Asthms and Allergy Solutions in Plano, Frisco Area

I am an advocate for wholistic medicine.....and I am also in the medical profession (most people find that odd). I have seen a chiropractor for several issues and have been very pleased with the results. I have several friends that have told me success stories of either their children or friends children that also saw a chiropractor and were very pleased with the results. Dr. Kelly Martin is based out of Frisco.....don't know her # off the top of my head. Hope this helps!!

Check into NAET. They look for allergies through muscle response testing. Then they clear the allergies through accupressure. The initial cost is a little pricey but if the allergen hasn't cleared then its free when you go back. I think Iva lim peck is in plano. Just get on the naet website and it will give you a list of practicioners in your area. You can call and ask more about it. My daughter has had allergies for a while and I had this done and we have had no issues. We went back once because the mold hadn't cleared and she has been great. No more antihistamines and no more nasonex. Check into it. Its really hard to believe until you are it done. We used Dr Jennifer polen from dehart chiropractic in Denton. They got me in the same week and there was no wait time. Let me know if you have more questions.

I have heard that local farmed honey once a dày is like taking any allergy shot? I would look it up on the internet, also a natural doctor or Do might help. I know there are several in the area? Good Luck!

Hi K., my friend has had tremendous results with her children with severe allergies and asthma by drinking Monavie. Significant results. And she was also looking for a natural "cure" - tired of pushing the meds. 2 oz. a day is like getting 6 servings of fruits/veggies, and 4 oz. a day is like getting 13 servings. 19 fruits, including seeds, pulp and skin so it's super healthy and EASY for adults and kids to actually get in our daily recommended servings. No one does it on their own. We're too busy. So just by drinking that everyday has been amazing just to see the difference it makes when food heals our bodies -- feeding it what it needs. Our family drinks it, too and loves it. I can go on and on but it's done wonderous things for people old and young alike in terms of much better health. Would love to talk more if you want (____@____.com). Can get you a bottle to try; I'm in your area weekly for work.

K.,
Homeopathy is amazing for this. Dr. Dan Cook in Dallas is a homeopath and has helped our family for years with asthma.
###-###-####. My niece had asthma when shse was little and soon after seeing him she was off inhalers and has been now for years. She is now 26!
It is the most gentle way to heal the body.

My son was put on some medicine too when we first moved here and we ended up taking him off all of it and doing a nasal rinse instead. You can get a netti pot (he didn't like that) or a nasal rinse bottle at either a health food store or I got the bottle one at Target (you have to ask the pharmacist b/c it's behind the counter, but you don't need a perscription). I showed him how to do it, showed him video and he tried it. He's still not GREAT at doing it, but it has helped him soooo much. His must be seasonal b/c we just make him do it when we notice the symptoms of allergies (dark circles under his eyes, stomach ache, etc.) We also have him shower in a warm/steamy shower and blow "snot rockets" yes, it's gross, but it does the trick. He holds one side of his nostril closed and blows hard to get the snot out of the other one and then does the other side. The final thing we do when it's that time of year is he eats toast with some local honey on it in the morning as part of his breakfast. Some say that local bees get into the same pollen, etc. that we do and therefore giving someone honey from a local bee helps them to develop the immunities??? I'm probably not explaining it right, but we've used that too and all of it seems to help.

I work with the Number 1 Natural Nutrition Company in the USA, called Shaklee. The products are safe, effective and actually work. I invite you to consider safe "alternatives" and contact me, so I may have the opportunity to offer you some ideas. Feel free to check out my website. www.shaklee.net/gswartw

I know how you feel about all the meds. I have 2 boys (now 3y and 6y) with asthma/allergies. The meds were out of this world, and even worse if they were in the throws of an attack. An attack would bring steroids, inhaler (am/pm), nasonex, claritin, albuterol (every 1 to 4 hours) and pulmicort, not to mention an the antibiotics that usually fell into the mix. I spent a good portion of the day just administering drugs and hated it. Their bodies just seemed too small to have to pump that much into them. However, I am not sure that there was a holistic or homeopathic method that would have got them through it. I found that once I got a doctor who's concentrations was asthma and allergies/pulmonologist they were able to control the asthma and severely reduce the daily meds and number of asthmatic attacks. Getting it under control was the key. Now, they have one inhaler and I can tell when seasonal allergies are coming for claritin. It is amazing. I can tell when the airway restriction is coming and I knock it out with a nebulizer before it ever hits hard, which if truly far and few between as it was before. My 3yr old has hardly ever had to take steroids.

I know this is not what you are asking for, but I thought I would throw it out there. I wish I had found Dr. VanWaggoner/Plano long before I did. It could have saved several vacations, school days, etc.

I hope you find something that helps. If you are interested in Dr. V's contact information I will gladly send it to you.

Good Luck !

I have experienced that non-toxic cleaners and laundry soaps are very helpful with fighting asthma and allergies. Call me and I can give you more info about how you can change your entire home over to these type of product VERY inexpensively!!! I can also share sucess stories with you. ###-###-#### or ____@____.com

I have used Dr. Greg Steiner who does accupuncture to eliminate my allergies. My friend took her 4 year old to him as well and also had great success! He is in Allen and his number is ###-###-####. None of the prescription stuff worked on me so this was a real God send. Most insurance covers it and it usually gets resolved in a few visits.

I have allergy treatments and it works for me and children I know at Tom Esposito chiropractor- His number is ###-###-#### He is at country club and josey. he is wonderful

I take Vemma, and I had such wonderful results that it ended up being a business for me. I heard a surgeon that had also been helped as I had, telling about putting his grandson on it. He has had upper respiratory problems since birth, and this past 18 months on Vemma, his grandson has had the healthiest time of his life. Children take a child size portion of the liquid formula. Now they are coming out on September 1st with a children's formula called Vemma Next, with the things needed for child development added, such as DHA. Our four year old granddaughter takes Vemma and has for a year; she doesn't get sick like she used to from the things going around the daycare. Her allergies are not an issue anymore. I can hardly wait until they get the children's formula out. I will order the travel size bottles so I can have samples to give out. It is supposed to taste great. The regular Vemma tastes great, so I am sure this will. Vemma stands for vitamins, essential minerals, mangosteen, and aloe vera. The formula is clinically tested and found to be in the top 1% of its kind. Simply works for allowing the body to heal itself with the proper nutrition it needs. There is a link that has the CEO, a father of twins that are 1 1/2 and a 3 year old, telling about it. If I close this to find it, I will lose what I typed. If interested though, I can send that link to you. http://www.myvemma.com/annnoble

A few suggestions:

NatraBio Allergy Relief tablets (1 a day; a homeopathic formula that dissolves quickly in the mouth) -- our pediatrician recommended these and after about a week I saw a difference. Family Health Market on Preston Road in Frisco carries these.

Xlear nose spray for kids (also at Family Health Market) it has an elephant on the front and we call it a "nose hose". A squirt up each nostril night and day followed by a few nose blows and it has made a *tremendous* difference. Also at Family Health Market.

Sambucus brand Elderberry Syrup (at Whole Foods; other health stores as well) -- comes in a raspberry flavor -- this is a powerful immune enhancer. I give my 5-year-old son 1 tsp a day for a while and then take a break of a few days. 2tsp. if necessary as we come into cold and flu season.

So those are a few relatively inexpensive solutions to get the ball rolling while you look for alternatives to her current level of medication. Are you working with a holistically oriented pediatrician? We see Dr. Bain and her assistant at Healthy Kids Pediatrics in Frisco.

I would also recommend: A HEPA air filter for her bedroom (try Sears for these).

Dr. Steve Homoky for NAET (my MD recommended NAET) he's in Plano).

Dr. Alex Bekker for Homeopathy (he's in Dallas).

Also, the book Super Immunity for Kids by Leo Galland has been helpful to us. Magnesium supplements (like Natural Calm, available at Whole Foods) along with cod liver oil/essential fatty acids have been very helpful. You could start to implement the supplements/Xlear, HEPA filter, and nutritional changes and then go from there.

Have you converted your home to non-toxic cleaners yet? This could very well help.
