Our turning point in healing begins with - 360 degrees of homeopathy
We have been at this since 2008, but nothing has been as nearly as successful as homeopathy. Regardless of all the "wows" we had with biomed, these are the most important, starting right here!

GFCF Diet
From the moment I realized we needed this diet long term until our most recent life experiences on a restrictive diet. You can learn how we got started and how we keep it going. Our dietary restrictions have changed over time which you will see in the posts below.

SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder)
This is really where it all started for us. From the SPD diagnosis you will see my research and knowledge expand as I explore they "why" factor. You will also see the trends of elevated yeast and bacteria causing the SPD symptoms to recur.

Phenols

Many kids react to high phenol foods, our older son was no exception at one time.

Enzymes

Every human being who eats primarily cooked foods should take them, but our kids are even more deficient in enzymes requiring supplementation.

Does he really need all of those?

Testing

There are numerous tests that can keep us on the right track, they aren't always necessary, but they offer us a rare and brief glance on the inside. When afforded, various tests point us down a more narrow treatment path, keeping the protocol targeted to the individual circumstances and hopefully resulting in a quicker response. Tests that we chose to do were: OAT (organic acid test), IgG food allergy panel, DDI hair elements test (twice), microbial profile and lastly the DNA microbial profile. Unfortunately, most insurance companies don't cover these tests and they can add up, especially with multiple children, so we only test when we find it absolutely necessary to our treatment direction.

Supplements

Our children with leaky gut don't absorb their nutrients from their food like they should, the overgrown pathogens gobble up minerals and vitamins and their numerous digestion issues prevent foods from fully digesting, so you can imagine supplements are a big part of our days, every day, three to four times a day!

Does he really need all of those?

Toxins

They are all around us. Our children are fragile and need us to take a good look at their surroundings. Minimizing their toxic burden will free up their immune systems so that they can focus more on necessary bodily functions.

Chelation

Chelation is the process of removing metals from the body and brain. As far as I am concerned, there is only ONE safe way to do that. We use Andy Cutler's protocol which is an oral low, frequent dose chelation protocol. It is designed to reduce side effects while safely pulling metals.

Nutraceuticals/Antimicrobials

With our constant struggle to fight pathogens, this is a big topic for any biomedical parent, but it shouldn't end there. I tend to believe more kids are effected with an imbalanced gut flora these days based on the American diet. This can result in Jekyll and Hyde behaviors that the proper nutraceuticals can help address.

BioVeda BAX3000

Read on to learn how we reduced multiple sensitivities with a powerful digital technology that rivals NAET. We didn't even know it was possible to be sensitive to things like newspaper print, fluorescent lights the sun's UV-B and firewood ashes, but my kids were, among dozens and dozens of other things in their everyday environment!

Low Oxalate Diet (LOD)

Something I wish we started LONG ago!! Oxalates are a compound found in plants designed to protect them from pests. For those who don't have a specific good bacteria (Oxalobacter formigenes) gobbling up oxalates, sharp oxalate crystals tend to accumulate in organs, joints and previous injury sites, causing pain and eventually causing the development of kidney stones. A low oxalate diet is the only way to address this. Symptoms of high oxalates mirrors those of yeast and bacteria overgrowth.

Now what? Oxalates!
Oxalate wows now?
