How does it affect my health?

For hundreds of years the Founders of holistic health have stated, "Health and disease begin in the colon." Scientists are proving them right stating the over 50 percent of immune response is in our intestinal tract.

Dr. Murray Smith has shown that when the gut lining gets inflamed from specific problems there is a cascading negative affect on our health. We absorb the acids from our colon into our blood stream causing stiffness and soreness especially in the morning. We get excess inflammation in our body and our immune systems are suppressed, so we tend to get sick more. Candida or yeast and fungus proliferate to clean up the garbage in our gut as they seek warm wet areas.

Our sinuses and lower pelvic areas provide a nice environment for them to grow causing vaginal yeast infections, chronic sinus infections, prostrate problems, and in infants earaches can be a problem. The yeast feeds on sugars and causes us to develop cravings for sweets and breads.

As the gut becomes more and more inflamed we develop allergies and sensitivities and an abundance of other symptoms that doctors have no answers for except to treat the symptoms. The body becomes more and more toxic stressing our liver and kidneys as the organs of elimination. As a protective mechanism the body stores the toxins. This is often the fatty areas of the body like the abdomen, thighs, breasts, and joints of the body. You will notice extreme tenderness in these areas as fluid buildup occurs. The abdomen may become extended and act like an enclosed toxic suitcase becoming larger and larger. The lungs and skin try to eliminate these toxins and we may develop chronic bad breath and possible skin problems.

 Sadly, the standard medical treatment historically for many of these symptoms has been antacids, antibiotics, or anti-inflammatory drugs. All of these cause more inflammation in the intestinal lining and upset the balance of the good, friendly bacteria and cause more yeast and infectious organisms. Thus it becomes a merry go round of temporary symptom relief with an increase of symptoms and a further decline of health. More and more drugs are used which increase the stress and toxic load to the liver and therefore all of the cells of the body. Happily, there are many medical practitioners and wellness professionals who know a better way and can identify your interference’s and remove them using a program that supports all the steps to wellness.

Allergy’s

Where do allergies come from?

Antibiotic overuse is a major cause; it leads to confused immune system responses and to killing off the friendly protective bacteria in our GI tracts, thus encouraging infectious organisms. infectious organisms are linked with leaky gut syndrome, or excessive permeability of the GI tract, partly caused by damaged, leaking walls in the digestive tract that allow food particles into the blood stream. 

The causes of a leaky gut include poor digestion, oral antibiotics, candida infection, viral, bacterial, and parasite infestations, alcohol consumption, over-the-counter painkillers, premature birth, and radiation which lead to food particles leaking into the blood system. Food particles in the digestive tract are normal, but food particles in the blood stream are reacted to as foreign invaders. 

As we develop some of the above problems coupled with a lack of enzymes from our diet, our food is improperly digested. Food is not broken down into the small enough particles before it is absorbed. We get pieces of undigested food absorbed with a leaky gut lining inflamed from fermented undigested foods. If we use antacids we may help the momentary symptom of heartburn but we suppress the necessary hydrochloric acid to break down the proteins and they ferment and we get heartburn over again and again without fixing the real problem. We now have partially digested carbohydrates, proteins and fats in the blood stream which are now foreign substances to the body.

The immune system overreacts to substances which it considers foreign invaders and we develop allergies or sensitivities to an ever-increasing number of foods or environmental substances. The immune system is further stressed by an overload of toxins, heavy metal accumulation, electromagnetic pollution, and pollution from air, water and food. 

Many infant immune systems are damaged too early by too many vaccinations before the immune system has matured. Other causes include the overuse of antibiotics, fungal- yeast infections, birth control pills, over-the-counter painkillers, steroids, and heredity.

Specific Life Style Adjustments

An overall approach to identifying the 6 interference’s in your life and removing them is important. Changes in your exposure to electromagnetic pollution, poor nutrition including chemicals and toxins in our food supply, healing the intestinal tract to reverse the whole leaky gut syndrome and avoiding negative and stressful emotional states can be extremely helpful as you heal from your allergies and sensitivities. Emotions play large role in our allergy picture as they can trigger adrenal exhaustion and create “the general adaptive syndrome”.

If we are exposed to an allergen when in an extreme emotional state the body can tag that emotion with the allergic reaction. Then often when the emotion is triggered the allergy response will be re-created. Your Practitioner may treat an emotional imbalance with the A/SERT to get a deeper response. Environmental exposure including many home chemicals, bathing products, work exposure and general pollutants can be greatly avoided with proper care and effort.

Specific Preventative Care

The elimination diet is something you can do with yourself, or with your health practitioner's assistance. Identifying allergic foods can be done much faster and completely in a practitioner's office with muscle testing, where individual and whole groups of foods can be tested at one time. 

obtaining a muscle test will determine what will strengthen and benefit your body and by what approach: elimination, rotation, desensitization with the allergy/sensitivity elimination and reprogramming technique, repairing nutritional deficiencies, treating and removing infectious organisms, balancing the friendly bowel flora, and other approaches combined or alone. 

Specific Supplements

Once again we see that as we remove the interference’s in all 6 areas of the puzzle of health and treat them with the “ Ten Steps to Wellness”, the power of this total approach is likely unmatched. Nutrients that help reduce inflammation associated with allergies include bioflavonoids. Total Inflam is an excellent natural anti-inflammatory which aides healing of the intestinal tract rather than inflame it.

Homeopathic formulas can be used to help break down the desensitized substance and remove them from the cells. Some nutrients can help rebuild and improve lymphatic flow and drainage by detoxifying the liver such as Total Liver Detox, Total System Detox,Total Chelate and others.

Technology of Discovery

Your practitioner can use the autonomic system reflex testing (the Total Person Scan) to identify substances from foods, chemicals, heavy metals and allergens that are stressing your body. There are blood tests and skin response methods to determine allergies and sensitivities that can be used as well. You can bring in a specific animal hair or substance for testing.

Once these substances are identified we can use a method called A/SERT- Allergy Sensitivity Elimination & Reprogramming Technique to desensitize your body and reprogram the abnormal immune response.
