Beyond Symptom Relief: Healing Allergies and Eczema Naturally | Ep 271

[00:00:05] Your unconscious mind is powerful. It's the other 90% of your mind and yet you're not even taught about it at school. What if you could access the other 90%? It would be like driving the highway in 6th gear instead of 1st gear. That's what you're doing when you only know the tools of the conscious mind, the 10%. You're going through life in 1st gear.

[00:00:30] Are you ready to ramp up and go through life in 6th gear? Learn the powerful tools of your unconscious mind? Healing trauma, clearing anxiety in minutes rather than weeks, months and years?

[00:00:58] Imagine getting up every day full of energy as if you were in your 20s again. What would that be like? What would that be worth to you? What is your health worth to you? Think about it. Your health isn't everything, but without it, everything else is nothing. And yet too many of us are taking it for granted until something goes wrong.

[00:01:34] No one wakes up hoping to be diagnosed with a disease or chronic illness. And yet we've never been taught how to be proactive in our health through our school system or public health.

[00:01:44] As a registered health coach and integrative health practitioner, I believe it is time this information is made available to everyone. Combining new knowledge around your health and the ability to do my functional medicine lab tests in the comfort of your own home will allow you to optimize your health for today and all your tomorrows. Don't wait for your wake up call.

[00:02:12] Welcome back to another episode of the Don't Wait For Your Wake Up Call podcast. I am Melissa Deally, your host. This is a special Pota Palooza episode and today with me I have Christine Lauer. Welcome to the show, Christine. Thank you for having me. I am very excited to talk with you today. Christine helps people struggling with allergies and sensitivities who are tired of managing symptoms without real answers.

[00:02:39] Inspired by her husband's severe seasonal allergies and her daughter's eczema, she has spent over 20 years helping people find relief without shots or endless medications. Her work focuses on understanding and reducing inflammation using at home dry blood spot testing along with bioenergetics and gentle cold laser acupuncture to support the body's ability to heal itself.

[00:03:02] And I love what you say there because as an integrative health practitioner, I fully appreciate the body's ability to heal itself. And as a society, we've become very accustomed to a pill for every ill or, you know, a shot for everything, etc. And that doesn't have to be the only answers. There's more than one way for the body to heal.

[00:03:23] And so talk to me about, you know, helping your daughter through her eczema and helping your husband through his seasonal allergies and how they're doing today as a result of what you've learned. Okay, so yeah, I started doing this 20 years ago. And just to give you a little bit of context, my daughter is going to be 30 this year. Okay.

[00:03:47] So she was an infant and I was completely clueless for lack of a better word. She was doing fine. Everything was good. Then suddenly, you know, eczema crept up. She was scratching her arms, her legs till they were bleeding. Face red.

[00:04:12] I was in a state of panic all the time because I didn't know what to do anymore. You know, I had the traditional change your laundry detergent. Here's the cream. Switch to this formula and nothing worked. And at one point when she became one year of age, everything disappeared. Everything cleared up. And I hadn't made the connection then.

[00:04:42] I was just glad that, oh, she's good. All right. That's behind us. Yay. Move forward, right? New home. Oh my goodness. And when my daughter started getting into like preschool and everything else, I had met another mother. And I was starting to learn just a little bit about natural health. Right. Mainly omegas. Yes. And, oh, they're essential. Oh, where do you find out this information?

[00:05:12] Well, there's actually a nutrition school. There's a what? And I went in there. And once I went in, I realized, okay, I wasn't eating as well as I thought I was. And then all the pieces were put together. It was okay. So the formula I was giving my daughter put her into overload. And then it was okay.

[00:05:36] And then it was okay. You find out. You will find out all these different things.

[00:06:05] and that's where I learned about muscle testing and biofeedback and oh my gosh this is fascinating and that just took me on a trajectory and when I was partly through the program I started to learn and put everything together and realized bioenergetics and you can like

[00:06:34] everything is energy yeah and with my daughter she was she was okay at that point for the eczema but then it came back it was starting to come back behind her legs and I thought oh no not again and I kind of paused for a bit and I thought okay wait a minute I know my things now you know

[00:06:59] there's things I can do right and so I literally was using bioenergetics and I was already eating cleaner as a family and everything cleared up and went away and then my husband had allergies since he was 14 years of age pollen and I thought okay you'll be client number two

[00:07:24] let's let's see how this works for you and knock on wood he was fine ever since and he was debilitating like he literally couldn't function need to take a pill made him drowsy done for the day kind of right reaction right and it still fascinates me now when I have a client and I work on them and they say oh

[00:07:54] I'm fine now I can eat this now or I you know I can go outside and I'm okay with my pet and I'm literally just taking the frequency or the I call it the fingerprint what they're reacting to and sending it through their body using the laser acupuncture right and then the body recalibrates and

[00:08:19] starts to recognize the substance again and then they're okay and it's like this is the coolest thing ever you know um so we're so fortunate to be able to have stumbled on that yes and to be taken on that kind of trajectory and then taking what I was learning initially about the omegas

[00:08:44] and doing because some people are very skeptical for different things and the dry blood spot testing actually gives you something that you can actually see on a piece of paper and it measures your inflammation in the body yes and and it specifically targets your cells and your blood cells and the fatty acids and you can see okay this is a marker for this

[00:09:11] and let's do this and then you test again and you know there's a shift and so that's basically what I've I've been doing and um I love that you're doing that and you know as an integrative health practitioner I know exactly what you're talking about and the importance of omega-3s in today's world you know 80 percent of the globe is deficient in omega-3s because omega-6s are in everything

[00:09:36] and the body always wants to be in balance as you know and because omega-6s are in everything we need more omega-3s than ever in order to get have the right ratio you know back in our hunter-gather days their diet allowed the ratio was three omega-6s to one omega-3 today we say ideal is five to one however the average north american is 18 to one so we have to boost our omega-3s to bring the body

[00:10:05] back into balance and guess what you know this our body doesn't make these so the only way to do it is to get it through supplementation or our food and the best source of food is wild fatty fish and if we're not eating enough wild fatty fish like four times a day we are going to be deficient so I love you're talking about this because it's a big conversation I have as well it's so important

[00:10:30] for people to understand and and the really scary part is a lot of this omega supplements out there don't even work that's the only supplement it depends on the company that you're buying the supplement from and their purpose behind making the supplement is it for profit or is it for to support human health and I find it's the naturopathic doctors that are making supplements and that are

[00:10:57] putting the quality into them versus you know the big corporations that are just you know they know people will buy it so that and there's not even enough good quality ingredient in the supplement itself to make a difference and and that's where I find doing the dry blood spot testing yeah because all

[00:11:14] I have had people come back 36 to 1 40 47 to 1 wow um oh I'm taking a really good and I and I have to say this a vegan formula yes well we can't convert them we really don't convert them we don't convert it well and you need so much more for the body to be able to do anything with and I have fellow

[00:11:40] nutritionists and they'll do the test and they'll say oh maybe I just wasn't taking enough well how long are you taking them for well I've been taking them for years okay so if you've been taking them for years it should have absorbed by now yes so taking more of something that isn't helping you is not going to help you right agreed oh and so yeah it is about the quality and so

[00:12:09] lovely that you can help guide people to the products that actually work versus just buying what looks good on the supermarket shelf yeah so it was the solution for your daughter and your husband omega-3s or was there more it was the omega-3s and the laser acupuncture helping the body to come

[00:12:34] into balance so that it could heal itself is that right so back then with the limited knowledge of the omegas and there wasn't any type of spot testing available right so you didn't even know back then you didn't even know right um so the big thing that really made the difference was the laser acupuncture when you're dealing strictly with energy and you understand the concept of

[00:13:03] energy you know what you think about you bring about and if the body's not recognizing something you you tell it what it is and it just knows that was the big thing then but at this time same time i'd also done a huge change in diet and i'm not the type of person who can just do small changes at once when i got into the nutrition okay tomorrow change everything you know why do baby steps let's just

[00:13:33] i literally went into overdrive so you know you take out the dairy you take out the refined sugars you start to eat clean and eat the good things and even the knowledge from that has changed over the years when i was first starting doing like the muscle testing i had all my little samples for testing people

[00:13:59] no one was talking about coconut oil back then no one was talking about chia seeds or any of that stuff and things kept evolving and i've just accumulated this huge base of things that i can test now over the years and of course you can get energetic vials as well and

[00:14:23] trying to teach people how they can test themselves that's i think a big step if it's empowering i was just going to say exactly that that people can learn to do this for themselves so that they are not always reliant on someone else and they can understand their own deficiencies and let's face it it's no one's fault that they're deficient we've all you know grown up and been

[00:14:51] taught to eat the way that we were taught through our own family upbringing and our soils are deficient so it's much harder to get the nutrition today than it was a hundred years ago and therefore it requires more knowledge in order to navigate and i love how you are empowering people to have that knowledge to then be able to share for themselves their family their friends and you know it's

[00:15:20] i remember when i was in high school going to the grocery store with my mother and for the first time seeing it was orange cauliflower brocco flower whatever and i remember thinking i don't remember this ever being this color and it was kind of like my body or my intuition or whatever at the time was saying

[00:15:47] no no no this isn't this isn't normal um and now you see all that stuff all the time and i still to this day have so many clients that don't understand what genetically modified right is yes and i literally

[00:16:06] have to explain it to them and how the glyphosate gets into that food yes frankenfood whatever you know and the impact of all of that yes into the food and then into our bodies yeah yeah and into our gut and it damages our gut and 70 of our immune system is housed in the gut therefore our immune system is

[00:16:32] weakened and thus starts that steady cycle towards sickness or dis-ease yes yeah yeah and then unfortunately our sick care model is based on well let's give you a pill the belief that there's a pill for every ill which you and i both know is not the answer perhaps for something acute however definitely

[00:16:55] not for our long-term chronic illnesses yeah like everything has its place you know exactly um i went through a lot of stuff with my mother last year and she would have been 99 this year oh so she lived a lovely long life she did yes and she had ended up in the hospital and so many things happened there

[00:17:22] that shouldn't have happened and you don't you know the system is kind of messed up but you don't realize how severely until you're in it and you see what's happening right and there are so many factors there's the fact that people are trained in certain areas so they don't know the other side don't have the big

[00:17:46] picture yes and i also have siblings who didn't understand that you were allowed to say no to a vacation right um my mom being you know almost 98 when she passed they didn't need to do what they did to her like her body her tiny little frame just couldn't handle that she didn't need it right

[00:18:15] right um and so my family already knows they say okay if the same thing happens to me and i injure myself and i need surgery just arrange at home recovery care yes um going forward so everything is a learning a learning experience it's so true and i teach that in my work as well is that everything is happening for you to learn something yes and then yeah when we learn the thing we can look back on

[00:18:45] whatever event that it was with gratitude no matter how awful it was in the moment we can look back on it with gratitude and there's so many tools like from homeopathics to energy medicine to nutrition to everything is coming out now there's um red light therapy there's pemf i have my cat on my red light

[00:19:09] therapy mat next to me right now she's a 14 year old cat her like her vision is perfect she's here her hearing is perfect her coat is so soft and beautiful yes she had to have some dental surgery last year and because she was older i was a bit worried about it so ever since then i've just every time she comes and sits on the chair next to me i turned on my red light mat i've just put it there for her and you know because there are so many modalities and where we can literally support our body and

[00:19:38] healing itself so i i love that you do this work that you educate on this and can you i know you helped your your husband and your daughter can you share a story of a client without naming names that you know for you you're a really proud moment of helping that person navigate their journey back to health there's there's so many i know it's been 20 years of doing this work i thought maybe you'd

[00:20:05] have a couple of standout ones there's yeah there's one that really um stood out it was um a 10 year old boy and he was you have to think outside of the box on this one a little bit but he was having um warts that were growing on his fingertips on his feet and he had one coming on his on his face

[00:20:29] and he was being teased a lot at school right and for whatever reason this person decided to come to me with the sun and i used a combination of traditional acupuncture but still just with laser right sending through my laser um the fingerprints or the frequencies

[00:20:55] of what causes the warts because warts are come come from a virus right right and she had messaged me saying they all started to turn black and fell off nice and she said he went to school the kids were starting to bug him again and he's at school going look look look they're gone they're gone right love that because you know yeah you're not only helping him with his health you're

[00:21:24] helping him with his self-confidence which leads to his mental health and his own happiness and joy etc etc so you know when we can do that for a child that's incredible so i love that thank you thank you for the work that you do uh christine i love to ask everybody that comes on this show what

[00:21:43] does don't wait for your wake-up call mean to you for me it's all about you you're given one body right you can't trade it in for a new one like you can your car or anything else so take care of it while you can yes so that you don't have to take care of it or try to repair it

[00:22:15] later it's much harder to go backwards than it is the other way i love that it's so true and i i share the same belief with you and we're so quick to look after our cars you know that engine light comes on or we take the car in for you know its annual tune-up etc etc and we forget to do that for our own body and take that preventative care and check in with ourselves and do our own tune-ups because
