Gary,

EFT has worked for so many things, why not try the impossible. For more than a decade, my wife has had severe lactose intolerance. Even small amounts of lactose cause diarrhea, gas, pain and embarrassment. I've tried hypnosis for the problem, to no avail. So we decided to give EFT a try.

I told her to buy some ice cream (she hasn't had any in years because of what it does to her). We chose Friday morning (Christmas Eve) for the tapping so that if it didn't work, she would be close to the toilet for three days.

We dished the ice cream and I had her look at the bowl of "Chocolate Truffle". She rated her anxiety about eating it at an 8. We tapped until that was zero. Then picked up other aspects (fear, silliness, etc) for another 5 minutes. Once it seemed as though we covered everything, she enjoyed that bowl of ice cream and braced herself for the worst.

The first hour passed. Wow. No problem.

Then half the day passed. Double Wow! Still no problem.

In the afternoon, she went out and ran some errands. That night for dinner, she had ranch dressing, and ice cream for dessert. Still no problem. Now it has been four full days, and she's had cream of broccoli soup, more ice cream, milk chocolate, and more.

Shirley and I didn't expect to have any results with EFT, based on what we've been told about the condition. As we understand it, a person only has "so many" enzymes in their life time, and once you use them up, that's it. You body can't produce any more. Based on this belief, I knew EFT probably wouldn't work, but it only takes a few minutes, so why not try it?

Those of us without this problem take these things for granted, but my wife has been set free. I hope this inspires someone else to become free of unnecessary pain, discomfort and embarrassment.

Follow-up 6 months later

Hi Gary!

Almost six months ago I reported our success using EFT for my wife's Lactose Intolerance. She had this dreaded problem for about a decade before addressing it with EFT. Since then, she has had no more problems with lactose. She still is careful not to overdo milk products (just out of common sense), but regularly indulges in foods that used to cause her much distress, such as pizza, pancakes, ranch dressing and a multitude of seemingly innocent foods that contain milk products or byproducts.

However, there have been some occasions where she has had a similar problem (diarrhea, gas, pain and embarrassment) but after tracking it for several months, there was no connection to lactose. Upon discussing it with her physician, she realized it might be food preservatives. Sure enough, the major culprits turned out to be french fries (most precooked and frozen types that you buy at the store or are served by restaurants), and vegetables (especially salad bars at restaurants). We had her go a couple of weeks avoiding these foods to make sure we knew what the problem was, and then had her test it by eating the suspected food. Sure enough, 20 minutes later, the trouble started. She had the usual "blow-out".

Once we narrowed down the problem, we knew what to tap on. Again, we got a sample of the trouble food (a bag of french fries from the golden arches) and tapped for "the anxiety about the reaction" and for the allergy itself. Once we had the anxiety and concern down to zero, she ate the whole bag. No problem. It's been a week and still no problems. I'll need to follow up this report after a little more time has passed, but it appears that EFT eliminated this food allergy too. You don't know what a relief this is to my wife, and me too.

Thanks for making this powerful therapy available to so many. I've used EFT in my professional practice with hundreds of clients, and have had tremendous results, some dramatic, some that seem common place now. However, none of these seem as significant as being able to help the person you live with.

By the way - in a previous message, I also mentioned my daughter overcoming car sickness with one 5 minute EFT session. Now - six months later, we've purchase a mini-motor home and are traveling around North America. Laura rides in the back of the van conversion, sometimes with the curtains open, sometimes closed, sometimes looking out the window, sometimes reading or watching TV. She has not had a single incident of motion sickness, not even a complaint since that day in November, seven months ago. I don't think we would have even considered this trip if motion sickness was still an issue for our daughter. Thanks again!

Hugs back to you Gary!
