Treatments
I’ll briefly cover some
of the ways that balance can be restored
in the ANS. As previously
mentioned
diet and nutrients can
and should be utilized
to achieve that goal.
Beyond that, specific
adjustments at the spinal level can be used
to either stimulate or
inhibit the ANS. I have
found cold laser therapy to be of great value.
It can reset the ANS
to a more normal setting very quickly. For
example, if one has
adrenal
exhaustion,
by gently stimulating
the joint with repetitive light tugs and at
the same time pointing the laser light at
the brain stem, there
will be a rapid reset
of the adrenals. This
is from the work of
Dr. George Gonzalez,
DC,QN. Color therapy
is also very powerful.
By monitoring reflexes,
I find the color that
balances the body and
incorporate that color
into the person’s therapy. The person could
look through a colored film, use colored
glasses, cover a lamp
with the color, and so
on. Sound can also
work very nicely.
If
I’m using tuning forks
I would test each one
until I found the frequency that balanced
the body. This will be
displayed by the elimi-
14
nation of the postural
distortion one displays
on my treatment table.
Specific exercises can
be of value tailored to
the imbalance of the
individual.
Someone
on sympathetic overload would not want
to do intensive exercise that enhanced the
sympathetic system.
It would also be beneficial to monitor heart
rate. After establishing
a base line, if the heart
rate is up 10 points or
more in the morning it
would be best not to
train that day.
