About 2 years ago my son was given a diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis.  He turns 5 next month.  Short version... food allergies cause white blood cells to attack his esophagus causing inflamation which in turn causes vomitting, regurgitation, choking, and can eventually lead to permanent damage and swallowing problems for life (so the professionals gently put in our heads).  This dis-ease is relatively new, about 10 years known, and the treatments are somewhat experimental with steroids swallowed, reflux meds, and avoidance of all allergenic foods, which is hard b/c the list is very very long and seems to be getting longer instead of shorter.  Some kids/people live on elemental formula alone, no food.

I DO NOT WANT THIS FOR MY SON!  And after reading Bruce Lipton's book "Biology of Belief" I decided to give EFT a try.  I also read and am enlightened with hope from books on Law of Attraction.

My question is, what tapping protocal should I be following daily to help my son?  I tried to tap on him and he giggles and laughs so hard we don't get anywhere.  I can surrogate tap, but not sure what to focus on.  Do I focus on the eosinophils in the esophagus?  Or do I focus on each allergy that was tested positive?  There are so many and I don't know how to test each individually.  So should I tap on food allergies in general?

Any help would be wonderful.

Thanks,

Tracy

Hello Tracy,

Welcome to the forum.

There are literally dozens of angles that you can approach this from. In order to decide the best way forward I have a suggestion for you. It will take a bit of time but it is worth the effort. Take some time to list out in note form all the areas that are problematic to your son and you. There are lots just from reading your entry. Some will be physical and many emotional. They will be groups of aspects that are linked, list them all out. As you go rank the intensity 1-10 on each entry. Trust your instinct. The ones with the biggest numbers now are the ones to start with.

Then the choice is yours as to the way forward. I cannot tell how much experience you have tapping and whether it might be good idea to book a session with an experienced practitoner who can guide you through tapping each aspect. This can be done face to face or on the phone.

THere are also several options for how to tap. Surrogately for your son, for yourself for all the emotions tied up with coping, tapping on your son or tapping with your son. I would recommend a mixture of all of them. Read other entries about tapping yourself first, surrogate tapping and others that are useful and go into more depth about the ares you are asking. I also strongly recommend that your son can see you genuinely see the benfits of you using EFT without forcing the issue, he will soon want to join in, make it a game.
