Are you aware that victims of childhood abuse can have a lot of serious health troubles in their lives?  It seems like the abuse has altered how our body’s immune system functions.  It is the same case for sensitive children.  There is usually no real abuse going on. However, their bodies, in a stressed and chaotic state, associate resuscitations, shots and restraining while giving shots as “abuse”, thus causing the immune system to malfunction.  This malfunction can lead to hyper sensitivity to everything comes in its path, no matter how clean and health the allergens are.  This is the reason why they can be allergic to their own organs, hormones, and all the organic food you provided for them.  When the immune system is under so much stress for long period of time, it can lead to serious illnesses such as autoimmune conditions and cancer.  This is the reason we see emotional therapy is an important part of our healing program.  Through emotional tapping (not EFT or TFT) and a combination of different emotional homeopathic remedies (symptom-specific or Australian or Bach flower essences), we train the body to overcome the false sense of “being abused”, and truly protecting the body rather than attack everything coming into its path (hyper-sensitivity).  We also train the body to not over react to stressors, such as change of environments or being refused of a request the child made. 

Dr. Harry Hong's comprehensive program specializes in the integration of a variety of natural healing therapies such as energy testing, allergy desensitization, homeopathy, Chinese medicine and acupuncture, enzyme therapy, flower essences, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and much more. The Healing Light Co is committed to provide quality special care to the Highly Sensitive Person with Highly Sensitive Body. We are located at northwest suburb of Chicagoland and have an Out-of-Town program as well.

  • Does your child react differently or not react to Biomedical program? 
  • Would you like to optimize the effect of your child’s Biomedical treatment?
  • Do you want to address allergies before and during your child’s Biomedical program?
  • Would you like to fine tune your child’s senses and emotions so that they can socialize normally after Biomedical treatment? 

 

Dr. Hong’s IBMT (Individualized Body-Mind Therapy) program can help you achieve just that for younger children.  For older children, this program will help them to be less anxious, more confident, out-going and sociable.  This program is philosophically similar to and complimentary to Biomedical treatment, designed just for patients with Highly Sensitive Body. It is a child-friendly, non-invasive and all natural holistic program.

 

IBMT is a peeling-the-onion kind of program aimed to identify and address each layer of illnesses in a systematic fashion.  It combines immune reprogramming, leaky gut regeneration, multiple emotional therapy, natural detoxification and candida therapy, lifestyle management, and provides complete & individualized treatments for each unique person. 

 

We treat parents as well as kids because most children who suffer childhood diseases have some inherited immune weaknesses from their parents.  Treating the parents helps children to heal faster because of the close connection they have with their parents.  When parents are stressed, it naturally stresses their kids and slows down the healing process for them. We help you to do Casein/Gluten Free Diet (GF/CF) as well.

 

Dr. Hong’s IBMT program starts with a comprehensive personal and computerized evaluation that last about 2 hours.  After that, patient returns for 45 minutes follow-up visits every two to three weeks in the beginning, and every three to five weeks once they improve greatly.  For every year a patient suffers from an illness, expect to spend 2-3 months of healing time.

 

Why does my child respond to Biomedical differently?

 

This may be due to a condition called Polarity Switch, which is a malfunction of our communication system inside. Things that can switch our polarity (or reaction to treatments) range from inherited tendencies, radon stress, geopathic stress to emotional stresses.  It has to be treated by natural homeopathic remedies at all times for those who have tendency to switch their polarities so that they can react to Biomedical program and other treatments the right away.

 

What is the reason that my child did not respond to Biomedical program?

 

  1. The child may have a high viral load or other pathogens such as PANDAS in the system.  When the body is weak, the immune system cannot identify and get rid of pathogens successfully.  High viral load results in high toxicity in the body and block detoxification process.  To address this condition, calming immune system and treating allergies are necessary steps. Then natural remedies are used to prompt the body to remove viruses.  Once the viruses leave the body completely, the ability to detoxify returns.
  2. The child may have severe food or environmental sensitivities, allergies to medications and supplements during Biomedical treatments.  When the immune system is over active, it will attack anything that comes into its power, good or bad.  For these patients a total immune reprogramming is necessary in order for the immune system to behave normally. 
  3. The child may have extremely weak adrenal system due to emotional and physical stresses. Adrenal stress leads to an over sensitive immune function.  Thus adrenal therapy as well as multiple emotional therapies can also be vital to the body’s healing process. 
  4. Leaky gut that causes toxin to recycle in the body.  No matter what detox method is used, most toxins still leave the body through the gut.  If the gut is quite leaky, (clinically shows loose or liquid stool or constipation), most toxins will recycle back into the bloodstream and wear the liver out.  When corrected properly with natural remedies, the body can regenerate better and making detoxification more efficient.

 

IBMT Before Biomedical treatments:  Many patients who went through the IBMT programs reported milder reactions and smoother results with Biomedical Treatments.  That is because of the leaky gut healing, emotional therapies, allergy treatment and immune system strengthening from our program.  IBMT also provides energy recharging in between Biomedical detox treatments so the body gain back energies faster and respond to the next round of detox better.

 

Fine-tuning the child after Biomedical treatments:  Many kids finished Biomedical treatments greatly improved, but still has difficulty to communicate and socialize like normal kids.  This is due to their extreme sensitive nature and emotional blockages developed through resuscitation and subsequent treatments.  Using a combination of emotional reprogramming and 3 different lines of flower essences, IBMT can help them overcome their emotional blockages and move forward with their connection to other people and the world around them.

 

*The financial aspects of IBMT:  Initial visit under $500 including evaluation and remedies.  Subsequent visits under $350 including evaluation and remedies.  We provide super-bill receipts for patients/parents to submit to their own insurance companies.  So far 50% of PPOs partially reimbursed patients for Dr. Hong’s visits.  Currently we accept wait-list patients.  Wait time is now 3-8 weeks and subject to change.

  • Accuracy:  We use Electro-Dermal Testing during every session to be more objective and reduce human error.  For highly sensitive bodies, this accuracy is very important in pinpointing and prioritize root causes for your symptoms

 

  • Totally individualized treatment plan in “peeling the disease onion”:  The highly sensitive person has unique disease pattern and requires very individualized treatment plan for each session. 

 

  • Treating the root causes for allergies is important:  Leaky gut therapy, detoxification, emotional therapy, hormonal re-balancing and lifestyle/relationship coaching are all vital part of your long-term healing.  Otherwise your allergies will always be back.

 

  • Shorter wait time: With the help of our “Master Helper”, you can do 1 tapping every 3 hours.   Time to stay away from the tapped allergen is also 3 hours.

 

  • More allergens in each vial: Each one of our vials contains about 10 to 15 allergens of the same group. (for example, 60 pesticides are separated into 3 different vials for tapping)

 

  • More success in clearing allergies with the blockage and combination filters: You will find allergens that didn’t clear by themselves can now be cleared along with the blockage and combination filters.

 

  • Home desensitization kit to save the trip to the doctor’s office: Our immune reprogramming kit is design to save your time and money to treat yourself at home. It is so safe that your family members can share it. Feel free to use the kit for your family members, without paying extra. 

 

  • No need to buy vials for your favorite foods: For individual foods you enjoy, we teach you how to use the actual food to tap.

 

  • We advise you on structure issues that are important for your healing: With our energy testing machine, we detect areas of your body with structural blockages and suggest you find local therapists to correct them.

  1. My first response to my patients: Make sure you repeat all the Virus, Mycoplasma and Bacteria vials one by one.  Also repeat other important tapping such as System Complete, Immune System, Lymphatic System, Enzyme Complete, Amino Acid, Protein Met etc.

 

  1. Spit saliva in a glass jar, hold in one hand, helper in the sock, and tap for the saliva.  Swine flu is just a new strain of the Influenza Virus that is ever present in our surrounding environment.  It may not be in your vials, but it could be in your saliva in case you are carrying it.  When you are not allergic to the virus strain, you will less likely be affected.

 

  1. Stay away from foods that can weaken your immune system, dairy products and foods with high sugar content being two of the biggest ones.  Remember, a healthy digestive system is the foundation of strong immune system.

 

  1. Avoid physical contact with other people. Constantly wash hands AND face with soap and water.

 

  1. Stay away from public gatherings such as parties, parades and carnivals for now.

 

  1. Eat cooked garlic.  Easiest receipt is garlic cloves in olive oil and microwave 1 minute.  Cooked garlic still kills germs but won’t give you bad breath.

 

  1. Take supplements that are high in antioxidant to boost the immune system, such as the Acai capsules that can be found at your local health food stores

 

  1. Casein free colostrum is another immune boosting remedy.  You may purchase it from the Kirkman Lab online at: http://www.kirkmanlabs.com/ViewProductDetails@Product_ID@60.aspx

 

  1. Remedies we can ship to you so you can take one dose a day to prevent virus and bacteria to get deep in the cells are: Acute Virutox with Lymphatic Support, Chinese herbs QD, CXL and Cold B (taken to prevent sore throat and upper respiratory infections), and Protease Plus enzyme that can kill germs in the digestive tract when taken on an empty stomach.

 

  1. Patients who finished our program typically report to have a pretty strong immune system for many years.  However, if you feel you may need some tune-up, maybe this is the right time for an overall immune system recheck and trouble shooting.

Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell or taste.  Its presence in your home can pose a danger to your family's health.  Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.  Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America and claims about 20,000 lives annually.

 

According the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States, lung cancer kills thousands of Americans every year.  The untimely deaths of Peter Jennings and Dana Reeve have raised public awareness about lung cancer, especially among people who have never smoked.  Smoking, radon, and secondhand smoke are the leading causes of lung cancer.  Although lung cancer can be treated, the survival rate is one of the lowest for those with cancer.  From the time of diagnosis, between 11 and 15 percent of those afflicted will live beyond five years, depending upon demographic factors.  In many cases lung cancer can be prevented; this is especially true for radon. 

 

From the energy medicine point of view, radon is one of the big factors that cause polarity switch. Polarity in energy medicine describes the spin direction of the energy flow in the body. It plays a major role in information exchange and communication of the whole system. Polarity switch results in stress to the system and leads to fatigue and toxin accumulation.

 

According to EPA website, most areas in the United States belong to the high radon region. The U.S. Surgeon General and EPA recommend that all homes be tested. You can test your home yourself or hire a professional. Fix your home if you have a radon level of 4 pCi/L or more.  Radon test kits are available from the National Safety Council (or call 1-800-SOS-RADON).  Some home improvement stores sell test kits.  To find a qualified testing or mitigation contractor, contact your state radon office or either of the national private radon programs.

More and more people take nutritional supplements now a day. More questions also surface around the topic of supplementation. What do I need? How many supplements do I need? How long should I take them? Different practitioners answer the question differently. There are also tests using blood, saliva and urine to determine the nutritional deficiency you may have. But those tests can not satisfy those who do not like to take supplement forever.  Let’s discuss this topic from a different point of view.

 

Why should I take supplements? If the tests show that I have deficiency of a nutrient, should I take it as a supplement? The common answer is YES. This is a typical supplementation method. However, there is another way to deal with the problem. Why am I deficient of the nutrient? Is there anything wrong with my body so that I can’t get the nutrients in efficiently? This is a typical thinking of the Functional Medicine. Most of nutritional deficiency comes from intestinal problems. Fixing the digestive track will successfully correct the deficiency and prevent the patient from taking supplements forever.

 

The same question always arises towards hormones. If I am tested deficiency for some hormones, do I take the hormone to supplement? The answer is NO based on Functional Medicine. The hormonal system is equipped with negative feedback controlling system. Once you take a hormone supplement, it is very difficult to train the body producing its own. Thus identifying the reason for the deficiency and fixing the problem is the first priority. Supplementation is the last resort.

Miasm is a homeopathic term to describe tendencies and root issues to develop chronic diseases. The word miasm means a cloud or fag in the being. The theory originates in the founding father of homeopathy, Hahnemann’s book The Chronic Diseases which was published in 1828. He believes that when a disease was left to themselves or improper treatment, it would go on to increase, grow worse and torment the patient to the later part of his life. The disease information is stored in the cellular level and can be inherited from early generations or acquired in current life time.

 

Hahnemann believes that all chronic diseases arise from the three major chronic miasms: Psora, Sycosis and Syphilis. Physical expressions of the miasms can be different, but they all originate from the same root.

 

Psora is the mother of all chronic diseases goes back the farthest in human history. It includes all skin diseases, most mental illness, allergies, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, most dysfunctional diseases of organs and systems. Chief remedies are sulphur, natrum mur, calc carb, arsen alb, lycopodium phosphorus, mezereum, graphite, causticum, hepar sulph, petroleum, silica, zinc and psorinum etc.

 

Sycosis and Syphilis, being derived from suppressed Gonorrhea and syphilis, respectively, are responsible for many chronic diseases with infectious nature. Sycosis is held to be responsible for many sexual and urinary disorders, and affections of the joints and the mucous membranes, also those conditions worsened by damp weather and by contact with the sea, and all warty excrescences and growths. Chief remedies are thuja, lycopodium, natrum sulph, causticum, kali sulph, staphysagria, calc and sepia etc.

 

Syphilis is held to be responsible for many diseases of the nervous system, the blood and skeleton as well as a range of psychological diseases such as alcoholism, depression, suicidal, insanity, loss of smell and taste, blindness, deafness and ulcerations. It also associated with many heart conditions as well. Chief remedies are arsenicum, aurum, mercury, phosphorus and lycopodium nitric acid etc.

 

During the modern era of homeopathy, it has been claimed that some new miasms have been developed such as Tuberculosis and Cancer. Other factors such as Radiation, Petroleum, Heavy Metal and Virus, are also being proposed to be new miasms.

 

The miasm theory still faces two main problems. The first is whether it is true and the second is how it is interpreted and dealt with clinically. It is understandable that all chronic diseases have the root issues that associate with the weakness of the body. The miasm theory is probably the energetic model for chronic diseases comparing to the genetics from allopathic system. Based on homeopathic understanding the miasm can not be changed. Therefore, the treatment for chronic diseases should still focus on achieving physiological balance the body. The purpose of using homeopathic miasm remedies is to reduce the miasmatic influence to the body. To address miasm issue of specific diseases, consult a classical homeopathic doctor. It may not be wise to use miasm remedies alone in treating chronic diseases.

How do I control allergies? There is an easy way and there is a hard way. Easy way addresses symptoms and hard way focuses on root issues. Here is a list of solutions from simple to complex:
  1. Take medications such as Claritin as well as natural remedies for allergy symptoms such as sinus blockage, mucus, sneezing, cough, itchy eye etc.
  2. Make some efforts to avoid allergens. Environmental allergies always come together with food allergies.
    • Avoid common environmental allergens such as dust, pollen, mold, animal hair, chemicals. Clean the house regularly to get rid of dust and mold. Always use natural cleaning agents and avoid pesticides.
    • Avoid common food allergens such as dairy, wheat, sugar, corn, soy by eating healthy food and more fruit and vegetables.
  3. Allergy is a malfunction of the immune system. Wrong information is stored in the immune memory cells. Identifying and changing the information helps the allergy symptoms, although it does not help to resolve the root issues.
    • Identify specific allergies using skin, blood or electrodermal testing
    • Treat allergy symptoms with therapies such as allergy desensitization (NAET) or allergy shut etc.
  4. Address root issues for allergies: toxins and adrenal stresses
    • Toxin is the major cause for allergies. Toxin accumulation in the body leads to hyper sensitivity of the immune system. Detoxifying the liver, intestine and lymphatic system etc is addressing the root issue of allergies. A special program may be needed for those who have a sensitive body because the common detox methods are usually too harsh to the sensitive body and a detox response is often seen during detoxification
    • Stress is another cause for allergies. Stressed lifestyle weakens the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal System. Malfunction of the adrenal system especially the cortisol leads to the hyper sensitivity of the immune system. Special program supporting adrenal system is a must to treat allergies.

Spring and fall are allergy season. Common allergens for seasonal allergies are pollens, dusts, molds, pesticides etc. Common symptoms include sneezing, itchy eyes and nose, running nose, cough, headaches, ear and sinus inflammation. Taking anti-histamine medication may help to ease the symptoms but not resolve the root issue. Most of the seasonal allergies are triggered by IgE immune response, which is a malfunction of the immune system. Allergy information can be inherited from the parents and also developed through later years of life. Many factors can cause sensitive immune system and make allergy symptoms worse. Toxin build up in the body and weakened adrenal system are two major factors. Some baseline food allergies also play a role in many seasonal allergy cases.

 

Seasonal allergy not only causes inconvenience in life but increases stresses as well. Most importantly, allergies are symptoms on the surface. They often represent deeper issues in the immune system. Most allergy patients also easily catch colds/flu, tonsillitis, sinus infection, bronchitis etc. Some of them may even develop autoimmune diseases in the future. To prevent mild seasonal allergies, living in a healthy lifestyle is a must. Busy lifestyle stresses adrenal system. Unhealthy foods such as dairy, sugar and white flours may result in food intolerance and intestinal toxic condition. Stress and toxins are two major factors for allergies. Therefore, healthy eating, exercise, enough sleep are the basis to prevent seasonal allergies. For those who suffer from server allergies, finding a holistic practitioner who specializes in helping allergy and sensitive body is your best chance to recovery. Treating allergies involves balancing, detoxifying, regenerating the body. The timing of each therapy is important as well. With the systematic approach, allergy information can be successfully removed from your system and your children in the future may not carry the information and suffer from the allergies any more.
