Each of us has the divine gift for self-healing. But often the body’s attempts for realization of this principle is thwarted by infection, toxicants, emotional traumas and our own unique genetic make-up. My approach to healing focuses on the following approach:
- Laying out the blue-print for the person via an in-depth history, physical assessment and supporting laboratory findings.
- Based on the above, adjusting the child’s external terrain to minimize toxic exposures.
- Begin to work on the internal terrain to get the body communicating again.
The internal terrain work often begins with the gut. The aspects to gut healing include repairing intestinal permeability, rebalancing the microbiome, assisting with food breakdown via enzymes and restoring nutrients to support biological functions. If we can jump-start the gut health, individuals often report better health and other treatments can ensure.
Next phases may center around detoxification and there are many ways to approach this complicated subject. My favorites include German Biological Medicine (with the emphasis on clearing the extracellular matrix of cells) due to its efficacy and gentleness for many individuals.
Getting to the root cause may then bring to light chronic infections such as Lyme, co-infections, Epstein Barr Virus or Herpes Virus to name a few. As the vitality of the child sparks, the immune system may come on board so that deep healing can take place. There are a vast array of treatment plans for infection and each plan is tailored individually.
Emotional healing is a key component of healing and some of the tools I like to employ include homeopathics combined with various types of hands-on manipulative medicine as well as therapies such as mindfulness, talk therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique and Neurofeedback programs.
It takes a broad palette as well as a various team of artists to assist the person in their healing journey and many of us will play a role in restoring the original work of art. Making our Children Well, Dr. Perro’s sequel to, What’s Making our Children Sick?, will be released in 2023, designed as a guide to re-educate and re-empower parents to care for their families.
