Those who have had a Neural Therapy (NT) Treatment with me know the closing “suggestions:”
- Drink warm water for 24 hours
- Note a change in your symptoms and where they change for 24 hours
- No Pork - ham, bacon, sausage or pepperoni
- Call me if you have any questions
There are really no other restrictions with Neural Therapy. Drink a glass of wine? Fine. Exercise or work out? Great. Dietary Restrictions? Only pork.
So what is it with Neural Therapy and pork? Neural Therapy works to “clear” the space inside your cells as well as the space surrounding all of your cells (called the Extracellular Matrix or ECM). If you’ve ever snorkeled or SCUBA-dived in crystal clear waters as well as in a lake you know there is a BIG difference in the clarity of water. If we compare that to the fluid in your body and cells you will get some idea of how a “cloudy” ECM could affect you. When you’re diving in crystal-clear water you can see a long distance. Similarly, communication between your brain and cells in a “clear” environment allows clear messages to be sent and received and therefore you have no symptoms.
If the ECM is cloudy (think muddy lake after a heavy rain where you have difficulty seeing your hand in front of your mask), the communication between your cells and your brain is difficult and distorted. Did the cell “say” that it needs more or different hormones? Is it too hot or did it say too cold? It’s difficult to “hear” with a cloudy ECM.
The way that humans process pork, in essence, clouds the Extracellular Matrix (ECM), this space between cells. Additionally, pork has a lot of histamines (think allergies) in its cells and this clouds up the inside of each cell. As you clear up this ECM with Neural Therapy, the pork simply makes it cloudy once again.
What does this really matter in healing? Our dog Dusty (read the post “How Neural Therapy Found Me”) wasn’t progressing nearly as quickly as I knew was possible with Neural Therapy. When I realized that one of the supplements that we were feeding contained pork I stopped feeding it immediately. It was then that his healing took off in leaps and bounds.
Even without Neural Therapy, limiting or ridding your diet of pork can greatly impact the clarity with which your cells can communicate their needs to your brain. Your body will thank you!
