seed allergy
A lady brought her four-year-old daughter to see me for recurring ear infections. The daughter received several rounds of antibiotics, but the ear infections returned again and again. Through careful allergy testing, I was able to determine that the girl was lactose intolerant. Allergy tests revealed that dairy products triggered the condition. Within four weeks, these milk allergy-related infections resolved.
Inspired by the quick resolution of her daughter’s problem, the mother decided to talk about a more personal problem. She said she suffered from bouts of chronic yeast infections and wondered if dairy was somehow triggering her condition. I informed the mom that there are several possibilities of repeat vaginal infections:
1 – candida (yeast)
2 – bacteria (bacterial vaginosis)
3 – trichomonas (parasite)
4 – HPV (human papillomavirus)
5 – sensitivity of the synthetic buffer
6 – allergy to latex condom
7 – flora imbalance due to birth control pills
It was determined through kinesiology/muscle testing that the mother had an allergy to semen. Semen is known to cause itching, burning, and discomfort. Fortunately, through holistic allergy care (NAET technique), it was relatively easy to cure this allergy. The mother’s symptoms completely disappeared in three sessions. Best of all, her husband never faced charges of harassing his wife.
Semen allergies are not common, but they do happen. Medications for the condition are available for temporary relief, but they often trigger new symptoms and side effects. Holistic treatments are safe and effective in permanently eliminating allergies and irritations.
Sometimes symptoms caused by intercourse can be caused by a latex sensitivity. Allergy or sensitivity to latex is more common than we think.
Sometimes an allergic reaction can be due to an emotional reaction. In women doing muscle testing, if I make them think about sperm, their arm may go weak, indicating an underlying feeling that it’s stuck. Through a systematic procedure called NET (Neuro Emotional Technique) it is possible to find the origin of the trigger. It is important to look for biochemical allergies as well as 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. Also taking antibiotics can cause an imbalance of bacteria. We all have billions of bacteria in our system, but an imbalance caused by antibiotics that solved one problem may cause just another symptom. Taking probiotics after a bacterial infection not only restores the bacterial balance in our system, it also restores the yeast balance.
Current medical research is increasingly exploring the microbiome which has dramatic implications for our health and well-being. Children with brain problems, such as autism, respond well to a concerted effort to balance our microbiome. Research could find that Alzheimer’s disease can be prevented by ensuring a balanced microbiome. It is important to take a holistic perspective when addressing our symptoms.
A smart approach to your optimal wellness is to use both traditional medical care and alternative health therapies. Many doctors realize this and have now incorporated “functional medicine” into their approach to helping patients. The point of view of functional medicine is to look for the underlying causes of the disease, rather than simply administering drugs to control the symptoms. Toxins, diet, allergies, hidden infections, and nutritional deficiencies are taken into account. Modern medicine focuses on providing quick relief and a miracle solution for diseases. My experience has been that each individual is a complex being that requires immense research, rather than a recipe book approach. Although we live in a fast food minded society, nature is much slower, most of the time.
