Issues Related to Alternative Medicine

I have recently come to learn that I am sensitive to many foods, minerals, etc. I have been seeing an acupuncturist to relieve or heal my sensitivities to many different foods and minerals. Some of the treatments have been effective but others have not. I have just learned to avoid certain foods–like cheese-which is very hard for me because I LOVE cheese.

The most difficult I have found to treat is water. I am very senstitive to different minerals in water. So when some says have a glass of water I have to say NO unless I know where the water source came from.

I suffered for years with abdominal cramping and severe gas and bloat, with bouts of constipation and loose stool. No traditional dr would ever tell me what was wrong, just kept giving me meds and some of them made me feel worse so I wouldn’t take them. I have been an herbalist for years and I knew that food was a big factor, and now that I am almost 40 yrs old I am finally doing something about it.

I have every symptom listed on this website for food sensitivities. What they say is so True!!!

Since I stopped eating corn products the bloat in my stomach has disappeared and my stomach cramps are minimal. I am still working on finding out what else I am sensitive too but I am finally winning a battle that I thought I could never win.

One major thing is that people need to acknowledge when they are sensitive to medicines. They may not have full blown effects like what is stated on the pharmacutical warnings but medicines can effect your health in ways you would never know. Take for instance I use Celexa that was prescribed for anxiety (again another ailment from the list) I have suffered from excessive stuffy nose and runny nose since I have started it. I tested to see if I was sensitive to it–the result was POSITIVE.

I truly recommend anyone that has never had NAET allergy/sensitivity test done to find an NAET provider and have one done. NO needles no Skin Scratching–works off the energy of the item tested–It’s truly amazing and wonderful–I will never leave home without my tester.
