When a scent is more than just a smell.

The very second you read these words, your brain is monitoring the light, heat, cold, sounds, smells, touch, and pressure all around you.  As sensory experience floods our system, it allows our brain to create meaning from our experiences.  Sensory specific stimulation can be a useful tool to stimulate the side of the brain you want to engage.   Floral scents will stimulate the left brain, spicy for right brain. 

 

 

In olfactory stimulation we use various scents or essential oils to stimulate your childs brain.  Olfactation is what is call an ipsilateral circuit.  It does not cross the midline like all other sensory information does.  Olfactory stimulation is done on the same side of the weak hemisphere, whereas all other stimulations are done on the opposite side of the weak hemisphere.

The IgG Food Allergy test measures the presence of IgG antibodies to specific food proteins.  If excessive intestinal permeability (leaky gut) is present, small amounts of food proteins enter the bloodstream.  The immune system builds an antibody to those foreign proteins, predominately as IgG.  IgG antibodies do not produce the immediate histamine response we associate with IgE antibodies--a runny nose or hives, for example. Therefore IgG reactions are often termed "food sensitivities" or "food intolerance."  IgG reactions tend to be more subtle-headaches, muscle aches or cognitive dysfunction.
A food elimination diet can be established based on results of this test and improvement of symptoms can be monitored.
