Re: why brave? and thank you!

Hi, !

I really, truly appreciate your words of encouragement....thank you for being so

kind!

Why do you say you wish you had been so brave? How old is Cora now, and what

did you switch to at 13 months.....or did you completely wean and do nothing but

water now?

You are absolutely right when you say it takes longer for these babies -

unfortunately I think, and as mentioned in another post, the one month

for each year of life really doesn't quite fit with the little ones. My theory

is simply that our children are even further down the line in the generations of

nutritional deficiencies and toxic loads, etc, so further physical degeneration

and longer healing times. I know my my mom's case of candida is quite advanced

at her age, and mine at an earlier age has already become quite severe (hence my

children's poor state of health and severe conditions), and so forth it goes -

each consecutive generation will be poorer in health at an earlier age, until

reproduction is probably no longer an option because of the state of

health.....make sense? sorry to blab on about it - just the observations and

theories my head debates as we make this journey....

At any rate, I'd really like to hear what your daughter's symptoms were/are, and

what kinds of food you feed at home. We are really TRULY struggling and having

a very difficult time keeping the faith with such lack of progress....a year of

hard work only to watch them suffer more now is just wearing at us and we are

worn soooo thin these days......any support/recommendations would be ever so

welcome and appreciated!!!!

Sorry this was so long - needing to regain the faith and find the strength to

continue down this very lonesome and difficult path - it's one thing for an

adult to do it for themselves, but attempting to heal severely ill children

while dealing with detox/healing reactions ones self is just no walk in the

park, perhaps you can relate?.....lol.....

TAke care and thank you again for your kind words.....

Hi Jenna,

Cora turns 2 next week! We started her on Bee's diet at 13 months. She had

full body eczema, terrible reflux, poor sleeping, slow to hit milestones, and

some other worrisome spectrum behaviors. We did the goat's milk formula(at 13

months switched to Bee's egg drink) which was already a stretch for my

mainstream SAD way of thinking, so the idea of the broth/liver formula terrified

me. Looking back, it would have been best for her. What a great healing food

you've given your baby- and probably a love of it too which is awesome.

In October Cora developed a rash on her face- I know how it feels to be

questioned constantly about how you're taking care of your child. It did look

horrible, and I felt so bad. I finally pulled all the dairy (butter and ghee)a

couple of weeks ago and it's gone away now along with some terrible two behavior

that seemed to go with it. You might try to use more meat fats, and avoid the

ghee. I didn't think that it could possible make that much difference, but it

did. We cook a lot of our food in lard- I try not to overdo the coconut oil too!

I feel like we should be farther along too... but whenever we're at a low point

I say how grateful I am for the healing and wait... because after a good healing

reaction she always makes great progress.

Please don't be too hard on yourself. It sounds like you are really an amazing

mom. We'll be thinking about you and wishing that eczema away... in VA
