KST A to Z
Dehydration - 12-month-old
Doug Dickmann, DC
Rostrevor, SA, Australia
A patient brought her 12-month-old son complaining that he was going off his food and refusing to drink fluids. He had not had a drink for two days.
I tried to give him a glass of water and he pushed me away. I checked emotions to fluids: negative; checked the glass of water to his cervical spine: positive challenge; checked emotions to cervicals and water together: positive challenge.
I corrected the emotions (sphenoids and C1 showed positive) while he held the water and his neck at the same time. As I placed the arthrostim down to retest him he sat up and drank every last drop of water in the glass.
His mom said, "I've seen Dr. D do some weird stuff but this felt almost spooky." Checked with his mom the next day and his drinking water was back to normal.
