Seed allergy

Seed allergy

A woman brought her four-year-old daughter to me for recurring ear infections. The daughter had several rounds of antibiotics, but the ear infections kept coming back. Through careful allergy testing, I was able to determine that the little girl was lactose intolerant. The allergy tests showed that dairy products triggered the illness. These milk allergy infections were resolved within four weeks.

Inspired by the quick resolution of her daughter's problem, the mother decided to discuss a more personal issue. She reported suffering from chronic vaginal infections and wondered if dairy products were somehow triggering her situation. I informed the mother that there are several possibilities for recurrent vaginal infections:

1 – Candida (yeast)

2 – Bacteria (bacterial vaginosis)

3 – Trichomonas (parasite)

4 – HPV (human papillomavirus)

5 – Sensitivity to synthetic tampon

6 – Latex condom allergy

7 – Imbalance of flora due to birth control pills

Through kinesiology/muscle testing it was determined that the mother had an allergy to sperm. Semen is known to cause itching, burning, and discomfort. Fortunately, it was relatively easy to cure this allergy through holistic allergy care (NAET technique). The mother's symptoms cleared up completely in three sessions. Best of all, her husband was never accused of causing his wife's discomfort.

Seed allergies are not common, but they do occur. Medications for the condition are available to provide temporary relief, but often trigger new symptoms and side effects. The holistic treatments are safe and efficient in permanently eliminating allergies and irritations.

Sometimes symptoms caused by sexual intercourse can be caused by sensitivity to latex. Latex allergies or sensitivity are more common than we think.

Sometimes an allergic reaction can be due to an emotional reaction. When I think of sperm during muscle testing, her arm may become weak, indicating a stuck feeling. Through a systematic procedure called NET (Neuro Emotional Technique) it is possible to find the source of the trigger. It's important to look for biochemical allergies and emotional triggers.

There may also be a hidden infection or yeast imbalance. We all have yeast in our bodies, but taking antibiotics can cause an imbalance in our normal yeast. Taking antibiotics can also lead to an imbalance in bacteria. We all have billions of bacteria in our system, but an imbalance caused by antibiotics that solved one problem may just cause another symptom. Taking probiotics after a bacterial infection not only restores the bacterial balance in our system, but also restores the yeast balance.

Current medical research is increasingly exploring the microbiome, which has dramatic effects on our health and well-being. Children with brain problems like autism respond well to a concerted effort to balance our microbiome. Research may reveal that Alzheimer's disease can be prevented by ensuring a balanced microbiome. It's important to take a holistic perspective when treating our symptoms.

A smart approach to your optimal well-being is to utilize traditional medical care and alternative health therapies. Many doctors recognize this and have now incorporated “functional medicine” into their approach to supporting patients. The functional medicine view is to look at the underlying causes of disease rather than just administering medications to control symptoms. Considerations are made for toxins, diet, allergies, hidden infections and nutritional deficiencies. Modern medicine focuses on quick relief and a silver bullet answer to illness. It has been my experience that each individual is a complex being that requires immense investigation, rather than a slam-dunk or cookbook approach. Even though we live in a society with a fast food mentality, nature is much slower most of the time.
