Hello,

I went to see a chiropractor due to pain all over my body (thanks to Lysia) and I have been given adjustments, myotherapy (deep muscle massage) and physical therapy (muscle massage and deep heat via microwave) for a little over 2 weeks now. On the overall, I feel much much better, I feel much rested upon waking, and the migraines (caused by neck stress) have disappeared. I still feel a bit weird after adjustments (proabably the new sense of balance and the muscle mashing) - sometimes I feel really ill for a second and it disappears (I usually pass gass or fall into a deep, relaxing slumber/nap).

My question is, is chiropractic aligned with macrobiotic principles? I like chiro because it is wholistic, non-invasive, and drug-free - however, what about the xray and the microwave treatment?

Also, are my feelings of illness (albeit for a second), could these be some sort of discharge of the whatever (ie lactic acid, too much yin) was released from the muscle and bone manipulation?

I'm scared of vomiting - but my counselor says this is a healthy discharge - though I read in the book that it is one of the more violent, and therefore not too normal discharges. The reason why I added this is sometimes I feel nauseated and it causes an anxiety attack. I have never vomited, not that I try to stop it, it's just that my nausea has not reached that point. (Sometimes I think my nausea is also caused by my panic attacks) - I know that umeboshi and ginger are good for nausea - anyone would want to suggest / comment on this?

thanks!
