You have entrusted me with your health and wellness. I take that responsibility seriously by continuing my study of the latest chiropractic, applied kinesiological and nutritional research in order to provide the best in care and service to you.

Here you will find a blend of old fashioned doctoring where you are listened to and treated w/ courtesy and dignity, where your time is valuable, where you are not part of today’s assembly line health care and where I use Applied Kinesiology (AK) as part of my practice.

AK, as founded by Dr. George Goodheart, incorporates under its umbrella the many branches of holistic healing including chiropractic, extremity adjustment, muscle balancing, cranial-sacral therapy, TMJ (jaw) tech., nutrition, acu-point therapy, neuro-vascular, neuro-lymphatic therapies and more.

My goal is to motivate and help you reach a higher level of health and to actualize your potential. I do this through the ability to determine why the body is not functioning as a system, to get the body working together as it is intended, and help you clear stressors that often impede health and happiness.

I believe that good health is a process and not an event. Therefore I ask that you take responsibility in the healing process as you learn why your health problem has occurred and what you can do to help stop and reverse the problem.

In this process, you might be a little sore after the first or second treatment as I am trying to restore the normal biomechanical motion and proper nerve, muscle and organ function that may have been lost due to years of  bad posture, trauma, infections, faulty nutrition and other stresses.  

In other words, I am trying to remove an unhealthy pattern that has developed over the years and this pattern takes awhile to be removed, sometimes a temporary minor relapse may even occur.

Because of this, I will be recommending that you come in for a series of treatments perhaps once a week for a month and than every two weeks until the pattern is broken and health restored. In order to help in this process, I may also be recommending some nutritional supplements, exercises, stretches and lifestyle changes. When I have restored your body to a more normal and healthy function, I will then be recommending a maintenance / preventative program for you.

I’m looking forward to working with you in this process.

on first visit, April 1, we were all VERY acidic (pH testing 5.25). we all had less than HALF the normal oxygen profusion levels in our blood (meaning oxygen is in our blood, but not getting to our tissues, which is common with CO poisoning).

we all showed to be EXTREMELY inflamed, toxic, have tissue degeneration and emotional stress. we had formaldehyde and hydrocarbons in our systems. our adrenals, thyroid and liver, and pancreas were taxed, our blood sugar levels were unstable, there were heavy metals in our system, and CNS problems.

over the next several visits, we managed to desensitize a fair amount to formaldehyde,  and it was notable. i could stand in my kitchen without getting a headache for longer periods of time and walk in a store without wanting to pass out and hiding my nose in my elbow. (my kitchen had BRAND new particle board and marble cabinets installed right before i moved in, and even healthy people got headaches from the off-gassing from them.) at the same time, i was getting rid of more and more items that caused me problems.

we were using only these on our bodies (bathing, teeth and deodorant):

our entire line of hygeine products

and these to do laundry:

entire line of laundry products

but petrochemicals and hydrocarbons were uncovered after formaldehyde was cleared and i figured there was no point to continue much longer without doing a complete overhaul or our entire systems.

anyone who has ever gone through a detox or rebuilding of their system understands that it’s like an onion. you need to build it up before you tear it apart. and the most urgent issues come forward first, then layer after layer, things will present themselves to be addressed. the more toxic you are, the gentler you must go, or you’ll throw your body into shock.
i want it to go fast. really fast… but we couldn’t. we can’t.

we can detect an ‘_oxides’ from a far distance, and we can’t even be NEAR polyester or ANYTHING soft. we own NOTHING soft.

as opposed to just chemically scented things like fabric softener… 99% of american living relies of the use of a product made from petrochemicals!! including nylon, polyester, glues, stains, paints, cosmetics, fuel, ALL plastics, rubber… basically EVERY SINGLE THING surrounding you right this second, that is not glass, cotton or bare unpainted metal.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrochemical#Petrochemicals_products
ALL those things make us sick. there is nowhere to hide.

i still, even weeks later don’t know how people with severe mcs own anything soft.

after a few weeks with my first doc, i didn’t get a nosebleed in over a weeks time. i could drive my van without my throat swelling shut and my losing my voice (with mask). i could sometimes stand in my kitchen withOUT a mask and run tap (unfiltered) water without pain in my joints and my jaw tightening up. it’s a big deal, because i couldn’t even be near running water due to the chlorine.

things were changing, but it seemed two steps forward, one step back every time. and even though we had improvement, the office created such unbearable pain and headaches, it took 2 days to detox from the environment itself. we needed bloodwork and a treatment plan which included nutrition, so we had to move on…

On Sat May 28th – this office will be offering free 15 minute AK-Muscle testing for Food Allergies & Food Intolerances from 3pm to 5pm.

Those wishing to participate need to make an appointment for a time slot for that day before Sat. May 28^th. Please call 212-431-3724

Testing will be limited to Five (5) food substances that participants will bring to the exam. Participants are advised to bring a separate food to test not a combination substance, for example: whole wheat flour as opposed to a slice of bread.

Samples should be less than ½ an ounce and individually wrapped.

Participants are advised that testing will involve chewing of the food sample; so please do not bring any food that you have had previous serious reactions to such as swelling, coughing, trouble breathing, or any other anaphylactic (life threatening) reaction.

This office will ask that you sign a disclaimer stating:” I have been advised that the testing involves chewing certain food samples that I have bought to this test.

I have been told not to bring any food that I have had previous serious reaction to such as swelling, coughing, trouble breathing, or any other anaphylactic (life threatening) reaction.

I will not hold this office liable for any injuries or damages due to food testing/ingestion.

I have read and understood Dr. Repetto’s articles on Food Allerigies/Food Intolerances http://drvittoriarepetto.wordpress.com/2010/05/15/it%e2%80%99s-not-a-food-allergy-maybe-it%e2%80%99s-a-food-intolerance/ and her article on The Correct Use of Muscle Testing in Nutritional Evaluation in Applied Kinesiology http://drvittoriarepetto.wordpress.com/2010/01/17/the-correct-way-to-do-nutritional-evaluation-by-muscle-testing-in-applied-kinesiology/

I realize that this testing is for educational purposes only and does not replace laboratory testing for food allergies and food intolerances. I have been advised to always consult my health practitioner in matters of health and disease”

May 20th 2011 – Quantum Kinesiology (QK).  Dr Ciprian & Eleni visit with Dr Rudy Amicay and discuss how QK utilizes quantum mechanics, Eastern medicine, Homeopathy, Applied Kinesiology, Chiropractic and supplementation, while identifying six realms of the body: physical, chemical, structural, emotional, electromagnetic, and spiritual.

When interviewed recently, Dr. Strauman stated, “Many people do not realize the extent of their injuries when they have been in an car accident. This is because when a body goes into shock, it can take several hours or days before it begins to feel pain. By visiting my office as soon as possible after an accident, we can begin a healing program before swelling, stiffness and pain begin. In most cases, an individual will be able to maintain their regular activities with minimal pain and will not have a lengthy recovery period.”

The doctor examines the patient to determine the areas of the body that have been injured. He will begin a holistic program that includes both low-force chiropractic care and alternative therapies to more quickly reduce swelling and inflammation. Massage therapy is often included to stimulate the circulation to areas that have been damaged. Massage increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the injured parts of the body.

Summary: Dr. Charles Strauman, Minneapolis chiropractor, has been recognized for his effective approach in addressing the pain and injuries of individuals who have been injured in auto accidents. The doctor uses a holistic approach that includes both low-force chiropractic manipulation and other therapies such as deep tissue massage to help the body heal more quickly without the need for medication or a long recovery period.

When interviewed recently, Dr. Strauman stated, “I focus my practice on helping individuals who are in pain, to resume their normal activities without the need for medication or invasive surgery. Many people are suffering from low back pain as a result of a sedentary job that requires them to sit for several hours each day in the same position. There is tremendous pressure placed on the lower back. When a person doesn’t get the proper diet and exercise, the discs in the spine can easily become compressed and pinch nerves that will affect other body parts. I address the whole body and find the root cause of the pain so that the body can heal more effectively.”

The doctor uses low-force manipulation to realign the discs in the spine and relieve pressure on the pinched nerves. In addition, he employs other alternative therapies, such as massage therapy, to address swelling, inflammation and stiffness. After relieving the immediate pain, the doctor will begin a program to address other areas of the body that have been damaged or injured as a result of the misaligned discs.

Dr. Strauman will evaluate the diet, lifestyle and exercise of an individual to determine what steps can be taken to improve and enhance the strength of the muscle groups supporting the spine. He may recommend an increase of nutrients to the body that are required to heal and regenerate more quickly. The doctor will often promote exercises that are specifically focused on the areas of the body that need to be strengthened.

to find out how i really got here, read About Me.

right now, it seems that every second of every hour of every day is consumed with doing something, or thinking about how to do something, to fix our situation. or cooking. or doing laundry (until my dryer died). or looking for and killing insects. or taking pills. or charting taking of said pills. or driving to doctors. or or or.

i went to my functional med, AK chiro doc today for the third time. she’s my third doctor and the one we’re staying with. i feel lucky to have found her so soon.

the first doc we saw for MCS was also an AK chiro, and helped desensitize us from formaldehyde (it really worked), gave us hope when we thought we were going to die, and gave us a start in SOME manner. but nutrition is KEY and he just didn’t do that part. i think he was simply overwhelmed with our complex illness. in any case, we couldn’t handle the off-gassing from the office, as it made us all so sick for the next two days, we couldn’t benefit from the work until the office triggers wore off.

the second was a western medical toxicologist who doesn’t even believe in MCS, or environmental medicine. didn’t care if we all had the same symptoms from the same exposure and basically told us we needed cognitive behavioral therapy if our test results came out normal. she told us not to let those alternative doctors convince us we need all kinds of herbs, or cleanses and what-not.
i was hoping for documentation, but it was $200+ down the drain.

well, our blood tests did NOT come out normal. in fact, they came out pretty fucked up… but i wasn’t going back there just to give her a ‘told-you-so’ when she has no idea how to treat us for something she doesn’t even believe in.

~

it’s may 20th, almost 4 months since we moved from the monoxide/meth house and developed MCS. since then, a tremendous amount of our stuff has been given away, sold or thrown away. it took time to realize what was happening to us and set our mission to stop it. bless the internet.

we sleep on cotton blankets on an empty bedroom floor and sit on cotton blanket on the hard tiled living room. we have no furniture, no chairs or tables or beds or dressers.  we still need to get rid of, or go through, the rest of things we hide in a closet and in the back yard. we’re too sensitive to open the closet door and stir anything up, and my back yard looks like someone had a yard sale and left the remnants spewed all over the place.

our beds 4-11

i’m only one person, though all my life i always felt like two.

now i feel like a non-person. we all do. we’re existing. we’re not living and none of us have an idea of who we are.

it’ll be interesting to see…

The good news is, I have developed a remedy that seems to work miracles on both. I am not going to get into the physiology of it here, but the formula I have come up with, after 24 years in practice, to help with spring allergies and weight loss, is becoming known to my patients as “Dr. C’s Spring Cleaning Drink” to help with Weight Loss and Allergies.

The formula for Dr. C’s Spring Cleaning Drink is:

Dandelion root and apple cider vinegar. That’s right, dandelion root and apple cider vinegar mixed with 6 oz of water. Have this three times a day between meals and before bedtime.

1) Dandelion: It’s almost as if nature has those pesky dandelions to help us with these 2 common spring time problems. Dandelion is known to help with digestion, liver and kidney function and as a blood purifier. It is believed to get bile flowing, and the fat with it, as well as a diuretic to shed excess water weight. I believe that it can desensitize people to spring time allergens, perhaps by helping the liver.

2) Apple cider vinegar: This product has been used as a weight loss remedy for thousands of years. It may help you to feel full, or just help with digestion. Either way it seems to work. Same with allergies. I know getting alkaline is the current rage, and with good reason, but Dr. Royal Lee, who started Standard Process, the oldest vitamin company in the country, made some compelling points about acidifying the body (intelligently) to help with allergies and arthritis.

Good Brands:

You can use Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar or Heinz. Both yield ideal results.

Naturally check with your physician before starting anything new for possible side effects see here.

For dandelion root, I like to use Nature’s Answers Alcohol Free and follow the instructions on how to use it 3 times a day. You can also add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to this to make the spring cleaning drink.

When taking Apple Cider Vinegar, Brush Your Teeth Immediately

Make sure you brush your teeth immediately after drinking apple cider vinegar due to the acidity of the vinegar. If you don’t want to bother with adding this to the dandelion, then just do a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar right before bed then brush your teeth with a good baking soda toothpaste like Tom’s or Arm and Hammer.

This should help you to become more active and enjoy the beautiful springtime with clear eyes and nose and a leaner waist.

Stay healthy and stay positive.

We all share a connection to God or Consciousness. We are all a part of it and it connects us all. We can also use the infinite light and energy we all inherently have access to in order to project ourselves into the past or the future. Time is but a measurement of our position in the universe. We are therefore not limited to the present moment(though it could be debated that the present moment is all there is).

Remote Viewing is a technique which can be used to achieve this. It has been developed over the past 20+ years by the United States military and other countries. Remote Viewing is not the only technique used to tap into the knowledge of the Universe. Kinesiology, the science of human movement also can.

This technique was pioneered by David Hawkins(not Hawkings) and others, and is known as muscle testing. Muscle testing has given us a structured system behind essentially asking questions to the field of consciousness known as god. The difference between remote viewing and kinesiology is that in remote viewing you are able to see using the minds eye; where as kinesiology gives a binary response to something based on a positive or negative response. The frequency of positive or negative response varies and it can be used to refine the understanding specific response. Pendulum’s can also be used as alternatives to muscle testing.

This brings up an interesting questions? Do we have the ability to sense the truthfulness or falsity of something? Based on the binary logic inherent in muscle testing I would have to say, yes. Our bodies at least have the ability to sense whether something has an electromagnetically positive or negative response to something. So if we translate that into the answer of a yes or no question; we can base our electromagnetic response to it, to measure its validity. These positive and negative responses can be sensed and do not necessarily have to be determined. Thus we can add the sense of positive or negative electromagnetic response to stimuli to our list of senses.

Since we have the ability to sense past, present and future could we not add those to the list as well? Or since time is but a measurement of our position in the universe; and past, present, and future are all parts of the same unit of measurement couldn’t we say we have the sense of time itself rather then the sense of points in time? Or rather then the sense of time, or past, present and future what about the sense of our existence? Or the sense of the existence of god? Or the sense of how we feel emotionally? Or our ability to sense other peoples emotions, via electromagnetic frequencies and pheromones? Or what about our ability to see electromagnetic frequencies, even with our eyes closed?

If we add these senses to the list we get a count of inbetween 21-29 depending on how you want to look at it. All of these senses that I have come up with are viable and not hypothetical ones. Can you come up with any more senses to add to the list? Leave a comment if you do.

In my opinion, AK is true functional medicine. It takes into account all the interacting systems contained within the body.

Specifically:
1) The muscles, bones and ligaments
2) The nutritional/chemical
3) The psychological components

All of these must be balanced for harmony and health. Once the imbalance (or dysfunction) has been diagnosed, the most appropriate therapy is initiated. These therapies will be directed to normalize the interactions of the body, mind and spirit of the person.

Chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, nutrition, exercise, cranial-sacral therapy, emotional releases and thought process development are some of the techniques integrated into the applied kinesiologist’s armamentarium. With such a vast array of therapeutic options, the kinesiologist is able to conform a treatment protocol to meet the individual’s unique needs instead of trying to alter the patient to the only therapy that the doctor knows.

This flexibility allows the doctor to treat the person who has the condition and not the condition that has the person.

Applied kinesiology is a healing system that is constantly being refined by doctors all over the world and of every discipline. This is why I am always reading and going to seminars. I am in constant training in order to keep expanding my knowledge as well as my service to you and your family.

In my mind, there is nothing quite like applied kinesiology and this is what makes it sometimes difficult to explain. I hope I did an adequate job for you and I look forward to keeping you healthy for a long time to come.

Best wishes to your continued good health and success.

Applied Faith: How Do You Know?

I tell her about an interview I saw on television. A scientist said we’ll soon have technology enhanced implants  the size of cells so humans can keep up with the computers running the planet. Technology is advancing faster than we can implement it. We need to boot up. I tell her I have mixed feelings.

I tell her that I picture the apocalyptic movie “Road Warrior”.  I tell her I think it may be a short road to annihilation. We are too barbaric to be given cyber powers. On the other hand, perhaps there is a purpose for us that has to do with  brain power that we  own but can’t easily access. Maybe it’s up to us to become more then flesh and blood. I don’t want to but what if that’s my purpose on this planet? I’m forced to consider everything. I don’t know anything with absolute certainty.

She says it is surely a recipe for disaster but she will trust her faith to tell her what’s right. The shadows of kings and presidents who’ve engaged in war according to God’s will flit across the room. I play devil’s advocate.  I question her ability to channel the guidance of a higher power for answers like these. I tell her that according to the concept of applied kinesiology everything is energy including thoughts. The impact of energy on a human being can be tested through the individual’s physical reaction. Muscle strength is a common means of testing the impact of medicines, thoughts and organ health. I tell her that it’s most efficient when an outside source tests you because if you test yourself your desire can impact the outcome.

I ask her how that is any different than trusting her faith. If faith is energy and she has an agenda then she may unconsciously manipulate the message she gets and attribute it to her faith, to God.  Where faith alone is enough for some things, in others it may prove illusory.

She, in this house with a cross on the wall of every room, is kind enough not to throw me out. She’s calm enough to say that this is an interesting viewpoint and she will consider it. And I consider that there may be hope no matter how it goes down.

I had been seeing a chiropractor who practices applied kinesiology (AK) for more than a year, and I loved that my body and mind had embraced this process for healing and growth. For those of you who are not familiar, AK (sometimes called Body Talk) practitioners initiate a dialogue with the body’s energy, using the arm as a lever, to diagnose and identify optimal treatment.

Over the past many months, I had experienced better adrenal function, detoxified my liver and kidneys, nearly eliminated symptoms of PMS and more. Then, as I lay on my back with arm held straight in the air, I heard, “You are experiencing lack in your ovaries, and your body is asking for a lifestyle change.”

Crap! Was I about to be asked to stop drinking?

Continuing to use my arm as a lever to determine how my body wanted to heal, we learned that the lifestyle change related to money. So my chiropractor asked me to tell him what was going on with money in my life.

At the time, I lived in a rental duplex, owned two cars, had no revolving debt and lived as well or better than many of the friends I knew. Still, I had certain ideas about my situation, which I expressed something like this:

• I felt as though I was living check to check, yet I was putting $400 per month into an investment account and could easily lower that amount if I needed more accessible cash.
• I was renting, and the real estate market was climbing rapidly. By not owning property, I believed I was missing out on an investment growth opportunity, equity in a home.
• Owning two cars seemed ridiculous. I loved them both, but had no storage for the impractical sports car that needed extra love and care.

However, when we tried my arm as a lever on solutions to any of the above — free up cash, buy a home, sell a car — none worked. My chiropractor had a few suggestions of his own. My body responded to “practice gratitude consciousness.”

I was thus assigned the homework of practicing gratitude for an hour each day. When I awoke each morning, I was to choose a time, randomizing my sessions, so that I didn’t make a habit of defaulting to a time of day when I was naturally more inclined to feel good. And then I was to think about what I was grateful for during the specified time.

I began with what I thought would be easy — my new car. I had recently purchased a luxury car with leather seats, a great stereo, moon roof, etc. For months, every time I got in my car, I thanked myself. So it was a huge surprise to hear a little argument go on in my head:

“I love my car. I’m so grateful that I allowed myself to have something so nice!”

“Yeah, but all my friends drive BMWs.”

“My car drives even nicer than their BMWs.”

“Still, BMWs have more prestige…”

Observing my own back talk was a revelation to me, and it took a conscious effort to quiet the voice of dissent inside.

Another observation was that I hated paying bills — internet, phone, insurance, rent… But I was practicing gratitude, so I had to develop a new way of thinking about them. I learned to bless each bill as I received and paid it, thinking about how grateful I was to be blessed with whatever each bill represented. I didn’t grow up with internet service — and it was a wonderful new way to stay connected with friends around the world; I wore beautiful designer clothing, so I could easily be grateful for my department store credit card bill, and so on… Bills became friendly reminders of my abundant life.

A month passed and I was back in my chiropractor’s office. “How did it go?” he asked about my homework.

I chuckled hesitantly:  ”I’m not sure I did very well at it.”

“Why?”

“Well, it was difficult to maintain for an hour — I experienced a lot of back talk.”

“You didn’t think you had to list things for an hour, did you?”

“No, but I thought that I should be able to just feel gratitude, and then ride the wave of that great feeling for longer than I was able to sustain it.”

My body no longer requested the practice, but I tried to keep it up in my daily life. It brought about a nice feeling of contentment. But the astounding part of this story is what and how quickly other intentions manifested in my life:

• I continued to contribute to my investment account, and was able to release the check-to-check feeling.
• Within six weeks, I had sold my sports car for more than I’d paid for it.
• Within three months, I had bought and moved into a condo in a great neighborhood.
• And, finally, you’ll recall that the issue my gratitude practice was to resolve was a feeling of lack in my ovaries. Approximately six months later, I was pregnant with my first child!

It’s been a challenge to feel grateful for much of these past couple of years, and I’m happy to have the practice back into my life!

Dr. Strauman has extensive training in chiropractic orthopedics. He is a notable instructor of applied kinesiology and is certified in applied kinesiology.

The location of damage or stressors on the spinal column can lead to a whole range of related issues. Upper spine misalignment can cause shoulder and neck pain, arm pain and numbness, gall bladder and digestive problems and difficulty in swallowing amongst other conditions. Lower back disc issues or misalignment can create sciatica, bladder and rectum symptoms, and pain in the groin area. Hormonal imbalance, allergies, loss of energy, chronic tiredness and high blood pressure are all associated with dysfunction of mid back discs and connective tissue.

The services provided at the chiropractic center begin with a comprehensive assessment, using applied kinesiology techniques. By the use of specific targeting of injury locations, the therapeutic efforts are likewise targeted.

Summary: Strauman Holistic Chiropractic and Dr. Strauman DC, Minneapolis chiropractor offers effective and non-invasive techniques to reduce or eliminate the issues associated with spinal injuries and pain.

Common causes of low back pain include pulled muscles, shifts in the alignment of the vertebrae known as subluxations, and disc problems such as herniated or bulging discs. Dr. Strauman uses gentle chiropractic manipulations to correct vertebral alignment. Massage and other therapies are used to help relax the muscles and encourage healing.

Chiropractic care also offers solutions for disc problems. Dr. Strauman offers a new procedure called spinal decompression, that works on the time honored principles of traction. This therapy works by creating a vacuum inside the affected disc. This helps to pull the disc back into place and relieve the pressure on nerves that exit the spine at the affected level.

Summary: Minneapolis chiropractor, Dr. Charles Strauman, offers natural solutions to low back pain that do not involve the use of medications or invasive surgical procedures.

Debilitating pain can occur from a car accident. It is important that you seek a professional who can help you eliminate it. A Minneapolis chiropractor will help you to get rid of any pain with holistic methods. This might also include using some herbal remedies, which are taken internally or applied topically.

When you are in a car accident, you may have whiplash or back pain. When you first visit a chiropractor it is for consultation only. He or she will then book further appointments in which certain methods will be used to help get rid of some of the pain, if not all.

Sometimes massage therapy is used. The area that is affected will be gently massaged in order to stimulate the muscles, tendons and ligaments. This is one of the many methods that are used by most naturopathic healers and is very effective.

Other times, spinal manipulation is used to gently push the spinal lumbar back into place. This involves using a small, steel pressurized tool. This tool is pressed and then it ejects a certain amount of pressure to the area, knocking it into place. Spinal manipulation occurs over several sessions. The amount of time that you will need this done will depend on the severity of your injury.

The professional might also instruct you on various exercises that you can use in order to strengthen or recondition the area that is affected. These exercises will be done over a period of time. X-rays might also be given, so that he or she can determine the extent of the injury.

The pain from any auto accidents can last for years, if you do not seek natural or medical advice on how to alleviate some of this pain. A Minneapolis chiropractor is a professional in this field. He can help you to live a life free from pain.
