| Food
and mold allergies took a tremendous toll on our family's
health. In January of 2008, through the help of some wonderful
doctors, we had a breakthrough.
Our
11-year old daughter was deteriorating right in front
of us. She had diabetes, asthma, juvenile arthritis,
and hypothyroid. She hurt all the time, couldn't think,
couldn't breathe well, couldn't sleep and wasn't performing
well in school.
During
the Christmas break of 2007, I really began to be alarmed…
she couldn't sit up straight, was always wringing her
hands and had stopped running and playing. She asked
for medicine each day for pain and her pediatric immunologist
indicated that the pain would increase over time…
Meanwhile she was under the care of 9 different doctors
and had been for several years. However, none of the
things we were doing were making her better. She just
kept getting worse.
I
began a frantic search for real answers and was referred
to a physician who takes a holistic approach to medicine.
She performed a series of diagnostic tests that uncovered,
among other things, severe food and mold allergies.
Thus
began our journey on the path of creating meal plans
and recipes designed to heal our daughter.
Today
our daughter is off asthma medication and pain medication.
Her color has returned along with the light in her eyes.
- We
know that this path does not end.
- We
know that our journey will always include close
monitoring of our food choices.
- We
also know that we are not alone, that there
are many families who are faced with illness
as a result of food allergies.
