Blended diet

So, the blended diet is amazing but it has it's challenges. Of course, the benefits outweigh the downfalls. It takes a lot of work for me to maintain Simons balanced diet. I have to make sure he gets a variety of vitamins and minerals as well as getting enough calories in a day to gain weight so his doctors in Madison don't try to use his weight loss to force me to use that nasty formula. Simon is having to adjust to digesting all these raw foods which makes his gassy at times and therefor fussy but he is throwing up less and no longer has diarrheal since we started whole foods. If anyone knows of low volume but high calorie foods that I can add it his blend, let me know. 

My faith has been shaken

A month ago, we took Simon to Mexico to see a Doctor specializing in homeopathic and stem cell therapies. It was scary at first to think that we were going to trust a doctor in a foreign country to help our son, especially in Tijuana. The Lord totally provided us with the opportunity, means, and peace about the decision though. So, off we went on this new journey.

What we found out in Mexico was astonishing. Dr. Calzada knew things about Simon that had  never been identified or addressed. One look at Simon's blood showed us that Simon was not breaking down the formula properly, leaving him with plaque build up in his blood along with yeast and other unwanted things. The explanations provided to us made so much sense and the most amazing part is that Dr. Calzada was actually willing to provide us with results, rather than just more bad news.

When we left Mexico, we left with a plan of attack and a guarantee that Simon would walk, talk, and eat like any other child. Nothing that we brought home for Simon has any side effects because it's all natural. He is doing oral stem cells from the umbilical cord of cattle, some homeopathic drops twice a day and we add colostrum to his food to build his immunity.

Since we have returned, Simon's development has exploded. We are also changing his diet. The doctor in Mexico doesn't believe that Simon's formula was helpful to his brain development and overall health and he encouraged us to take the scary plunge and do a blenderized diet. So, we have started that this week. In one day, his energy, and his urine output has increased. His mood is better too. We are only in the beginning stages and hope to have him on all whole foods by next Monday. In order to do this, we need a Vitamix so we are in the process of getting that ordered through a special program for Medically needy children. If we qualify, we will get a blender for FREE but for sure, it will be a reduced rate.

Ok, so that's Simon. Now with Gracie we have found out that the Miralax she was put on 3 years ago by her doctor was not good for her either. It should not be used by anyone under 17 and never longer than 7 days. They have had her on it for 3 years and never told me the risks. I was told it had no side effects and was harmless. I don't consider the slowing of brain development to be no big deal. So, needless to say, I took her off of it and changed her diet as well and she is doing so much better too. She has more energy and is communicating better, which I never thought possible. She just doesn't seem as "foggy" and she is still having bowel movements once a day.

So, yes, I have lost faith in the medical system that is supposed to help and protect us and instead thinks it ok to pump us full of drugs and not give us all the pertinent information. I am no longer willing to take them at their word. I don't care how much schooling they have had. I am skeptical and no longer willing to believe that America has the best healthcare plan for me and my family. I received much better diagnosis and solutions from a tiny doctor's office in Mexico. We received personal, intimate, and Christian medical treatment.

Be careful. Don't assume anything. Look into stuff and see things for what they really are, even your healthcare.
