The Ear - Health Conditions that #Auriculotherapy could help

Auriculotherapy is the stimulation of the auricle of the external ear for the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in other parts of the body. It is also called ear acupuncture. Specific points on the ear can also be stimulated by manual pressure, needles, magnets, laser, and/or infra red light.

Auriculotherapists believe that healing processes can be promoted by working with these points on the ear, because the ear contains many blood vessels and nerve endings that, when stimulated, influence the organs and bodily functions. Because every part of the external ear connects through the microsystems remote reflexes to very part of the body, a wide variety of health problems are relieved by auriculotherapy. Almost all health conditions can be affected to some degree by stimulating reactive ear points. Call us today for a FREE consultation at 713.339.2000 or visit www.DrJohnAlderson.com 

How to diagnose #Neuropathy and what type of #nerves are affected?

Peripheral Neuropathy refers to the conditions that result when nerves that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord from and to the rest of the body are damaged or diseased.

The peripheral nerves make up an intricate network that connects the brain and spinal cord to the muscles, skin and internal organs. Peripheral nerves come out of the spinal cord and are arranged along lines in the body called dermatomes. Typically, damage to a nerve will affect one or more dermatomes, which can be tracked to specific areas of the body. Damage to these nerves interrupts communication between the brain and other parts of the body and can impair muscle movement, prevent normal sensation in the arms and legs, and cause pain.

Types of Peripheral Neuropathy

There are several different kinds of peripheral neuropathies that stem from a variety of causes. They range from carpal tunnel syndrome (a traumatic injury common after chronic repetitive use of the hands and wrists, such as with computer use) to nerve damage linked to diabetes.

Diabetic Neuropathy

It is one of the most common forms of peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage occurs in an ascending pattern. The first nerve fibers to malfunction are the ones that travel the furthest from the brain and the spinal cord. Pain and numbness often are felt symmetrically in both feet followed by a gradual progression up both legs. Later, the fingers, hands, and arms may become affected.

Acupuncture is a lifestyle! Do you know how acupuncture works?

Acupuncture is a health science, which is used to successfully treat both pain and dysfunction in the body.

Acupuncture has its roots deeply planted in China. In fact, authorities agree the science is between 5,000 and 7,000 years old. Its use spread throughout ancient Egypt, the Middle East, the Roman Empire and later into Western Europe as merchants and missionaries to China told of the amazing discoveries the people of the Orient had developed.

Acupuncture did not become known on a national level in the US until 1971 when diplomatic relations between China and America were relaxed. At first glimpse, Acupuncture appears strange, as its primary notoriety is the utilization of needles placed in the skin at various locations to relieve pain or affect a body part. Early Chinese physicians discovered there is an energy network traversing just below the surface of the skin, which communicates from the exterior to the internal organs and structures over 1,000 “Acupoints” on the body. This energy works in harmony with the body’s circulatory, nervous, muscular, digestive, genitourinary and all other systems of the body. When this vital energy becomes blocked or weakened, an effect in a body system or anatomic location becomes evident. Stimulation of one or a combination of key “Acupoints” on the body may restore harmony to the affected area.

Should chiropractic care continue even after I feel fine?

Chiropractors are trained to detect problem areas in your spine before they develop into problem conditions or symptoms. Just because symptoms disappear, does not mean your subluxations are corrected. Regular adjustments help to maintain or support a healthy spine and nervous system. Maintenance or wellness spinal care programs, which may include advice on posture, nutrition and exercise, can effectively prevent pain. However, how you choose to use chiropractic care is ultimately up to you. If your spine wears out, there is no solution. Because your spine directly influences the function of your nervous system, spinal decay permanently damages the nerves and spinal cord. Nearly everyone flosses and brushes their teeth even though their teeth don’t hurt. Spinal adjustments are like flossing the spine. Lifetime care of the spine should be a priority for everyone in Houston!

How does Alderson Chiropractic Clinic help Houston residents?

The body is a self-healing and self-regulating organism:

• The nerve system controls and coordinates all of the functions in the body.

• Any interference with the nerve system inhibits the body’s ability to regulate and heal itself.

• Interference to the nerve system is most commonly cause by misalignment of the bones of the spine called “subluxations.”

• Subluxations” are most often caused by slips and falls, car accidents, stress, poor posture, poor sleep habits, sports impacts, birth process, etc.

• Maintaining a healthy and well-aligned spine enhances the body’s ability to get well and stay well.

5 steps to feeling better - Restore an Alkaline Body ph

Step 1: Restore an Alkaline Body pH

TESTING URINE pH
The first goal on the way to great health is to restore the body’s pH to the alkaline range. Almost all chronic illness takes place in a body that has become acidic due to the gradual depletion of its mineral reserves. The state of the body’s acid/alkaline balance can be easily measured by testing the urine using pH paper. If the first morning urine pH is acidic or alkaline ( the first morning urine is defined as the first urination after 5 AM)

TESTING THE URINE pH
If the first morning urine pH is acidic (a pH below 6.4), this indicates the body is in a state of physiological dysregulation and distress due to lack of sufficient minerals which are needed to adequately carry out thousands of basic cellular functions. Our immediate first goal is to restore a consistently alkaline first morning urine pH ( within the range of 6.4 to 7.0) by using fast-acting coral minerals (which are highly ionized and easily absorbed). The next step is to begin testing the evening urine pH (best measured just before the dinner meal around 5 or 6 PM)

The pH Trio
The three synergistic products are Coral Legend, Aloe Drink and Cod Liver Oil. If there is infection in the bone Bone and Joint Complex are added.

Rapid improvement of the pH is seen in most cases when no infection is present. Many Americans over age 30 have a low grade, chronic infection mostly from dental and intestinal infectins. Americans often consume high-protein diets. The heavy protein diets rapidly exhaust the body’s mineral reserves. People who are on high-protein diets show an erratic urine pH in the evening. An evening urine pH that bobs in and out of the alkaline can be a marker of chronic infection. The best approach is to gradually decrease high protein consumption to normal levels eliminating all infections.

HCL Detox Therapy
One of the least expensive and most effective methods to help the body overcome and eliminate chronic infections and immune exhaustion is HCL Detox Therapy. The three products are Betaine HCL, HCL Activator and Digest.

Step 2: Stabilize Hormone Balance

Hormones are internal messengers which are necessary to control and regulate the body’s process. Chronic illiness leads to hormonal exhaustion. The next step is to identify and support the glands which need more support to produce a sufficient amount of their hormones. Hormone deficiency can lead to global body symptoms such as sleep dysregulation, difficulty with the bowels, chronic fatigue, the inability to exercise and can negatively influence literally any organ or gland in the body.

The Most Common Areas Which May Need Support Are:

Pituitary/Hypothalamic Support
If the pituitary is weak or toxic, there may be runaway, allergic-type reactions

Adaptogen provides support for the pituitary neuro-endocrine axis. This product supports to rebalance the entire brain and adrenal neuroendocrine system.

Gold 360 contains the only live, viable stem cell source for cell rejuvenation. It supports the kidneys, adrenals, brain, pituitary, hypothalamus and thyroid.

Adrenal/Pituitary Support
The most common hormonal imbalance is adrenal dysfunction. Adrenal stress is epidemic in America. The adrenals play 3 key roles: 1) fluid balance, 2) helps settle inflammation in the body when needed, 3) provides sufficient energy to et through each day.

When a person doe not get 5 continuous hours of sleep at night, often there will be adrenal exhaustion. Since a key role of the adrenals is to hold moisture in the intestines, when the adrenals are stressed, there may be hard stools for bowel eliminations.

Adrenal Complex is often used together with Adaptogen to support the adrenals and spleen.

Max Stress B Nano-Plex are B vitamins which are used by the adrenals to upregulate adrenal hormone production and by the liver and brain to deliver instantaneous upregulation in their function.

Reproductive Hormone Support
The first goal of natural hormone therapy is to support the hormone-related organs to balance hormone production. The next step is to detoxify the hormone-related organs (especially liver and pituitary) for the most efficient functioning of hormone usage. Lastly,the goal is to keep the body’s hormones in balance by providing the nutrients the body needs to adequately produce its own hormones.

Multi-Pollen Extract
It provides 18 different European pollens (with over 500 different bioflavonoids) for maximum whole-body hormone support. Multi-Pollen support female and male reproductive hormone balance. It also helps strength the bladder to support healthy urination and the prostate.

Thyroid Support
Low thyroid hormone levels (hypothyroidism) are commonly the result of stress, heavy metal exposure/toxicity, inadequate dietary nutrients, low iodine intake, low progesterone levels.
Because of the key role the thyroid plays in hormone regulation, a toxic thyroid can create create false thyroid suppression. After adequately detoxifying the thyroid, many women who have been on synthetic thyroid medication for years have been able to eliminate these medications.

Thyroid Complex
Often heavy metals, infection and/or radiation damage may impair the thyroid’s function

HM Nano-Detox
HM Nano-Detox an anti-infective formula may be used along with Thyroid Complex as needed to rapidly recover optimal thyroid function and detoxification, especially in heavy metal toxicity.

Super Nano-Green Tea
Super Nano-Green Tea is the most effective radiation detox therapy for the thyroid and parathyroid and is proven support for rapid body recovery from radiation damage.

Step 3: Detoxify the Body

Identify current toxic body burden and begin appropriate detoxification protocols So great is the exposure and bio-accummulation of toxic chemicals, such as heavy metals, pesticide/insecticide residues and industrial chemicals, that detox nutritional support be individualized for each person.

1) Deep Cellular Detoxification
HCL Detox and Activator HCL does deep cellular detoxification and remethylation.

2) Heavy Metal Detoxication
To help cleanse heavy metal deposits from the brain, kidney, bowels, thyroid, and parathyroid.

HM Nano Detox
HM Detox

Pesticide/Insecticide Detoxification
Citrus Pectin helps eliminate the stubborn residues of pesticides, insecticides and other chemical toxins

Kidney Support

Kidney Complex is a blood purifying properties of this extract which helps download the toxic burden on the kidneys and bowels.

Liver/Gallbladder Support

Gallbladder Nanto-Detox
Immunocidin
Max Stress Nano-Plex
Digest

Deep Lymphatic Drainage

Immunocidin degranulates the rock hard type lymph deposits, such as found in the groin or breast area.

Step 4: Eliminate Chronic Infections

More than 1 in 2 people according to the Centers for Disease most Americans are chronically ill. Most chronic illness is really due to infection. We must first identify specific nutritional deficiencies, and the provide therapeutic amounts of quality nutrients to enable the body to heal itself. Next, we must remove as many sources of toxic exposure as possible, detoxify the body of bio-accumulated toxins and use specialty up-regulating nutrients to help the body rapidly overcome infections.

Immune-Specific Support
When the body is fighting infection, all nutrients essential for life need to be generously supplied Super Trio delivers an abundant amount of these nutrients.
Coral Complex
Green Mix
EFA Oil Blend

The Super Trio provides broad-spectrum nutritional support. With the SuperFood Trio as a solid nutritional foundation, we are ready to provide the following for solid immune-specific support:

Broad-Base Immune Support

Colostrum helps support the immune system Nucleotide dead stop colds/flu and reduce injury recovery time up to 67%.

Chronic Immune-Specific Support

Immune Complex is important when the body is dealing with nanobacteria.
Allicidin has a kill rate against a broad-spectrum of infectious organisms.

Biofilm Elimination
Over 99% of all infections are now know to live in biofilms. Biofilms are thick, sticky polysaccharide sacs. When a bilfilm’s mass enlarges greater than 15 mm in diameter, it is beyond the capability of the macrophage’s immune attack and neccessitates the use of biofilm destructive nutrients.

Betaine HCL and HCL Activator
These products eliminate chronic biofilms. If used aggressively, it can elicit strong detox symptoms such as cold/flu symptoms, runny nose, fever, achy joints, etc.)

Allicidin
Allicidin provides gentle biofilm detoxification by delivery of unstable sulfur compunds which reduces the detox load to the kidney and liver

Step 5: Rejuvenate the Body’s System

Lean-Body Whey Protein Blend

Adaptogen Complex
It provides immune-boosting support, delivering increased energy, DNA repair, antioxidant protection and peak performance, including upregulation of the hormones in the brain as well as supporting adrenals
