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:

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.

      Greetings Trents and Scott. This is the first time I'm posting here so I apologize in advance if I'm not replying properly. My 13 YO was diagnosed at age 5 and once gluten was removed from his diet, he grew 3" in a year, skin became much better and dark circles around his eyes disappeared. Today his numbers were very high and our new dietician discovered his face cream (Clinique dramatically different lotion) contained gluten. My fault for not checking.    His acne really has only just started and he's using OCT gluten-free products but the SHIELD is nothing short of miraculous for my 16 YO son and the 13 YO is eager to start. I will await his dietician's reply or google each ingredient.    I don't want to put him on that Rx as it's not that bad and isn't painful either. Just a boy starting 8th grade and doesn't want bad acne.    When I hear back I will circle back.

      That happened to me as well @trents! I always wondered it that regimen caused my celiac disease!

      I see nothing in the ingredient list that concerns me from a gluten intolerant perspective. Historically, how has your 13 yr. old been treated for his acne? When I was a teenager I had acne issues (this was in the 1960s) and was put on a long term regimin of tetracycline. It helped the acne but I am convinced it altered my gut microbiome and contributed to the development of celiac disease.

      Hello. My 13 YO son has celiac disease and terrible acne. Our older son, not celiac disease is using a product that is new on the mkt within the last few years called SHIELD. Body wash, cream and patches. Wonderful results. I contacted the Co and they were very helpful but definitely suggested we contact our G.I. specialist, I have done so but I have not heard back from her. Below is the correspondence with the company and I was wondering if anyone here could please tell me whether or not these ingredients are safe.     Hi Lynn, thank you for reaching out and for your interest in our products! To ensure transparency, here is the full list of ingredients used in our products. While we do not add gluten-containing ingredients, we always recommend reviewing the list below if you have sensitivities or allergies. Moisturizer Ingredients: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Squalane Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer Niacinamide Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract Glycerin Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Oil Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerine Face Wash Ingredients: Active: 4.0% Benzoyl Peroxide (Curoxyl-42) Inactive: Water Sodium C14-16 Alpha Olefin Sulfonate Propylene Glycol Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine Glycerin Ceramide NP Ceramide AP Ceramide EOP Phytosphingosine Cholesterol Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate Carbomer Xanthan Gum Phenoxyethanol Niacinamide Sodium Hyaluronate Propanediol Glycolic Acid Tetrasodium EDTA Ethylhexylglycerin Pimple Patches: Hydrocolloid Body Wash Ingredients: Active: 4.0% Benzoyl Peroxide Inactive: Water Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine Propylene Glycol Sodium Hyaluronate Niacinamide Ceramide NP Ceramide AP Ceramide EOP Phytosphingosine Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate Propanediol Glycolic Acid Tetrasodium EDTA Sodium Hydroxide Carbomer Acrylates Copolymer Xanthan Gum Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin If you have a gluten allergy, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use, just to be safe.
