I meant to post an update on my son's NAET treatments before we left for our trip. He's recently treated for : wheat and egg/dairy and egg, and we had planned on treating for wheat, egg, and dairy but he proved strong to the trio and the treatment wasn't required. Before leaving he treated for neurotransmitters. My husband accompanied us that day and as we were getting ready to leave he commented, "What did this kid treat for today? He's going crazy." Apparently that can be one of the side effects of the neurotransmitter treatment.
On a side note, my husband has had a few recent NAET treatments. His lungs have always been an issue, along with his sinuses. He's spent some time treating for sinuses, viruses, bacteria, lungs, pnemonia and combinations of such.

Road Trip
We've taken a little road trip for the holidays, and with the road trip comes all kinds of food challenges--usually. I say usually because I've witnessed my kid eat a variety of foods that were once taboo. We're talking kids meals from Wendy's (burger with bun and fries), more burgers from Cracker Barrel, pizza from Sbarro, ham pannini and Baked Lays at Legoland, and hotel waffles with syrup. There's been no hives, rash, itch, or breathing issues. Defintiely no Benedryl. The only thing that I think I see is a little bit of dark circles under his eyes, but that could very well be from the fast pace we've been keeping. He still takes his daily supplements--viatmin D, krill oil, probiotics, and Juice Plus+ vitamins, and will pick up on the NAET once we get back home.
Oh yeah, and he's had blueberries on a handfull of occassions now without issue! 2012 is going to be a great year!

Blueberries Revisited
Blueberries and my kid go way back. They were the first food with a noticable immediate allergic reaction--vomitting and asthma. Looking back, I still recall not knowing really what was going on as I had no idea that food could cause such a violent reaction. I've talked about our journey with blueberries before here, and the home NAET treatments I've tried that helped but didn't provide 100% relief. Well last Friday he officially treated for blueberries, waited the 25 hours out, and tried to eat them on Sunday. Drum roll please . . . he ate 3 blueberries without any reaction at all!
Not only that, but he's eaten pancakes from restaurants the last 2 weekends in a row, he's had more egg lemon rice soup, and has had his fair share of wheat as of late. All this without any skin reaction or itch. His skin is perfectly clear--no rash or bumps, it's just awesome to see him so happy!

Sinuses, Smoking, and Wheat & Dairy
After holding up just fine from our cat experience, we've proceeded with some other treatments: sinuses, smoking, and a combination of wheat & dairy. If it seems like we're all over the place with these, we are a bit due to our personal schedule and what we have going on later that day.
I didn't realize that one could be treated for 'sinuses' but apparently it's possible, the vial holds diluted energy of inflammed sinus tissue. I've know the smoking allergy has been an issue for a long time seeing how he would break out into hives on the rare occassion he's around smoke. And the wheat and dairy combo was at my request as I'm trying to get to the root of the pizza issue. He treated for that on Monday after a weekend of pizza parties that left the back of his legs behind his knees raw. Come Tuesday his legs were completely clear. Coincidence? Not sure, so we ordered pizza from the same place and he's eaten 4-5 pieces between this Friday and Saturday. At last check he was looking great. We're going to treat for a couple more combos, namely: wheat and egg, dairy and egg, and then wheat, egg, and dairy. That's the issue with NAET-- the treatments work best when they're done in the simpliest form; so jumping to do all 3 together may not work as well which is probably why I'm not getting the results I want when I treat for the actual pizza itself at home.

Cats?
I've been dreaming of the day I could write this post. The day my son was able to play with a cat without any issues. Today was the day! Previously he hasn't been able to even be in a house that had cats without swollen, watery eyes that require Benedryl to bring relief. Last week he treated for animal dander along with a sample of cat hair from my mom's cats (she has 3.) We never visit her house, although she lives a mere 2 miles from us as the cats were too much to handle.
Today we purposly made a visit just to see how he'd do with cats. One cat was very friendly and let my son pet her for a good 20 minutes. The cat was long-haired, and my kid was putting his face in her fluffy tail. I kept watching for reactions, but all the happened was that MY eyes started to itch. He was fine, even after the cat licked him (remember his arm after the dog licked him over the summer, looked like hornets attacked!)
Last Christmas while celebrating Christmas at a relative's house that had a cat, my child so intelligently decided it was a good idea to put his face in the carpeting. After a split second he looked as if he had taken on Rocky Balboa--eyes puffed out and swelled shut with streams of tears rolling down his face from all the eye watering. So as crazy as it sounds, I asked my kid if wanted to try that again today to see if anything were to happen. And he did. And nothing. No sniffle, no itch, no watery or swollen eyes. He's so excited!
Since our last post he's treated for the animal dander, sinuses, pneumococcal bacteria that the vaccine is made for, and wheat/dairy combo. He's still struggling with pizza that's not from WF, as he breaks out on the back of his knees.
