Mother Warrior



After reading Jenny McCarthy's book called Mother Warriors, I've realized I'm not going to sit around and wait to see what happens anymore. I've been told my son will probably outgrow it. Just give him Benadryl and even worse, The EPI PEN if you have to. Well, I'm thankful to have those tools in my tool box, but I want to take an active roll in his healing. Not the sit back on egg shells and wait to see what happens method.

Now that I'm awake to this, the first thing I've came across is BioMedical healing. This address' vitamin deficiencies, toxin overload, immune deficiencies and yeast overgrowth. I believe Fisher's immune system and gut are fighting against him. I just started Fisher on a potent, hypoallergenic Multi Vitamin and a Probiotic that I found at Kirkman Labs. I suggest reading their "Beginner's Guide to BioMedical and Dietary Intervention. It's free and it helped me see the big picture. Also, I think everyone can benefit from Probiotics and I'm learning how sick and common yeast overloads are.

Next on the list, is muscle testing. I've recently heard of a couple success stories that have me convinced this is our next step. Basically, It sounds like realignment of the immune system. We see the specialist next month. Of course, this isn't covered by the insurance, but if 12-15 visits later, my son has ANY improvement at all, it will be worth it.

I believe the body can heal itself if given the tools. Here you go body, take what you need and run with it.

I reach out to parents that are on this trip with me.

Warm thoughts and hope today and for our future.

2010 Favorite Things

1. Bottle Couplers- I use these for everything from medicine, body wash and lotions to laundry spot removers. It pays for itself.

2. Turtle Mountains So Delicious Coconut Milk- We starting cooking with coconut milk recently. It's delicious and it is rarely an allergen. It's made cooking so much easier for our family. Sigh of relief. I started using coconut after visiting this blog: ALLERGY FRIENDLY, FAMILY FRIENDLY FOOD

3. Enjoy Life foods- their products are from the most common 8 allergens

4. Martha Stewart Carpet Spot Remover- This stuff is amazing, even on old stains. My 14 month old loves to throw food and this product is saving the carpet from his artistic expression.

5. Evernote- This has changed the way I organize all my papers, websites, cookbooks, EVERYTHING!!!!

New website to check out

Leftover Turkey Casserole (Dairy free)

I combined almost everything we had left over from Thanksgiving dinner, including...
Turkey
Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Corn

in a pan over med heat
adding...
Coconut milk
Soy aminos (I'll probably use coconut aminos next time)
Garlic salt
Celery seed
Onion powder
Sage

After mixing all the ingredients together I poured all of it into a casserole dish, covered it with diaya white and yellow cheese, covered it with tin foil and cooked it at 400 degrees until my husband got home about 30 mins later.

I served it with cranberry sauce. I thought it was really good and everyone else seemed to like it too.
