Ojibwa Tea of Life

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

My name is and I am mom to two boys, age 4 years and 18 months.

My 4 year old is autistic. We've been GFCF since August 2000 and have

seen significant improvements with his health and potty training but not

much behavioural change. He does show reactions to phenolic foods,

however, especially bananas and oranges, and we are avoiding soy and

beef since they seem to give him digestive problems (gas, etc.).

I am thinking about trying out this Ojibwa Tea of Life that both Karyn

Serrousi and talk in their books. Currently, he gets cod

liver oil and that's it for supplements. We've tried Epsom salt baths

without success but I may try them again since reading the recent posts

on it. Has anyone out there tried this tea? Was it helpful and how

easy was it to get your kids to drink it? Any and all information on

this welcome!!!

BTW, I am another Canadian. I have been trying to make most of ds's

food from scratch to avoid contamination issues and read ingredients

thoroughly. Some of the products we do use are: All Kinickinik

products that are casein free, El Peto CF products, Bob's Red Mill,

Fleischman's lactose free margarine, Lay's potato chips, and President's

choice canned products we've had good luck with (read labels though). I

live in southwest Saskatchewan and find most of my rice flours, etc. at

either Nutter's or Old Fashion Foods. (BTW, Old Fashion Foods has very

reasonable prices on rice flours, etc.). I haven't had any luck with

finding sulfite free coconut though. Are there any good places to check

out in Regina or Saskatoon that you could share with me?

Looking forward to reading your responses and thanks in advance!!

Hey there -

I always chime in on the Ojibwa tea talk to add my two cents. We

definitely noticed improvement from the tea. We gave it to my son

without telling anybody and got independent reports from grandparents

and therapists about increased eye contact and better focus.

We get the tea into him very easily - it doesn't taste like anything

and we just slip it into his rice milk.

I bought my tea from www.ojibwatea.com and the " Tea Lady " is

a sweetheart. I bought the dry tea since I didn't know how quickly we

would use it and it works out quite well. I just make up a batch to

last about 3 weeks or so and then make fresh when that runs low.

Good luck!
