The COVID Vaccines

The COVID vaccines are a hot topic that I am now ready to address because I know many of you have loads of questions that I have been answering with my limited knowledge but now am ready to answer.  I am glad the vaccines are out for I really think they’re our only way through this pandemic but with the new technology I was really hesitant to see what it would look like in the body.  Now after muscle testing about 75 patients with either one or two vaccines I can definitely tell you I am not as nervous about it for what I am seeing is the same as what I have seen in the past when helping patients detox the heavy metals and chemicals that come with other vaccines.  I have had a lot of experience when helping detox infants, children and adults from other vaccine fillers and was worried that the COVID vaccines would be different and too complicated to help my patients with.  I know it’s still early for we don’t know what the COVID vaccines will do to the body in a year, 5 years, 10 years etc. and this is why we have to respect everyone's vaccine choice but so far I’m happy with what I see. About 12% of my patients are having a reaction to either the first or second vaccines.  A reaction is anything more than a sore arm and tired the night of the vaccine. 

A reaction can include feeling sick with a sore throat, fever, joint pain, numbing toes, legs, or

fingers, back pain or dizziness which can last anywhere from 1-5 day. No one has had to go to

the hospital to seek help from the vaccine reaction.  

I have seen only 5 Johnson and Johnson vaccines in my patients of which 2 have had

a reaction.  The rest are an even mix of Pfizer and Moderna which despite all the research,

I have seen an equal amount of reactions and do not have a preference on which shot is

better.  12% is a small percentage of patients having a reaction so as I see more patients

with the vaccine in them the number may change a little and go anywhere from 9%-15%

but I do expect it to stay lower than average and that is because after the first shot

I muscle test to see what is needed to help the liver, lymphatic system or kidneys detox

the heavy chemicals or heavy metals.  

Helping patients detox from the vaccine doesn't mean taking supplements only.

Some people need other support as well including lymphatic drainage therapy,

castor oil packs, ozone sauna, foot detox bath or salt booth depending on their symptoms.

With my experience so far, it takes about 3 weeks per shot to detox which is great because

with the Pfizer or Moderna they recommend getting the second shot 4 weeks after the first

shot which gives the body enough time to detox the first shot.  It’s best to get muscle tested

within the first 4 days of getting the shot.  Even best is to get muscle tested the day of to

see exactly what supplements your body needs.  It’s absolutely fine to get tested a week or

two after as well.  As long as you get tested between the shots, this will help you detox

before the second shot so that it goes well. 

If you are a patient of mine and have already gotten the J&J or both of the other shots know

that I can still help you detox the fillers from the vaccine(s) which I feel is important just

because we don’t know the after affect of the vaccine.   

I know many of my patients’ family and friends don’t live in NYC and yet want help detoxing

the vaccine so I decided to put together a vaccine detox bundle.  The majority of my patients

are testing for homeopathic supplements from HVS, called Metals and another one called

Chemicals.  One bottle is taken per shot so the bundle comes with 2 Metals and

2 Chemicals.  One cap of each is taken per day and added to water.  They can be taken together at

any time of day.  Take the bottles until done.  To buy the vaccine detox bundle, click here.

Patient Spotlight

It was generous to have one of my patients take the time to write out her healing journey with us.  I found it so inspirational that I wanted to share it!

        My 3 Year Transformational Story with Healing Arts & Nutrition Response Testing

Dr. Armitstead and Nutrition Response Testing has completely transformed and restored my health and my body. After years of energetic, spiritual, emotional healing, I knew it was time to heal the body that had housed so much trauma, pain, fear and grief in its cellular memory manifesting as disease and an aged body. Healing Arts has been my passage back to physical renewal and the embodiment of health - where I am finally balanced in mind, spirit and now body. 

I have been a dedicated client to this healing work for almost 3 years, abiding every appointment, every supplement, every nutritional dictate from my body’s own wisdom brought through the intuitive and skillful knowledge of Dr. Armitstead and Nova and Nutrition Response Testing. In these past three years I/we have healed (unspecified) Autoimmune Disease, Crohn's Disease, Chronic Inflammation, Chronic Migraines, Thyroid Nodules/Disease, Nervous System Disorders, Spinal Disease, Digestive Disorders, Chronic Constipation, Joint Pain, Obesity, Menopausal/Post-menopausal symptoms such as vagina dryness and thinning vaginal walls, thinning hair and sexual apathy, painful intercourse and pelvic floor dysfunction.

I have gained a body, organs, blood, heart, hormonal system, nervous system, joints, muscles, sexual organs, hair and skin that radiates the internal well being I have spent years manifesting. I have gained balance and wholeness and a belief in the wisdom of my own body’s genius. I have gained clarity, confidence, energy, wisdom, agelessness, renewed sexuality, and a love of and connection with my body that I had been dissociated with, ashamed of, and felt disdain for. I have gained a dedicated yoga practice and a love of exercising, strength training and recovery methods to care for my body because I love it, not because ‘I have to..’

When I began working with Healing Arts, It was my last hope, I had all but given up - almost buying into the belief that ‘this is just the way it is at age 50+ In post menopause...’. I had all of this light and beauty within me that I feared may be trapped forever beneath a body that had stored so much life: pain, grief, sorrow, limited beliefs, and society’s dictates of what it is to be a woman of a certain age, crying urgently to be healed. Despite having the skills to heal myself energetically/emotionally/spiritually, I didn’t know how to heal my body on my own, and the medical community only offered toxic medications and risky surgeries. I knew I needed help, and Healing Arts was the answer to my soul's calling.  

Healing Arts and Nutrition Response Testing is a journey, not a quick fix - it takes dedication, faith, consistency and an unwavering ethic to what your body is asking of you. It demands an interactive approach with self and with the practitioner to take part in and responsibility for your healing. It is so worth the investment (which may at times seem ‘expensive’ but has saved me literally thousands of dollars in medical bills and medications). It is so worth the time, the supplements and the difficult releasing of some of the most addictive foods and substances we ingest in our bodies. It’s a way of life that is so worthy. It is the best gift I have ever given myself - I have lost 65 pounds, lost a dependence on medical doctors, lost a dependence on unhealthy foods and substances, lost low self-esteem and inhibitions and a fear of death and disease and gained so much joy, well-being, fearlessness, hope and possibility, healthy sexual functioning and a love of healthy and nutritious foods and cooking, and most importantly such gratitude and love for my body, it’s wisdom and my health. 

I am so grateful for Healing Arts and Dr. Armitstead for helping lead me back to my body and it’s wholeness. 

Thank you.
