Nutritional/Lifestyle Counseling
NUTRITION RESPONSE TESTING: A
non-invasive system of analyzing the body to determine the underlying causes of ill or non-optimum health. Developed
by Dr. Freddie Ulan, this clinically proven system is quite different from any other healing practice. Chiropractic
treatments work best in an environment of optimum nutrition and reduced stress. That’s why Dr. Porter provides special
nutritional and lifestyle counseling. He can recommend various supplements to aid in your treatment and recovery.
Accelerated Allergy Clearing TechniqueSM (AACT)
Dr. Porter now
has a genuinely innovative system for dealing with allergies. It is a natural, drugless, painless, non-invasive
method that can be used safely for anyone from infants to seniors to eliminate allergies and symptoms arising from previous
exposure to allergens. He does this by stimulating the gate (acupuncture) points in the body with cold light laser.
Sensitivities
to allergens are cleared one at a time with the technique, and optimum outcome is obtained if allergens are cleared
in a specific sequence. Depending on the individual, one or more particular things are cleared on a given
day. In many cases, that's all it takes. Individuals who are highly sensitive may sometimes require additional
combination clearings.
Some of the theory and terminology used in AACT procedure is drawn from oriental medicine ~ more
specifically acupuncture.
Advantages
of Accelerated Allergy Clearing Technique (AACT)
- Multiple allergies can be safely and effectively run at the same time
- Multiple sessions can be safely and effectively given the same day (3 hours apart)
- No "avoidance" is required on most allergens
- No "rest period" is needed after each session
- Gains have been more stable in our practice
- Easy
maintenance procedure to continue gains
- Organ and/or
body part specific
- No "after-session" reactions
Note: Dr. Porter was trained in AACT by Dr. Freddie Ulan, D.C., C.C.N. and
Dr. Lester Bryman, D.C., C.D.N. of Ulan Nutritional Systems, Inc., Clearwater, FL. "We wish to acknowledge the
geniuses who developed the basic principles of this type of allergy work, without which we would not have been able to develop
our own breakthroughs, which, in our opinion, and without invalidating any of the earlier works, take this type of work to
a whole new level of effectiveness for our type of practice."
What are allergies?
Definition: Allergy - An allergy is an abnormal physical reaction
to substances known as allergens. These substances can either be toxins, such as automobile exhaust fumes or pesticides,
or non-toxins, such as pollens or foods. When exposed to allergens, you develop an excess of an antibody called Immunoglobulin
E (IgE). These antibodies react with allergens to release histamines from cell tissues, producing various allergic symptoms.
Definition: Sensitivity - Millions of people experience allergic symptoms without an
antibody reaction. These people can be said to have an intolerance or sensitivity to particular substances.
Allergies
are really just a case of mistaken identity. Your body comes in contact with an ordinarily harmless - and sometimes
even helpful substance, an allergen, for example: pollen, pet hair, molds, milk, dust and even vitamins and protein.
Your immune system mistakenly identifies these substances as harmful.
Your immune system then overreacts to these allergens by attacking them as if they were an illness.
As a result you get allergic symptoms such as: runny nose, watery eyes, stuffy nose. Even symptoms you may not
have thought were the result of allergies (really are the result of allergies). Symptoms such as: fatigue, digestive
trouble, gas, bloating and so on often are caused by allergies. Many common health conditions are also merely a sign
of underlying allergies.
Cold Laser Therapy
Is based on photochemical and photo biological effects in cells and tissues. With laser light “certain
cell functions are stimulated,” especially the increase of a cell’s ATP energy, and the production of proteins.
Cold laser therapy is used to treat a wide variety of acute and chronic musculoskeletal aches and pains. The Erchonia
Medical Laser that is used by Dr. Porter made medical history on January 17, 2002, by being the first low level laser in the
United States to be given marketing clearance by the FDA for the treatment of chronic neck and shoulder pain.
EB Cellular Cleanse
Therapy
Is
based on bioenergetics technology, creating an energy field similar to the energy produced by the human body. This field
stimulates cellular energy and enhances the body’s ability to internally cleanse itself naturally, at an increased rate,
restoring and normalizing the body’s correct ph balance and energy levels. The EB cleanse uses an aqeous solution
(water & sodium chloride) in a foot bath as a conduit for exchanging ions. The energy field created within the body
draws negative and positive ions together, helping negate their harmful effect while gently stimulating cellular cleansing.
Everyday your body is under constant assault from
an endless array of toxic encounters ... in the air you breathe, the water you drink, even the food you eat. While your
body has certain cleansing abilities, it can't keep up. Now there are steps to help cleanse harmful toxins from the
inside of your body ... it's called EB Cellular Cleanse Therapy.
We're taught as children the importance of hygiene, constantly washing our hands and bathing
daily, all to keep our body clean, and prevent illness from outside germs. What about the inside of our body and the
toxins exterior cleaning can't reach?
People are constantly being exposed to unhealth levels of pollution including dangerous toxins and heavy metals.
Consider our regular contact with:
- Air pollution
- Acid rain
- Fertilizers
- Contaminated, over chlorinated, or floridated water
- Rancid food from restaurants and stores
- Antibiotics
from direct and indirect sources
- Unhealthy food additives
The body's ability to cleanse itself internally simply becomes overloaded and toxic residues build up.
As a result, the body's cells can't work at peak efficiency, setting off a domino effect for physical ailments and potential
health problems.
- Immune deficiences
- Migraines
- Fatigue
- Decreased muscle function
- Loss
of flexibility
- Heart Disease
- Circulatory problems
- Memory impairments
The idea is similar to the way
a magnet works. Except, in this case, the magnetic force functions to help cancel out and eliminate harmful free radicals
and other toxins from the body. The EB uses a salt water solution in a foot bath as a conduit for exchanging ions.
The energy field created within the body draws negative and positive ions together, helping negate their harmful effect while
gently stimulating cellular cleansing. All you need to do is place your feet in the foot bath and relax for 25 minutes!
The EB uses direct micro-current, generating ions
between 300-400 mV, providing energy that is sub-threshold, and very similar to low voltage electro-stimulation or cold laser,
both of which have been proven to increase and create more cellular ATP (stored energy). This increase in cellular ATP
allows the cells to work and purge at a higher rate and to withstand external stressors that can be either physical or chemical.
PHYSIOTHERAPY:
Interferential Electro-Therapy
Is a therapeutic treatment to aid in the relief of pain and the
promotion of soft tissue healing. Tiny amounts of electrical impulses are induced into the tissues in the vicinity of
the injury. Where these waves intersect below the surface of the skin, a low-frequency stimulation is created.
This prompts the body to secrete endorphins and other natural pain killers to help relieve pain.
Intersegmental Traction
Is a way of inducing passive
motion into the spine for the purpose of stretching spinal joints, increasing mobility. The patient lies face up on
a bench table which has roller-type cams beneath its surface. These rollers can slowly travel the length of the spine,
stretching spinal joints. The gentle rolling action is restful, exercising the spine without effort.
