Influenza

Today he treated for all the influenza strains and recent vaccines.  There had to have been 10 vials in the glass jar that he was treated for.  The hope is that if he were to encounter the flu virus, that his body would fight it off more easily instead of succum to it.  Time will tell.

On another note, he ate the Fruity Bunnies for breakfast for the second day in a row and all is good!  No eczema.

And just like that . . .

And just like that . . .he can eat Annie's Fruity Bunnies cereal without any issue.  He treated for it last Friday after having an immediate reaction--eczema in all the joint creases.  Today he tried it again for the first time since treating, and so far nothing.  It's like magic.

A Pause from Vaccines--Flouride

At NAET today we experienced another first.  We almost didn't get to do a treatment today because my kid's body wasn't willing to proceed with anything virus or vaccine related.  Seems like it needed a rest from these more demanding treatments.  According to the doctor, this is a bit unusal for children but not so uncommon for adults who's bodies need more time to heal.  Fortunately we were able to get in a treatment for Flouride. So that meant distilled water and non-flouride toothpaste, which isn't an issue since he uses Tom's non-flouride toothpaste already.

Life's Good

Life's been good the last couple of weeks.  My son is growing and gaining weight, he's suddenly filling out a bit.  He's still doing NAET twice a week; recently he passed Hep B, HIB, and thimerosal.  He wasn't showing weak to the flu vaccine I received when pregnant in 2005, but I'm going to have him tested for influzenza in general to help strengthen his immune response to the flu.  He did have one reaction to something new since my last update.  It was to a new Annie's cereal-Fruity Bunnies.  It appears it's the 'natural flavoring' that caused the eczema to breakout on his knees and crease of his arm.  One bath and some Cera'Ve took care of that. Considering how he use to be in constant break out mode, this is really good. He treated for the cereal with the 'natural flavoring' vial, and is looking forward to eating his new favorite cereal in a couple of days.

Quick Update

Since treating for polio, the kiddo then treated for the polio injectible vaccine (which he did receive 4 doses of as a infant/toddler) and he held strong to the nasal dosage and didn't require treatment to that.  Friday he treated for HIB (which he was also vaccinated against.)  My arm was so weak to the muscle testing.  Even though we've done this over a hundred times (literally), it still amazes me.  The plan is to keep working on vaccines that he received; so we still have flu, Hep B, pneumococcal vaccine, and DTaP.  I'll be interested to see if we're require to wait on the DTaP given his previous anaphylatic reaction.

He's recovered from his bout of asthma and is doing well once again. He did get some pepperoni pizza from some pizza joint last night and had mild itching this morning but his skin is still looking gorgeous.  Pizza from Whole Foods continues to be fine, so it's definitely an issue with the quality of the ingredients.

Vaccines, finally

We've been waiting a couple of weeks for the okay to treat for vaccines.  The ok comes from the body's response to the muscle testing to say it's ready to accept these treatments.  Yes, I'm aware of how weird that sounds.  In the mean time we've treated for artificial sweetners and digestive enzymes (and he was tested for each individual enzyme, but at this time doesn't require treatment.)  We got the go ahead to treat for vaccines on Friday, and started with Polio.  Our doc said this is a good because it affects the gut--something to do with the way it's transmitted (the fecal-oral route--gross!)

This treatment also timed with my kid coming down with 'sniffles', which I'm sure were triggered by the change of weather we're experiencing.  Out of no where came the ashtma Saturday morning.  What a bummer.  It's been many months since we've seen that, well over a year.  I even had bumped him back up to 2 puffs of Flovent a day about a week ago once the weather changed.  Must not have been soon enough.  Our allergist has me keep a bottle of prednisone on hand in case something like this happens, seeing how we're old hat at this anymore.  I did give a dose, which seems to be doing the trick of getting things moving with a productive cough.  Curious timing though of the asthma and vaccine treatment, although it's probably just a coincidence.
