Here's a technique primarily for your female friends that can reduce breast tenderness in about 5 minutes right in the office. This is one of the most dramatic
things I have witnessed in clinical practice.
Do a self breast examination. If they felt tenderness above a certain pain
threshold they were to shown how to reduce or fix the problem.
And it worked every time and continues to work in clinical practice.
Let me tell you about how to perform the test first before we go into why it
works. Participants would rate their breast tenderness on a 1-10 scale with 10
being the most painful. Then the ones with the most pain, usually 5 or higher,
would taste different nutrients for 30 seconds and re-evaluate the tenderness,
meaning if the pain lessened. Sometimes the pain would become greater, signaling that was not a good nutrient for that particular patient. You'll see why in a moment.
After tasting anywhere from 1 - 5 nutrients all participants discovered a substance that would dramatically reduce their breast pain. I must confess
it was always amazing to watch the body decide which substance would fix
the problem. Sometimes it would be one of my favorite products and predictable,
but often the product that would take the pain away was one I would
never think to give.
So why did it work? It worked because breast tissue is honeycombed with lymph
nodes. When the lymph system gets sluggish and the fluid gets congested and can't drain, the nodes become painful and often small cysts can develop. Where does the lymph fluid drain? In the bowel. Obviously tasting the nutrient provided momentary relief, but with the right therapy, we can open the drain and the fluid will begin to move.
Taking it the next step, one of the roles of the liver/gallbladder is to keep the bowel moving. So the nutrients we sampled were things to optimize gallbladder function like TMG, beets, or Phosphatidylcholine. If that didn't seem to make a difference, we tested nutrients for bowel health and cleansing. Often the oregano product, or garlic would make a big difference. As you may know, both are valuable to normalize weird bacteria and yeast overgrowth. Sometimes
EFA's would be the nutrients that would make the biggest difference in pain or tenderness reduction.
Tasting nutrients to see if they affect certain functional issues is called Neuro-Lingual Testing. Neuro-Lingual Testing is a familiar concept for many of you, but for those who are not familiar with it, let me give you a brief explanation. Whenever we taste something, immediately nerve signals in our mouth transmit a signal to our brain about the substance. The brain identifies properties in the substance tasted and makes a lightning fast decision about what it will do to the body.
In a similar way, the modified Coca Pulse Test identifies possible allergy foods by taking ones' pulse for 60 seconds to establish a baseline; tasting the food for 30 seconds to allow the body to react; and with the food still in the mouth, retesting the pulse for 60 seconds to measure the reaction.
If the reaction is 4 points or higher, that food is not recommended for a period of time. The brain made a decision regarding a food, and the reaction was an increased pulse. You can do the same for a given vitamin, food, or even steroid.
Neuro-lingual testing uses the body to screen neurologically nutrients that may have the greatest therapeutic value. The point for our discussion on breast tenderness is that neuro-lingual testing can have rapid responses for many situations and can help us assess which foods or nutrients can benefit our patients.
Hers’s how it works:
Push the tender spot on the breast. Give 1000 calcium pill, and they chew it up. Wait for 45-60 seconds, then press on the breast spot again. The pain is virtually gone for all women. So I encourage them to take a calcium-magnesium supplement when this phenomenon occurs. Keep trying different nutrient listed above to see which works the best.
