Would it be beneficial to screen all children for allergies?

Dr. Jay P Wilson, D.PSc. practices at Allergy Elimination of MN and has 60 years of experience (03/12/2018)

Dr. Wilson has been treating kids allergies for the last 50 years....We had a detailed conversation in a series of videos with him about kids and allergies and how these symptoms show up differently in different children. We finally had to ask Dr. WIlson the obvious question. WOULD IT BE BENEFICIAL TO SCREEN CHILDREN FOR ALLERGIES? Dr. WIlson's response: And I would have to say yes. Most allergies are hidden. People don’t always know that they are allergic to a particular item or food. Remember, there is hardly any symptom or condition that is neither caused, aggravated or accelerated with allergies. So if …

Why are you so passionate about eliminating allergies? We asked Dr. Wilson

Dr. Jay P Wilson, D.PSc. practices at Allergy Elimination of MN and has 60 years of experience (03/12/2018)

We asked Dr. Wilson, Why do you do, what you do? And why are you so passionate about eliminating allergies? I guess we have to go back to my beginning. I was raised in a chiropractic family. My dad was a chiropractor, so it was just natural that my thinking was along the natural line. I have always wanted to do things that help people with natural treatment. So I’ve done chiropractic for 52 years. Actually, I don’t have a choice, that's my background. And I’ve gradually gravitated toward taking care of allergies. Because as I’ve said many times before there is hardly …

So one of the big things I notice with people who are stressed out, they come and lay on my table, I start people face up, and I watch people’s tummies. The majority, if not 99% of my clients that come in and their tummies barely move. And you might say, “So, what does that mean?”

What is Acupuncture? How does it work?

Libby Weibel, L.Ac. and MFT Practitioner practices at Aculove and has 15 years of experience (03/12/2018)

What is most important with acupuncture, in my opinion, is FLOW. I describe acupuncture like our highway systems here in the Twin Cities, and this is where everybody laughs because as you know our highway systems here in the big city are not awesome. We want them to be awesome. We hope for them to be awesome. We want to get from point A to point B in not a lot of time. That usually does not happen. We have road construction, re-routing, detours, accidents, traffic jams, snow, heat and all of these other things that make driving more difficult. Imagine …

What would you say to someone who’s trying to make up their mind?

What should someone think about before starting detox?

Dave Eide, Traditional Naturopath practices at The Natural Path and has 34 years of experience (03/12/2018)

One of the common things I see with my clients is they have gone on the internet and determined that they have a toxin and this will work for that toxin based on symptomology - which is a place to start. The key issue is though, to detox the human body if you start with something in a straight detox and you haven’t opened up all the exits for the cleanse to come out, you will not detox. You will accomplish anything from nothing to getting sick, and you will be doing it in grand style. Usually at the rate …

Neuromuscular Massage Therapy - What conditions can it help with?

Anne L'Esperance, Neuromuscular Therapist, Certified Massage Therapist practices at Y Wellness and has 22 years of experience (03/12/2018)

A lot of people think that you have to be a pro athlete to have a sports injury or injury from doing the same movement over and over again. It is not just the wild players that do the same movement over and over again. Think about somebody who's working in a factory, who's on a manufacturing line, and they're moving the same piece, in the same direction and doing the same movement over and over again.....So massage works to break down the scar tissue and to bring more blood into your muscles after you've had an injury...Along with increasing …

When someone walks in through that door, do you look at them through Acupuncture lens or do you combine your knowledge of different modalities and give them a different welcome? Whats your process?

Libby Weibel, L.Ac. and MFT Practitioner practices at Aculove and has 15 years of experience (03/12/2018)

Question for Libby: When someone walks in through that door, do you look at them through Acupuncture lens or do you combine your knowledge of different modalities and give them a different welcome? How do you start your process? Well, the clinical answer I would give you is of course I look at them with an acupuncture lens, but the honest answer is that I look at them with an intuitive lens. One thing that’s a little bit different about me is I can sense energy and I’m extremely intuitive, so I will often just kind of know like I’ll just kind of …

Does acupuncture work? Does chiropractic work? Does aromatherapy work? Does eating healthy work? - Libby Weibel

Libby Weibel, L.Ac. and MFT Practitioner practices at Aculove and has 15 years of experience (03/12/2018)

So people say,”Does acupuncture work? Does chiropractic work? Does aromatherapy work? Does eating healthy work?” And yes, they work. They all work. We have research; we have anecdotal information, we have testimonials, we have healed clients, we have miracles that we get to witness every day in our clinic. Which, by the way, is my favorite thing about what I do. So it all works. But what resonates with you? So what if we could start asking questions like, “What resonates with you as the first thing you want to try?”....

Who is a good acupuncturist to work with? How do you pick your acupuncturist? Dr. Josh Eha explains

In this video, we asked Dr. Josh Eha, DAOM, L.Ac., C.SMA, what his recommendation would be to someone who is thinking of working with an acupuncturist. Who is a good acupuncturist to work with? How do you pick your acupuncturist? After all, this is not a form of medicine that most people are familiar with. Here's what he had to say. There's a lot of benefit to acupuncture.

How is disease diagnosed in Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine? Dr. Josh Eha explains.

Question for Dr. Josh Eha: When someone walks in through the door, how does a traditional Chinese medicine expert such as you, start the diagnosis process? Is it similar to Western medicine when they bring in a bunch of paperwork or run a bunch of lab reports or what's your procedure? That's a very good question.  I think the approach a practitioner takes from any medicine, has a huge impact on the results they're going to get with the patient. My particular approach and one that many of us practitioners use, is an interview process that's extensive. I don't spend 10 or …

What is the role of Acupuncture needles in Acupuncture treatment? Why and how are they used?

Question for Dr. Josh: To somebody who is very fearful of needles, can you explain why acupuncture relies on needles, what's the point and why needles are an essential part of the treatment, but also maybe why not fear it?  Yeah that's a good question. Acupuncture uses needles in order to coerce the nervous system to be in harmony with itself. There's a lot of competing vibrations and effects that the body sends back to the brain, in terms of the stimulation, and when those aren't working together we have dis-integration or dis-ease in the body.  What the acupuncture needle does, …
