allergy symptom removal questions:
what is an intolerance / allergic reaction?
An intolerance refers to a
non-immune system response ranging from a minor irritation to an extreme
reaction. The substance in which our body reacts to, which is generally
non-threatening, is viewed by our body as a threat to our general well being.
A Medical Allergist’s
definition of allergy: “a reaction to an otherwise harmless substance, food or
environmental, that results in an immune system response”. This reaction
consists of the release of histamine, leading to an inflammatory reaction.
A
Holistic Allergist has a new definition of allergy: ”a bioenergetic
counteraction to a given substance which results in abnormality or a reaction
within in the body”.
how are the allergy symptoms eliminated?
Based on an ancient Chinese belief that energy runs
through the body in pathways called "meridians" acupuncture is now a widely
recognized health related modality. It is through these bio-energetic
meridians that the brain and nervous system receive information about the state
and functioning of the body as a whole. Modern electro magnetic imaging
devices and radioactive tracer isotopes have confirmed the presence of these
pathways.
BioEnergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE) is the method
used. A lightweight hand held device is used to transmit a low electronic
frequency (10 Hz biphasic, 5 microamp) directly onto various acupuncture points
(without the use of needles) on the body to stimulate and clear any blockages in
energy. During this procedure the client is exposed to the allergenic
substance in glass vials. While the blockages are clearing, the body's
cells are literally being reprogrammed to recognize the allergen's frequency.
When this non-invasive and painless procedure is complete, the body will no
longer see the allergen or intolerance as a threat when exposed to it;
therefore, no longer producing any adverse reactions.

are there any side effects from the procedure?
When the body has been freed of an intolerance or allergy
to which it has been exposed to in the past, any damaged tissues will begin to
break down and reabsorb back into the body. The odd headache, sore throat,
sinus congestion, tired or lethargic feeling, aches and pains or even nausea are
all usually signs of the body regenerating new cells and cleansing itself.
This is known as a "healing crisis". A healing crisis can start the day
after the session up to 3 weeks in some cases, and may last from 1 to 28 days.
In fact, they may appear to be getting sick. This is actually a
good sign,
not a bad one. The body is merely re-experiencing the same symptoms,
temporarily, as it now returns on the uphill road, throwing off and
eliminating toxic wastes.
how soon will I notice results?
It is much easier to regulate
ingested sensitivities, rather than that of environmental sensitivities due to
the fact that there are literally thousands of potential environmental allergens
that one can inhale or absorb through the skin. However, there are potentially
hundreds of chemical food additives we can ingest as well. Most people find
immediate results after the first visit, while others require several visits to
detect and remove all suspect causes, particularly if an individual has many
intolerances. In extreme cases, those with severe intolerances have reported a
4 to 6 week period lapsed after their session before feeling complete relief of
their symptoms.
How long
will I be free of any intolerance once I have had it removed?
It
requires only 1 to 4 sessions to clear an allergy/intolerance in minutes.
Approximately 75% to 80% of intolerances are cleared the first session.
However, depending on the
degree of intolerance,
and stress level
of the client, amount of
bodily toxins
and the strength of the person’s
immune system,
the others may require a second, third or, rarely even a forth session. Once the
intolerance is removed, you will most likely never experience symptoms
from the same substance again.
anaphylaxis and BIE
We clear anaphylaxis allergy symptoms
as well,
however, we strongly
urge you to seek approval from your medical doctor/allergist before you ingest,
inhale or expose yourself to any substance to which you have been previously
diagnosed as anaphylactic.
It
is a common occurrence to show a more severe reaction
from your scratch, intradermal or RAST test
from your doctor after your BIE session.
From our observations, we predicate that this is merely due to
one of 2 reasons:
a)
The substance bypasses the first line of defense when it is administered
directly into the skin or bloodstream using a scratch test or intradermal test.
The pre-programmed IgE antibodies immediately react strongly to the
invading allergen. It usually takes time for your body to reprogram your immune
system to recognize the substance before complete recovery can be achieved.
There may be anywhere from a 3 to 24 month delay before your medical doctor's
test shows a negative response to the anaphylactic substance.
b)
RAST, intradermal or scratch tests can often
be inaccurate. These tests often show a false "negative" or false
"positive" test result. This is not due to err from your doctor, but merely from
the test itself.
We suggest having your medical doctor's
allergy test at least 6 months after your BIE sessions and also after
complying to any recommendations from your Holistic Allergist.
(A minimum of 3 separate sessions are required in cases of
anaphylaxis). Click here to see

acupuncture questions:

does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture is done with extremely thin flexible needles made of stainless steel
and silver alloy. There is nothing 'special' about the needle; it is a
tool to balance body energy. There is sometimes a brief pain as the needle
passes through the skin.
how does acupuncture work?
No one really knows. As theories evolve from generation to generation, the
secret behind acupuncture will not easily be solved. For this reason, it
will remain a mystery for many generations to come.
what can acupuncture do for me?
There are three main things that acupuncture can do for you. These are
pain relief from all sorts of different kinds of pain that the body can produce,
preventing the pain from coming back into the body and heal the body from the
pain.
when was acupuncture found?
Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing. The earliest acupuncture
books were written 4,500 years ago. Acupuncture began with the discovery
that the stimulation of specific areas of the skin affected the functioning of
certain organs of the body. It evolved into a system of healing as the
connection between the skin and organs became better understood leading to more
sensitive methods of stimulation.
what can you do about low back pain?
Low back pain is the area that we specialize in. Through the insertion of
needles at various points in the body the body relieves that pain in the lower
back by balancing the energy flows. You can read a non-biased report on
acupuncture for back pain by clicking

Energy blockages in the back cause pain and by clearing these
blockages the pain stops. At the same time, we strengthen the immune enhancing
points! This immune enhancing technique helps to strengthen the body's immunity
- which is extremely important in today's society as
we are exposed to viruses such as the swine flu. This technique is
unique to No Sugar Please!

cosmetic acupuncture
questions:
What is it?
Widely
used in China for many years to prevent the onset of wrinkles and facial lines,
Cosmetic Acupuncture increases the blood and energy flow to specific facial
areas to hydrate, plump up and boost the supply of nutrients and oxygen to them.
Does it last forever?
No. Generally, the treatment should last for three to five years, at which
time you would need to revisit your acupuncturist.
What can it do for me?
- Reduction of wrinkles as new collagen is produced
- Improve the overall elasticity of facial muscles
- Erasing of fine lines and reduction of deeper lines
- Reduction of sagginess
- Lifting of droopy eyelids
how many sessions will I need?
10 sessions, twice every week for five weeks.
are there any contraindications?
Cosmetic acupuncture is contraindicated in some pituitary
disorders, heart disorders, hypertension, pregnancy, onset of an
acute herpes attack, individuals who have a pacemaker and
individuals who have a problem with bleeding or bruising.
are there any side effects?
There are no negative side effects. A client may
experience bruising for a day or two but these should fade away
naturally.

iridology
questions:
What can be done once
there have been problems found?
There are many remedies
that we can give to you once we have determined what your problems are. These
remedies can be composed of herbs and physical activities. Also, we will be
making recommendations of foods that you should try to wean off.
Is it true that through iridology, you can determine emotional
stress as well?
Yes. Psychological
stress can also be determined using iridology. For
example, we could determine whether or not you currently have fear and anxiety
or, perhaps, you’re irritable and depressed. How and why does everything show up in the eye?
This is truly nature’s gift to us. Through the study of
your eyes, we can determine ailments that you have received 20 years ago to
present day to 20 years into the future. And these ailments could affect every
organ in your body. From heart to arm to leg to stomach and so on, it will
clearly identify areas of concern to you.
My husband has
colitis (a digestive disease characterized by inflammation of the colon). Can
you determine this using iridology?
Your husband probably has a lot of stress in his life,
which is the primary reason for this kind of condition. By looking into his
eyes, we can tell just how stressed he is and we can give him herbs to calm
everything down.
How long does an
appointment take?
Usually ½ an hour to a full hour is
sufficient for us to go through everything that we have found with you.

nutritional coaching questions:
what are the benefits of nutritional coaching?
For many years, we thought that the foods we were eating
were healthy. By most parent standards, it was. We rarely ate out
and we bought our foods from the closest grocery stores. However, after
enrolling in this nutrition program, we discovered a whole lot of wrong in what
we were putting into our daily meals. We have since revamped our entire
kitchen contents and feel great! We have increased our energy levels just
from the foods that we eat. We are now ready to pass on that information
to others.
what can I expect from a holistic nutritionist?
A holistic nutritionist can provide numerous services to you. Among
them are:
- Review and evaluation of dietary, lifestyle and exercise habits.
- Identification of nutrient deficiencies/excesses.
- Grocery store tour.
- Development of individualized menu plans and shopping lists.
- Healthy cooking tips and menu ideas.
- Improved digestion, absorption and elimination through the use of foods,
herbs and supplements.
- Customized detox and cleansing protocols.
- Help improve your energy levels.
- Food sensitivity testing.
what about weight loss?
If you follow our program of when and what to eat, you
may find pounds may shedding off your body. The food that we recommend
does not involve dieting but rather just commitment to changes in lifestyle.
