New chiro/naturpath dr.

[mom2ck]

I had a referral to a chiropractor/naturopath dr. from a friend for my son as I have been questioning the allergies. We had done a blood allergy test with the DAN dr. and it didn't show much. However, she and I both suspected their were allergies. Anyhow, we went to the appt. yesterday and through the muscle test she tested for the basics. In the basics, he came back sensitive to corn, mold/yeast, wheat, eggs, and one other. She said because he has so many she thinks there is more to it. She wants to do the test to test for Gluten and DNA gene. She said she believes he has candida or leaky gut syndrome. I have read about these condidtions on here, but am a little skeptical. I believe she is wanting to help people; She has been in this business for 25 years. However, it is just hard to take all of this in right now. And when others ask, esp. my mom I hate to even tell them as people don't understand and want explanations. I am tired of explaining!

 

She treated him for corn yesterday which was also weird. The whole time he was holding the corn vial he was ticcing non-stop. So, today I kept him out of school so I can watch everything he eats and drinks. He was very angry with me last night, but has came around today as he got to stay home from school. I asked about how long it lasted and the way they acted if it works it works forever. Again, just don't quite understand.

 

Can anyone help me understand all of this a little better so I know that I am doing the right thing and not just wasting $.

 

Thanks

Hi Christy,

I understand about the muscle testing, but is there a treatment here that you're inquiring about? Is this NAET? is she doing any kind of treatment to eliminate the sensitivity or the allergy? interesting about the corn vial,...why did he have to stay home the next day?

 

thanks

Yes, it is NAET. And she treated him for corn. He didn't have to stay home from school, but my husband nor I thought we could trust him to not get something that had corn in it. You have to not have it for 25 hours or the treatment won't work as I understand. It was just easier to stay home and monitor what he ate.

 

I guess my questions are, does this work for many? Is it long-lasting? Do you have to avoid these foods afterwards? How long to notice any results? And if it is a yeast problem or leaky gut syndrome, is this treated by probiotics? I just don't know much about this area other than what I have read on here and what I learned at the Dr's. office. Just so many questions, still.

 

He is on IP6 and Oxy powder that was prescribed from his DAN dr. We need to go back and see her too, but not sure I want to. We started with her doing an IGg and IGe test which she thought wasn't correct as it came back with little allergies. So, we had to go back through a very aweful time of a blooddraw. She sent the blood back to same co for a test and using the other for a $400 test without telling me how much it was and not knowing if my insurance would pay. Also this same test had been run 2 months prior by the psychiatrist. I gave her the information. Now she wants another $400+ test for Vit. D. I feel like she just wants test after test. I don't have the $ to keep doing this. Just don't feel the trust now in this Dr. as I had wrote the check for a different test $149 and never got that test. Now she doesn't want that one but a different one. I did get my $ back for it, but I want information up front.

Another thing, when I go in or have a telephone appt., I have to repeat things that are in the file. And then she recommended Clonidine and sent me information on it after I told her he would never be on it again! I specifically told her I wanted supplements as we were done with medicine. I guess just aggravated with her and now wondering if NAET is the answer or what I should do.

 

Sorry for rambling, but lots of thoughts going through my mind

Hi

 

some have had much success with NAET. Patty can tell you a lot about it too.

 

you are absolutely correct to be cautious with the way the DAN doc is handling the testing as some alternative practitioners are not necessarily as good, or cost effective as others. this is true of all branches of healthcare but sadly especially so in alternative therapy where often people are desperate for results and there is less regulation on charges etc. It doesnt sound like the DAN doc is being careful at keeping you informed or in staying informed herself on your child's files
