Who We Help: "Perfect Storm" Kids
What is the "Perfect Storm?"
If your child has been diagnosed with, or you suspect they have, a chronic neurological condition such as epilepsy, autism, apraxia, cerebral palsy, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, asthma, allergies, digestive issues, POTS, PANS, or dysautonomia, then it is very likely your child (and also you) are going through The Perfect Storm.
The term was coined by world-renowned thought-leader, educator, podcast host and paediatric chiropractor, Dr. Tony Ebel (DC). The Perfect Storm is a general term used to describe the increasingly long list of childhood conditions that are affecting children in the modern western world.
The Underlying Cause of the Perfect Storm
Most of the time, The Perfect Storm starts with a high-stress pregnancy and/or significant or severe birth trauma/intervention. This creates cascade of challenges ranging from colicky unsettled infants to "raging bull" toddlers or clumsy and uncoordinated kids with stunted development, and eventually one the increasingly prevalent childhood diagnoses such as autism or ADHD.
As our children grow through these tough challenges, we're generally told that they will "grow out of it." When in reality, the problem may disappear, only to be replaced shortly thereafter by a new developmentally-appropriate symptom or label.
For example, the constantly spitting up and inconsolably crying infant grows into the unmanageable, under slept, and tantrum-throwing toddler, who then grows into the anxious, socially challenged school kid with learning difficulties or even developmental regressions, who then grows into the anxious and low self-esteem teenager with bad posture.
If this sounds remotely like your birth history or your child, then we highly recommend you look at the library of resources and information at PXDocs.com and take a listen to Dr. Tony Ebel's Experience Miracles Podcast (on Spotify or Apple).
For those who are really interested, you may begin to find some answers by researching the relationship between the vagus nerve and any of the conditions listed above.
