Not Obvious Sources of Pain in the body
Everybody knows (or should) that pain is an alert from our immune system that something is wrong. The problem is that all too few of us are listening, particularly to some of the more subtle pains that happen to affect us. This also applies to too many MD's without enough time.
If you have a headache, an MD will often say "take two aspirin and call me in the morning". An orthomolecular or alternate health practitioner will try to find out why you have the headache. It's certainly not because you have a deficiency of salicylic acid (Aspirin).
There are many things that can cause a headache. Did you know that an infected tooth, or for that matter an infection anywhere in your body can cause a headache?
You have many allergies that you aren't even aware of. (Everyone does!) Some of these may not have any particular symptoms attached that are easily diagnosed. For example, I developed rheumatoid arthritis in my hands for a peanut allergy. How can this be - I was brought up on peanut and jelly sandwiches, and at 60 years old, I get this crippling disease?
Having studied allergy for several years, I was aware that RA is most often caused by an allergy, and most often it is an allergy to wheat. I finally found out what my allergy was by a simple pulse test. Pulse Test to test for allergies
Years previously, I had tested positive for peanuts by the End Point Titration Test, and while no symptoms at that time, I remembered it, and tested for it. I stopped all peanut input, and in a few months, the RA was gone.
Shortly after that, I had severe pains in my right arm - a combination of tennis elbow, neuralgia in my upper arm, and bursitis in my shoulder. Another series of tests, and this was narrowed down to soy allergy.
To make a long story shorter, I went to a friend of mine that did acupuncture, and he did that magic on me for both peanuts and soy. A couple of years later, I had similar pains in my left arm, and tests showed that soy was involved again. Back to my friend, and in 2004, some years later pain was back in my right knee. (It was while lying on my friends couch with a couple dozen needles sticking in me that I realized that subliminal messaging could accomplish the same things as EEG Biofeedback.)
I didn't eat peanuts more than once a week or less, and could tolerate them. Soy is ubiquitous and found it too many foods, so elimination isn't easy.
Now, in 2008, the same symptoms as originally felt in the right arm were felt again in the left arm. Obviously, the soy demon was back. Back to my acupuncture friend. We did the soy bit again, but the pain didn't clear up. After a couple of visits, we were sure that it wasn't the soy allergy.
I then went to a dentist for the first time in years. Lo and behold, I had several cavities, and some small infections at and under the gum line. Filling these solved the problem.
Who would think that a tooth cavity would cause such diverse pain over a shoulder arm and elbow? (But who would think that it could be also caused by soy allergy?)
I'm lucky because I've studied allergy and alternative health, and have a mind more open to such strange phenomenon than most.
The moral to this story is that the body and mind are one. We cannot separate what happens in one from possible causes in the other. In the long run, we, and only we, are responsible for our own health. We cannot depend entirely on a doctor, as there are too many who depend upon only a cookbook of drugs, that do not cure the problem, but merely "cover it up", and this can lead to worsening of the basic problem.
