Kansas City Chiropractor Helps Children and Adults with Allergy Symptoms Using Chiropractic & Total Body Modification

 So here's the thing.  Allergies are a symptom of an underlying imbalance in your body.  While they are a problem, they are an important indicator of other imbalances.  After a little background on the main causes of allergies, I will share the experience of a 3 year old with allergies and his results with Chiropractic and Total Body Modification.

 There are FIVE main causes of allergies:

1. Poor Blood Sugar Control - The Blood Sugar Control mechanism of the body is out of balance or has been damaged by poor dietary choices, waiting too long to eat, eating too much, or stress.

2. Dehydration - 64 ounces of water is only enough water if you weigh between 51-100 lbs!  The water recommendation I give ALL my patients is 1 quart/ 1 liter/ 32 ounces of water per 50 lbs. of body weight or portion thereof.  So under 50 lbs - 1 quart, 51-100 - 2 quarts, 101-150 - 3 quarts, 151-200 - 4 quarts, 201-250 5 quarts, 251-300 6 quarts, and so on.  Proper hydration ensures that your organs including brain, liver, gallbladder, kidneys and more have the proper hydration to function normally.  If drinking this much water is a drastic change for you, you may need to add a little salt to your diet in order to maintain proper sodium balance.

3. Disharmonization of Mercury: The body is exposed to Mercury in the environment and if you were vaccinated at all, many of the vaccines contain Mercury.  In the first five years of life, many children receive a huge number of vaccines and if they contain Mercury can be overwhelming to their little bodies.  Many people also have Mercury Amalgam fillings in their teeth as well, and the Mercury in these fillings can impact their health.

 4. Disharmonization to Bee:  Since everything that we eat at one point is touched by bees, pollonated by bees, or ate things that were touched or pollinated by bees, this is one of the foundational imbalances that can occur in the body.

5. Disharmonization to Bee Pollen:  Again, see number 4.  Everything that grows is going to be around Bee Pollen, touched by Bees with Pollen on them, etc.  There's no way of escaping this one either.  Also another foundational imbalance in the body.

 There may be other allergens at play, but these are the top 5 main causes of all allergies and are the first imbalances I correct with a patient seeking care for help with their allergies.

 A few weeks ago, the parents of a 3 year old brought him in seeking help for their son's allergies.  Last Spring their son had to be on Prednisone and other anti-allergy medications, some of which her steroidal, and they were looking for ways to avoid needing that this year.  They said that the medications didn't get rid of the allergies and merely made them bearable, but their son's eyes were still all puffy and swollen, and he was tired.

 After educating them on the 5 main causes of allergies, and recommending changes to their son's diet, which included a lot of juice (too much sugar) and more meat protein (mom is nearly vegetarian, but dad eats more meat, son wasn't given very much meat protein), I treated him.  I adjusted his spine including his neck, and using Total Body Modification or TBM I corrected the body circuits associated with the five main causes of allergies. 

 At his second visit, the parents reported that he was sleeping easier, snoring less, and was more enjoyable to be around.  They had increased his hydration, cut out some of the juice, decreased grains, and added more meat protein to his diet.  He did increasingly well after a few more visits, and had little to no allergy symptoms.  His eyes were bright and no itching or puffiness.  He was doing extremely well and his parents were thrilled, until a 2 week gap in care (I was on vacation) combined with a lapse in diet and hydration.  He didn't have any meat for 3 days at one point and less protein in general, and had started drinking more juice and less water.  He returned to the office with really itchy puffy eyes, dark circles, and even some little red spots on his body.  I knew the moment I saw him (before I had even talked to his parents), that he hadn't had enough protein or water.  I rechecked all of the basics, reinforced the critical importance of hydration and protein intake, and blood sugar control, and adjusted him. The parents were taking him for a high protein/low carb meal immediately after his appointment to start rebalancing his blood sugar control mechanism.

Allergies are a symptom of a chronic imbalance in the body, and cannot be addressed without looking at blood sugar control and hydration.  I educate all of  my patients on how to eat and hydrate to avoid chronic problems like allergies.   If you or someone you know is looking for alternatives that balance their body and decrease their allergy symptoms, please forward this to them or call me. 

 Better Health (and a Better Spring Season) is just a phone call away!
