Nicole came to see me last week. She has been
suffering for the last three or four years from
stomach pain and has had diarrhea and cramps after
eating most of the time. A few years ago, she was
traveling with his eldest sister in Asia, and she
accidentally cut her right leg. They were a little
tipsy at the time, so she just innocently washed
her leg off in the river, not thinking of the
consequences of what might be in that water. That
was not a good idea. Since that time, she has had
stomach problems. Nikki has taken many stool
tests, extensive blood work, and has tried a
multitude of digestive enzymes and probiotics, but
has gotten no positive results so far.
In
After I
did a thorough examination, I believed her problem
is more in the Metal element where the lungs and
the large intestines are located. The lungs have
to do with respiration, energy or Qi, the exterior
of the body, our skin, and the emotions of sadness
and grief. The large intestines is the final stage
of digestion and has a lot to do with the spleen.
Nikki appears to have a form of bacterial
dysentery undetectable by Western medicine, but
the problem still exists. Chinese medicine would
call this condition as an accumulation of damp
heat. But it isn’t coming from contaminated food.
Where could the roots of the problem lie?
The treatment that we have been doing so far seems
to be working, but more information needs to be
gathered. The first thing we did was to send her
blood to the ALCAT labs to see what foods she is
sensitive to. The ALCAT test will tell us which
foods and chemicals are causing inflammation and
which are not. It provides us a personal road map
to what is good and what can’t be tolerated. It is
a live blood cell test designed to measure one’s
reaction to foods, chemicals, and molds. There’s
more than an 80% chance that Nikki is intolerant
and sensitive to the food she eats every day.
Inflammation caused by reactions are linked to a
wide variety of chronic health problems, such as
obesity and diabetes, as well as skin, heart,
joint, and digestive disorders. Symptoms can show
up hours or even days later, making it hard to
connect the dots. Elimination diets can be
effective for the big offenders, like corn,
gluten, dairy, and soy, but what about the dozens
of other foods she likes to eat? When I received
the test results, I found that there were more
than a dozen foods that Nikki could not tolerate
at this time but is eating at least half a dozen
daily, thinking they were healthy for her.
The other test that we will run is the
Computerized Regulation Thermography (CRT) to find
out what organs, meridians, and internal systems
are affecting this stomach problem. Along with the
use of herbal and complex homeopathic medicine,
both tests will help us get to the bottom of her
health issues. The symptoms are just the warning
system to let us know it is time to change habits,
diets, and patterns.
