Iodine is the most effective broad-spectrum antiseptic with low toxicity. It has very high germicidal activity and No organism develops resistance to iodine! It’s been known as a universal antiseptic for over 150 years and has few side effects except at very high dose.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the non-psychoactive component of the hemp plant also found in its psychoactive cousin marijuana. It was initially discovered in 1940 and has had a significant rise in popularity over the past 5 years. There has been a lot of recent research about CBD and its effects on the body. And yet there is still a lot of controversy about its safety and efficacy depending on different sources.
Our bodies are designed with innately driven mechanisms for healing. However excessive stressors affecting our body, both from the external environment as well as poor lifestyle choices can inhibit our innate healing process. As a health practitioner it is my job to facilitate healing by reducing the bodies stress load and removing as many obstacles of healing as possible. In my experience and training I have found that there are 6 hidden barriers of healing that present in our office. The 6 barriers of healing are: food sensitivities, immune challenges, heavy metal toxicity, chemical toxicity, scars and excessive emotional stress. When any of these are present, chronic illness or pain can continue even with good care and if not addressed it is often impossible for a patient to recover their health. We use a system of testing the body through the bodies muscle response to stressors to find out if these hidden barriers exist.
