>> >>: I'M ALLERGIC TO MILK, ALL DAIRY PRODUCTS, & EGGS, STUFF LIKE THAT, AND THEN TREE NUTS,
PEANUTS, AND PROBABLY OTHER NUTS LIKE WALNUTS AND ALMONDS.
>> >>: JONESﾊ >> >>: I WILL START GETTING ITCHY AND HAVE
RED HIVES AND MY SKIN WILL GET RED AND THEN I'LL HAVE TO TAKE SOME BENADRYL OR GET A WIPE
AND WIPE IT OFF.
>> >>: JONES LITTLE BROTHER COLE HAS SOME ALLERGIES TOO.
A CHIROPRACTOR TOLD ABOUT AN ALLERGY TREATMENT CALLED BIOALLERGENIX.
>> >>: I IS ASKED HIM WHAT THAT WAS, HE TOLD ME IT WAS A LASER TREATMENT THAT ELIMINATED
ALLERGIES.
I HAD NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS BEFORE AND I WAS CURIOUS.
HE TOLD ME HE HAD A HUNDRED PERCENT SUCCESS RATE.
>> >>: JONES BROAT ZACH IN.
>> >>: HE PERFORMED LASER TREATMENT ON MY SON, IT WAS JUST A LITTLE PEN WITH A BLUE
LIGHT AND HE WENT OVER THE TOP OF HIS SKULL, YOU KNOW, HIS DIFFERENT POINTS THAT THEY HAVE.
>> >>: AFTER THE THERAPY, THE CHIROPRACTOR TOLD JONES THAT IN TWO DAYS ZACH COULD EAT
EGGS.
JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, JONES BROUGHT ZACH IN TO SEE HIS ALLERGIST.
DR.ﾊMICHAEL WELCH CHECKED ZACH'S SENSITIVITY TO EGGS AND IT WAS OFF THE CHARTS.
SYLVIA JONES WAS FURIOUS.
>> >>: YOU'RE LISTENING TO A PROFESSIONAL AND THEY'RE TELLING YOU THIS, AND YOU GET
YOUR HOPES UP.
AND THEN WHEN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN, WHEN IT DIDN'T WORK, I MEAN, I WAS LITERALLY SITTING IN THE
OFFICE YOU KNOW ON FACEBOOK MAKING A COMMENT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO CRY IN FRONT OF MY
SON ALTHOUGH I HAD A IMAWLTD KNOT IN MY THROAT.
PARENTS ARE DESPERATE.
>> >>: JONES FILE AD FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE CALIFORNIA BOARD OF CHIROPRACTIC EXAMINERS.
DR.ﾊWELCH HAS BEEN TREATING PATIENTS WITH ALLERGIES FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS.
EVEN WITH ALL OF HIS EXPERIENCE, WELCH SAYS HE WOULD NEVER SAY HE COULD CURE SOMEONE.
>> >>: THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS CURE AT THIS POINT.
A LOT OF EXCITING THINGS IN THE PIPE LINE, BUT NOTHING THAT WE CAN CALL A CURE.
IT'S SIMPLE AVOIDANCE AND TREATMENT OF A REACTION IF IT ACCIDENTLY HAPPENS.
>> >>: WELCH SAYS IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE AND DANGEROUS FOR CHIROPRACTORS TO CLAIM THEY CAN TREAT
OR CURE FOOD ALLERGIES.
>> >>: IF YOU CAME WITH TOO ME WITH BACK PAIN AND WANTED ME TO WORK ON YOUR BACK FOR AN
ORTHOPEDIC PROBLEM, I'M NOT GOING TO DEAL WITH THAT.
I'M GOING TO SEND YOU TO SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS HOW TO DEAL WITH THAT.
THE TRAINING OF CHIROPRACTORS AND OTHERS OF THAT ILK HAVE REALLY ARE NOT TRAINED IN THE
AREA OF CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY, CLINICAL ALLERGY, CLINICAL PATHO PHYSIOLOGY OF TRUE FOOD ALLERGIES.
THEY SHOULDN'T BE TREATING THAT KIND OF STUFF.
>> >>: THE CHIROPRACTOR BHOO PERFORMED THE LASER PROCEDURE ON ZACH JONES WOULDN'T AGREED
TO BE INTERVIEWED.
WE TURNED THE TOO THIS CHIROPRACTOR IN PACIFIC BEACH DR.ﾊBRIN STENS WHRR OPERATES DREAM
WELLNESS WITH A CLINIC IN PACIFIC BEACH AND ONE IN DEL MAR.
STENSLER CONCEDES THE STORY OF THE CHIROPRACTOR DID TO ZACH JONES IS DISTURBING.
>> >>: I'M NOT SIGH SAYING THIS CHIROPRACTOR MAL PRACTICED, WHAT I'M SAYING IS IT WOULD
NOT MAKE ME VERY HAPPY IF THIS SITUATION WERE REVERSED.
IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN IN MY OFFICE.
THAT I CAN ASSURE YOU.
ANY TIME A CHIROPRACTOR PUTS SOMEBODY'S HEALTH IN DANGER, IT MAKES THE REST OF THE PROFESSION
LOOK BAD.
>> >>: CONTROVERSIAL USE OF LASERS HAS PROMPTED THE BOARD OF CHIROPRACTIC EXAMINERS TO TAKE
ACTION, WITH A NEW REGULATION AIMED AT IMPROVING CONSUMER SAFETY.
IT PROHIBITS THE USE OF LASERS OUTSIDE THE CHIROPRACTIC SCOPE OF PRACTICE N CLUING THE
LASER TREATMENT OF ALLERGIES.
>> >>: IT'S HARD FOR ME TO COMMENT ON A LASER THAT'S NOT PART OF OUR STANDARD OF CARE.
AS A CHIROPRACTOR I FOCUS ON THE FUNCTION OF THE NERVE SYSTEM.
>> >>: ZACH JONES IS STILL UPSET ABOUT HIS LASER TREATMENT.
HE'D LIKE TO GIVE THE CHIROPRACTOR HE SAW A PIECE OF HIS MIND.
>> >>: I WOULD SAY TO HIM IT DIDN'T WORK, AND YOU LIED TO MY FAMILY, AND IT'S REAL DISAPPOINTING,
YOU SHOOD SHOULDN'T DO THAT AGAIN.
>> >>: ZACH'S MOM SYLVIA WOULDN'T PULL ANY PUNCHES EITHER.
>> >>: HE CAN'T DO THIS, IT'S DANGEROUS.
IT'S JUST DANGEROUS TO DO THIS.
YOU PUTTING KIDS LIVES AT RISK.
