Dear Dr. Brimhall,

Hope this email finds you doing well. My wife and I are excited to be at either the Atlanta seminar or the Orange Beach seminar. I'm writing because my 3.5 year old son had a virus about 4-5 weeks ago and afterwards, he has not quit urinating every 5-10 minutes, sometimes more often than that. From what I've read and researched it's called Pollakuria (not polyuria), it's small amounts of urine, sometimes just dribbles out, but he has that urge to go, and at night, he doesn't have to go. It's embarrassing for him as he doesn't want to go to school because he says he tee-tee's too much, and it's driving mom and myself insane as we can't go anywhere without him going to the bathroom a bunch. I've tried the laser and adjusting him, haven't tried the percussor yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated? Thank you so much for your help.

Dear Doctor,

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALSO. WHY MAKE A CHOICE, COME TO BOTH SEMINARS...Both will be very different and incredible learning experiences. Atlanta will be a three day hitting functional diagnosis very hard with Dr. Dicken Weatherby, Dr. Jay Mead and Dr. Erin Lommen as guests talking on Blood, Urine and Saliva testing and I will be going over hair as well and treatment and nutritional protocols for all of the testing and conditions discussed with Dr. Brian Anderson assisting. Orange Beach will be in an incredible lovely setting and we will be doing a composite of cases like you present to make sure you know all of the adjusting, heavy metal protocol, scar tissue release, laser, craniosacral and percussor techniques to perfection.

The answer to your question: I feel there is a residual infection and possibly viral and bacterial at the same time. I also feel he needs visceral manipulation to make sure the kidneys and bladder are in proper three dimensional movements.

Let’s start at the beginning with digestion and re-establishing his good bacteria in the large and small intestines as we teach in the Six Steps to Wellness and as Dr. Weatherby refers to the healing hierarchy. Remember 80 to 90% of his immune system is in the gut. Total Probiotics has strains of acidophilus for the small intestine and strains of bifidus for the large intestine. Open a capsule of Total Enzymes three times per day and dump it in his mouth at the beginning of mealtimes. Do the same with the Total Probiotics at one when he first wakes up in the morning and one at bedtime. He can take full capsules at this age, under these circumstances.

Use the Nutri-West herbal tincture Immuno Plus at one drop per hour when he is awake. You may need to add other nutrients as his body starts to detoxify. Children do pick up heavy metals in their journey though life. So test him and give him small doses, like one drop two to three times per day of the N-W Total Homeopathic Metals, one at a time that tests for that day. Start with Total Niccolum, at one drop twice per day for two days and then re-test. The heavy metal protocol will put on display the proper area of the brain to laser by therapy localization. Dr. Murphy has developed a liquid Complete Hi-Potency Omega-3 Liquid that would be good if he will take it. Children can be very particular to tastes and textures at this age.

Technique wise, check him for a dropped/fixated bladder and dropped kidneys. Lift them with CSF movement. Review the seminar manual if necessary. Percussion is a blessing in this type of situation. Again refer to the Seminar manual if you have any questions to positioning or placement. Start out with a setting of about 7-8 on the percussor/VibraCussor and do in order: the left fibula head, the right fibula head, the right greater trochanter, the left arm/shoulder (deltoid recess) for the frontal bone release, the right arm/shoulder (deltoid recess) for the occipital release. Then Percuss the 3L and the 12T-1L junction while he is side lying. Put him on his back at this point and release his symphysis pubes with the percussor or VibraCusssor.

Then gently lift the bladder by placing you hand or hands just above they symphysis and pulling very gently head-ward with CSF movement. Then do the same with the kidneys one at a time, bending the leg on the side you are lifting. You will have both hands on the patient, with one contacting the front and one on the back over the kidney area, gently lifting with CSF movement and do an unwinding and lifting of the kidney area.

You should see a difference in just two or three days. Please keep me informed of his progress.

That ends this week’s Puzzle Piece. We look forward to seeing you and your staff at a Nutri-West/Brimhall Seminar to make sure you are up on all of the techniques and nutrition to allow your patients to improve and your practice to flourish.
