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:

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Inconclusive results

      By Wends · Posted

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
