Skylar had her first visit with the alternative medicine doctor on Friday.....I know that many of you may have been as skeptical as me, so let me give you an example of one of his patients.
A family friend's best friend stopped getting her period around age 20. She also suddenly had gained a large amount of weight. After seeing several doctors, she was told that her body was going through menopause and that they would try hormone therapy to trick her body to get back to its regular cycle. Dr. Capuano had a different theory (after he tested her); He said that her body was allergic to Vitamin A, Vitamin D and was actually allergic to her
own hormones. Her body's reaction was to turn the Vitamins she was allergic to into fat, causing her to gain a sudden amount of weight. His practice is to
reverse the allergy (that is where the skepticism plays a role). Within a short time, she lost all the weight and now has a regular cycle.....
With that said, John and I felt we had nothing to lose but to see what Dr. Capuano had to say about Skylar. He evaluates patients
biomedically. To give you a picture, she had to hold a medal rod in her left hand that was connected to a machine, that made a pitch noise and had a meter reading. He sat facing Skylar and held two "pens" connected by a wire. He had THOUSANDS of vials (similar to what an apothecary's office would look like), each one containing a "reactor." As Skylar was holding the rod in her left hand, he would touch her right hand with one pen and hold the other pen over a vial. If the meter's pitch changed, then her body was
reacting to a
reactor (this type of alternative practice was founded in theh 1800s in Germany). After going through several hundred reactors, he determined her allergies to be:
wheat, gluten, dairy, salt, sugar, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, corn.
Essentially, everything that Skylar was eating, her body was allergic to. Her body's defense mechanism was to build mucus to protect itself and after similar testing (of her body parts) the only body part affected was her lungs. Again, to see this type of testing in his office is to believe it. It was (literally) awesome.
So now what?
He needs to reverse her allergies with a form of acupuncture (she is too small for needles). Since she has so many allergies, it will be a 3 step process. The first step, which was on Friday, was to reverse the salt and sugar allergy. After the acupuncture treatment, she was not permitted to touch or consume salt and sugar for 25 hours. This was the hard part! Try and tell your baby no milk bottles! Her diet consumed of only: meat, chicken, eggs and distilled water. NOT EVEN A BATH, since tap water has salt in it! Successfully (we think) we did it. God bless our little Skylar bean for being such a great patient. Let's hope the reversal worked. We have our next appointment on November 17th.......
