I’m glad at least part of the medical establishment is finally investigating the link between food allergies and ADHD. I have been successfully treating ADHD by desensitizing allergies for years now. I’ve found that over 90% of children with ADHD symptoms have multiple allergies. These allergies are usually a combination of:

• Ingestants
• Inhalants
• Contactants
• Injectants

Ingestants which include food additives are the most common. Many parents miss these allergies as the cause of ADHD because they usually dont present with the classic allergy symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, rash, etc but rather as ADHD, fatique or confusion.

Using simple, non-invasive techniques we clears the root causes of the allergies from the body. Its almost miraculous when the allergies are cleared from the body, how quickly the ADHD symptoms go away.

Over the years, I’ve helped many family members as well as dozens of patients get off of ADHD prescription drugs for good and lead a normal productive life after their multiple allergies are cleared. Most of whom were completely aware there was a direct conection between allergies and ADHD but just avoiding the suspected foods will not work because many times the foods being avoided are important sources of nutrition and vital for opptimal health.

I’ve also seen some people who are so sensetive that there is only a few foods they can eat without causing the unwanted symptoms. The best answer to treating allergies is to desensitize the body to the allergen. When properly done, clearing the allergies cures ADHD symptoms and causes a stronger immune system which leads to better health and wellness.

It would be an understatement to say that antibiotics are overused in this country. Many concerned parents rush straight to their doctor at the first sign of a fever to get antibiotics. This is an incorrect and even dangerous thing t do. First of all fever isn’t a bad thing unless it is over 102 degrees for a long period of time. Fevers are a natural process of the body to destroy infectious agents. Although fevers are miserable to go through, they have a healing purpose and should run their normal course in most cases. Fevers actually help to get the patient well faster with much less reoccurrence. Most medical doctors don’t have the time or the resources to run a culture on every patient to determine if the infection is viral or bacterial. This causes the doctor to either decide to not treat the patient and send them home for observation, (basically do nothing) or to prescribe antibiotics along with their harmful side effects. In my opinion both of these options are wrong. There is a simple invasive way to check if the infection is bacterial or viral and a way to determine what specific nutritional supplement should be used to correct the problem.

I see children as well as adults in my practice everyday who have infections and I use a system of muscle response testing in conjunction with acupuncture points or meridian access points to determine the type of infection and the correct nutritional protocol to use for either a bacterial or viral infection. When evaluated and treated this way the body reacts much faster, better and much more safe without the dangerous side effects of antibiotics.

Supplements don’t usually come with a page long list of side effects (including death) but drugs sure do. Wouldn’t it be a lot less dangerous to start with the food based supplement first and if it isn’t effective enough, then try the drug if needed. I’ve seen this about 15 years ago when the FDA was trying to get all nutritional supplements under the control of medical doctors who would have to prescribe them like a drug. One of the many problems with this is that medical doctors only have one semester in their required schooling in nutrition. The fact is that most medical doctors don’t know the first thing about nutrition or nutritional supplements.

I’m not saying that medical doctors are not educated or needed but nutrition is not their expertise, drugs and surgery are. I have personally seen many different heart conditions as well as many other serious health conditions cured through nutritional supplements without the many side effects that drugs have. With that said, causion should be taken especially when using herbal supplements along with drugs. When in doubt ask a health professional who’s expertise is in nutrition.

Nutrition is one of the four pillars of health. Blueberries are high in antioxidants and phytochemicals.

Blueberries benefits as a superfood include:

• Lower Blood Pressure
• Reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes
• Lower Cholesterol
• Reduce risks of cancer
• Assist weight loss

To maximize the benefits of blueberries or any super food, it is essential to establish a baseline of health. The most efficient way to establish a baseline of health is with a treatment program based on the 4 pillars of health.

When your body is restored to optimum heath structurally, biochemically, emotionally & toxicity the benefits for super foods assist to maintain this balance.

Original Article: Blueberries may be one of nature’s wonder drugs — and new research suggests that eating servings of blueberries regularly can help control insulin levels in people at risk for Type 2 diabetes.

A newly published research study has found that including regular servings of blueberries in your diet can have a positive impact on people at risk for Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes. Article Link

Adrenal fatigue and heart symptoms are even more related than just increased cortisol levels. Weak adrenal function caused by stress in the vast majority of the population can cause many heart symptoms which can eventually lead to heart problems and disease.

Symptoms of severe stress include arrhythmias or irregular heart beat. If this symptom is not treated, over time clots can form in the arteries which can lead to stroke. Blood pressure can increase which causes damage and fatigue to the heart as well as damaging the inside walls of the arteries which could lead to heart disease and stroke.

Adrenal fatigue and associated increased cortisol levels are dangerous and must be treated properly. The underlying factors and causes contributing to this including stress must be completely evaluated and treated. It is important to know that these conditions are often multi-factoral.

The following areas of health and balance must be checked. These include:

1. Structure
2. Biochemistry
3. Emotion
4. Toxins

When all of these categories are thoroughly evaluated and treated, the adrenal glands can be healed and brought back to balance and the heart symptoms and risks go away on their own without the use of harmful and toxic drugs with all of their side effects and or even surgery. I’ve successfully treated Hypoadrenia or weak adrenals in my office. This is a very common problem that is often missed in the medical community with often deadly consequences.

Eczema and celiac disease are common symptoms of allergies. In fact they are usually symptoms of multiple allergies. When allergies are diagnosed, the typical treatment is to avoid the offenders. By eliminating the foods that are the cause, one could eliminate the symptoms right? Well you could do that but what if the food or foods you are eliminating are good for you?

Wheat for example, is a great food that has all the complex amino acid chains as meat. The only problem is that many people have allergies to wheat or gluten in the wheat. This same scenario goes for other foods as well. The answer is not to eliminate good foods that you happen to have allergies to but instead to desensitize the allergies. Many people don’t even know this is an option.

You can cure allergies without years of allergy shots?

Most of the medical community don’t know how to do this or even think it’s possible. I do it for many patients everyday in my office with fantastic results. I use a technique called Neuro Modulation Technique or (NMT). NMT is a way to reprogram your autonomic nervous system to recognize and correct the hypersensitivity. When the allergies are properly desensitized, you can eat the foods again without the symptoms. This same procedure can be used for inhalants, contactants and inject ants as well. This usually involves a series of treatments that will leave you allergy free, and symptom free.

The original question: I have suffered from eczema for many years. I changed doctors last year and she thinks that my skin condition may be a result of being allergic to gluten.

Since I have an HMO, she cannot test me for the allergy because they will not pay for it. I have tried going gluten free and the skin condition got better but did not go away. Is there anything that I can do to be sure I was given the proper diagnosis before completely changing my diet and life? Article (opens new window)

The case for needing treatment for conditions may be strong as the BBC article indicated but how do you treat it and at what cost?

Bone strengthening drugs like most other drugs have side effects. The medical world likes to use terms like “the benefits out weigh the risk”. It seems like most drugs these days have a side effects list a mile long with a list of symptoms that are sometimes so bad that they include side effect symptoms that are worse than the symptoms you’re taking the drug to get rid of in the first place.

The best and safest treatment for osteoporosis conditions include the use of organic whole food supplements. The best ones to use in bone conditions are Cal-Ma Plus and Biost from Standard Process. As with all conditions the patient must be evaluated and checked for the underlying causes of the condition by checking for any structural, biochemical, emotional or toxic factors.

BBC Article: Link between bone drugs and oesophageal cancer

Long-term use of bone-strengthening drugs – used to treat fractures – may boost the risk of oesophageal cancer, Oxford University research suggests.

The study of 3,000 people found taking bisphosphonates for five years upped the risk from one in 1,000 to two in 1,000 for 60 to 79-year-olds.

The researchers said the risk was small, but reliable information on risks and benefits was needed. Link to article (opens new window)

Depression can affect children as well as adults. Diagnosing the condition in children can be difficult because children usually don’t express their emotions of how they are feeling the same way adults do. Finding the underlying causes is the key to eradicating the symptoms. The approach to diagnosing depression is the same for children as it is adults. The most common cause for depression is a condition called Hypoadrenia.

Hypoadrenia is simply weak or depleted adrenal glands. When the adrenal glands are fatigued, symptoms include depression, anxiety, sluggish metabolism, digestive issues, hormonal imbalance and blood sugar processing problems. Every patient I’ve ever seen for depression has had some form of Hypoadrenia. The most common cause of Hypoadrenia is emotional stress. It doesn’t have to be a big emotional event either, although it can. It usually is day to day stress that adds up.

Children sometimes are born with Hypoadrenia. This can occur when the Mother has weak adrenals and leaches off of the fetus’s adrenals. This condition can be treated quite effectively. In my office we use a combination of techniques to evaluate and treat the underlying conditions. These include evaluating and treating any structural, biochemical, emotional or toxic imbalances which interferes with the nervous system resulting in symptoms. When the underlying conditions are evaluated and treated properly, balance is returned to the body and the symptoms go away.

Can Preschoolers be depressed?

Kiran didn’t seem like the type of kid parents should worry about. “He was the easy one,” his father, Raghu, a physician, says. “He always wanted to please.” Unlike other children in his suburban St. Louis preschool, Kiran (a nickname his parents asked me to use to protect his identity) rarely disobeyed or acted out.

It never ceases to amaze me what the medical establishment will come up with. Yes, let’s remove important reproductive organs and breasts ahead of time just in case they might develop cancer. It almost sounds humorous if they weren’t serious.

If they just put a fraction of the billions they waste doing these evasive procedures on prevention, most cancers would be eradicated. I’m not talking about constant mammograms and evasive gynecological exams. I’m talking about true prevention that addresses the root cause of imbalance or illness.

Before you consider prophylactic removal of your breasts and/or ovaries, let’s restructure your mind-body connection and get a real cure. There are four basic areas that must be thoroughly evaluated to find the root cause. These are what I refer to as the four pillars of health.

They are:

1. Structure
2. Biochemistry (nutrition)
3. Emotion (stress)
4. 4) Toxins.

It’s always one or a combination of these areas of cause imbalance and disease, illness, pain. Yes, even cancer of the reproductive organs can be traced to these areas.

I do not claim to treat or cure cancer. In fact I don’t claim to treat or cure any condition. What I do is remove the imbalance or imbalances that are interfering with the nervous system. A body without interference to the nervous system is healthy and free from disease and illness. In essence, when interference to the nervous system is removed, balance is achieved and the body heals itself!

In my opinion, working to allow your body to prevent cancer beats mutilation.

Women who have gene mutations that increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer can substantially reduce their chances of developing — and dying from — those cancers if they have their breasts or ovaries removed preemptively, according to a new study. Original Article. (opens new window)
