Applied Kinesiology
A Cure for Allergies by Dr. David B. Cohen, D.C.
Many people suffer from allergies either at certain times of the year or even year-round. We spend thousands of dollars on over the counter and sometimes even prescription “allergy medications” that are supposed to make us feel better. All too often though, what relief we get from them only lasts a few hours. Are you tired of searching for relief from allergy symptoms? Would you rather not have allergies at all? Did you know that your allergies can be not just relieved, but cured? An expert in taking a holistic approach to health can use techniques in applied kinesiology to find the underlying causes of your allergies and correct them.
An allergy is an abnormally strong immune system response to a substance, or allergen, which is harmless to most people. Allergies can be anywhere from just irritating to life threatening. The most common symptoms are sneezing and watery eyes but can also include swelling , asthma symptoms, rash, hives, digestive system upset, headaches, rapid heartbeat, irritability or nervousness. Not everyone responds to allergens in the same way. While people often think of pollen, mold, dust and pollution as being the main allergens, there are other sources that gain less attention. These include dust mites, preservatives, dyes, bleach and even certain foods. Dr. Cohen can perform tests to determine which substances you may be allergic to.
Most “allergy remedies” that people try only provide temporary relief from symptoms. They do not find the underlying cause. Sometimes, these medicines actually make things worse. Nasal sprays, for example, irritate the mucous membranes and cause them to swell worse the next time the allergen is encountered. If he deems them necessary, a holistic doctor can recommend supplements and techniques that provide relief from symptoms, without causing side-effects, while the cause of the allergy is being corrected.
The real solution to allergies is to correct the overactive body function to achieve a normal reaction to the allergen. Everyone’s body attempts to reject the things it doesn’t really need, it’s just that allergic reactions are rejections that are stronger than necessary. The applied kinesiology approach at the Advanced Chiropractic and Holistic Wellness Center may not always provide “instant relief”, but once the cause is found and corrected, the symptoms are gone, not just suppressed.
