Grains--A toughie

Last week's treatment was salt, and I mentioned how he had some issues during the treatment. Well the very next day he had a terrible reaction to beef. This was un-marinated, grain-fed from Whole Foods beef. This was also the second time since his Iron treatment that he's reacted to beef. Prior to that he's never reacted to beef. I'm wondering if we're getting to a deeper layer of discovery here, or if it's just a new allergen? He did end up clearing salt from last week and was re-checked for Iron, which was still clear so we proceeded this week with Grains--Wheat, Corn, Rye, Rice, Millet. It took 4 treatments in the office this morning to get a clear on Grains, so he definitely has a big issue with them. Afterwards, he was so unusually tired that he actually wanted to take his nap, which has never happened before. The doctor asked if my kid has any issues with grains, and I started to say 'No' because he only eats rice, but DUH he only eats rice because he can't tolerate the others! I'm wondering if 'grain-fed' beef would cause a reaction since he's so sensitive to grains? Sounds far fetched, but I'm sure stranger things have happened.

As for my husband, he cleared eggs and was treated for calcium today. He had told me during his initial appointment that he was tested on something that hurt his arm and elbow so bad, but couldn't recall exactly what it was. Turned out it was calcium. He said it was so weird, but when tested today he had absolutely no strength at all and excruciating pain in his arms against the lightest of touches. Then after the treatment his strength was solid as a rock and no pain. He was told he's very allergic to calcium, especially his lungs which are his weak spot.
