9.5 month old baby girl
This is actually a post about my own daughter! I find it really hard to treat my own kids when they’re small. She has been seeing two very experienced chiros (35+years in practise) - I myself have only been practicing 4 years. She was born incredibly quickly at home, labour was approx 1 hour. Then a very stressful first hour or two where the emergency team (called by the midwives who didn’t arrive in time) acted like the birth had been a medical emergency (it hadn’t) and refused to leave. Mdiwife arrived and incompetent- botched my stitches very painful etc so her start to life was far from Ideal. She is generally a very happy girl now but she doesn’t sleep without being constantly latched on for hours over night and it’s killing me! Palet is high and narrow. Expanding gradually but potentially upsetting her airways? She had slight R torticollis - now resolved. If I unlatch her she’s frantically looking for the breast and wakes upset. Tongue tie was (regretfully) cut at 5 weeks. Latch has never been painful for me but she did really struggle to stay on, slipping off, clicking etc. I’m wondering if a retained fear paralysis? But I don’t know how to resolve. Or shock from her birth? Any help very much appreciated for this insanely sleep deprived mum!
Start with Food Foundations Focus on broadening your intake of nutrients required for methylation, including: - vitamin B9 (folate) - vitamin B12 - vitamin B2 - vitamin B6 - choline - glycine Food sources include: Protein-rich foods - eggs - red meat - liver and organ meats - shellfish Choline-rich foods - egg yolks - liver - dairy Glycine-rich foods - slow-cooked meats - gelatinous cuts - meat broths These nutrients provide the building blocks required for: - neurotransmitter production - detoxification pathways - nervous system stability Eat Enough and Include the Right Carbohydrates Methylation and nervous system regulation are energy-dependent. If you are: - under-eating - skipping meals - avoiding carbohydrates …the body will rely more heavily on stress hormones. This increases: - nervous system activation - histamine activity - overall system load Support this by: - eating regular meals - ensuring adequate calorie intake - including easy-to-digest carbohydrates (fruit, root vegetables) This helps: - stabilise blood sugar - reduce stress hormone output - support mitochondrial energy production Targeted Support (When Needed) Once food foundations are in place, some people benefit from additional support. This may include: - a high-quality multivitamin - methylation-support nutrients (introduced gradually) - magnesium - glycine In sensitive individuals, particularly those with SNPs affecting methylation pathways: - start low - build gradually - consider methyl-free forms (folinic acid, hydroxy B12) Some people notice that as these pathways are supported:→ their overall stress tolerance improves→ their nervous system feels calmer The external stress may not change —but their capacity to handle it does.
In short you might both feel calmer and sturdier with these foods and supps.
Strep
“I have a pediatric patient who struggled with strep last year. He did really well this year after completing the Strep Protocol—until this week. He’s usually presents wiht a pink eye, which mom recognizes as his early sign that the strep may be returning. I’m curious—have you seen cases where strep reappears? They’ve been doing the protocol intermittently this winter, but not as consistently as they were last year when he was doing so well.”
100% on water and sleep. Glycine can bolster the immune system too.
Norovirus
I have a 2 yo patient who had norovirus months ago and her digestion has not been the same. She went from constant constipation to diarrhea, her stomach hurting, and she does not want to eat. Mom currently has her on Bio Gia which ingredients include - Sunflower oil, Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938, vitamin D and vitamin E. I wonder if the sunflower oil is making it worse and what probiotic would you recommend. I usually like Klaire Labs.
HI I'd go the HistamineX from Seeking Health Nicole and also i'd be giving her some well cooked carrots (peeled) leave then like long finger foods with some coconut oil and apple cider vinegar, little bit of sea salt (so like the carrot salad but with well cooked carrots) and see if she really wants that. Then I'd do it as the raw carrot salad but shredded and alternate so she doesn't get bored. It's fabulous for clearing lingering gastro stuff and then hopefully her appetite bounces back
Teeth
Hello!! From Mum “I have taken Amelie to the dentist from a young age and they had told me that she had weak enamels. This lead to her getting cavities very early on. I was a bit confused as we had limited sugar and were very regular with her brushing. She was breastfed for a long time and they seem to think that cavities could also have been due to her falling asleep while being breastfed. Teeth were so weak that they had placed caps to protect them. The top 4 front teeth have caps on them along with silver caps on her back teeth. Her front tooth however broke in half (even with cap on) after eating a piece of carrot. So she then had to have surgery to remove that tooth's root. She regularly goes in for check ups and she gets fillings when needed. So far, she has had one milk tooth naturally fall out and replaced with a permanent tooth. Please let me know if there's any other information you may need 😊 I really appreciate you looking into it as I haven't been able to get answers from dentists.” Photos attached

Zach you'' need to ask these questions delicately ,.....was the Mum vegan or vegetarian for a period of time prior to pregnancy or during? Did she take a lot of organ meat capsules after being vegan or vegetarian? I see this combo of steps a lot leading to this. If not do you know if the Mum has a previous history of anorexia or a cause for being depleted in nutrients.
Rash/skin condition
72yo F, itchy rash started on neck a few weeks ago, moved to brows, chest and behind the knee, itchy rash and itchy eyes. Currently taking homeopathics for it without any change. This woman has had network chiro care forever and used to be a CA so is really curious about natural approaches to this. The raised bumpy parts/welts in lower neck have appeared in last week. Only clinical findings from her care I can think may be relevant are calcified aorta (managing with Dr) whiplash 4years ago
Rash/skin condition
@Zachary Trajkovski Looks like it might be histamine reactions. Histamines are an important aspect of the immune system but some people have an overflowing bucket. Either from too many histamines (overload) that the body can break down efficiently or they have SNPs on related genes that break histamines down. Does she get other histamine reactions? Skin issues, food sensitivities, Allergies? Get her to see if she's been eating more? - Aged cheeses, Fermented foods, Alcohol, Leftovers, Processed meats New creams, cleaning products, pollen, dust etc New probiotic - some encourage histamine releasing bacteria - so not ideal. She could avoid high and moderate histamines for a period. She could eat kidney - it's high in DAO enzyme - which breaks down histamine She could get a DAO enzyme - capsules Seeking Health also do a HistamineX - a probiotic that doesn't feed histmine releasing bacteria - she can hold on her tongue...
