This is a longer post than usual, but trust me...it's worth the read!
If you follow my blog, you'll know that I promised to keep you updated on my new holistic venture. My recent trip to Dr. Gwinnup in Chs brought to light a few things that I kind of new and many that I did not. I was tested for 753 allergies - all from basic foods to amino acids to metals to you name it. And of the 753 - 62 are currently being either rejected or fought inside my body when I come into contact with them. Most people have standard allergic reactions - sneezing, coughing, stuffy head, hives, shortness of breath. I have stomach pain and a plethora of GI issues that I don't wish to blog about - too much information. But you get the point.
In a nutshell, I'm allergic to eggs, wheat, corn, dairy, pure cane sugar, guava, potatoes, iron, chicken, shrimp, haddock, crab, scallops, and a slew of other stuff.
So Friday was my first treatment. It consisted of an exam and the treatment of eggs. My body was out of balance so much that my left side was 28lbs heavier than my right. This is because the discs in my neck and pelvic bone were misaligned. To ensure successful treatment, he had to align them.
From there, a strength test was performed. My left arm was held out parallel to the ground with my hand twisted so that my thumb faced the ground. He put pressure on my arm and told me to hold my arm up. I did without any problems. He then put little vials of egg white, egg yolk, chicken, and feathers into my hand and performed the strength test again. I couldn't hold my arm up! My body had reacted to the vials and caused an energy reaction that prevented my muscles from overcoming the Dr's pressure.
I was then told to lay down on my stomach on his table. With the vials still in my hand, he massaged and stimulated various acupressure points up and down my spine. When finished I was told to wait in the lobby for 10 minutes while I "cooked." Still with the vials in my hand, I sat in the waiting room as my body slowly became desensitized towards the eggs, chicken, and feathers.
When 10 minutes were up, the strength test was repeated. This time I WAS ABLE TO HOLD MY ARM UP! Amazing.
For the next 25 hours, I could not eat nor touch any substance that contained eggs, chicken, or chicken feathers. So no breads, cookies, omelets, pasta, chicken sandwich, or pillows! To some, this would be torture. But to me, not so. I've been avoiding all of those foods anyways for some time since bread contains wheat. So does pasta and cookies. Only issue was the pillow. Try sleeping at night without a pillow - reminded me a little too much of Iraq.
According to Dr. Gwinnup and the N.A.E.T. protocol, I can slowly reintroduce eggs and chicken back into my diet and I should be free of this allergy.
I know what you're thinking....this is some crazy Voodoo shit, right? But think about it for a minute....
Western medicine constantly treats symptoms, never the cause. The cause is always a mystery - at least that has been my experience. And anyone suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or Crohns or similar disorder knows the run around from traditional GI doctors. Treat the symptom - blanket the cause with a BS disease such as IBS. If you have stomach issues, then the cause is what you're eating. Period. Garbage in = Garbage out. America has the worst eating habits in the world. Try to find anything in a grocery store without High Fructose Corn Syrup. Good luck, because it's in everything. And I'm allergic to it.
When your body reacts to an allergy, all it's doing is sending signals up your spin to your brain telling it to either accept or reject the substance. If it rejects it, you'll have an allergic reaction. In my case, I become inflamed in the stomach which causes my pain and a slew of other issues. Obviously there are medical terms for these signals and reactions, but I don't speak medical - I speak financial and IRS. I've done the research but don't recall the terminology - so I'll leave that up to you or you could just take my word for it.
The basis of stimulating acupressure points along my spin was to "reprogram" these signals to tell my brain that these substances were not malicious and that they should not be attacked.
That's it! It's that simple. Of course Dr. Gwinnup makes it sound so much more interesting and medical than I do. But this is my blog and not his and is simply my way of tell all of you that I finally have some faith in Doctors - especially those that practice holistic medicine.
Wait though Justin......do eggs still bother you? You didn't tell us....
I don't know yet. I'm nervous to reenter them into my diet and it's only been 28 hours since my treatment. I'll keep you posted. But I'll never know if I don't try. Next week is Amino Acids and Sugar!
S/F. Enjoy!
