Patients who are new to natural healing and preventive
medicine frequently ask questions along the lines of "how many treatments
will it take to get rid of my symptoms?" or "how long will the benefits of
your treatment last?" Such questions naturally derive from the desire to
know when discomfort will abate, and from
financial concerns as well. But there are much deeper issues underlying
those questions that deal with the very nature of "health" itself.
As far as getting rid of symptoms such as headache or
recurring neck pain, it is generally possible to eliminate them rather quickly
and without the harmful side-effects of drugs.
But there is a huge difference between absence of a particular symptom
and genuine wellness.
Our bodies were divinely designed to always self regulate
toward wellness. What prevents
wholeness, balance and health can be summarized as follows: (1) deficits at
birth (2) old injuries - emotional or physical (3) infection and (4)
poisoning (from environmental toxins, poor quality foods, and especially from
negative bacteria in our digestive tract that produce endo/bio/neuro toxins.)
The vast majority of chronic health complaints I see derive from causes 2, 3,
and 4. The ability to achieve
"lasting results" in healthcare comes from removing these contributors
which are often hidden. A couple of case studies following exemplify these
ideas.
Case 1. Sue,
a fit 36 year old, came to see me with the request that I "once and for
all" fix her recurring low back pain. She
had seen four chiropractors over a period of three years (all practicing
different methods of adjusting.) She received varying degrees of relief from
their many different approaches, but the problem kept coming back. I asked her
if any of the doctors had performed the "injury recall" procedure.
She said no. At a national conference in 2005 it was pointed out that
injury recall treatment is the single most important clinical development in
the 100 year old chiropractic profession.
Yet, because it is a relatively recent discovery, it is probable that
less than 1% of all chiropractors know it exists.
To perform that procedure I asked Sue to recall
one-at-a-time her history of injuries physical and emotional. With each
injury she revisited in her memory, I monitored her body for reflex nervous
disturbance. One skiing accident
and an emotionally devastating loss of a relationship were "hot buttons"
in her nervous system. The shock
from these memories was continuously replaying at the subconscious level and
was interfering with her natural ability to recover.
I applied the wonderful procedure to clear memory of each of the
traumas. Coupled with a B.E.S.T. (bioenergetic)
adjustment to "lock in" memory of our correction, her body completely
healed itself by the next follow-up visit and stayed stable into the future.
Case 2. John, a 44 year old accountant, had not felt well his entire adult life. He had
structural complaints, digestive disturbances, and had been diagnosed with
numerous chronic infections such as Epstein Barr and cytomegalovirus. His
greatest concern was that he had virtually given up hope of regaining health.
Due to his receiving frequent tick bites at his weekend farm retreat, he
probably was carrying debilitating tick transmitted infections. Medical
physicians told him that after all the courses of antibiotics he had been
given that there really shouldn't be any problems (suggesting purely
psychosomatic illness.)
My examination revealed numerous structural faults which
were reducing nerve and blood supply to the brain, and I was able to correct
them relatively quickly. John felt a notch of improvement. I told John that we
would next turn our attention toward achieving a more positive outlook by
using FlorAlive flower essences changing selection of remedies every three or
so weeks. Upon commencing the essences he felt another notch of improvement.
I explained that the most difficult challenge was to eliminate the
resevoir of infection in his horribly unbalanced digestive tract (which upon
stool analysis showed that he had NO protective bacteria, Lactobacillus, and
many bowel pathogens. This condition is made worse by antibiotic drugs.)
Change of diet and non-drug antibiotics were cycled over time and provided
John enormous relief.
The very common problem of intestinal infection produces
severe systemic, metabolic problems including generalized inflammation, immune
suppression, emotional depression, and disruption of hormonal balance coming
from neurotoxins and biotoxins which debilitate the nervous system and cause
weakness of ligaments. The latter
is called ligamentous laxity, and it produces the chronic chiropractic patient
someone who needs to be adjusted all the time. Integration of natural
therapies is critical to recovery in cases such as John's. And though he is
not yet completely well, he feels he has a new life, and much greater energy.
I developed a quick reflex test in the late 1980's
which has been proven with laboratory stool analysis to be an excellent
predictor of intestinal flora disturbance and infection. Poor intestinal flora
has such tremendous implications for general health that I strongly recommend
everyone assess this area if they wish to achieve wellbeing. Lasting
results are always achieved more easily if our core strength intestinal
balance is in tact. I will be
happy to perform the rapid screening for intestinal flora balance free of
charge if you call my office to arrange a complimentary consultation.
