I went to the chiropractor to check out the allergy elimination technique he uses. He has 150 vials with foods, chemicals, and viruses, and things like ashtray smell. Using muscle testing, which I know is a controversial subject, he started testing alphabetically.
I reacted negatively to the one labeled camplylobacter. Campylobacter pylori is the other name for Helicobacter Pylori. The chiropractor can't make a diagnosis, but just observe that I reacted to that particular substance. But that's how I got clued into the fact the h. pylori might be my current problem. It's what prompted me to get tested by my doctor.
If it wasn't for the chiropractor, I would have assumed that I was just having a food reaction when my tummy hurt, and I would probably not have gone to my PCP for quite some time. And, when I did, who knows if they would have checked me for h. pylori. As it was, my PCP said that it was highly unlikely that I would test positive for h. pylori, but she agreed to test me.
It was uncanny how the chiropractor picked up my intolerances....apples, chicken, and cabbage---since you only start with three. That is just way beyond coincidental. I had been eating chicken recenlty, but kept feeling like it was causing me trouble. The apples and cabbage I've had for awhile.
He doesn't even try to clear foods if you are not on a good diet and taking care of your body...because it won't work. And, he probably can't clear them with the h. pylori in full force. But I'm quite convinced about the efficacy of the treatment, and plan to give it a try once I've treated the h. pylori. I'm not saying it's the answer for everyone, but I think it might work for me.
One of the best things about the session was finding out what foods I can eat! Things I've been avoiding because I had a problem with them in the past. Bananas and carrots tested fine so I've added them back in to my diet, and they seem fine so far.
And on top of that, the treatment was so incredibly relaxing. I was like a pile of jello. It was worth it for that alone!
I know there's healthy skepticim about this sort of thing, but I myself had a positive experience.
Be well, Celia

Celia,
I'm not familiar with "muscle testing," so how does that work? I assume that it is injected, but what constitutes a reaction?
Do you happen to know what the odds are of false negatives (I don't guess there are false positives) for H. pylori, are there?
Those little buggers seem to be everywhere these days, don't they? Ha!
Glad something's working!
Yours, Luce

Luce,
Nothing is injected. You simply hold the vial or a substance in your hand or sometimes put it in your mouth (but not h. pylori) and the practioner tests the strenght of a muscle, first without the substance, than with the substance,by putting pressure against the muscle. For example, if it's your arm muscle, normally you can hold your arm up when someone puts their hand on it and gently presses down. If you are holding a vial, and can't keep the arm up with the gentle pressures, that shows a reaction to the substance.
You might google muscle testing and see what you come up with. It's a little hard to explain in writing, since it's a physical maneuver!
There have been some studies on it and the rate of false negatives varies. I think a lot depends on the practitioner. My husband and I both noticed that we both test better with Dr. Weck rather than his wife, but his wife still picks stuff up. Of course, you can spend tons of money on this stuff and not get good results so you have to be careful to find the right person.

Celia---I didnt know that a chiropractor does allergy testing with all these vials???
I thought they just did the re-alignement of parts of the body that were outta place??
Gee I am going to ask my chiropractpr about all this testing too!!!
Very interesting

Barbara,
Some chiropractors are mainstream and only do chiropractic adjustments. Others do nuritional counseling as well. I've been to two chiropractors that test reactions to foods with muscle testing. With one, you brought food you wanted tested. This one uses the vials, which is more systematic and comprehensive, but, of course, doesn't include every single food. Just lots of the main ones. He is testing your reaction to the 'vibration' of the food.
Bear in mind, if your doctor is mainstreatm he will probably find this very wacky!!!!
So far I've tested negatively to:
chocolate
cabbage
appple
chicken
flax
I also tested negatively for:
dog hair
ashtrays
He also tested the immonglobulins and I tested weak on IgG and IgC.
After the testing, he gives you a treatment to help "clear" those reactions. He can't clear dairy or wheat, but he has had success with most other foods.
With the H. Pylori infection, I don't know if I will be able to get completely clear until I effect some level of healing of the stomach lining and start on the protocol my naturopath has given me. But the treatments are so nurturing and nourishing, I am going to continue through the alphabet. And, I've been able to expand my diet as a result, so that's a very good thing for me!
By the way, he said that it is very common for C1 to be out (or rotated? don't remember which) in people with food allergies (immediate or delayed). Mind is out and so is my husbands.
It will be interesting to hear what your chiro says. I wouldn't be surprised if he is skeptical.
Lots of love,
Celia
