Enjoying life, and food! That's what my child has been doing these days. We had a family birthday that led to a weekend of food, family, and friends. Friday we had dinner at a Japanese steakhouse, hibatchi style. I was hesistant to bring my son for the fear of an allergic reaction, but when I broke it down he's been eating most everything as of late so we decided to give it a try. He had chicken & vegetables with teriaki sauce, white rice, and some soup. As a precaution, I had his food cooked in back in a separate pan. However during the hibatchi entertainment, the chef proceed to fling fried rice at my kid,which is made with butter/margarine, soy sauce, and egg. Needless to say, he enjoyed the flavorful food immensely! And he even shared in some birthday ice cream--all without one sign of a reaction.
The next night we enjoyed pizza, breaksticks, store bought cake, and vanilla ice cream (made with egg.) What a joy to watch him eat and mingle with his little buddies without being singled out. And the best part is that he is healthy!
Just thought you might be interested in this- or your doctor and chiropractor who has given you such good results with your allergies. Such a shame- we need to stand up for all this, our options are being taken away one by one it seems.

Happy to see your enjoying life and food- and spreading the word!
I had a converstaion with my doctor about this pending legislation in California, as of course it is a concern to me. I do not want options or choices taken away from me, and when Western medicine fails to produce the desired outcome, we have to keep searching. Anyways, from what I was told is that the CA legislature has been inudated with letters from all over the country in opposition of their propsed bill. The founder of NAET apparently had a meeting with the CA Senator who sponsored the bill, and she was told that another practitioner had been claiming to perform NAET with lasers who treated an anaphalytic kid. This pracitioner did not follow NAET protocols (for one, NAET doesn't use lasers), and the child had a serious adverse reaction. The parents happen to be friends of the lawmaker, who took up the issue. Long story short, NAET has long faced the challenge of people falsely associating with it. Dr. Devi has been working on documenting results and conducting scientific studies to back up her work. The sense I got was that this piece of legislation wasn't going to be further pursued for the time being, but we'll have to wait and see.
DeleteThis is so great! YEAY!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to ask you, can you write a list of foods that were OK and 100% not causing skin issues when your son was at his worst?
That would help me so much, Thank you!

That's easy. For 7 months it was basically water, meat, and white rice. We had to take out everything because almost everything was causing a reaction--honey, oats, tomatoes, citrus, peas, chick peas, corn, dairy, soy, wheat, broccoli, celery, nuts, blueberries are the ones that come to mind. During those 7 months we slowly added things back like apples, carrots, and green beans that we were certain he was okay with. He's now eating everyting on the list aside from nuts which we haven't approached with NAET. He also refuses to drink "cow milk" as he calls it, but does eat yogurt daily and has had baked goods with milk.
