Hi Wyndie,

I'm so sorry to hear Faith is reacting to her last foods.  I hope NAET gives her some relief - long enough to heal her gut a bit and maybe bring in some new foods.  I think it's terrific your practitioner will barter!! The cost (and time commitment) of NAET has always seemed prohibitive on top of the cost of HBOT, ABA, and all our compounded meds and supplements, but I have always wanted to try it.

I wonder if you have ever tried rotating Faith's foods?  It really worked well for Tom, although it's quite hard with such a limited food list.  We didn't rotate with Tom til he was 3, and at that point he didn't have very many foods left. Once we went SCD (which took away his remaining grains - quinoa and buckwheat and milet), he was down to just a few meats and veggies and oils - no fruits (and we were too cautious to try nuts or seeds, or even foods in the families he was already reacting to, like eggplant or green peppers, because he developed new allergies so easily). We were very afraid he'd lose all foods eventually.  So we had 16 months of a very restricted diet where he rotated food sets every 2 days (2 days on and 4 days off each food set), and each food set had only 2 veggies and 1 meat and 1 oil. We had to give him very large quantities of those foods in order to get enough calories in him - he basically ate 7 meals a day, all huge quantities of food. nbsp; After about 8 months we introduced pure juices (Knudsen's Just Juice) of fruits he had never developed allergies to - blueberry, cranberry, pomegranate, and after 12 months we introduced some fruits he'd never had before: papaya and mango, along with their juices.  Still, he'd never outgrown an allergy, and we were really nervous about introducing new foods because we viewed the list of foods he'd never become allergic to as our "reserve" of foods that would have to last a lifetime - assuming that once he became allergic to a food, it was gone for good.

The rotation idea worked though.  He stopped developing new allergies. He didn't lose any more foods once we began to rotate.  And finally, 2 months ago, at age 4.5, we challenged a few old allergens - carrots and cauliflower - he passed!!!  And, we began even trialing some foods that we used to be very cautious about - some seeds and nuts.  So, we are cautiously optimistic that he may be able to outgrow his allergies eventually - at least some of them. He has failed a few challenges too (avocado, strawberry, kiwi, egg), and his gut problems are still quite severe, but I'm starting to have hope that we will be able to continue expanding his food list gradually.  Today I had a moment of Mother's Day enthusiasm and popped a cherry tomato in his mouth and am watching for reactions as I write.
He's still quite toxic and has many health problems (hypothyroid, seizures, hypooxaluria, LNH, gastritis, asthma, etc., etc.), so we have a long road ahea d. But we feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel for food allergies at least. 

Just thought I'd pass this along - in the food-allergy world I have come to believe that the idea of rotating foods doesn't get enough credit, and it's been a real lifesaver for us. I sure hope NAET is for you, and I look forward to hearing how Faith does with it. I bet you'll learn a lot about it, and I look forward to hearing what you learn. 

Best of luck to you and your little girl,

Suzanne

We are going to start NAET with Faith on Monday. She has started
reacting to her last 6 foods and have tried everything and yet she
continues reacting. I know know that often it's only temporary, but
I hope NAET will hold her on course while we figure out how to calm
her immune system down. I know she's mercury toxic, so I hope this
doesn't cause her to pick up new allergies as the energy moves
around!

The best part is, I don't have to pay for it!! The practitioner
loves cultured veggies and doesn't have time to make them. I sell
them all the time, so I told her I'd give them to her if she'd work
on my kids. :) Gotta love trading!!

I'll let you guys know how it goes. I know we haven't been on much
lately and I imagine it's b/c our kids take an inordinate amount of
work, but if this helps, I'll let you know so you can pursue it as
well.

Jenny, I saw you did this on yourself, but did you do it with your
child ren yet? Has anyone done it sucessfully with your children?
