Trouble: What Can I Do?

Last month, Laurin, a mother of two, called to ask me if vibration could help her son Michael with his allergies. She told me that he had developed allergies as a small child and that over the years they had tried all kinds of over-the-counter drugs, prescription medications, and natural products without significant relief.  Now he is a senior in high school, and for the last three years his allergies have been worse; for three years his nose has been so stuffed up that he’s been breathing through his mouth. Laurin was worried how Michael would cope at college next year.

There are, in fact, many effects of Whole Body Vibration which can help to calm allergies. A powerful detoxification effect, as muscle fibers tense and relax in response to vibration which massages the lymph system moving inflammatory toxins out of the body.  Human growth hormone, our major repair and regeneration hormone, increases, stimulating healing throughout the body. Circulation also increases, bringing nutrients and oxygen to all cells which optimizes cellular function. Finally, an acupuncture type of effect on the body’s electromagnetic system rapidly decreases pain and inflammation.

Allergies Rapidly Disappear:

Michael started with three minutes of gentle vibration twice a week, along with a few natural supplements to aid in calming down his immune system. Three days after the first session, Laurin called to tell me that her son had stopped sneezing, and that she wanted to buy a vibration machine.

However, one week later Michael’s nose was still stuffed up. I added another supplement and advised Michael to do less vibration – now that he had his own machine he was enthusiastically doing 5 minutes every day, but more vibration is not always better! Vibration has such powerful effects on the body that too much too quickly can be a strain on an already weakened system. Shortly after that, Michael was breathing through his nose for the first time in years.

Husband Tom Is Stressed:

Laurin’s husband Tom came to see me next. He had some concerns about his long-term health. He had recently gotten abnormal test results back, and now his doctor wanted more tests, to check for cancer among other things. In addition, Tom’s two children are headed for college soon, business is slow and the economy is tough… Tom was stressed out!

Luckily, vibration has huge anti-depressant and anti-anxiety effects. Serotonin levels, our major natural anti-depressant brain chemical, shoot up with vibration. Many people report that they are calmer and in a better mood within hours of their first vibration session and they typically sleep better, and have more energy, motivation, and focus for several days.

For Tom I advised a natural product that absorbs toxins in the bloodstream along with daily vibration, and a homeopathic remedy for stress and anxiety. One week later he reported feeling markedly calmer. He told me that he no longer wakes up in the morning tense and worried about the day’s work. Two weeks after starting vibration Tom underwent his new medical tests and his doctor gave him a clean bill of health – all of his medical tests and numbers are now normal.

Laurin Is Exhausted:

Laurin has a husband, a job, and two children; there’s a lot to do, but she’s so tired when she gets home from work that all she wants to do is sit on the couch.

Vibration has numerous effects that raise energy. Several hormones involved with energy increase: norepinephrine, which is linked to energy through the “fight or flight reaction,” and testosterone, which gives both men and women energy as well as an increased libido. Add to this the anti-depressant effect, and an increase in circulation bringing nutrients and oxygen to cells, and you may suddenly be full of vim and vigor.

Laurin had tried to use their new vibration machine when they first got it, but she broke out in hives and her chronic itchiness got worse. For Laurin, I advised a few easy diet modifications and natural supplements to promote a healthy balance of gut flora. Gut imbalances are very common in America due to poor nutrition, high stress levels, and the overuse of antibiotics. Controlling this problem would take a source of strain off her immune system, allowing her to tolerate more vibration.

With the combination of this approach and a little vibration, Laurin was soon telling me that her energy had increased, and she was no longer heading for the couch as soon as she got home from work! Two weeks after starting her vibration program Laurin’s chronic itchiness was down and her energy level up.

The Whole Family Is Energized:

It is now one month after this family started vibration therapy and everyone is happier, and able to put renewed attention and energy towards the many challenges of this busy, fast-paced world. Isn’t that what we all need?
