoking bright joyful events and situations with pathological organism response in patient memory. Their anchorage and then anchor crossing is carried out. A situation of allergic or bronchospasm response to one of irritant agents are selected as the pathological organism response situations. All irritants (allergens) and situations causing a pathological response, not inherent in human organism, in the patient are detected in advance. Then anchor crossing is carried out on every irritant (allergen) in every situation marked as those evoking pathological organism response in the patient.

EFFECT: simplified application method.

Description

The invention relates to medicine, more specifically to the direction of applied psychology, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), can be used to treat bronchial asthma and allergies.

"Asthma" in Greek means panting, asphyxiation. Breathing is one of the main functions of a living organism, which is based on the phenomenon of gas exchange. Without a constant supply of oxygen by the respiratory system, death is inevitable. Respiratory failure leads to serious changes in the whole mechanism of metabolism, causing serious irreversible changes.

Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract. In the presence of a predisposition, this inflammation causes repeated bouts of coughing, wheezing, there is a feeling of constriction in the chest, and breathing is difficult. Inflammation makes the respiratory tract sensitive to allergens: chemical irritants, tobacco smoke, cold air, physical exertion, and so on. When exposed to them, edema and spasm of the respiratory tract occur, they produce mucus in an increased amount and they become hypersensitive to external influences. The resulting bronchial obstruction is reversible. Both spontaneously and under the influence of treatment. When conducting traditional drug therapy, inflammation can decrease for an indefinite period of time (individually in each case).

Currently, over 400 million people, representing almost 10 percent of the world's population, suffer from bronchial asthma all over the planet (according to the World Health Organization). Prevalence is increasing, and especially rapidly among children, mainly in urban areas.

Bronchial asthma belongs to the group of severe progressive diseases that require constant use of medications.

The modern approach to the traditional treatment of bronchial asthma is phased in nature. The tactics for treating bronchial asthma are based on the severity of the clinical manifestations.

In the period of exacerbation of bronchial asthma, a comprehensive treatment is carried out, which includes the following groups of drugs:

1. Antibacterial drugs (if indicated).

2. Inhaled corticosteroids or corticosteroids orally in an individually selected dose.

3. Prolonged theophelins.

4. Inhaled beta ₂ -agonists of short action, it is possible to use inhaled anticholinergics.

5. Antihistamines.

6. Bronchus and mucolytics.

7. During the onset of remission, drugs that increase immunity are recommended.

In the treatment of bronchial asthma, physiotherapeutic methods of treatment are also widely used:

1. Medicinal electrophoresis.

2. Inhalation with bronchodilators.

3. UHF and microwave therapy.

4. Speleotherapy.

5. Massage the chest.

6. Acupuncture.

7. Laser therapy and so on.

Allergic diseases, regardless of bronchial asthma, are manifested by skin rashes (urticaria), swelling of the mucous membranes (Quincke's edema), allergic conjunctivitis, allergic rhinitis, and so on.

In different regions of the world, the prevalence of allergies is from 5% to 30% of the population.

In the treatment of allergic diseases, patients are prescribed:

1. Elimination of the allergen.

2. Diet therapy.

3. Antihistamines.

4. Enterosorbents (for food allergies).

5. local symptomatic treatment (ointments, chatters, and so on).

The disadvantages of the traditional method of treating bronchial asthma and allergies are the following factors:

1. In order to achieve stable remission, it is necessary to completely eliminate contact with the allergen, which is not always possible, for example house dust, various natural phenomena.

2. Addiction to drugs and a decrease in their therapeutic effect makes treatment difficult.

3. All of these groups of drugs have a lot of side effects on other organs and systems of the body, such as hormonal drugs. With their long-term use, especially orally, the phenomenon of candidiasis, ulcerogenic effect may occur, the production of adrenal hormones is blocked, which leads to hypocorticism.

4. A number of drugs have an arrhythmogenic effect - methylxanthines and beta ₂ -agonists of short action, so their use in the presence of concomitant cardiac pathology is contraindicated or severely limited.

5. With frequent and prolonged use of antibacterial drugs, the body's immune system is suppressed, the gastrointestinal tract is impaired, and, moreover, antibiotics often cause allergic reactions.

6. Physiotherapeutic treatment has a limitation in the appointment in patients with cardiac pathology, with severe respiratory failure, with individual intolerance and a number of other pathological conditions.

The above methods of treating bronchial asthma and allergies are effective, significantly improve the quality and life expectancy of the patient, but none of these methods cures the patient and in all cases it is possible to achieve a stable remission.

There are 3 known ways to cure allergies, which use the psychotechnology of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). They are developed by R. Dilts, T. Hallob, S. Smith. These techniques are published in the book Introduction to Modern NLP. Moscow, 2002, pp. 261-264, S.V. Kovalev.

1 WAY:

1. Calibrate the allergy. Ask yourself what it means to you to be in the presence of an allergen. Think about your allergen. Imagine the situation in which he is present. And don't be surprised if your immune system suddenly - in the absence of an allergen - gives an allergic reaction.

2. Explain to yourself the mistake of the immune system. Think about the fact that the immune system made a mistake in deciding that something is dangerous when in fact the most “something” is not. And if so, your immune system can retrain, quite quickly.

3. Check ecology / secondary benefits. What would your life be like without this allergy? Are there many positive and negative consequences in it? Use at this stage any NLP technique that you need to solve environmental issues before moving on.

4. Find the appropriate counterexample resource. Define some resource counterexample - something (something) as much as possible similar to an allergen, but what your immune system reacts normally to. Put anchor on your reaction, on this counterexample, and then hold this anchor throughout the process.

5. Dissociate yourself from allergies using an imaginary Plexiglass shield from wall to wall. Continuing to hold the anchor, see yourself there, on the other side of the plexiglass, which has a certain resource that allows it to calmly respond to the allergen. Use all arguments to assure yourself that you are really there, behind the shield, you are what you want to be, and that your immune system responds correctly.

6. Gradually inject the allergen. While you see yourself there, behind the plexiglass, slowly inject the allergen - something that used to cause an allergic reaction. Do it gradually, giving yourself the opportunity to get used to it. At this point, wait until you find a physiological shift in yourself. It’s as if the immune system tells you: “Everything is in order - I seem to understand.”

7. Re-associate. Bring yourself back to your body and imagine the presence of what usually caused your allergic reactions.

8. An extension to the future. Now imagine how in the future you will feel in the presence of what usually caused you allergic reactions. If the reaction does not occur, then you have succeeded.

2 WAY:

1. Calibrate the allergy.

2. Explain the error of the immune system.

3. Check ecology and secondary benefits.

4. a) Dissociate and anchor to the state of dissociation. This will add to your confidence that you can keep yourself dissociated.

b) Find the appropriate counter-example resource and anchor.

c) Ask yourself how you would like to be and what to feel in the presence of an allergen. Having decided, attach the anchor to this resource.

5. Use combinations of all three anchors in step 4 to discover yourself with these available resources.

6. Gradually (mentally) introduce the allergen in a dissociated state.

7. Remove the anchor of dissociation and associate with the allergen in the presence of two other resources.

8. Move to the future using two resource anchors.

9. Check the final result.

3 WAY:

1. Calibrate the allergy.

2. Explain the error of the immune system.

3. Check secondary benefits and environmental issues.

4. Find the appropriate resource and counterexample and identify the submodalities for this counterexample. These are the submodalities that your immune system applies when it responds correctly.

5. Identify the submodalities associated with the allergen situation. These are submodalities that your immune system uses when it reacts inappropriately.

6. When thinking about an allergen, navigate through the submodalities so that the allergy submodalities match the submodalities of the counterexample.

7. Move to the future.

8. Check the result.

The disadvantages of these methods are:

1. NLP psychotechnologies, difficult to understand and use by a person who owns and applies, not to mention people who are not familiar with this area of applied psychology;

2. Many actions (8-9).

The known method of "crossing anchors", presented in many books on NLP, including the book "Introduction to modern NLP" Moscow, 2002, pp. 117-118, SV Kovalev. This method is chosen as a prototype, providing for the imagination of the patient in a sequential state of self-confidence and a situation in which there is no confidence, their anchoring and the subsequent implementation of "crossing anchors".

The NLP method “crossing anchors” was previously used only for the correction of various psychological problems.

The problem to which the invention is directed is the use of a simple and effective non-drug method of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) "crossing anchors" in a new way for the treatment of bronchial asthma and allergies, using the capabilities of the patient's brain.

We empirically tried to use the technology of "crossing anchors" for the treatment of bronchial asthma and allergies.

The use of the well-known NLP method “crossing anchors” for a new purpose for the treatment of bronchial asthma and allergies has become possible due to the fact that we isolate specific irritants (situations) that cause the patient to have bronchospasm or some other pathological reaction that is not characteristic of a healthy person, and for each pathological stimulus (situation) we use the “anchor crossing” psychotechnology in order to stop the pathological action of the stimulus on a patient suffering from bronchial asthma and allergy s.

In neurolinguistic programming, allergies are seen as a malfunction of the immune system. She seemed to be “scared” of some harmless stimulus and now erroneously reacts to it as a substance hostile to the body. In bronchial asthma, just like in allergies, an immune system error occurred with the difference that the body responds to harmless irritants with bronchospasm.

Tell me what happens if you mix red and yellow? That's right - orange. And if you do it with cold and hot? Yes, it will be warm. Well, if you bring together the bad and the good, what will happen then? Quite right, the result will be something neutral.

It is this principle of "mixing" of two opposing neurological processes that is laid in neuro-linguistic programming at the basis of a very powerful technique of "crossing anchors".

Let us bring together a bright joyful event from the life of the patient and an irritant to which the patient has a pathological reaction that is not characteristic of the body of a healthy person. As a result, the pathological reaction will disappear.

Using NLP psychotechnology “crossing anchors”, the patient is asked to recall a bright joyful event and anchor it. Next, the patient is asked to recall the situation with any pathological stimulus and anchor it. After that, simultaneously activate both anchors. As a result, the situation with the pathological stimulus and a bright joyful event will collide in one place and time, forcing the patient’s brain to look for new opportunities in a situation that was previously perceived as problematic and change attitudes towards the pathological stimulus.

Neuro-linguistic programming was created in the seventies of the XX century in the USA by R. Bangler and J. Grinder. In essence, NLP is a model of psychological processes and human behavior. This model is built on a very distinct computer analogy, according to which the human brain can be represented as a super-powerful computer, and the individual psyche - as a set of programs — the effectiveness of a person’s life is determined by the quality of his “Software” and can be significantly improved by switching to more advanced “ programs »mental activity.

The "classics" of NLP often propose to consider the use of this science as a kind of educational process: the retraining of the brain. Most of people's reactions to external and internal stimuli are stereotyped and automatic, but far from always useful and effective. By replacing old “programs” with new neuro-linguistic programming, it creates more productive forms of behavior and response to external and internal stimuli.

By definition in NLP, anchoring is the binding of a person’s states to certain patterns of behavior or perceptual inputs for subsequent reproduction and use.

The process by which any stimulus or representation (external or internal) is associated with a certain reaction, and triggers its appearance. Anchoring is the process of the formation in people of unconscious programs of our behavior on the basis of a single (in the case of strong emotions) or a longer association of a certain stimulus with a certain reaction. Most of these associations are, of course, positive, since they allow us, without particularly thinking, to act in the necessary way. For example, when the phone rings, we do not hesitate to pick up the phone. An anchor is a bell, an action is to pick up a tube. Anchors can also be harmful - as, for example, once in the past a person was bitten by a dog, in the present tense when a person sees a dog, fear appears. The dog is an anchor, the action is the appearance of fear. Having arisen, anchors begin to control our behavior, automatically reproducing the reactions and conditions associated with the anchor. And together with the stimuli that generated them, they begin to act as a kind of startup file for plans and programs of human behavior.

Disease bronchial asthma or allergies are common concepts. We decompose the disease into specific irritants that cause bronchospasm or some other pathological reaction (sneezing, itching, and so on). Each patient has an individual amount of pathological stimuli that act on a person with bronchospasm or something else (sneezing, itching, and so on). Even with the same diseases, the patient can have any number of pathological irritants: one asthmatic or allergic person has 10 irritants, the other 15, the third 25, and different types differing from each other. For example, in a patient suffering from bronchial asthma, bronchospasm can occur from: cigarette smoke, automobile gas, physical activity, nervous disorders, and so on. In a patient suffering from allergies, a pathological reaction can occur from: dust, cats and dogs, food, plants, and so on.

When meeting with a patient, the consultant conducts a survey to determine the patient’s current condition: exacerbation or remission, how many years has been sick, when and as a result of which bronchial asthma or allergies appeared, what medications are used, and situations are specified where the patient bronchospasm or other pathological reactions not characteristic of a healthy person.

The patient is offered to conduct a laboratory examination of the clinic for the presence of allergens and come with an examination to discuss the findings and clarify the date of treatment initiation.

At the end of treatment, after 2-3 days, the patient is offered to conduct a re-examination in the clinic for the presence or absence of allergens and to come to an appointment to discuss the data and determine the patient’s well-being. The need for subsequent meetings is decided individually.

The method is as follows.

1. The patient is offered to sit in a comfortable chair, put his hands on his knees, palms down and remember any bright joyful event for 10 seconds and anchor it by touching the right knee with the thumb of the right leg for 2 seconds, remembering the place and force of the touch.

2. The patient is asked to recall within 10 seconds the situation with cigarette smoke, when there was bronchospasm from the smoke, and anchor it by touching it with the thumb of the left hand on the left knee for 2 seconds, remembering the place and force of touching.

3. The consultant suggests that the patient use the thumbs of both hands to simultaneously touch the knees with the thumb of the left hand of the left knee, with the thumb of the right hand of the right knee in the same place and with the same touch force, but lasting 5 seconds.

4. The pathological reaction of the body to cigarette smoke has disappeared.

5. We begin the stage of testing the patient for cigarette smoke. The consultant lights a cigarette and blows cigarette smoke on the patient. The patient has free breathing in and out, which is what they were striving for

6. If the patient’s pathological reaction has not disappeared and bronchospasm has appeared, then paragraphs 1, 2, 3 should be repeated again.

By analogy with the removal of bronchospasm for cigarette smoke, work is carried out with all other situations (allergens) in which the patient has bronchospasm or any other pathological reaction.

In the proposed method, you can put any anchors: visual, auditory, kinesthetic. In this case, we use kinesthetic, thumb touching the knee.

As a bright joyful event, the patient can remember and anchor the fun New Year or any other joyful event.

Since the start of treatment, the patient is offered to abandon bronchodilator and antihistamines in order to clarify the patient's reactions without medication.

The duration of treatment for bronchial asthma and allergies with the NLP "anchor crossing" method is individual for each patient, depending on the number of pathological stimuli and the reaction time for them. On average, the course of treatment lasts from 1 to 4 days. The duration of one session is from 10 minutes to 1 hour.

This method of treating bronchial asthma or allergies is intended to quickly remove the pathological action of irritants (allergens) that previously caused bronchospasm or other pathological reaction.

Conducted patent studies did not reveal the use of the NLP method "crossing anchors" to relieve pathological reactions in bronchial asthma and allergies.

1. We use psychotechnology NLP "crossing anchors" for the treatment of bronchial asthma or allergies.

2. We single out all irritants (allergens) and situations from which the patient experiences a pathological reaction that is not characteristic of the body of a healthy person.

3. We work with the patient by the method of “crossing anchors” for each stimulus (allergen), for each situation that previously caused a pathological reaction in the patient before the course of treatment.

4. In the NLP "anchor crossing" psychotechnology for the treatment of bronchial asthma or allergies, we select the situation of the occurrence of an allergic reaction or bronchospasm for one of the stimuli as a situation with a pathological irritant, while all the actions for each pathological irritant that are present in this patient are successively repeated.

Example 1. The patient is 28 years old.

Bronchospasm appeared in 22 years after pneumonia. Identified all the irritants, resulting in bronchospasm. For each stimulus, work was carried out on psychotechnology "crossing anchors" in May 2000 for 3 sessions.

After a course of treatment in May 2000 and to date, the patient does not use bronchodilator drugs.

Example 2. The patient is 16 years old.

Bronchospasms appeared in 8 years after a severe allergy. All irritants were identified, resulting in bronchospasm. For each stimulus, work was carried out on psychotechnology "crossing anchors" in September 2001 for 3 sessions. After a course of treatment in September 2001 and to date, the patient does not use bronchodilator drugs.

Example 3. The patient is 48 years old.

Bronchospasm appeared in 44 years after complications of bronchitis. All irritants were identified, resulting in bronchospasm. For each stimulus, work was carried out on psychotechnology "crossing anchors" in December 2001 for 4 sessions. After a course of treatment in December 2001 and to date, the patient does not use bronchodilator drugs.

Example 4. The patient is 37 years old.

An allergy to a cat, dog, dust appeared at 25 years after the birth of the baby. They conducted a course of treatment in April 2002 with a duration of 2 sessions. After the course of treatment, to date, allergens to the patient have no effect.

Example 5. The patient is 12 years old.

Pollinosis. The first symptoms of the disease appeared at 9 years old. Laboratory tests revealed all allergens. In May 2002, they conducted a course of treatment for 2 sessions. After the course of treatment and to date, flowering in the spring does not have a pathological effect on the patient.

Example 6. The patient is 52 years old.

Feather, wool, dust allergy. It is expressed in itching of the head at night on a feather pillow, itching when the body comes in contact with woolen things, repeated sneezing when dusting. The first symptoms of the disease appeared at 39 years old. In February 2001, they underwent a treatment course lasting 2 sessions. After the course of treatment, to date, allergens to the patient have no pathological effect.

The results obtained indicate the great and undoubted effectiveness of the method of treatment of bronchial asthma and allergies.

The application of the proposed method in practice does not require equipment, staff training, drugs for the patient, does not have negative consequences.

Using this method, a successful treatment for allergies and bronchial asthma was performed for more than 100 patients aged 7 to 75 years.

Relapse in patients relieved of allergies and bronchial asthma and continuing contact with a consultant is not observed.

This method is based on modern ideas about the physiology and psychology of man, can be used in health centers, clinics and other organizations, which confirms its industrial applicability.
