Alternative therapy for bladder and bowel problems

Here, after a very successful session at the recent Incontact conference, Irene Lambert outlines the practice of Kinesiology.

Each one of us is unique, carrying within our bodies our own varying amounts of physical pain and discomfort. They are the physical manifestations of all the problems and stresses experienced over our entire lifetime. This is normal and fortunately can be addressed by understanding and responding positively. We need to take responsibility and look into our own lives and address the fundamental root causes of our problems.

All good medical practitioners now acknowledge the need to consider the mind and spirit of a person as well as the body. They are all interconnected. I have been privileged to be able to demonstrate, with 'taster' sessions and a workshop, this linkage and the effects on the body. Most people at the 2003 Conference were able to gain some understanding of the root causes of their problems through a technique called 'Health Kinesiology' (bio energetic feedback by muscle testing).

Some of my most successful results have been with irritable bowel syndrome (I.B.S.), identifying causal allergies or tolerance problems to many substances including a number of common foodstuffs. To a Health Kinesiologist, an allergy is a reaction to a substance that the body no longer recognises and hence deals with inappropriately at a cellular level. Similar, but to a lesser degree, is a tolerance problem, when the body still recognises the substance but then can only metabolise a very small amount before it too starts to cause a problem. For instance, a client may not have an allergy to wheat but a tolerance problem. By testing it is found the client can eat one slice of bread as a portion but the portion can only be eaten every few days. Symptoms only occur if the substance is eaten more often. Treatment is simple once the tolerance problem has been identified: reduce the frequency of consumption and eat within tolerance levels of the substance.

It is now also widely accepted that traumas, grief and fears all play a part in reducing the effectiveness of how our bodies function. Grief is a natural process but without help it is easy to become stuck instead of gently progressing through the stages of recovery. Health Kinesiology can often help in such cases by unlocking limiting beliefs, phobias and fears, thereby reducing pain. Looking forward, there is nothing to lose except fear and physical symptoms, and everything to gain.
