Oh, let me tell you all a story. My husband's trusted chiropractor had his wife work with him, and she would utilize kinesiology to tell you what you were allergic to - by having you bring suspected culprit food allergens - and having you put them into your own mouth - and having you PULL HER FINGER - and she would gauge by how strong or weak your grip was whether or not you were allergic to the food.  When he told me this, I said.....and you were born yesterday?  And, you paid her for this?  And, you brought the foods with you?  And you fell for this BS?  There is a sucker born every minute.  While I think chiropractic has its place, many chiropractors overstep their boundaries.  They should not be DIAGNOSING anything, and certainly should not be practicing kinesiology.

that is sadly hilarious ^_^  and I bet they made a lot of $$$$ doing it :angry: 

 

the chiro I used to go to brought in a nurse practitioner (who can write scripts under another doctor's license) and now his waiting room is full of scumbags/pillheads.  yayyyy............ :(  I don't go there anymore.

In most states a nurse practitiioner can write scripts for most meds on their own, without a Dr.

Some states restrict narcotics/pain meds...ect to Drs. only.

 

I don't doubt this happens though.

right.  just being clear, because the chiropractor himself couldn't prescribe meds.   <which is kind of the point of getting adjusted without being dependent on pain meds) 

 

it's extra for the magic wand :o:P  seriously, that guy was good.

Did you click through enought to see that he has the nerve to charge $1000 to become a certified practioner?  He's probably trying to make more money off that nonsense filled e-summit he just had.

Yep!  That is why my plan is better!  I can print you a piece of paper for much less money!   :lol:

      Celiac pain relief

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hope you're feeling better.   I use a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine (Vitamins B 1, B12, and B6) for pain relief.  Together these vitamins together have pain killing effects (analgesic).  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete any excess.  They are safe to take.   Hope this helps.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      I did some research on what exactly is gluten . . . what defines it.  "The term gluten usually refers to the elastic network of a wheat grain's proteins, gliadin and glutenin primarily . . . " "The types of grains that contain gluten include all species of wheat (common wheat, durum, spelt, khorasan, emmer and einkorn), and barley, rye, and some cultivars of oat" (emphasis mine) "The storage proteins in other grains, such as maize (zeins) and rice (rice protein), are sometimes called gluten, but they do not cause harmful effects in people with celiac disease." (emphasis mine) From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten What I found most interesting is that some cultivars of oats contain gluten. Could this explain, in part at least, the controversy surrounding oats? I mean, depending on the source, it could indeed sometimes include gluten and cause a celiac reaction.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your point about the limitations of current testing is valid, but the idea of "molecular mimicry" with rice and corn glutens is less clear. While corn contains zein, which can trigger reactions in some celiac patients, rice is generally considered safe and lacks proteins structurally similar to gluten. The term "molecular mimicry" is often overused and not well-supported in the context of all grains. While your experience with corn is noteworthy, extending this to all grains, including rice, may not be scientifically justified. Testing and research should indeed improve, but claims about all grains causing similar reactions need more evidence.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      I think Scott speaks truth. And I think there is more to this than the prospect of her having celiac disease. If it wasn't this issue, I'm betting it would be another.

      So one does need a specific inherited gene in order to develop celiac disease, so in some way I suppose anyone with celiac disease could take the negative approach of blaming their parents for getting it, however, it also takes some other environmental trigger, such as a specific virus or other factor, and this part is not necessarily caused by the parents. Around 40% of people have the genes to get celiac disease, but only around 1% actually get it.  In any case, we could all go through life complaining about all sorts of different wrongs supposedly caused by our parents, however, it's probably a lot more healthy for everyone to try to deal with life in a more positive way and instead move forward. For most people it's probably far more important to maintain positive family relationships in life than it is to try to attach blame to family members for getting any disease.
