I'm wondering if anyone has explored the possibility of eliminating intolerances and allergies through some of the methods to be found in the fringes of the holistic health field. I've been looking into a method known as Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination or BIE. The method sounds interesting.
This is from a Colon Hydrotherapy/Holistic Health Centre in Toronto (http://www.digestivehealthcentre.com/bie.html)
I'd be curious to find out what others here think about this sort of technique. From the research I've done on it, it sounds similar to Electordermal Screening (EDS) in method, but instead of just using the process to detect allergies they use an energetic method to overcome the allergic reaction.
On the one hand, this sounds great; like a way to avoid all the headaches and difficulties I've been having trying to identify my own intolerances. On the other hand, it kind of comes across as cheating - like a shortcut that maybe short circuits free will on an energetic level. This may not be the case, but I worry about these sorts of things.
Any input appreciated.

Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination Toronto
Natural Allergy Relief & IBS Treatment
Toronto’s D’Avignon Digestive Health Centre in uses Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE) to provide lasting, natural relief from persistent allergies and food sensitivities, including IBS.
“The cell is a machine driven by energy. It can thus be approached by studying matter, or by studying energy. In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.” –Albert Szent-Györgyi, Nobel Laureate in Medicine

1. What is BIE?
BIE is a safe, effective and non-invasive alternative therapy for assessing and eliminating allergies, sensitivities and intolerances. We have been safely performing natural allergy elimination treatment in Toronto since 2003.
2. How does BIE work?
BIE works by “clearing” the energetic pathways of the body. These bioenergetic pathways, or meridians, whose existence has been confirmed through electro-magnetic imaging technology, allow energetic signals to flow continuously throughout the body via the nervous system. Any number of factors can cause a disruption in the normal (healthy) flow of energy through the body’s meridians. These disruptions interfere with the communication between the brain and body, causing energetic abnormalities which can underlie a wide range of symptoms and conditions, including allergies, sensitivities and intolerances.
During the procedure, the client is exposed to the allergenic substance (which is held in a glass vial), while a hand-held device is used to transmit a low electronic frequency at various meridian sites on the body. As the electronic frequency clears blocked meridians, the body’s cells interpret the allergen’s energetic frequency as “non-threatening”, resulting in the elimination of adverse reactions to the cleared allergen.
3. How is BIE different from conventional methods of treating allergies, sensitivities and intolerances?
The most widely used conventional allergy test is the scratch or pin prick test, whereby an area on the skin (usually the back) is scratched or pricked to allow for a small dilution of a suspected allergen (typically inhaled allergens such as pollen, mold, dust and animal dander) to be applied and absorbed into the body. The appearance of redness and inflammation within 20 minutes confirms an allergy. Since the scratch test measures only one specific type of allergic response (IgE-mediated), it does not reliably detect food, chemical or environmental allergies and sensitivities.
Other conventional tests (patch test, Serial Endpoint Titration, Radio Allergosorbent Test, ELISA Test, Cytotoxic test, ALCAT) also have limitations in terms of their ability to detect various types of allergic reactions. Also, these tests can be invasive (requiring allergens to be injected into the body), uncomfortable and time-consuming.
Another significant drawback to the conventional approach to allergy is its reliance on pharmaceuticals to control allergic reactions and their symptoms. Antihistamines, inhalation corticosteroids, bronchodilators, aminophylline, oxtriphylline and theophylline medications may be used to provide temporary relief from symptoms, however, these short-term solutions pose the risk of serious long-term side effects (melatonin depletion with antihistamines; calcium, vitamin D, potassium, zinc, magnesium, vitamin C and folic acid depletion with corticosteroids; depression, insomnia and cardiovascular disease with bronchodilators).
In contrast, because BIE addresses the issue of allergy energetically, it is painless and non-invasive and can be used to assess the body’s reaction to virtually any substance. Further, a distinct advantage of BIE is its ability to restore the body’s proper physiological functioning without the use of pharmaceuticals and without any lasting adverse side effects.
4. How is BIE different from alternative methods of treating allergies, sensitivities and intolerances?
While alternative testing methods tend to be less invasive than conventional tests, they offer varying degrees of reliability (Provocative Neutralization, Electrodermal Screening, Coca Pulse Test), and can be complicated or impractical (rotation diet, Five Phase Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine).
Of all the alternative methods currently available, D’Avignon Digestive Health Clinic offers the simplest, most efficient, most reliable and most cost-effective natural allergy elimination treatment in Toronto.
5. Does BIE work for anaphylactic reactions?
BIE can be used to clear anaphylactic reactions. Persons with anaphylactic allergies are required to follow a specific protocol, which includes obtaining clearance from their medical doctor prior to ingesting or being exposed to the allergenic substance.
6. Does BIE help with conditions other than allergies, sensitivities and intolerances?
Eliminating allergies, sensitivities and intolerances with BIE can have profoundly beneficial effects on virtually any condition or illness. While allergies, sensitivities and intolerances are not known to be the cause of disease, they have been recognized as playing a role in the development of disease, and are often involved in many common conditions and illnesses.
While BIE can eliminate anaphylactic reactions to nuts, allergic reactions to pollen, intolerance to wheat or dairy, it can also be used to assess unsuspected reactions which may be implicated in conditions as wide-ranging as hyperactivity, IBS, diabetes, weight gain, menopause, insomnia, Multiple Sclerosis, anxiety and hypertension.
7. Are there any side effects to BIE?
In certain rare instances, it is possible to experience short-lived reactions as the body adjusts to the clearing, such as a headache, sinus congestion, nausea or lethargy.
8. How many sessions will I need?
Generally, between five and ten substances can be cleared in one session, depending on the severity of the body’s reaction to a substance. Most allergies can be cleared in one session; persistent allergies may require up to 4 sessions to be completely cleared.
9. How soon will I notice results?
Relief can be felt as soon as a substance has been cleared. This means that for most people, the results are immediate.
10. How long will the effects last?
Once an allergy/sensitivity/intolerance has been cleared, the result is generally permanent. However, a number of factors, including lifestyle, diet, stress and individual susceptibility can cause certain reactions to reoccur. Our Registered Holistic Allergist will advise you on how you can help reduce this risk.
