Common Questions And Answers
About Natural Therapies
For Your Child
1) Who can benefit from the
natural therapies in Healing Your Child?
It's an easy-to-understand guide to the natural healing process for
parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and friends who want to improve
or correct children's chronic illnesses with natural therapy. It's written
in non-technical language with illustrations that bring to life the
natural principles and concepts in the book.
2) Can it be a helpful resource
for therapists? Yes, it provides valuable information
for body workers from Dr. Gillespie's 25-plus years of clinical practice
and training to assist them in the healing of children. In addition,
the book presents 120 medically sound resources so therapists can learn
more about the concepts that may be new to them.
Also, Dr. Gillespie gives workshop for health professionals. More information
and a workshop schedule is at www.brain-therapy.com
3) Is my child a hypochondriac?
Dr. Gillespie replies:
No. If your child tells you that he does not feel well, assume he is
truthful.
In more than twenty years of involvement in this field, I have never
seen a patient who was pretending to be ill. Generally the tighter and
more distorted the muscles and fascia present in your child, the more
involved are the symptoms and conditions. The severity and number of
ailments appear to be directly proportional to how poorly his or her
body is working.
Few medical professionals in America today check children for proper
craniosacral, muscle, and fascial function. You may have consulted many
doctors for your child, including specialists, who ordered numerous
medical tests but could not solve his or her problem.
They may have said that your child's condition had to have been psychological
or stress related.
What they may have actually meant was that they were unable to find
the physical problem and therefore assumed it to be psychologically
related. You may even have taken your child to mental health practitioners
for evaluation.
As a parent, you need to consult with professionals who can recognize,
treat, and significantly improve or correct your child's problem.
4) How much treatment
is necessary and how long
will it take?
Dr. Gillespie replies:
The history of your child's physical body can be likened to the
layers of an onion.
The onion includes traumas from birth to the present such as a strong
blow to the head or a bad fall, the chemicals in drinking water, impurities
in the air, and poor eating habits as well as difficulties in relationships
and other stresses. An onion can have several layers that need time
and therapy to peel.
Any successful work requires careful, comprehensive attention for
maximum benefit. A significant change in your child's health must
entail a full commitment to the entire program.
How big is your child's onion?
A therapist cannot know for sure until he or she gets involved
with treatment. I can never tell a parent the exact number of treatment
visits but can give only a general range of time. If a child has
headaches and asthma, the headaches may be relieved in a few weeks;
however, the asthma may take months of treatment.
We know certain facts about a child's onion:
a) It is finite; there is a beginning, middle, and end of manipulative
treatment. Natural living principles can also ultimately promote long-term
health.
b) Children respond and heal quickly. A small child can have a positive
response in one therapy visit that may take an adult ten visits to
accomplish. For this reason the book is about the healing of children
and not adults!
5) Can other medical conditions
be helped with the principles presented here?
Dr. Gillespie replies:
Healing Your Child focuses strongly on 10 chronic
illnesses in children:
Asthma,
Earaches (otitis media),
Hyperactivity,
Learning Disorders,
Headaches,
Eye and Sinus Conditions,
Allergies,
Throat Ailments,
Neck and Shoulder Conditions, and
Scoliosis (curvature of the spine)
Epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and autism may be helped with therapy.
A severe cranial bone restriction in the back of a child's head
may be causing the epileptic problem.
If treated directly after birth, children with cerebral palsy may
also be helped with manipulative therapy.
Children with autism may have excessive muscle and fascial strain
needing extensive manipulative therapy.
In addition, Dr. Gillespie is on the staff at the Family Hope Center,
the leading center in the world for brain-injured children.
