10 Steps To Wellness
Many years ago Dr George
Goodheart developed the concept of the triad of health; Structural (spinal
alignment and normal muscle balance), Nutritional (biochemical) and Emotional
(psychological). The 10 Step Protocol essentially encompasses this by covering
the ten areas or aspects of health that have been found to date in all natural
healing disciplines to be necessary for complete healing and wellness. The ten
steps are:
1. Remove Nerve Interference
and Correct Structural Problems
2. Rebalance Electromagnetics
3. Reset the Adrenal Glands and the General Adaptive Syndrome
4. Repair Nutrition for Organ or System Weakness
5. Remove Infective Organisms
6. Replace Enzymes and/or Hydrochloric Acid
7. Re-inoculate the Bowel Flora
8. Remove Heavy Metals
9. Eliminate Allergies and Sensitivities
10. Remove Abnormal Emotional Patterns
Step 1:
Remove nerve interference and correct structural problems: This is
one the most important steps. It includes spinal and extremity adjustments,
cranio-sacral therapy, myofascial release and visceral manipulation. Spinal and
extremity adjustments are used to realign the the spine and remove nerve
interference. In my office I mostly use instruments to make adjustments. Hands
on adjustments are needed occasionally in the neck and drop adjustments are
often used for the sacroiliac joints. Cranio-sacral therapy involves normalizing
the movement of the 24 bones and fluid (CSF) in the skull and spinal cord. The
brain and the spinal cord control every and all
functions of the body. The brain is the main computer of the body. And the
nerves and spinal cord are the phone system or "Internet" of the body. If there
is any interference to any of the "wires, then that part of the body will not
receive or transmit the necessary information to maintain proper function. This
is a significant cause of decreased function in the body. The fascia is the thin
cellophane-like layer that covers all the muscles and organs and is contiguous
with the dura, which covers the brain and spinal cord. If the fascia becomes
stuck or contracted, it is like trying to walk with part of pants glued to your
leg. This contraction reduces the flow blood, lymph fluid, and nerve impulses.
To release the cranium and fascia and mobilize the organs I mostly use the
Percussor, which greatly speeds up the process and is very effective. I also use
my hands to fine tune the movement.
Step 2:
Rebalance electromagnetics: This is a very simple but important
step. Muscle response testing is used to determine if electromagnetic fields
make the patient's body weak. Electromagnetic fields are emanated by almost all
electronic devices such as computers, lights, appliances, televisions etc. A
significant amount of research has shown that electromagnetic fields are
involved or implicated in many of the chronic health conditions seen in our
modern world. An inexpensive multi-polar is carried to balance the body's own
field and to protect it from electromagnetic fields in our environment.
Step 3:
Reset the adrenal glands and the General Adaptive Syndrome: The
adrenal glands support and control many functions of the body. Many people have
heard of adrenaline and cortisol, which are produced by the adrenal glands. Hans
Selye M.D. discovered that chronic stress (physical, chemical or emotional) will
cause the adrenal glands to hypertrophy (enlarge), thymus gland and lymph nodes
to shrink as well as gastrointestinal irritation and ulceration. This is known
as the General Adaptative Syndrome. Because the adrenal glands "drive" many of
the body's function, restoration is essential. Testing of adrenal glands is
performed via either muscle response testing or lab testing. I give my patients
a product called DSF (De-stress Formula), if they test positive.
Step 4:
Repair nutrition for organ or system weakness: The heart, liver,
lungs, small and large intestine stomach etc all can suffer from different types
of dysfunction or weakness. Each individual organ's dysfunction can cause a
number of problems and symptoms. Testing using either muscle response testing or
lab studies gives us an idea where the weaknesses are. I my office I mostly use
Nutri-West products to strengthen the organ weaknesses. These supplements
contain specific minerals, herbs, glandular extracts, and natural substances in
synergistic formulas that are specialized for each individual organ dysfunction.
Step 5:
Remove Infective organisms: Many chronic health problems are
associated with the body's inability to remove or the overgrowth of infective
organisms. Viruses bacteria, yeast, and parasites can all linger in the body
reeking havoc with different systems. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia,
arthritis, auto-immune diseases and cancer are some of the conditions associated
with infective organisms in the body. Testing with either lab studies or muscle
response testing reveal what "bad guys" are in your system. I use several
products of the most researched herbs and natural substances found to eradicate
the infective organisms.
Step 6:
Replace enzymes and/or HCL: Enzymes are naturally occurring
substances found in raw food and also produced by the body. Digestive enzymes
are essential for proper digestion. Enzymes also catalyze (enable or promote)
all chemical reactions in the body. With our modern diet, most people are
deficient in enzymes. This is one of the main reasons why many people have
digestive disorders today. Because all the body's chemical reactions have been
slowed down, it causes people to feel feel sluggish. I recommend natural plant
enzymes to all my patients. Hydrochloric acid (HCL) produced by the stomach
lining is also necessary for proper digestion. Lab or muscle response muscle
testing can determine, if you are producing
sufficient HCL.
Step 7:
Re-inoculate the bowel flora: The large and small
intestine normally harbor millions of good bacteria.
The "good guys" help fight off invading organisms. They also aid the digestive
process and protect the lining of the intestines. In addition they produce some
essential substances such as certain vitamins. Many digestive and other
conditions are caused by an increased ration of bad bacteria to good bacteria. I
give probiotics to all my patients who wish to have all ten steps in place. The
probiotics I recommend contain 400 different strains of good bacteria.
Step 8:
Remove abnormal emotional patterns: Most people know that the
mind/body connection is very strong and powerful. Every health problem has an
emotional or stress component. Often it isn't obvious that there is an emotional
aspect to a particular health problem. But nevertheless it is there. The brain
and mind is is integrated with all chemical and physical processes in the body.
Emotional stress is stored in the nervous system as well as in the muscles and
fascia. To achieve good health, unlocking the stored emotional stress is
essential.
Step 9:
Reprogram the body for allergies and sensitivities: Many chronic
health problems involve allergies or sensitivities. Usually most people are
unaware that they are allergic or sensitive to something. The reactions people
have to different substances come in many forms. They run from the most common
runny nose and itchy eyes to headaches, fatigue and "brain fog" to Irritable
Bowel Syndrome and Dermatitis. People can also be sensitive to their own
tissues. What this means is that the body is not processing or recognizing part
of their body properly and then there is breakdown of the system. Dr.
Nambudripad a chiropractor and acupuncturist discovered a way to desensitize and
eliminate allergies and sensitivities. She herself was allergic to many
substances. One day she absentmindedly ate some carrots to which she was very
allergic and became ill. Being an acupuncturist she self treated herself with
acupuncture needles and went to bed. When she awoke, she felt much better. She
realized that she still had the needles in her and was still hold the carrot.
This began her research into allergy elimination. The technique; Nambudripad
Allergy Elimination Technique (N.A.E.T.) now involves determining a person's
allergies and sensitivities using muscle response testing. Then while the person
holds the substance in their hand the doctor stimulates acupuncture points with
either electrical stimulation, cold laser or
pressure. This technique has been used successfully with thousands of people. I
use a variation of this technique developed by Dr. John Brimhall called Allergy
and Sensitivity Elimination and reprogramming technique (A.S.E.R.T.). This
technique adds the component of reprogramming or desensitizing to the body's of
own tissues. There are 23 groups of substances or allergens that need to cleared
at a minimum.
Step
10: Remove
heavy metals and other toxins from the body: Heavy metal toxicity
(lead, mercury, barium, arsenic, etc.) is becoming more and more recognized by
the general public with good reason. Unfortunately our modern industrialized
society has polluted almost everywhere in our environment. We even have mercury
in our mouths. Heavy metals have been implicated in Alzheimer's disease,
Dementia, Autism, Anemia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis,
Hypoglycemia, ADHD, ADD, allergies, hormonal imbalances, and many more. As you
can see heavy metal accumulation affects many systems of the body. Removal is
essential. Muscle response testing and/or lab testing is used to discover any
accumulation. In my office I use homeopathic tinctures to stimulate a release of
the metal and essential fatty acids (ex. Flax seed oil) to carry it out.
Typical
Holistic Office Visit
Usually on the first and second visits I examine the spine for misalignments,
nerve interference, abnormal posture, and muscle balance. I will also check for
sensitivity to electro-magnetic pollution. Then I will test the organ reflexes
to check for organ and gland weakness, infective organisms, and adrenal gland
dysfunction. I will also test for heavy metal toxicity. Some patients require
lab testing. At that time I will give the patient the supplements they need to
restore their internal environment to take at home.
On a typical office visit I will make adjustments to remove interference,
mobilize the cranium, and the organs. At the same time I will desensitize and
reprogram the body to one of the 23 groups of allergens in conjunction with any
colors or sounds that are associated with with that
particular substance. Also depending on what I have learned from talking with
the patient or what shows up with the testing, I will use one of the three
techniques mentioned above to remove any abnormal emotional patterns.
About every thirty days I retest the organ reflexes to determine what progress
has been made. Usually after 30-90 days some reflexes will no longer test
positive and the patient will no longer need the supplement for that problem.
Eventually most of organ reflexes will normalize and the patient will not need
to take the specialized nutritional supplements. In some people however, there
always be some weaknesses or problems that need support. To go through the
entire program, we continue treating until the patient is no longer sensitive or
reacting to any of the allergens (23 groups minimum), all or almost all of organ
reflexes are normal, no sign of heavy metals are found, the spine is aligned and
cranium is moving normally. So you see that by going through the Ten Step
Protocol we are covering all the bases necessary to heal the whole person
structurally, chemically and emotionally.
