Addressing Digestive and Bowel Problems with Applied Kinesiology
WHY
APPLIED KINESIOLOGY WORKS SO WELL IN ADDRESSING DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
The symptoms of digestive trouble should
not be ignored in the early stages when they are easy to correct, because they
can frequently lead to much more serious problems.
Many of the ads in magazines,
newspapers, and on television seem to indicate that it is normal to have
burning and gas after overindulgence or eating the wrong foods. They advise us to take antacids to
"neutralize the excess acid."
This approached must be critically evaluated. If eating a particular food bothers you but
not very many other people, chances are your digestive system may be
functioning poorly, it may not be the food.
When digestion is poor - whether in the stomach, small intestine, or
large intestine, the body fails to break food down into its component parts for
absorption. Food can actually become
putrid when this occurs and gases of varying nature can form. More importantly, digestive trouble prevents
the body from absorbing the nutrients for the process of life.
Applied Kinesiology provides a tool for
the doctor to use to locate the source(s) of the problem. Through AK testing, Dr. Doreo can check the
essential functions of the digestive tract to detect the area(s) of malfunction
or dysfunction. So many functions occur
within the digestive system that isolating the problem can provide the patient
with a much more effective and successful treatment.
Beyond Applied Kinesiology testing, AK
also provides treatment tools the doctor can use to correct the problem(s)
found. Many serious consequences of digestive disturbance exist. For example, evidence of colon cancer linked
to colon stasis, arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. Let's look at a few common digestive
problems:
Stomach
Burning or "Heartburn"
Hydrochloric stomach acid production is
regulated by the nervous system. Too
much or too little acid indicates that the mechanism controlling acid
production is out of balance; it should be returned to normal. AK treatment tools can by used by Dr. Doreo
for controlling mechanism.
Hiatal
Hernia
Sometimes the burning sensation that
develops in the upper portion of the digestive system is the result of a hiatal
hernia. This is a condition where the
diaphragm (a muscle) does not function properly and the opening the esophagus
passes through to the stomach becomes enlarged, allowing the stomach to
protrude into the chest cavity. Stomach
acid is then allowed to pass into the esophagus causing severe burning pain (and
other symptoms).
AK treatment can improve muscle
function. The diaphram muscle can
usually be returned to normal by correcting the muscle energy patterns.
Small
Intestine and Bloating/Gas
The many complex chemical actions occur
in the small intestine. Complications
can develop rapidly. Protein is
processed and passed to the bloodstream for use in the making of new tissues
and other protein related items.
Digestive enzymes - many made in the pancreas - are one group of protein
containing compounds. The extraction of
the body's nutrients occurs in the small intestine. Dysfunction in this area can create bloating,
a rumbling feeling, and a variety of gases.
Symptoms that indicate small intestine trouble and the possible lack of
nutrition to the body.
Ileocecal
Valve Syndrome
The ileocecal valve is the valve between
the small and large intestine that controls the passage of "the trash out
of the kitchen" into the large intestine for disposal. This valve can dysfunction in 2 ways: first and
most commonly, the valve stuck open, and second, the valve is stuck
closed. With the valve stuck open, the
small intestine becomes toxic and any weak area (a hip joint or sinuses, in
example) can develop trouble symptoms. With
the valve stuck closed, the valve becomes spastic and again toxic material is
absorbed into the body.
Constipation
Many people think of constipation as
meaning the bowels are not moving frequently enough. However, a different type of constipation is
just as significant and often ignored - colon stasis. This condition is waste material eventually
absorbing re-absorbing into the body and is the first phase of serious problems
such as colitis, diverticulosis, and diverticulitis. Symptoms of colon trouble include a tendency
toward constipation or colon stasis, infrequent stool, non-voluminous stool, or
odor in the stool. The normal bowel
movement has no foul odor; dysfunction should be expected whenever a strong
odor is commonly present.
Lab work is necessary to accurately target
the cause of the problem. Dr Doreo never relies on applied kinesiology alone. You
may be required to complete a blood test, stool sample, breath test, biopsy, intestinal
scoping, or other challenge tests to properly address the health condition.
Again, the nervous system and energy
patterns of the body are important for proper colon function. Dr. Doreo will do
everything she can to help.
