Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since my last post. Probably like many of you, we have been very busy preparing for Christmas. Personally I am still feeling better most of the time. It gets a little depressing being surrounded by treats this time of year, but I decided to allow myself "one little bite" at various Christmas parties so I don't feel too deprived. I figure a little chocolate is good for the soul. Just don't tell the good dr. ;)
The last time we were at Dr. Asa's, my son Drake entertained everyone in the lobby with his magic tricks. The kid is really quite good! It didn't get him out of Dr. Asa prescribing him some B1 though. Apparently he is low, but he is faithfully taking it even though it tastes bad according to him.
Isabella, my youngest, has been taking Silver every day and we have been putting it on her infected spider bite as well. The swelling has gone down immensely but it is still not gone. We are pretty sure it is a Brown Recluse bite and that she got it jumping in the Fall leaves. Thankfully it is on the mend and does not look like it will scar.
Ashlyn was prescribed a cup of chicken broth a day to help with her potassium and salt levels. Her adrenal gland also needs a little help so she is now on adrenal support as well. I think when some of these Christmas programs are over, her stress level will taper off.
As for me, I saw the nutritionist, Vanessa, and she was very helpful. She gave me some recipes to try, advised me on what type of makeup to wear(everything you put on your skin goes into your bloodstream), and some good websites to go to for more gluten free information. The next time I go in, I am supposed to have a metabolic profile done. Usually this is done when you first begin the program at The Center for Natural Medicine, but somehow I missed it.
Time allowing, I have been looking for some gluten free cookie recipes we could make for the holidays. Even though we are on this food plan, I want to try to make everything as normal as possible for the kids. If any of you would like to share a recipe, please feel free. Thanks!
We will see Dr. Asa at least one more time before Christmas and then I'm not sure when my next visit will be.
Until then, have a safe and happy holiday season. Oh, and Merry Christmas!
Debbie
