SET-DB™ and Asthma: Post 2 of 3 — Recommended Treatment Program

Last week’s post discussed four potential triggers for asthma: food sensitivities, environmental antigens and toxins, digestive problems, and stress. The post began by explaining that it’s better for patients to go through a complete treatment program but that not all could or would, for financial or other reasons. This post will lay out a suggested approach to helping asthma sufferers with SET-DB™.

Asthma and/or Allergy Report

When anyone calls to make an appointment for sensitivity work, they should be told you require them to read one of your reports prior to the appointment. If all you have is the Allergy Report, that will be the one they’ll need to read.

If they have asthma, they should read the Asthma Report because it’s more specific to their condition and does a better job of explaining how you can help them with their particular health challenge. If you don’t have the Asthma Report edited and ready to use, take a few hours this week and get it done. Then get the Kids and Allergies Report done, if you haven’t already. They’re all extremely useful for helping get people into your office for sensitivity elimination treatment (SET) and will save you a ton of time on their initial visit.

And have them printed as I explain in the Practitioner Manual. Don’t be cheap and staple letter-sized sheets of paper together. The reports will look, well, cheap, and reflect poorly on you. Plus people are more likely to read a report printed as I teach because they look more legitimate.

​The Asthma Report is also a great way to educate existing non-SET patients about the treatment without coming across as “salesy.” You simply hand them the report and ask them to read it. No sales talk, no pressure. Let the report do all the work. If they’re interested they’ll ask about it next time they come in or call to set up an appointment. If they’re not interested they will appreciate not being pressured and will return for the services you’ve already provided them with.

Consultation/first visit

I considered (almost) all first visits to be consultations, for which I didn’t charge. They became first visits when the individual agree to receive treatment (and to pay for it that day). Another option is to charge a nominal fee, like $25. Your choice.

Three BioSurveys should be run, then printed and discussed with the patient:

1. Category Scan
2. Common Food Scan
3. OSST (Eval)

If they’ve read the Asthma Report they won’t have to ask why you ran the Common Food Scan. If they didn’t read the report, you’ll have to take the time to explain it, which will make the appointment longer. This is time you will likely not be compensated for.

The Consultation Symptom Questionnaire can be very helpful as an asthmatic will likely have symptoms related to food sensitivities. Actually, most asthmatics will have other conditions related to food sensitivities. It’s rare for someone to present with only one condition.

The OSST may or may not show high stress in the lungs even though you or the patient may feel it should. Trust the findings, not your preconceived thoughts. “Today your greatest stress is in your pancreas.” Then you explain how running the full OSST would produce a homeopathic remedy (or whatever you’re using, if you’ve substituted something else for the drainage formulas) that help remove the stress from all or most of their stressed areas. Then you would say something like:

“But as you read in my report, asthma is largely related to food and environmental sensitivities (or allergies, if you’re using that term). Let’s talk about those results.”
You’d then go over the Category Scan, then Common Food Scan as discussed in the Practitioner Manual, adapting the language for asthma as well as any other symptoms or conditions they present with.

Suggested treatment program for asthma

Note: Because of the new BioSurveys added recently, the Foods and Nutrients treatment program now has 25 categories. Recall you can download a PDF for each BioSurvey here.
A complete treatment program would include Inhalants and Foods and Nutrients, a total of 34 treatments. You might need to substitute or add Bacteria and Viruses. I would do the treatments in the following order:

1. Amino acids
2. Phenolics - The pioneering physician for phenolic treatment, Abram Ber, M.D., wrote that while coumarin seemed to be the most important phenolic for asthmatics (he claimed it needed to be treated almost 100% of the time), quite often many of the phenolics were problematic. I would adjust the Range generously low.
3. Minerals
   - ​Check for sensitivities to any medication or supplements they’re taking.
   - Quite often “side effects” to medication are really the result of a sensitivity. Be mindful of their dosage needs; i.e., don’t treat them for a medication they have to take an hour later, which would be inside the four-hour avoidance period.
   - Be careful with supplements. Some will bring a paper grocery bag (or three—yes that really happened to me) full of bottles in for you to test. You could be stuck doing that for thirty minutes or more. If this happens, it’s best to have them pick a few they really think they need, check for sensitivities to the few they pick, and have them stop taking the other until they’re done with their treatment program. Many will be relieved they don’t have to take all those pills anymore, a few will probably keep taking them without telling you.
   ​- Although it takes a little longer, I thinks it’s best to add any items you’re checking into a session via the Auxiliary Button. (I believe this is only available for Elite users. Select users will need to check for sensitivities manually, leg-length check or muscle testing.) This way everything’s being done on the ZYTO, which, in my opinion, is more professional looking, and you’ll have a printed record of what was tested and treated that visit.
4. Vitamins
5. Fatty Acids
6. Next either start in on the Inhalants if they seem most important, or keep working your way through the Foods. You might want to refer to their Category and Food Scans for direction as well as their Consultation Symptom Questionnaire and history.
7. Continue through all the Foods and Inhalants, if that’s the program they’ve signed up for.
8. If you do an OSST, I recommend you wait until they’ve had five-to-ten SETs. They may not need the OSST by then. On the other hand, the OSST can be beneficial to many other conditions they might have, which you could easily help with. Use your professional judgement. ​

Next week I’ll cover some of the more problematic categories, which can help fashion a treatment program for patients who can’t/won’t go through the entire treatment program.
