It's really a pleasure to be here and have an opportunity to speak to you today.
I hope that I can help every single one of you.
Basically, I think when you approach a patient, you have to ask him, first of all, when did you get sick and what was going on in your life just before then?
Because frequently there's an emotional trauma or some sort of stress that triggered them off well, at the very start. Then you've got to ask them, when do you get sick? Where do you get sick and where do you get sick there? Anything. Just ask those simple questions.
I think that you'll find that you'll get answers right away as to why someone's having trouble.
Many times they know the cause of their trouble, but they're married to the wrong person. And it's it's a constant thorn in their in their shoe is something like that. And at some point, they have to figure out what they're going to do about that. So many times people can figure out why they're sick. Now, as far as the illness. Oh, what part of your body is affected? Well, people when you think about allergy, you think about hay fever and asthma, itchy skin. Listen, I'm an allergist. Board certified in allergy and pediatrics and environmental medicine. And when I first went into allergy, I didn't have any idea that allergies could affect any area of the brain. And they can cause someone to suddenly become crawl under the furniture and hide, become aggressive, go into the street and lay down and hope the car runs over them.
These are things that people don't think of. Many of the patients I saw couldn't walk normally, couldn't speak normally. They had all kinds of problems affecting many areas of the body. How do you approach that kind of a problem?
Well, first of all, if you think it's dust, more pollen or chemicals given air purifier like in Austin Air a u. S t i n run anywhere from four hundred seven hundred dollars, but they will clear the dust, mold and pollen out of the air. The most impressive patient I saw was a mother who had a little baby that screamed all the time.
She put the air purifier in the room. She bought it. And 15 minutes later she went racing in the room thinking the child was. The infant was dead.
It was the first time the baby was quiet and she didn't. She was very relieved when she realized there was nothing going on in the air purifier and helped.
I think that that's very dramatic.
And I
