Testing/Treatment

"There is hardly any human disease or condition
where allergic factors are not involved."

ALLERGY TESTING AND TREATMENTS

The Vantage Stress Assessment Test

Our state-of-the-art computerized system allows us to test over 150 substances. After taking a detailed health history and discussing your past health and goals, we will begin the testing, which is both quick and painless. The Vantage System allows us to use principals of Oriental medicine to determine what items your body is not energetically compatible with. This test includes vitamins, minerals, common foods as well as the natural and artificial environment.

This system measures if/and how much the substance creates a blockage in the body’s energy system (meridians). Rather than testing one immune reaction such as an IgE reaction, this method will tell us if a substance creates any kind of immune reaction in the body-whether it is an intolerance, sensitivity, malabsorption or allergy.

You can expect your first visit to take 45 minutes to an hour.

Anyone over the age of 4 years old can be tested on this system. For those younger than four years old we may use applied kinesiology (surrogate muscle testing).

A professional computerized printout of your results will be ready on your next scheduled visit.

On your next visit we will go over your results together. We will also discuss the best treatment plan for you. There is no charge for this visit unless you decide you would like to start your treatments.

ALLERGY TREATMENTS/SESSIONS

During this session we will review and discuss your results.

We will discuss your diet and lifestyle and possibly make recommendations. Because allergies are a result of immune system dysfunction, other causes may also be discussed.

We will again explain and demonstrate how allergies affect your health. Our goal is help you regain your health and teach you how to manage your own health.

Typically a session would include acupressure, tapping, and stimulation of certain nerves, organs or glands (all non-invasive and painless). A typical session generally takes ten to twenty minutes. Supplements are rarely suggested. If there is a problem absorbing nutrients, this would be corrected during one of your first visits. If you are not absorbing calcium, for example, taking more from a bottle may just complicate the picture. The idea is to re-program the body to see calcium as a necessary part of your chemistry, rather than foreign or toxic.

Some sessions may include clearing infections, emotions or physical issues.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Every body responds differently to the sessions. Quite often a detoxification process begins shortly after the treatment. For some clients this may result in feeling tired after a treatment. For others it may include feeling very energetic, nothing at all or occasionally some pain if we are working with old injuries. These symptoms are all transient and will pass within a day or two. Experiencing these symptoms means the body is at work making repairs.

• Restore balance to the biochemical, immune and endocrine systems
• Emotional, psychological and spiritual healing
• Improve neural transmission between the hemispheres of the brain
• Remove memory of trauma and injuries on a cellular level

What is an Allergy

Allergy is a disorder of the immune system often also referred to as atopy. Allergic reactions occur to environmental substances known as allergens; these reactions are acquired, predictable and rapid. Strictly, allergy is one of four forms of hypersensitivity and is called type I (or immediate) hypersensitivity. It is characterized by excessive activation of certain white blood cells called mast cells and basophils by a type of antibody known as IgE, resulting in an extreme inflammatory response. Common allergic reactions include eczema, hives, hay fever, asthma, food allergies, and reactions to the venom of stinging insects such as wasps and bees.[1]

From Wikipedia

An allergy is a condition of unusual sensitivity of one person to one or more substances that may be harmless to the majority of individuals. In the allergic person, the allergic substance (known as an allergen), is viewed by the brain as a threat to the body’s well-being. Therefore, for our purposes, an allergy is defined in terms of what a substance does to the energy flow in the body. Allergies are the result of energy imbalances in the body, leading to a diminished state of health in one or more organ systems.

When contact is made with an allergen, it causes blockages in the energy pathways called meridians. Thought about in another way, it disrupts the normal flow of energy through the body’s electrical circuits. This energy blockage causes interference in communication between the brain and body via the nervous system. This blocked energy flow is the first step in a chain of events which can develop into an allergic response.
