started late last night and continues every 10-15 minutes. Since day one
we've been trying to find the trigger to these events. I think we are
finally begining to understand.
The human body, at any age, is an amazing machine. "God don't make no
junk". When she vomits, she does so for a reason. When we were in the ER
last week I was asked if I wanted to try giving her something to stop the
vomiting. It felt odd saying it but my answer was "nope". In one respect I
said no because we've tried those 'somethings' in the past and it has never
helped. But had I known then what I know now I probably wouldn't have tried
them then either. Now I don't know exactly what's going on inside Anya's
little body but it is clearly telling us that whatever is inside her needs
to get out.
I believe the vomiting spell last week was a direct result of us trying to
introduce Neocate formula. It was suggested she try it for nutritional
purposed (addition amino acids and calcium campared to what she was on), we
were warned however that it contained nearly 50% corn syrup (that's a whole
nother topic, but 50% garbage. I just don;t get it...). After slowly
introducing the Neocate she began vomiting. As I think I mentioned in a
previous post, the vomit content was different from what we'd seen in the
past (I'll spare the details).
The episode prior to that, we believe was caused by a detoxing herb that we
perhaps gave her a bit much of (oops). Her vomit then was similar to what
it is today and similar to what it was when given detoxification herbs from
her ayruvedic doc several months ago. With out giving to much details, I'll
just say what is coming out looks nothing like what we put in. So I think
she has two different reasons for vomiting. One is when she is sick with a
bug or an acute alergic response and the other is when she is excreating
built up toxins.
So why is she detoxifying today? Well yesterday we opted to try something
new, Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care (see www.http://www.erinelster.com/
for more info). It is something a friend of our suggested months ago.
Unfortunately we didn't find it relevant at the time. But she finally
nagged us enough so to get her off our back we thought we'd give it a try
(totally kidding Cindie). In a nut shell Upper Cervical Care is correcting
the alignment where the spine meets the skull (if I hacked that description
I apologize Dr. Elster). This misalignment can occur as a result of a neck
injury or during the birthing process. When there is misalignment here it
restricts and/or pinches the spinal cord and can neurological malfunction
resulting in anything from headaches to immune system disorders to
developmental delay to seizures. As we said in the past, Anya need every
bit of help possible. We want to eliminate anything holding her back from
being the best she can possibly be. I do not at all believe this is her
underlying issue but I do believe it is worth correcting to reach her full
potential. Her x-rays and thermal scan did show misalignment so she did
have an adjustment. We will now be going back each week for repeat thermal
scans and adjustments and needed. Thermal scan essentially measure the
temperature differential along either side of her upper spine. A
temperature difference of more than .5 C indicates misalignment and the need
for adjustment. Eventually she will stabilize on her own. So what does
that have to do with detoxing? Well I call Dr. Elster this afternoon just to
let her know what's happening and she wasn't surprised. She said her
patients commonly show signs of detoxifying following treatment, although
not through vomiting, they they show other detoxing symptoms like skin
rashes, diarrhea, feeling ill, etc. So there you go... we made her get
sick.
We'll keep posting updates and let you know what happens after out next
visit next Monday. Oh yea, we are also hoping to start her methyl B-12
injections soon per the suggestions listed in the book mentioned below.
