Dr. Carol:
Hi.
Kim Pittis:
Hi.
Dr. Carol:
I can’t believe it’s 3:00 already.
Kim Pittis:
Tell me about it.
Dr. Carol:
How did that happen?
Kim Pittis:
I don’t know. Wednesdays are becoming hectic.
Dr. Carol:
Yes. But when said 3:00 is set in stone so. There we are.
Kim Pittis:
You all know my alarm goes off at 2:30, so that gives me half an hour to stop, drop and roll and get into podcast mode. And we’ve been compiling piles because the train has been derailed a few times in the last.
Dr. Carol:
I’d say the last four times I derailed the train before you ever got in the engine. Sorry. So today I have no derailments.
Kim Pittis:
That’s what you think.
Dr. Carol:
Oh, all right, I’m ready.
Kim Pittis:
I can hear Kevin laughing in the background because there’s always a derailment. So it’s funny because the words that I had planned for, because I have the month usually laid out, I have the month for my social media laid out. I have our podcasts laid out, and then I have the Sports Game Changers podcast plan laid out, plan everything out.
Dr. Carol:
Sick. You have way more GABA than I do girl.
Kim Pittis:
You wouldn’t think I would, but I must because I am a thrive on the list. And you were talking about that the last time.
Dr. Carol:
And it’s like gabba dopamine because you’re a dopamine girl for sure. And you have to watch. Roger Billica’s neurotransmitter Workshop. The second one he did where he split the groups.
Kim Pittis:
The room around. Yes.
Dr. Carol:
The room around. Do you remember that one? And then we’re like out of 40 people. There were three that were gabba and dopamine together and four that were gabba serotonin because they’re almost neurologic opposites. But I would guess if I had to guess. Somebody that runs as much as you is not only dopamine but if you got your 23andME and NutraHacker done it’s a pretty safe guess that you have snips in all of the COMT pathways.
Kim Pittis:
I’m going to have to. I do have a 23andME done. I just have to get it bio-hacked.
Dr. Carol:
And the bio hack is you send the total text file which is actually these days hard to find. I use NutraHacker, which is not the most popular one, but because it gives not only the snips but what to avoid, what they do, what to do to avoid problems with them. And what to avoid and what to do. And back in the day when. Before I hit 55 and the wheels came off, I ran three miles a day. Six miles on Saturday, rode horses, scuba dived, just sweated all the time and yes, so that’s COPMT and dopamine and I have almost no GABA at all, which is why you make the list and I derail the train.
Kim Pittis:
So this actually blends in well, with the plan that I had today. Because the word that you love, that you go back to a lot is synergy, synthesis. I have some I have synthesis and synergy written down as like a Carol word. So you must have said it at some point.
Dr. Carol:
Now they go together.
Kim Pittis:
They do. And I’ve had a week of and I don’t want to call them failures, but severe disappointing missteps.
Dr. Carol:
I had a few of my own, actually.
Kim Pittis:
And it’s like the universe. Just when you start to get in your groove and feeling good about everything is like, Just wait. You’re not done learning.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah.
Kim Pittis:
Just so you know.
Dr. Carol:
I hate it when it does that. Just saying.
Kim Pittis:
And here’s the thing. This happened to me before after we blew apart the core together during COVID. And I had the most complicated patient of all time come down to see me. These this one patient in particular is not complicated. But it’s not working.
Dr. Carol:
Shouldn’t be complicated.
Kim Pittis:
Shouldn’t be complicated.
Dr. Carol:
Which means in my world of failures, it shouldn’t be complicated. So what am I missing? Totally. This should be easy. And it’s not so. What?
Kim Pittis:
Yeah.
Dr. Carol:
I had. I have an MCASS patient. Actually, he came in as a mold patient didn’t know. No one who has seen him as diagnosed him with MCAS, Mast cell activation syndrome. And one of the symptoms of that is severe itching. I mentioned him last week because his severe itching was along C six. And so he has this leathery patch of red skin. And I treated the C six nerve root X number of times and the itching died down. But it’s really bothersome to him. And he’s he is a difficult patient to begin with because of his history and the way his mind works. But it occurred to me The leathery skin is gone. The wounds are healing. Why is he still so bothered? And the solution was 40/92. So any time something is chronically painful, the area donated to that space, to that patch of body, expands in the sensory and motor cortex. So it shouldn’t be so bothersome on the regular homunculus. The side of your left arm is like that big. And in somebody who’s been tearing his skin off you quiet down that patch and it shrinks back to normal size. But remember that slide, why do you scratch when you itch? The Periaqueductal Gray and there’s one other. There’s an area in the cortex that suppresses a compulsive itching. Periaqueductal Gray produces morphine. So it’s the only patient I have ever done where I increase secretions in the medulla, which is where the PAG is. And it’s okay, let’s give it some opiates and let’s quiet down the sensory cortex. And that helped. Yeah, you learn more from your failures, I’m afraid.
Kim Pittis:
And, and that’s very true. And some of the best case reports that I have written up were on the trajectory of going in the garbage can and me firing the patient and breaking out because I couldn’t handle it anymore.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah, I’m not the guy.
Kim Pittis:
And this is the point that I’m at. I feel like I’ve tried everything. We’ve got all the imaging that imaging could predict and give us, and there is nothing. There is not a disc, there is not a facett, there is no stenosis. There is beautiful, pristine, objective, good imaging in the neck.
Dr. Carol:
And does it hurt more when they tip their head forward or when they throw it back.
Kim Pittis:
Both equally?
Dr. Carol:
And 124/100 didn’t change anything.
Kim Pittis:
No.
Dr. Carol:
I hate it when that happens. Flexion extension films there’s no slidey stuff.
Kim Pittis:
No.
Kim Pittis:
And they get worse and worse every time I treat them. It’s not like they’re the same. They’re worse. I barely touch them too, by the way. So it’s not like I have my meat hooks in them. And when I touch them, they’re bad. When I don’t touch them, they’re bad. It’s always bad.
Dr. Carol:
Had one like that. And I did a whole session where I never touched her.
Kim Pittis:
Right.
Dr. Carol:
Just. I’m not going to touch your neck.
Kim Pittis:
That’s what I did. Treatment three or four.
Dr. Carol:
And that made her worse, too.
Kim Pittis:
Yes.
Dr. Carol:
At which point you run bitch and concussion and Vagus.
Kim Pittis:
Done it. Not together, but I ran those.
Dr. Carol:
Didn’t work.
Kim Pittis:
Didn’t work.
Dr. Carol:
Huh?
Kim Pittis:
Yeah.
Dr. Carol:
Okay.
Kim Pittis:
I’m at a loss because I hate making people worse.
Dr. Carol:
Oh, yeah.
Kim Pittis:
And sometimes I would, actually. The only thing I hate making people worse is when there’s no change. Because part of me is thinking at least we’re doing something. And usually in my world, when I make somebody worse, it’s taking out scar tissue. That was holding up something.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah.
Kim Pittis:
And 124 is always the antidote.
Dr. Carol:
Exactly. It’s like 40/81 antidote each other.
Kim Pittis:
Exactly.
Dr. Carol:
Wow. Yeah. It is hard. So why did she come to see you instead of somebody else?
Kim Pittis:
They’ve tried a lot of people. Heard about this. I don’t know. When I think about this case and I thought about the word you have synthesis when I was saying synergy, there is a certain codependent relationship you have when you work with somebody, especially with what we do.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah.
Kim Pittis:
I feel this patient just could not, does not want to get better. Exactly. Yeah. No infections. Yeah, that’s.
Dr. Carol:
Some infections don’t cause neck pain unless you and you treated the dura and the sensory cortex and 40/89 and all that. Yeah. Then that’s the last part of H is resistance to healing. That’s Harry’s.
Kim Pittis:
And I love that last part. And I have run that just as a single pair on certain people to crack the.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah.
Kim Pittis:
Crack the wall. Yeah, I am at an absolute loss.
Dr. Carol:
So there are times when. It’s just that you love to know the mechanism.
Kim Pittis:
No, I know.
Dr. Carol:
So what happened just before it started?
Kim Pittis:
Like the person’s pain.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah. What happened just before? That’s always my first question.
Kim Pittis:
And there are some emotional things that I thought we dealt with. I think of the person in the Core with the fuzzy bunny slippers that was taking out. That’s the person I thought of right away when I heard the history. Unless there’s stuff in the history that just isn’t being told.
Kim Pittis:
And then and this person is very young.
Dr. Carol:
How young?
Kim Pittis:
Twenties.
Dr. Carol:
What?
Kim Pittis:
In their twenties. Early twenties.
Dr. Carol:
When did the pain start?
Two years ago. Three years ago.
Dr. Carol:
So she was telling her twenties. No trauma.
Kim Pittis:
Not that I’ve been told. But I’ve run trauma because something happened.
Dr. Carol:
No, I mean, the pain came from space.
Kim Pittis:
Yes.
Dr. Carol:
No.
Kim Pittis:
Can I say that’s a good face?
Dr. Carol:
That’s a good face. It’s. Wait. Being never comes from space.
Kim Pittis:
I said last time. Yeah, birth trauma, maybe. I don’t know about why it would start when it did. I don’t know if something happened during COVID lockdown. If something happened. And that’s where I’m trying to trace back the steps. But yeah, I am going to say I think the next time I see them, which is going to be tomorrow, maybe. I need to know more if I’m going to help you. There’s something I don’t know.
Dr. Carol:
That is a really good question. So the question I always ask is, what happened just before?
Kim Pittis:
And so you’re just before is months, weeks, years, days.
Dr. Carol:
Weeks and that’s why you ask for a linear The clue with brain injury patients is they can’t do a linear timeline. It’s like scattershot. But something happened just before. Either that or somebody else is paying for her care and staying in pain is the only power she has. The only thing I can do for that is. There’s two things and it depends on you and your comfort level and it depends on the patient. You can ask them directly.
Dr. Carol:
I had a patient this week where she had some leg pain and low back disk stuff But her major complaint, her first complaint was she and her husband have separated because she disassociates when they have a discussion or there’s conflict resolution. There are patients that use the word, I get anxious, I get angry. I just need to take a break. I close up. I have treated five multiple personalities in chiropractic practice. And was taught about two when I was in my master’s program because of what my teacher, my preceptor did. Nobody uses the word I dissociate. And so I asked. It was one of those moments where I just sort of saw what was going on. As soon as I put my hands on her body to treat her low back.
Dr. Carol:
She’s left her body and you could just see her person fly up. And at least I could that day. I don’t normally do this, but. So this exam would go better if you stayed in your body. And she went. You saw that? I went, yeah, it’s nice that you stayed in the room, but come a little closer. It’s going to be okay. I promise I won’t hurt you. So she came a little closer No, actually, you have to be in your body to feel whether this is sharp, dull, or icky. And then she could do that. Then you get to the history of her, and a lot of her history was early childhood trauma. And that’s when multiple personalities are created. So the first two days we just ran Concussion and Vagus and I had one machine on 40/89 because when personalities split off, when the early childhood trauma or the life trauma, she didn’t leave home until she was 18. The life trauma is so bad there, the multiples split off at specific ages when the trauma is just so great that the part of them stays back and part of them goes forward and they wall it off in the hippocampus. At least that’s my idea about it. That may not be the current way people think about it. The first day, just from concussion in vagus.
Dr. Carol:
And we actually talked about what ages she split off. And because I was comfortable with it, she was comfortable. You do know that each one of the personalities, each one of your parts, it’s safer to say parts because she doesn’t have an official diagnosis and some chiropractor on Troutdale is not the one to give it to her. So each of the parts that you describe is going to have different physical symptoms. And she went okay. I said, now the adult that’s here has a disc and leg pain and low back pain so that I can fix. But until we make it easier for the parts to be together, this is going to be a very difficult six days. So is it okay with you? She checks in and said, Yeah, So we ran concussion in Vegas the first day and she felt calmer and all of the parts were able to have a conversation that night. And then so the second day we ran concussion in Vegas and I had one machine that was just on 40/89. That’s it. Just tell them as you say. Tell the limbic system to take a nap. And at the end of that, she’s all floaty. She’s easy. And I said, no. On Thursday, we’ll work on your back. That’s not what’s wrong with your patient. But something’s missing.
Kim Pittis:
Yes.
Dr. Carol:
This patient’s had a lot of therapy and really good therapy. So she’s aware of the early childhood trauma. And it was the presenting feature. Oh, it’s the first part of our history. So that’s what’s phase forward. And oh, yeah, I have low back pain and I had this auto accident. That was the other thing. Her BIVS score, anything above 18, they should see an FCOVD. Her BIVS score was 56. Which might count for a little bit of the anxiety and the mid-brain stress. But that doesn’t answer your question. But the question to ask is, what’s your childhood like? And what happened three days before this started? Nothing. And the answer is always it’s never nothing.
Kim Pittis:
Yes.
Dr. Carol:
It’s never nothing. I’m sure you’ve already done all this. Three days before, a week before, two weeks before, did you get a COVID vaccine? Because it could be something as simple as virus in the meninges.
Kim Pittis:
Okay. I haven’t run that one yet.
Dr. Carol:
Scarring in the meninges. But you have to ask question first.
Kim Pittis:
Yeah.
Dr. Carol:
It’s like the ones where you fail. It’s okay, Let’s start over. I had one orthopedic surgeon that would literally walk out of the treatment room door. Turn around. Come back in And then pretend that he’d never seen the patient before. And it’s got to start over. We have two choices, right? Either we’re done or we’re going to start over and find out what I missed. And it always has to be your fault, not hers.
Kim Pittis:
Totally. I thought it was going to be just a super slam dunk because it was disky and facety and range of motion was restricted and she was so young, I figured. And then after this scarring type of program didn’t work, I thought, okay, it’s torn and broken, so that’ll be the antidote. That made it worse. It was just worse upon worse. And I do have to say, the patient is very negative. Everything is bad. Nothing is going to work. It’s like there is no sunshine at all.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah.
Kim Pittis:
Yes. I’ve tried restoring joy. Like it’s not that easy, but yeah. So I don’t know.
Dr. Carol:
I have a patient like that now. And he’s got mold exposure, but he has taken it to excess and he’s successful and awards. All right. And I said, Why are you so obsessed? And I shared my mold history. It’s like I was on antifungals for five years. Three years? And he said, I’m afraid to take them. And it’s like, you got referred from Neil Nathan. He told you what to do. Your doctor prescribed them because Neil just consults now. The doctor prescribed them. You have them. Why aren’t you taking? I’m afraid they won’t work. And then, of course, it won’t work if you don’t take them. And then explaining to him over and over again that the mold is colonized in his body and it’s. He doesn’t have to be afraid of every room he’s in. The mold is in here. That conversation doesn’t work I said, So what are you afraid of? And he said. I’m afraid that it’s never going to get better.
Kim Pittis:
Yeah.
Dr. Carol:
And it’s like you understand that you create that which you focus on. So you can stay sick and won’t hurt my feelings. But is that really what you want? And it’s. I don’t know, that whole concept of she’s only had it number one, she’s only had it for two years, but that’s 10% of her life. And what was her life like before?
Kim Pittis:
Athlete. Active.
Dr. Carol:
And you did the Beighton score on her first thing?
Kim Pittis:
Yes.
Dr. Carol:
Okay. Something. Yeah.
Kim Pittis:
I’m reading some of the comments. Yes, I’ve run TTH. That was after treatment two or three when I was like, I’m missing something. So I threw that on.
Dr. Carol:
Sure enough.
Kim Pittis:
Did nothing. There was somebody else that made a comment about. Could be psychological. Yeah. You write maybe. Yeah, I did. I do ask like, these questions. Like, how can I help you and what are the goals? How do you foresee your outcome after you’re better? And she was very positive. Oh, I’ll go back to my sports and I’ll hang out with my friends again. And I don’t know if that will happen because I don’t know if it’s going to ever going to get better.
Dr. Carol:
Interesting.
Kim Pittis:
I’ll keep everybody posted. And if anybody has any ideas, you please email them to me. I’m still off of social media. I was supposed to go back today and I deleted my Facebook account actually, so I will no longer be on Facebook, but I will be back on Instagram.
Dr. Carol:
Okay. Then somebody really has to teach me how to use Instagram better. Because I’ll get to a quote or something where I want it to stay and then it flips on to the next thing and it’s come back. But then when you try and flip it back, you end up on somebody else’s page. Instagram is very confusing. I’m not a total Luddite, but.
Kim Pittis:
No, it’s just something and I have to time myself better. And how much time I’m spending on Instagram I think is my problem.
Dr. Carol:
I just have to find somebody to tell me how to use it.
Kim Pittis:
Oh, so you will do a show and tell and we’re together next month.
Dr. Carol:
We are. I’m so excited. I’m like, I just had the phone call with the trophy shop about how to. Linda, three years ago, wi-fi, RF, electro wires, people added boosters, work from home.
Kim Pittis:
EMF pain is a pain that comes from mid-air. This is something I have personal experience. So, Melinda, are you thinking of me running the EMF protocols? Because I have not done that. But I’m open to anything.
Dr. Carol:
And why would he EMF affect just your neck? There’s that.
Kim Pittis:
And let’s go back to that. Does EMF pain. Is that more widespread pain?
Dr. Carol:
Yeah. Affects everything. And it’s used as a precipitating factor for everything And the challenge that we have, your wi-fi that you used boosters in your house and whatever, there is a website someplace that lets you tell how many cell phone towers or TV towers, but cell phone towers there are within one mile of your house. Now, I live in a suburb. When I did this search first, I was in Chicago in a meeting room. So I did San Francisco in a meeting room. And inside of a half mile, there were 1200 cell phone towers. Inside of, maybe it was a mile. But 1200 cell phone towers. And that doesn’t count the TV towers and the shortwave and the long wave and all of this stuff that allows you to have TVs. So blaming antenna search. Thank you, Melinda. Yeah. The EMF frequency hasn’t worked well at work. Well, the first time that I used it, but. When people freak out about EMF, it’s yes, you can turn your router off at night. And yes, you can do all that stuff, but there are still 1200 cell phone towers within a mile of my house. And there’s three television stations there are people that just think EMF is the answer. George had developed the EMF frequency and I was teaching an instructor class in Phoenix and everybody at the Advanced was complaining that they were waking up, including me, they were waking up at 5:00 in the morning, just buzzed.
Dr. Carol:
And it was like that all week long. And the only thing we could think of was that there was an EMF, there was a TV station that came on at 5:00 where the antenna was really close. And so we turned the EMF frequency on and just ran the blue box with the gloves on top of it touching and. Everybody felt better. So that’s when we got the idea that it worked. The question is, what tissue do you put it on? My vote would be on 89 or 94. 562. Becker talked about Becker talked about the immune system. Becker talked about white blood cells reacting to 100 watt light bulb. That was turned on ten feet away. And then he also talked about the effect of electromagnetic stuff on the sympathetic nervous system. So 562 and. Yeah, this isn’t dehydration, Melinda. This is ongoing with whoever it was that said, it’s psychological. EMF can also choose your favorite misery spot to aggravate. And there was somebody up here who said it sounds. Yeah, you got to find out what happened just before it. and then you really have to be willing to say, we’re going to give this two more sessions and if we can’t figure it out. We’re done. Yeah. And in order to fix this, I have to know what happened before it started.
Kim Pittis:
Yeah.
Dr. Carol:
Exactly. What were you doing the day before? Oh, it’s been so long, I don’t remember it. I’ll give you a minute. Figure it out. The week before. Three days before. What were you doing? Three days before?
Kim Pittis:
And this is, I think, one of the reasons why I love working with FSM. Because if I wasn’t doing this, I’d be a private investigator like I am a sleuth. This is what I love. And sometimes I get bored with athletes because it’s just so stinking easy. The injury is on TV for me to watch. There’s no mystery.
Dr. Carol:
There’s and they want to get better.
Kim Pittis:
Desperately, desperately want to get. The buy in is there? So like I said, once in a while, the universe just gives me these curveballs where I have to go to those lateral spaces.
Dr. Carol:
The answer is always in the history and or physical exam.
Kim Pittis:
Yes.
Dr. Carol:
But it’s the history. It’s like what happened the day before? Yeah. Vaccinated. Did you have a fight with your boyfriend? Did you flunk a test? What happened? Did you try on hats? Did you buy new underwear? Just get as outrageous and random as you can.
Kim Pittis:
Yeah.
Dr. Carol:
Did not come from space. It came from some thing. And the reason that the treatment isn’t working is I’m not working on what caused it. And that’s a good introduction as to okay we’ve done this four times. It’s not working and it always works.
Kim Pittis:
Yeah.
Dr. Carol:
So. I missed something when we started. Yeah. So we need to go back. And what were you doing the day before? Nothing. It’s never nothing.
Kim Pittis:
Yeah, exactly.
Dr. Carol:
So these. That’s the conversation I would have.
Kim Pittis:
This almost reminds me of back in the day when I was a personal trainer and people would not lose weight, and they would come to me very angry. I followed your plan to the letter. I followed your diet to the letter, and I didn’t lose a pound. And I would look them in the eye. And I said, Because you’re lying right now. There is no way if you followed this, you wouldn’t have lost weight. So tell me about the cookies that you ate that you didn’t put on the list. Tell me about the gummy bears that you had in your pocket. And there’s always something. They’re just not being truthful. And I get it sometimes talking about trauma or something that’s embarrassing, especially when you’re coming to see somebody like me. I’m not a therapist. So disclosing some information that people don’t think is relevant is the difference between a successful treatment and an unsuccessful treatment.
Dr. Carol:
And that’s the other thing that I do that’s really obnoxious is in the history on the as part of my history sheet what your height, what your weight. Blah, blah, blah. And then. In in there someplace when you take have you ever had any surgeries, auto accidents or traumas? The next question is, have you ever been raped, molested or abused? And it’s in a sequence where it surprises them.
Kim Pittis:
Right.
Dr. Carol:
Surgery. Auto accident. Have you ever been raped, molested or abused? And that’s sometimes where the physical trauma gets stuck. And. I have to find what’s missing or this isn’t going to work. There’s something that I missed. Have you ever been raped, molested or abused? What happened the day before? Two days before. It’s usually within the first three. And somebody that healthy, it’s going to be 3 to 4 days before. It won’t have been a month. It could be something 3 to 4 days before and it might be something you forgot. So take a minute and think about it. There’s a reason that I ended up with a master’s in psychology and doing a preceptorship at Planned Parenthood. And I get you comfortable asking all sorts of questions in a very casual way that it doesn’t frighten anybody. If you have a female patient who has not been raped or molested, it will be less than 20% of your population. If you look statistically, gees, it’s huge. And maybe 80% is too high. But it’s pretty close. 60, 70%.
Kim Pittis:
Let’s go through some of these questions and then I have some email questions that I want to get to before we forget. What’s life without a challenge? Thanks, Leif. That’s right, Leif says. What’s life without a challenge? Yes, thank you. Lynn wrote, Who was pressuring her to perform as an athlete? Is she trying to stop that activity? Yeah. You know, that’s funny that you say that, because I do see a lot of teenagers that have a lot of anxiety and fear about not just getting better, but if they don’t get better, who are they, what that relationship with their parents is going to look like, Because a lot of times their love is like transactional, right? That they think the only way mom or dad are going to love me or pay attention to me is if I score goals. And it’s super sad. But I did think about that and I did run some of what I thought would help. But don’t think that’s it.
Dr. Carol:
Just also have to ask. They have two emotions buried alive in college on an athletic scholarship.
Kim Pittis:
No.
Dr. Carol:
No. Okay. Yeah. Oh, thank you. The 5G towers are tiny, low frit, but everywhere.
Kim Pittis:
German new medicine asks us up to 18 months before onset. Yeah, I’ll go back, everybody. Thank you. Alf is asking what is the EMF frequency?
Dr. Carol:
I don’t remember. I just look it up on the Buddy. 954 I think. But don’t quote me. Just get the Buddy App. And that’s. Yeah, that’s where I. Sometimes I’ll use the paper laminates. Yeah. Solfeggio frequencies sometimes help. Or there’s one for repairing.
Kim Pittis:
Yeah. Yeah, I’ve tried. I tried that one. I tried all of them.
Dr. Carol:
I mean, after how many sessions have you had?
Kim Pittis:
Five.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah, after five. You’ve tried everything.
Kim Pittis:
I feel like. But I. But obviously I haven’t because.
Dr. Carol:
It’s time to. To have the come to Jesus conversation about. Okay, I’m. Oh, Kerry, I got it right. 954 That’s amazing.
Kim Pittis:
That’s funny. What does Carol win? Chocolate. Let’s throw some a her.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah, exactly.
Kim Pittis:
Jennifer wrote a comment here and then we’ll get to an email. Thank you, Carol, for answering my email about treating my mother as she goes through breast biopsy that was performed this morning. Could you please talk about using protocols with 40/116, such as soft tissue or post-op along with the protocols with 49/116 such as immune support, or do these produce opposing effects? And also when not to use concussion and Vagus when trying to support the immune system. Better to run concussion only if only?
Dr. Carol:
Concussion only. But the other thing is until the biopsy comes back, she doesn’t have breast cancer. Does that makes sense? So they post-op breast day one, run that, and it does 40/162 and all of the breast tissues and 40/116 I guess you could leave out but until the biopsy comes back she doesn’t have breast cancer. So you can run breast health. But it’s if she had the biopsy this morning, you can use the magnetic converters because she’ll be bandaged and then just run post-op the rest. They want. They’ll get the biopsy back in about. It just depends on the surgeon and the center where you’re done. Any place between 24 hours and five days, I think. It just depends. So I continue running breast and reducing inflammation 40 and then do immune support. But if you’re uncomfortable with the bird on your shoulders, don’t run 40/116. You go into your CustomCare software and you take it out. If you don’t have magnetic converters. Breast biopsies are usually done with a local and because they just take out the lump. That they can see. And so then you just use sticky pads so that they cross on the breast. But that’s a good question. You just use the two-by-fours. And if you’re uncomfortable with 40/116, leave that out and just run 40 and all of the tissues that are involved.
Kim Pittis:
Use towels just above and below, but just not through the wound.
Dr. Carol:
No, you can’t even use towels because she’ll be bandaged. I’ve had breast biopsies before. Actually, I made him do a lumpectomy because it was my junior year in chiropractic college. And he said, Well, let’s wait six weeks. I said, No, we’re not going to watch it, because then I’ll spend the next six weeks worrying about it. So just take it out and tell me what it is. Okay. And it was nothing. So it was fine. But I have used FSM then anyway. But I just use sticky pads because you don’t want to get the bandage wet. Gotcha. Depending on how big the thing is. Speaking of Kerry.
Kim Pittis:
Kerry has one. Sorry, I was going to go on to an email, but there’s another one somewhere.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah. I sent this by email too, so it might be a repeat. Go over the questions you would ask on looking for a surgeon for a hip replacement. Oh dear. But the anesthesia part gets confusing as I don’t understand what they give that is necessary and what they give. And when they give it, that might be mitigated and avoided by using. Oh my. , When you are looking for a surgeon for hip replacement, he has to refer you to the surgeon. That’s the first thing. And that’s usually your general practitioner. The question I asked my GP was. I need hip replacement and I need a hip replacement surgeon that is not a jackass. Because some of them are arrogant and they don’t talk to you. And the other thing I would suggest, this guy was perfect so I didn’t have to shop and you interview the surgeon and you don’t tell him you’re interviewing him. Tell me about my hip replacement and how you plan to do it. And he should have current x-rays and look at them and show you what he’s going to do. Anterior replacements are done these days because they’re easier on the surgeon. They have less tissue to move apart. It’s easier to pop the joint out. And you don’t have to cut muscles and then reattach them. It’s faster.
Dr. Carol:
So the insurance companies pay more for it because you use less operating room time. So they’re doing more and more anterior replacements. My guy did them did the training for a year. Did for. Anterior hips didn’t like them because the outcomes they scar more as you’re moving aside the femoral plexus, the femoral arteries, and popping the hip out the front. And they tend to scar more and have more difficult. Of course, I only see the ones that fail, so. Back to your original question. How do you pick the surgeon? You ask for a surgeon, that’s not a jerk. Then you go talk to that surgeon and if you like him and you can talk to him and he answers your questions, Great. The other conversation I have with surgeons is I want to use Microcurrent after the surgery to prevent bruising and increase healing. And the only surgeon that I let get away with saying no was my cardiac surgeon. And because he was thoughtful about it, he said. Would you mind if I said no? I have a certain protocol, and the only times I’ve ever had trouble with this surgery is when I’ve broken my protocol. So he was trained in Texas. He wrote the first paper on Lima to LAD Bypasses in 1968. So that’s the other thing is you want a surgeon that’s over 45, because until then, they get finished with residency, with PTSD and exhaustion when they’re about 41 and actually surgeons in their fifties are better.
Dr. Carol:
So he should have some gray hair. He should touch you and do a physical exam on your hip. And being respectful to him as you ask these questions like Which procedure do you use and why? Anterior-posterior. Have you tried both? And most of the hip replacement surgeons, that’s all they do are hips and knees. That’s their specialty. So there you go. Yeah. And then I’m going to use Microcurrent directly afterwards. It reduces bruising. It increases the rate of healing and reduces scarring. And I need to use it within 4 hours of the surgery. And then the other question is how long after the hip replacement are your patients discharged? Insurance these days make it almost a day procedure. You stay overnight in the morning and you’re out in the afternoon. And the other question is what anticoagulant do you use Pre-op and post-op? And that’s an important one, because the most common side effect of hip replacements that are done without anticoagulants is stroke and DVT. So you usually go on warfarin or some anticoagulant, probably Xarelto these days, three days. No, the night before. And then how long do you keep them on it afterwards? So ask about anti-coagulation.
Dr. Carol:
Those are reasonable questions. If he gets pissed off when you ask them. Say thank you very much at the end of the exam. Don’t schedule the surgery and find another two or three surgeons to talk to And use the one that you get along best with. That is the easiest to talk to and is probably the oldest.
Dr. Carol:
Removing anesthesia. Anesthesia during surgery. There’s two things. We don’t remove anesthesia or we do use the frequency to remove anesthesia in day one, day two, and sometimes day three. The anesthesiologist. A surgeon, thinks he’s God in the O.R. And I’ve been in enough O.R’s as a pharmaceutical rep and as a patient. The most important person in the operating room is the anesthesiologist. So the anesthesiologist, you don’t get to meet and they don’t know who your anesthesiologist is going to be until that morning. So you show up at the hospital at 7:00 or whatever time in the morning and you’re in your gown and you’re in pre-op. And this nice lady comes in and puts your IV in, but they don’t give you any drugs. Because you have to talk to the anesthesiologist and sign the consent for the surgery before you have any medication. All right. So, anesthesia. You need to know what you’re sensitive to, and he’ll ask you.
Dr. Carol:
I’m very sensitive to drugs. And then the thing I tell them is I make my living with my vocal cords and my brain. As far as I’m concerned, you are the most important person in the operating room. And every single anesthesiologist has said and I think I added it up, I’ve had. 13 surgeries with general anesthesia. And so the anesthesiologists are 100% of the time. Oh, it’s a team effort. And I said, yes, I know you have to say that. But you’re the guy that’s going to keep me alive. He has to do the surgery. But you’re the guy that’s going to keep me alive. Because they do. Stuff happens. Yeah. And it’s helpful. I think if you get your 23 and me done and send it to NutraHacker before your surgery. So that you can look over the detoxification and drug snips that you have. So I can go into surgery in the last ten years and say, I have a CYA1A1CYP1A1. It’s a liver detoxification pathway that gives me trouble with certain anesthetics. And if you give me fentanyl, I will barf. So let’s not do that. Because they do that pretty routinely. And I know that about me and fentanyl because of how much barfing I do after surgery. So. That’s all I can think of.
Kim Pittis:
That’s good. The only other question that we had emailed was from Debbie. Debbie. I had a quick question on the Q&A. How close to an injury do you need to place anything? Will the frequency not find itself? Yes and.
Dr. Carol:
No.
Kim Pittis:
We that’s why we sandwich. That’s why we run things above and below. I know for a fact with athletes, when you’re using stickies with an acute fracture or an acute tear, if you can get condense that current as much as possible, yes, it will find itself. But why not condense it to expedite everything?
Dr. Carol:
Condensed is the word you want current density at the area of injury. So you always like you have to run, when you treat a nerve, you have to go from where the nerve starts to where the nerve ends. Like I did this last week, I was treating somebody that had an S1 hyperesthesia. And for convenience, I wrapped the towel across the top of his toes because he was really tall and I didn’t have the towel on S1. And at the end of 50 minutes, S1 was still hypersensitive. And it’s, duh. So I grabbed another towel and wrapped it on the bottom of his foot and was 30 minutes behind schedule. But then S1 was normal.
Kim Pittis:
She had another question that was emailed talking about multiple machines. So if you had a few machines, would you still have the same effect if you ran them all at the same time, such as 9113 on a with 142, 77, 62, 396 on B with two machines, one using 91 and one using 13 plus the B channels at the same time. Or if you had four machines 91 running on all four each B frequency on all four machines.
Dr. Carol:
I guess for me it depends on what you need to know and how much is obvious. So you run disc subacute on the low back and the patient has had a knee replacement and you’re trying to figure out what’s going on in the leg. So you have one machine that’s running 40/396 from her low back to her foot because she’s got this disc thing which had a knee replacement and she still has pain around the knee and down the leg. It’s. So that’s when I use the PrecisionCare. And it turned out that it was torn and broken in the quadriceps tendon because of what they do and scarring in the nerve and metallic toxin in the bone marrow and scarring in the bone marrow is when everything let go.
Kim Pittis:
See what you just described is something that I wanted to talk about. Bank it for next time. But Debbie So just because you have four machines, I don’t think there’s any value in running the same frequency pair on all four machines because nothing ever happens in isolation or in a vacuum. Even with 91/13, like your typical scarring protocols, how did it get scarred? Something tore, something bled, something had trauma. There were all these events that happened before, let alone what happened to the nerve and the central nervous system and the cord. So if you have four machines, I think it’s a waste of time to run four machines on the exact same frequency.
Dr. Carol:
Or on the exact same tissue.
Kim Pittis:
Exactly. Yes.
Dr. Carol:
And it’s when I tell people I’ve had like multiple questions and emails this week and messenger about what? About what machines to buy. This week. I run mostly like four CustomCare’s and one PrecisionCare that I run by hand. And here’s sorry, I’m looking at EMF and Kevin says, there are lots of EMF protecting blankets on Amazon. There are lots of trinkets that protect against EMF. George spent $1200 dollars on this copper coil thing that you put within a Number one, how do they prove they work? That’s I’ve never seen any of them that have any data that show. They just say, here’s this block EMF. It’s $150 so EMF meters, it’s just blankets.
Kevin:
No, I’m saying to test.
Kim Pittis:
Oh contestant that we just wrote. But how do you do scar and remove calcium at the same time on one tissue.
Dr. Carol:
Why would you?
Kim Pittis:
Yeah.
Dr. Carol:
Find out is it scarred or is it calcium? So you wouldn’t run them at the same time? I wouldn’t think. Unless you’re sure it’s both of them.
Kim Pittis:
But even still, you could go back and forth because it’s not going to resonate with two. It’s going to resonate. You may have to undo some of the adhesions first before the calcium or the calcium before the scar. But there’s a chicken and an egg somewhere.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah, I’m all about the chicken, except when it’s the egg.
Kim Pittis:
It’s 4:00. My alarms are going off and I have to share this quote because the synergy quote was actually really good.
Dr. Carol:
Okay, go.
Kim Pittis:
Synergy is better than my way or your way. Because it’s our way.
Dr. Carol:
Absolutely. Yeah.
Kim Pittis:
So we all have to go back to our patients and make sure that they are aware that this is a team effort. And the only way for my treatment to be successful is if I get all the information.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah. And when you’re treating young people that I tell you the story about the ten year old.
Kim Pittis:
Yes.
Dr. Carol:
Yeah, that one. It’s like this is between you and me and we form a team. Yeah. And so I need to know. Yeah. I love that quote. Say it again.
Kim Pittis:
Energy is better than my way or your way. Because it’s our way.
Dr. Carol:
It is. We are in this together.
Kim Pittis:
I’m grateful for my synergistic group that I got to debrief with. And if anybody has any more ideas, I’ll. I’m willing to take them on and I will share the results next Wednesday. Bye, everybody. Have a great week.
