Introduction

I'm a mommy to 2 beautiful boys. I wish I could call them healthy, but I can say that we are on a journey to health. My oldest has been through a lot. At 4 months he received his second round of vaccines and for some reason his body did not tolerate them and has yet to recover. He developed eczema within a few days of the shots. The eczema spread and spread until he could not be left with his hands not bound because he would scratch himself bloody. We tried everything the pediatrician suggested including slathering him with vaseline which only made him break out worse. I switched pediatricians who suggested I cut out dairy (he's breast fed) which helped a lot, but we still had many more issues to come.

When my oldest started foods he broke out in hives to everything. We knew about his dairy allergy, but later found that he was allergic to everything. Including flax oil, eggs, all nuts, fish, dust, feathers and more. Most creams made him feel worse especially anything with goats milk or cocoa butter. But there were a few breakthroughs along the way that gave me hope and ultimately we are on a path toward health. I believe that we will overcome all asthma, allergies, colorblindness, tooth decay, mood disturbances, and learning disabilities, although I cannot claim to be there yet. Hopefully by the time I wrap up this blog we will be. 

This is my story of what works and does not and has been leading us down a path toward the beautiful beings that we were meant to be.
