Sahara Clinic - Sports Kinesiologist .

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a specific form of natural, holistic health care. But before I get into describing AK, lets be clear on the differences of natural, holistic health care vs traditional, allopathic, disease or symptom care.

Many of you might believe that if you have no symptoms then you must be healthy. And that is not necessarily true. Furthermore, an even greater myth is that if you have a symptom and you take a drug (medication), that magically you are now healthy. This symptom care belief system is not only wrong but could be potentially dangerous.

Number 1 Killer - Heart Attack:

Lets look at some examples out there. Like I already mentioned on my twitter, the number 1 killer in America today is cardiovascular disease or heart attack. Half of the deaths in America will be due to a heart attack. The first and usually only symptom of a heart attack is... DEATH. Meaning yesterday, John Doe, had no symptoms. He might've had a lifestyle that lead to the heart attack, but many times victims of heart disease have NO SYMPTOMS.

So is it true that John Doe the day before the heart attack was healthy because he had no symptoms? And the day he died, he was all of a sudden sick? No that would be ridiculous. He was probably sick for a long time, but because he had no symptoms he thought he was healthy. But in reality he was very sick, he had heart disease for years.

Number 2 Killer - Cancer:

The number 2 killer in America is cancer. One in 4 people will die of cancer. Again, many times including myself, there were no real symptoms. No real pain nor any significant problems. Fatigue is usually a common one, however many people think it's stress due to old age or something else, and they ignore the signs. Average Joe could've had a clean bill of health last year, but when he was getting his annual physical the following year the MD finds a tumor that is as large as a grapefruit. Now did the tumor appear the day of his exam and yesterday it wasn't there because he had no real symptoms? The answer again is NO. He was actually very sick but yet he wasn't aware of his illness because he had NO SYMPTOMS.

Number 3 Killer - Stroke:

The number 3 killer in America is stroke. 140,000 people will die of a stroke this year. Another 3 million will be left permanently impaired and handicaped due to a stroke.

Number 4 Killer - Properly Prescribed, FDA approved DRUGS: 

The number 4 killer in America is properly prescribed, FDA approved drugs/ medication. And these top 4 killers account for about 85% on how Americans will leave the planet. That is the problem. And symptom care or disease care many times is too late. "People will spend more money on their last two weeks on life than they will on their health in their entire lifetime. And that is sad, frightening and pathetic." - Dr. Howard Cohn.

The Sahara Clinic practice true natural, holistic health. "Holistic" means looking at your body as a whole and not just specific parts.

Three Levels of Health:

There are 3 levels of health. The top level is health, wellness and vitality. That is what we all would like to achieve. Many of us are not born with it. How do we achieve this level of health? We need to do something for ourselves. We need to build equity in our body. This level is built and not given to us. Most of us are born with the second level of health which is "no symptoms". And the third level is "symptoms".

Symptoms including disease, such as a headache or cancer can be caused by many different reasons. The three basic areas that can cause anything are structural or phyiscal reasons, chemical reasons and mental/ emotional reasons. Applied Kinesiology focuses on finding all the causes that are creating the problem. With the use of muscle testing, I can communicate with the patient's innate intelligence and find all the causes to the problem.

Then also performing the specific and proper therapy and later prescribing the proper and appropriate supplement, herb or homeopathy. One my first mentors, Dr. Howard Cohn used to describe AK like this. "We use your body like a computer and use your muscles as the keyboard so I can access what is going on structurally, chemically and mentally." 

Looking at your problem holistically:

Anything can cause a headache. A structural cause for a headache could be any type of trauma. For example, a car accident or a linebacker hitting another football player. What would be a chemical cause for a headache?

What about chemical causes for a headache? There are two things chemically that a patient can have problems with: 1) Excess 2)Deficiencies. What do I mean?

Excess. This means your body can be exposed to toxins, poisons, pollutants, parasites, heavy metals, plastics, chlorine, dust, mold, fungus, yeast and/ or other known or unknown environmental chemicals. 

Defficient. A patient's body could be deficient in many but specific nutrients, such as protien, or fiber, or a vitamin or a mineral. You can have a toxic headache from mold, perfume, cologne, parasites or paints. You can have a protein deficiency and adrenal stress which can actually create a herniated or bulging disc in your neck or back. Thus causing severe pain, spasms and inflammation.

What about an emotional cause for a headache? Emotions are based in physiology not necessarily psychology.

1895 Ivan Pavlov did an study on conditioned responses in dogs. He feed the hungry dogs meat. Everytime he feed the dogs, he decided to ring a bell. Later he then would ring the bell but wouldn't feed the dogs. But everytime the bell rang, the dogs would salivate which is known as a "conditioned response". After long period of ringing the bell, and not getting fed, the dogs reached a point called "extinction" and they stopped salivating. Metaphorically, we as humans continue to salivate.

My mentor Dr. Cohn explains that "We are like a walking juke box. Someone touches and pushes our buttons our favorite music plays. We can't change the song because that's the history of the trauma or the actual accident or event. We can't change the buttons because our friends and family know how to push our buttons. But through modern technology, what we can do is clip the wire so when someone pushes our buttons, we don't react negatively."

Then, through homeopathy we can detoxify that specific energetic vessel or meridian that holds the negative emotion and our headache goes away. There are 12 major meridians and each meridian or vessel holds a major or minor negative emotion. For example, the lung meridian displays, grief, sadness or yearning. The liver meridian displays anger or frustration and so on. And as you take off and clear the negative emotional weight off a patient and then give them the proper food and nutrients, detoxify the specific toxins and also adjust the specific structural points, a miracle happens.
