She was born a healthy baby at 8# 11oz. She was jaundiced and would not breastfeed after the 2nd day in the hospital, but other than that, she was perfect.

She was born into a house of chaos. My other two children spent their day screaming, screeching, spinning, throwing themselves off walls, stimming… you get the picture. It was insane. Around the time she was born, we discovered the toxicity problem with our other children and had started pursuing recovery with them.

We expected food allergies and I had put myself on a strict elimination diet before she was even born, although not strict enough. Killing candida while breastfeeding is tough and I only maintained my resolved to breastfeed b/c she was allergic to EVERY formula out there. I had no choice but to knuckle down and eat healthy.

As she grew, we noticed some oddities; she had massive oral aversions (probably why she wouldn’t breastfeed) and her hands were always clenched and turned in. She even crawled with them this way. Because we were starting the recovery process with her siblings, we decided to try some supplements on her to see if they would help. We saw immediate and incredible progress. I have listed below the major difficulties she had and what helped.

Extreme oral aversion; would not eat anything that was not pureed.
Multiple food allergies
Posturing of hands
Feet turned in while walking
Anti-social
Extreme weight loss
Malnourished (malabsorption) in spite of eating 5 large meals every day
Scoliosis
Extreme constipation once she was no longer breastfeeding


***** We started interventions at 10 months (except for dietary intervention from birth)

She has always been casein free. When she started having explosive diarrhea at 6 weeks of age, I cut gluten out of my diet and that stopped. Her eczema disappeared once I removed everything from my diet that would feed yeast.

Posturing and food aversions stopped immediately upon giving her cod liver oil.

After starting chelation and green powder supplement, she started absorbing her food, resulting in weight gain. She also became VERY social! She had always been sociable at home, but was anti-social in public. That changed dramatically.

The greens powder and young coconut kefir caused her to loose the “bloated belly” look. Before these two things, she looked like those starving children you see on TV, with stick figure arms and legs, but huge bloated belly. We were happy to see that gone!

With chiropractic care, her feet turned back to the normal position; although I suspect this is also from chelation as lead is often the cause of hand/foot posturing.


Those are the highlights for her but let me just tell you, I have never had such a wonderfully interactive 2 year old!!!! Neither of my other children were completely present at this age so we have never experienced a child like her. She is incredible!! She is interactive and playful. She is well behaved to the point that people comment on it frequently. Her eye contact is perfect and she is outgoing with others. She interacts with her peers although she has no idea she’s only two. She thinks she’s a big kid like her siblings. LOL Her language skills are great and she is healthy and happy.

She never received any diagnosis; official or not. She WAS headed down the same path as her siblings but b/c we started intervention so soon, she never disappeared into that world. Praise God!! Her food allergies continue to plague her, but with continued chelation and supplementation, I am confident her immune system will heal. She is by far the most normal 2 year old I have ever seen.
