Expect A Miracle
Miracle of the Week - The Power of an Adjustment
March 26th 2011 04:23
Isabella was born on 25 July 2006 by caesarean section. Cassandra, being a good, conscientious Mum had taken her baby to be vaccinated as recommended on 27 September 2006 and again on 1 December 2006 at 2 months and 4 months of age.
Isabella began to suffer from seizures at about 3 months of age. Cassandra reported that further multiple seizures happened in late November and early December. At her worse Isabella was hooked up to a monitor which was recording up to 20 seizures a day.
Under medical supervision Isabella had undergone a brain ultra-sound and an abdominal ultra-sound – all were said to be clear, but obviously they were searching for answers.
At 3 month and 20 days of age, Cassandra on the suggestion of a friend brought Isabella into our clinic because as well as the seizures she was suffering from reflux for which she had been receiving tummy massage with some limited success.
Cassandra laid Isabella on the chiropractic table and she look as if the banana bender had ‘run a muck’. She was all twisted up and torsioned to the left. There was obvious pain in her eyes and she looked out at us as if to say “Yeh! Okay I know I am here in this world, but hell it hurts so much, I don’t really want to be here”.
What was I to do with this kid – all screwed up in pain, having regular multiple seizures and racked with the pain of reflux.
I looked at her Mum and just said, “I don’t know if we can help but the only thing I can do is adjust her and see what happens”. So that is what we did and I asked Cassandra if we could see her again the next to assess any change and to adjust her again if necessary.
The following day when I walked into the adjust room I was to see a Mum who was a completely different girl with a wonderful look of excitement on her face. Cassandra laid Isabella on the table and I moved over to have a look. She was lying on the table relaxed and straight with a grin on her face and a smile in her eyes which said, “Okay mate, I’m here – let’s play”.
We just looked at one another – ‘Wow – the power of an adjustment’! Mum had tears in her eyes and so did some others – not me of course!
Despite the enormous change we needed to find out why she had been in so much trouble.
With allergy testing we were able to determine that most of her troubles were related to heavy metals especially mercury. Some medications, soaps, deodorants, perfumes and some foods like tinned tuna were to be avoided.
With luck they were blessed enough to get a paediatric specialist at the Royal Children’s’ Hospital who was able to accept that mercury in vaccines was no good for Isabella. This along with any contact that he mother had with some foods such as tinned tuna, perfume and deodorants whilst she was being breast fed all seemed to aggravate the symptoms.
About three years later Cassandra presented us with a frame containing 3 pictures of Isabella:
1. All bent and twisted
2. A little girl hooked up to wires and a monitor
3. A happy smiling ‘chatterbox’ at 3 years of age.
While these framed pictures have pride of place on the wall of our clinic they can not equal the great pride we have in chiropractic whenever this little on breezes in the clinic with all her bounce and energy.
