Inspiration

I am thankful for prayer. It takes over where my research books leave off. It tells me what is truth and what is made up in the world. It tells me where to go, where to look, what to do when I am stuck, when I need direction. Thank goodness I was taught this as a child. Thank goodness I know it works.

I have a problem with information overload. I read , and read, and read and read. You know, all the good stories like "The Yeast Connection", "Nourishing Traditions", "The Viscious Cycle" , "Nourishing Hope"and of course every story under the sun of autism and gut related topics. All the light , fluffy stuff. The reading leads me to research. New and better products, new research and new directions. The problem is , not everything is right for each person. Just because there is promising info about every new approach, it does not mean it is what that child needs. Frustrating.

So, a week ago I had a little late night conversation on my knees with my Heavenly Father. I am stuck. I don't know what to do with my Tate. He is doing so well and we have come so far but I don't know where to go from here. If this is as good as it gets, then I am completely happy with that but I don't think we are. We still have food allergies, leaky gut, little speech. There is more work to do. But...where to go from here. There are new things to try but I don't know if they are for him. I have read it all and researched everything I can get my hands on. Confused. I prayed, and prayed, and prayed and prayed. I was there by my self in my living room, on my knees well into the morning hours. I felt uninspired and decided to go to sleep. I woke up and the line that popped into my head was , "Let food be thy medicine." Minutes later my husband awoke. He started with the words "I feel inspired that Tate needs more food."

Hmmm. Inspiration. We feed Tate, I promise. I make it all myself. I grind the fresh gluten free grains, all organic , of course. He eats fresh fruits and veggies, smoothies and organic meats but there is more. I always believed that the Lord gave us all we need to be healed right here on this earth but we have only begun to understand how to use it properly.

Let food be thy medicine. What did that mean for my Tate? He needs more good fats. He needs more calories. I need to take the next step. The soaking , fermenting, sprouting. All the things that are time intensive but oh so necessary. I started pouring through the incredible book called "Nourishing Traditions" and it spoke to me. I needed to dive in and take it to the next level. I am there. It seemed so extreme to me before but it's funny how you can be ready at certain times for the next level of health. My son needs this. He needs more than what I am doing now. He needs to be fed on a different level.

You will be getting a lot of this info from me in the next posts I am sure. You may not at all be ready for those steps in your life. Start where ever you are. Start your mountain to climb at whatever step you are on. Just begin. Let food heal you. We should be able to get all of our nutrition from the nutrients around us and not need drugs or supplements but as a society, we are far from that. It is a sad situation we have all gotten ourselves into. We have to change it.

I soaked my muffins overnight last night, thanks to Kara Bagley's great class. (see her link to the right). They were delicious. You can check out her blog for all her great info and class schedule. She has recently taken it to the next level too and is a wealth of information.

I know I will get my Tater figured out. Because of him, I will be a better person. I will be able to share with you. I get email after email of struggles with health that moms are having with their children and themselves. It is sad. It is hard. We will all figure it out. Just get on your knees, ask for direction then go to work. No biggie, right? Ha.

From one of my early mentors, Dr. Henry G. Bieler, MD in his book "Food is your best medicine," he says:

"Nature (God), made man a generally perfect machine. But man,

through ignorance, fear and greed has thrown a monkey wrench into that machine.

Health is simple but few have it. Why? Because we do not give nature an opportunity

to reveal her story. Food, not drugs , is your best medicine."

vaccines....revisited.

Vaccines. Hmmm. I don't particularly like discussing this topic for a couple reasons: 1: vaccines are a very personal thing, everyone has an opinion. 2: whatever I say, there will be people out there who want to argue. However,this topic has been requested so regardless of what anyone will say, I am going to comment. With that in mind, if you have a dissenting view, remember that it is your point of view and you are free to relay that on your blog. Not mine. Thanks.

Vaccines came up a few times last week, ironically, because I hadn't really thought about them lately. We are past the baby stage around here. First, I got a letter from the schools saying that 6th graders are now going to be required to get a few vaccines to enter that school year. Uhg. Then , I got an email from a sweet mama, miss Abigail's mom, who had a very heart wrenching story to tell; stemming from her experience with vaccines. Right after that, I had an email asking that I please blog about vaccines again. To top it off, Miss Terri posted an article about vaccines. I guess it is time to have a little discussion on the subject.

What are my feelings? I can say that through the course of studying and reading testimonies from hundreds of parents who learned the hard way, my feelings on vaccines have changed over the years. I did give vaccines to my kids, although I did give them a little more spread out than normal. My oldest have far fewer vaccines than they now have but the last one , unfortunately, did have them all, up until his 5 year old vaccines. If I only understood them before Mr. Tate was injected....if only.
I know there has been much good come from many of these vaccines. I get that. What I don't get is why America, unlike most other countries, subjects their kids to at least 3 times as many vaccines as other countries. Why after repeated studies and requests that the vaccines are still loaded with junk. Also, why or why is there so much cover up going on even when there is overwhelming evidence that kids have been directly affected? I am sure there has lots to do with money. Lots.

You may not want to believe it. You may want to think it is all OK and just puffed up stories, but, the fact is that being in this world of Autism that I live in, I meet real moms with real stories. Real kids that were fine until the moment they received an MMR and suddenly lost all speech. Kids that are full of aluminum and mercury for no apparent reason. You never know if your child will have adverse reactions. It is a game of Russian Roulette. What I suggest is that you make vaccines a personal decision. NOT your physicians decision. Not my decision. You research, you read books like the great book from Dr. Sears on vaccines. Books that will give you options and help you understand that there are responsible ways to go about it. If we don't, we are at risk. Our babies are at risk. We are responsible and until we stand up and take control, nothing is going to change. But.....don't take my word for it. Listen to Miss. Abigails story:

"I know vaccines are a hot topic now-a-days, and they also happen to be a very emotional one for me. My intent in posting this is not to offend anyone in any way, but merely to share my story and what I have learned through my experience with my daughter's vaccinations. I haven't shared this story with more than 2 people since it happened, but a friend of mine just posted something on her blog about vaccines and she inspired me to share. Her post made me realize how I wish I would have had more information on vaccines before I made my daughter's first doctor's appointment, so I would like to share with you why I made the decision not to vaccinate my children, and to provide you with resources where to find more information on the topic if you are interested in doing your own investigating.


Abby at 12 months, a few weeks after her appointment

Abby was always very bright and had started speaking very early- at 9 months she was saying as many words as Stryder is now at 18, and she was holding full conversations at 11 months. She was incredibly curious, self motivated, and could sit in her room for 2 hours all by herself looking through her books.

Like any first-time mom, I tried really hard to be a perfect Mommy: I read books on how to be a good mom, and followed everything to a tee. I went to all her doctor appointments with a list of questions to ask. There were so many things I was worried about, and vaccinating Abby was not one of them. I had never questioned vaccinations, or even thought about the option to refuse them. After all, why would I want to? I had been vaccinated as a child, and all the parenting books I read said they could save my daughter's life if she ever comes in contact with any of those horrible diseases. After all, they are harmless, right?

After Abby's 12 month check up, everything changed. For some reason, she hadn't received all her 6 month vaccinations, so the doctor sat down with me at the appointment (with a concerned look on his face) and asked my permission to 'double her up'. I said, "Sure, they won't hurt her, right?" "Of course not," he assured me. "She might have a mild fever tonight and be cranky for the next few days, but that's completely normal." I held her little legs tightly as they administered 7 different shots and my baby cried out in pain.

We left the doctor's office around 1pm, and she seemed fine. She was her happy, talkative self. As I was preparing her snack at around 3pm, it started. She walked into the kitchen, started to whimper, and threw up. For the next hour or so I carried her around, and she would point to the kitchen sink every time she was going to be sick. I would hold her over the sink as she vomited, over and over. Then things got worse. Much worse. She rapidly became weaker and less responsive. I laid with her in my bed all night with towels underneath us, as she had become unable to lift her head or even wake up to vomit. Her fever measured in at 102. I called the doctor's office. I explained the situation to the doctor on call and said she was having a bad reaction to her vaccinations and asked what I could do. The doctor assured me that it was a "coincidence" and that there was no way her vaccines would have caused that reaction. This infuriated me.


6 1/2 Months

As mothers, many times we have to trust our instincts. Sometimes we just KNOW. In this situation, I just KNEW, and it blew me away that the doctor not only didn't draw a connection, but refused to even acknowledge the POSSIBILITY of a connection.

Abby stayed sick for 2 days, but it was when she began to feel better that I immediately knew something was wrong. She wasn't herself. She seemed 'spacey' and had lost some of her vocabulary to name the most obvious changes. I thought she would come out of it, but days passed, then weeks and she stayed in a daze. Eventually she began to learn her words again, and she became better at staying focused on stories, but I felt as though she had been knocked back several developmental months. In a way, I felt I had lost who my baby girl was.


13 Months

I knew her reactions had something to do with vaccines, but I didn't know why. After all, they were harmless, right? About 6 months later, when I was trying to decide whether to take her in for her shots at 18 months, I received my Parenting magazine in the mail. It had a story in it about a mom and her son with Autism. Her son had a similar reaction to Abby's after receiving vaccinations at his 18 month check up. However, he remained in a daze, and just grew worse and worse. The part that really caught my attention was that the doctor claimed it had nothing to do with the vaccinations, but this mom KNEW differently.

I started researching more articles and stories about kids with Autism, and I was amazed at what I found. We are told that studies prove no connection between vaccines and Autism, but the one similarity I found between all the stories was that the changes in the children became apparent within a week or two following the vaccinations, and all the mothers KNEW it was a reaction to the vaccines even though their doctors said it wasn't. If you have ever had an experience with your own 'Mother's Intuition,' you know all those mothers can't be wrong, I don't care what the scientific studies find or the doctors say.

Then I looked for books on Amazon to see what others have found. If you read the reviews, many people provide references to the best books on the subject. That's how I found this book: Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective by Miller (click on the link to find it on Amazon). Neil Miller is a medical researcher who started looking into private vaccine studies when he was deciding whether or not to vaccinate his first child. I like his perspective because he is not anti-medicine or anti-drugs, and he examines each vaccine individually- the severity of the disease it prevents, how it is created, its efficacy and known side effects. Here are a few things I learned:

1. Vaccines aren't tested to determine their safety. We test baby shampoo before it is released on the market, but not vaccines?! Crazy!

2. All the major drug companies have stock holders on both the FDA's and CDC's Board of Advisors, and they frequently use the leverage to their advantage.

3. Vaccines are created in batches of millions of shots (billions of dollars in product). Sometimes certain batches of vaccines are deemed to be 'Hot Lots,' which means that unusually high incidents of 'severe reactions' have been reported (severe reaction= coma and/or death) among the children who have received the vaccination. Keep in mind that a certain number of severe reactions are expected with every batch (What? Expected?!?), but these batches have UNUSUALLY high numbers. When a batch of vaccinations is deemed to be a 'Hot Lot,' the drug company that created it is not required to notify the doctors or pull the vaccinations from the shelves. Not one of the many 'Hot Lots' reported have been pulled from the market, which means the remaining millions of shots are currently being administered to children all over the world. It also means there is no way of knowing if your child has received or will receive one of these shots.

4. Many of the vaccinations we receive are truly unnecessary, as the diseases had become virtually non-existent BEFORE the vaccines were ever created. Other vaccines (like MMR) have been created for diseases that are either easily treatable or virtually harmless and were previously known as common 'childhood' illnesses, like the Chicken Pox.

5. Drug companies themselves have found vaccines to be ineffective before the age of 2. Before the age of 2, the body's immune system is too immature to process the vaccine. That's why they have Boosters, which are also ineffective. It's amazing to read in this book the studies that have been done of outbreaks- almost all of the children who contracted the diseases had been vaccinated for them.

6. ALL of the studies that have been done that show "No connections between vaccines and Autism" were funded by the drug companies themselves. There are many private studies that DO show a connection with Autism, as well as ADHD, Cancer and SIDS.

7. When a child is injected with a vaccine, their body reacts to the 'foreign agent' in a similar way to any disease: their immune system attacks and causes a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. as their body tries to purge. Some reactions are more severe than others, and that depends on each child's genetics. One commonly reported reaction to vaccines is that the brain swells and the mylenation around the brain stem deteriorates. This is the reaction that is believed to cause changes in the brain and can lead to Autism, ADHD, and more. Swelling can occur at all different levels of severity: mild (like Abby's) up to severe. In the more severe reactions, brain swelling can cause coma and death within a few hours. How do you know how your child's body will react? Every child is different, and you don't know until it's too late.

8. I was astonished to read in this book how little we actually know about the immune system and how it functions. We are learning that the immune response begins the moment bacteria or viruses enter the body, and by the time they get to the blood stream the immune response is in it's final stages. With this knowledge, it's no wonder that people continually contract diseases they had previously been vaccinated for: by injecting dead viruses into the blood, there is no way the body can generate an effective immune response because it hasn't gone through all the steps. It's even less likely that the body will be able to fight off the disease in the future.

And my favorite...The Flu Vaccine.
9. I have to quote from Miller's book, because he explains it better than I ever could: "To understand why flu vaccines are so problematic, it is important to know how authorities try to control this unpredictable virus. Production of each new flu vaccine, to be distributed in fall, usually begins in January. Therefore, officials must guess one year in advance which mutated strains of the flu virus will circulate throughout society. If they guess right, the vaccine is thought to be about 35% effective at temporarily preventing that year's flu in the elderly. If they guess wrong, as often occurs, or the circulating strains mutate again between January and the end of the year, which is likely, the vaccine may be worthless.

For example, in 1994 flu "experts" predicted that the Shangdong, Texan, and Panama strains would be prevalent that year, thus millions of people received flu shots containing these strains. However, when winter arrived the Johannesburg and Beijing strains were circulating. In 1995, health officials modified their predictions and created a flu vaccine that contained the Texas, Johannesburg, and Beijing strains. Again, millions of people were vaccinated. However, when winter arrived, the Wuhan strain predominated. During the 1997-1998 flu season, officials once more had to admit that "the flu shot did not make a dent in flu cases because the strains included in the vaccine did not match the strains that actually circulated that year." The vaccine was 0% effective." (p. 85)
Generally, authorities know several months in advance that their vaccine won't be effective, but they frighten the public by predicting a deadly flu season to use up their costly vaccine. Another quote from Miller: "Even when there is a good match between the viral strains in a flu vaccine and that year's circulating flu virus, immunity from the shot is short-lived because antibody levels begin to decline within months, and are often low one year after vaccination. Permanent immunity to a particular strain of flu is only possible by contracting the disease naturally..."For example, in one influenza outbreak in a Minnesota nursing home, 95 % of the residents, and 72% of the staff members with direct patient contact had been vaccinated 4-8 weeks prior to the outbreak. Authorities were baffled when they learned that the viral strain isolated from the outbreaks was 'antigenically identical' to the one contained in the vaccine. In other words, the vaccine was a 'perfect' match for that year's circulating flu virus, yet it was a complete failure. Authors of the study concluded that, "despite widespread vaccination... influenza outbreaks continue to occur...""


13 Months

So basically, what I have learned from this book and others is that vaccines are not only harmful, they are ineffective in preventing the diseases we use them to prevent. There is so much information out there on this topic, and so many parents with stories like ours, and worse. If you are trying to decide whether to vaccinate your child, I recommend reading as much as you can on the subject before making that first appointment. Also, if you are like me and the information came too late, you can always look into Chelation. Chelation Therapy is the administration of chelating agenst to remove heavy metals from the body. For the most common forms of heavy metal intoxication- those involving lead, arsenic, or mercury." (From Wikipedia) It is theorized that some children's bodies have a more difficult time detoxifying themselves, and it is the buildup of these toxic metals that causes the brain to react differently than normal: ie Autism. Chelation has helped tremendously in many Autism cases and some have found that when combined with the right diet, Autism can actually be cured.

Today, Abby is doing well. She is still incredibly intelligent, does well in school and is just about perfect in every way. I still notice that she has difficulty focusing at times, but all in all, we are incredibly blessed that she has healed. Would she have been smarter had she not received the vaccines that caused her reaction? That question keeps me up at night, and I guess I will never know the answer.




P.S. If you are curious about the links that have been found between vaccines and cancer, I recommend you visit www.OurAlexander.org and read their Letter to Congress in the upper corner of the page. The two parents/medical professionals have found an amazing link between the Polio vaccine and brain cancer.

A friend just responded to this post on Facebook with a book recommendation: Dr. Robert Sears The Vaccine Book. Click on the title for a link to the book on Amazon. This was a book that I have had my eye on for quite some time, but have never had the chance to read. Thanks, Leeanna, for the recommendation!

Another great book that provides insight into how the Immune System works is The Sanctity of Human Blood : Vaccination is Not Immunization by Tim O'Shea. My friend Tara, who is incredibly versed in Homeopathic medicine, got me into this one, and it is an eye-opening read."

Thanks for sharing, Krista. Krista is working hard to help her daughter who has overcome so much but is still facing heavy metal issues and gut problems. She is a mother warrior.

And, if that isn't enough, you can check out Terri's post on the MMR controversy here.

Then, develop your own opinions. Until the vaccine companies start vaccinating responsibly, we are out. If you do vaccine, pick and choose the ones that are most important. Never, ever give them to even a slightly ill child or one who has been on antibiotics at all in the past few months and never give Tylenol with them. And read about each vaccine first, do we seriously need a STD shot given to our little children? Seriously. If your 10 year old gets an STD, you have a lot more to worry about than the disease itself.

There you go.

Yeast orders...

Enough posts about the yeast already but I had lots of emails. I make orders for supplements, oils and yeast cleanse products on Fridays as orders permit. If you would like a product, please let me know by then so I can get you in for that order. Many of you have ordered the yeast cleanse products but I want to strongly advise taking a probiotic with it. The reason is that once you kill off the yeast, the area where the yeast was is now an open playing field. You want to fill in that good area with the good bacteria, hence the probiotic! I recommend the Saccharomyces Boulardii as a specific probiotic for yeast. For strong cases of yeast, I would also recommend a second probiotic depending on your situation.

Thanks!!

New post tomorrow on vaccines by request. Always controversial....vaccine Nazi's need not tune in.

Yeast cleanse shipments.

The yeast cleanse products are on their way to me and will be here by the end of the week if all goes well. However, the kids yeast drops are on backorder as their products are flying off the shelves. If you had an out of state order , you will get yours with your other products but unfortunately, all else will have to wait until the end of April. It takes 2 weeks to make more of the drops. So sorry. You can start on yourselves then move to the kids. I will keep you informed.

We need women to be women.

This last weekend, as a member of the LDS faith, we were privileged to hear from our church leaders in a televised conference around the world. It is my favorite time of year as we are inspired and taught. This session was very particularly directed towards parents. (you can listen to talks here.) I loved them all and was inspired as I listened to be better as a parent to my sweet children.

There was one quote that I loved above all else in a talk given by Julie Beck (read here). It was a quote she gave from Eliza Snow:

“We want to be ladies in very deed, not according to the term of the word as the world judges, but fit companions of the Gods and Holy Ones. In an organized capacity we can assist each other in not only doing good but in refining ourselves, and whether few or many come forward and help to prosecute this great work, they will be those that will fill honorable positions in the Kingdom of God. . . . Women should be women and not babies that need petting and correction all the time. I know we like to be appreciated but if we do not get all the appreciation which we think is our due, what matters? We know the Lord has laid high responsibility upon us, and there is not a wish or desire that the Lord has implanted in our hearts in righteousness but will be realized, and the greatest good we can do to ourselves and each other is to refine and cultivate ourselves in everything that is good and ennobling to qualify us for those responsibilities."

I loved the line , "Women should be women, not babies that need petting and correction."

I am inspired by many emails I get, moms who want to do the very best they can for their families, who are willing to do the work....hard work to heal lives and protect their families from the world. They are a rare breed. They are searching, praying, seeking for answers. They stay up late and wake up early. They are lost in the service of their families and they don't get the recognition they deserve, but the worlds need us to be these kind of women. Women were designed to be tough, resilient, fighters. The world tries to tell us that we deserve this or that....time away, too much pampering, coddling. We all deserve a break now and then and it is necessary to maintain our sanity on occasion. However, our main mission in life as moms should be to protect and be examples to our children. The world needs us. It needs women to be inspired and I know we all have this right if we seek it form the Lord.

I am always thankful for these reminders and as always need to be a little better. If you missed any of the conference, take a moment to read some of the talks.

Let us be women. Let us not take the easy road. This world is crazy. I get so frustrated with the lies and deceit that is out there in the media today. But, there is truth if we seek it by praying and listening. Then, we take that truth and go to work. The kids will grow up and you can have your time for a little more pampering and "self." You only have a few precious years with your children. Make them count.

Glutamine

I have looked into the glutamine as prompted by my great friend , Terri who has great experience with all stomach related issues. Glutamine,while it has great healing abilities can be an issue for some people . As a typical adult or child without any disease issues, glutamine should not pose a problem when taken for the brief 2 week course. At this time, I wouldn't recommend taking the glutamine while pregnant and would not give it to kids under 12, just to be safe. Keep them on the capsules or drops to be safe. Giving some Aloe Vera Juice would be a good alternative.

Just clarifying. Email with any questions.

What do you need?

I have been getting many emails about the difference in the kits and what kids should take, etc. and I have even neglected to give out some info so here is the down low:

Adults and teens are recommended to do the full cleanse for maximum benefits. It is a 14 day treatment with extra pills for maintenance. You can use the pills as long as you need, just taking a break every 3 weeks for a week to allow a rest.

Kids can just do the drops or the pills but if they have abdominal complaints, the cleanse is advocated. If you just want the drops or pills, taking glutamine can help with healing the lining of the stomach and for getting quicker results. I have neglected to tell many of you that bit of info. If you are buying a kit, you will have glutamine with that and could share with the kids. Glutamine may pose a problem for some and if so, using something like slippery elm or Aloe Vera juice may be a good option. In any case, it is advised to do the glutamine for the 2 week cleanse only, not beyond.

Although it is advisable to eat a diet that will promote a die off, ie no sugars, simple carbs, moldy cheeses, etc, the yeast cleanse will still be effective without doing so. Just a longer process. We know teens aren't going to eliminate much so the fiber part of the cleanse will help with absorbing the junk and getting it out.

Babies can take the drops, even as little as a few weeks. You can put some on their tongue then latch them on to wash it down. Very effective for thrush. Moms can also take this while nursing and it will help the baby.

As far as how far the liquid drops will go? Well, each bottle contains about enough for a 14 day treatment. It is advisable to finish the 14 days and longer if needed. Usually a difficult case of eczema will need the full treatment. So, one bottle per child is recommended.

The capsules are vegetarian for those who asked.

Hope that answers some questions.

part 2... yeast and leaky gut.

If you didn't read the prior post, "What everyone should know.", back up and read it first.

I wanted to add a little more. I don't want anyone to think that you can go from a horribly unhealthy state to a picture of health by taking a pill. Life isn't that easy. Some of you may have mild issues and taking the pill without changing your eating may be all you need to get the job done. The herbs alone are very effective. They kill the yeast and simply by doing that, many issues will be resolved. However, if you are living with multiple issues and have been suffering with symptoms for years, the yeast treatments are your first step, the very important step but definitely not the last.

What happens is that yeast can cause "leaky gut." It makes the gut permeable which allows food to actually be absorbed into the bloodstream instead of processed by the stomach. The stomach is a filter and when this is bypassed, toxins escape. When you let the situation go long enough and the yeast has caused the leaky gut, healing may take a while. You will have to change the way you eat. It will be difficult but you can heal the stomach. You can change the way foods affect you. Killing the yeast will make you feel better , no doubt. However, with systemic yeast issues that have been left untreated, total recovery will take more effort. As with all things in life.

Virtually all autoimmune diseases out there have "leaky gut" in common. The stomach is the gateway. You must stop the cycle.

If you think you are in this category what should you do? Start a yeast cleanse right away with a few different probiotics. Stay off sugar, processed foods, fruits, dairy and anything else that causes your stomach woes while treating. If you are gluten/dairy intolerant, don't eat those. If you eat what causes your inflammation, it will never become uninflamed, never. Start with a goal of a month. Notice how you feel. If you don't feel better, keep going. It may take months, it make take a year or two. You will feel relief right away just by removing the offending foods and killing the yeast. Recovery depends on how long you have had the problems. I highly recommend further reading on yeast connections so you can understand more fully what yeast is doing to your body.

Hopefully most of us just have minor issues but for some they are not so lucky. So may kids are plagued by these problems these days. If your child has chronic stomach issues and bowl problems, please pay attention. If left untreated, you may be in for a life time of issues; big issues like Chron's and Colitis to name a few. They are debilitating. You can stop it in its tracks. At the first sign of something wrong in your little ones, listen. If they don't seem right or get sick easily and fall behind in areas for their age,listen. If you notice a spaciness or loss of skills, pay attention.

If I only knew what I knew now. I wonder what I could have prevented for my Tate. I wonder how different his life would have been. All the signs were there ,I just didn't know what I was looking for then. However, what I know now will prevent so many more diseases that could have come our way. There are little things I have noticed that could turn into big things. I am amazed at what killing the yeast is doing for us. Cleaning house.

Don't ignore the signs. Do the work. Take the first step. It is never easy. You can feel better. You can heal your child. You can stop disease.
