Mid December last year i started a new diet. My health was going downward and hit a very low spot where i had to do something. With a yeast infection, i knew something was out of control so i decided i was going to starve the yeasties and do what ever it takes to do it. now it’s been 8 months and i still feel terribly tired but i have a list of what i consider “health markers” that are starting to improve. issues that were worrying me that has almost completely gone away… i’ve also lost nearly 20 lbs. that’s what i had gained back after losing 3o lbs a few years back after a round of chelation.
i might not heal as fast as i would like but i’ll take any improvement over steady decline 
i just came across some youtubes video a few days ago where a couple was interviewed and the woman saved her husband from Alzheimer! can you believe it? i also saw one or 2 about severely autistic kids that recovered and a few weeks ago, a movie about a kid with epilepsy that also was able to do away with his symptoms (First Do no Harm). they all seem to have something in common, the same type of diet.
there are a few mother on the diet’s group i follow that have autistic kid and they too have seen improvement so as of this Sunday night, i decided it was the time to switch my son over to the diet. i had meant to do that switch since i’ve been on it but figured it would be easier once school is over for the summer. school has been over for a month and a half now and is soon to start again. i guess it’s now or never.
he had 2 tantrum that day and a 3rd one when i told him to go to his room for dragging the cat across the floor by her tail. it was getting close to bedtime so i told him he’d be going to bed without supper. but after some thoughts, i gave him the opportunity to eat IF he took all the vitamin i’d give him first. and he did! he even succeeded in swallowing the tiny fish oil gel cap he wasn’t able to swallow back before. he was very proud of himself and ask to swallow more pills hehe i realized that being able to swallow pills would make the whole diet a lot easier to adhere to. yesterday was his first full day on the diet* and after some shopping yesterday, it’s his firt breakfast with all his supplements this morning. time will tell where it leads us from here. i’m sure there are going to be days where he’s going to miss his old comfort food but i think we’re on the right path. i’m still allowing them a few things that are not on the diet, like nuts because they are still high fat and low carb and will help in making the transition easier.
*my goal is about 80% of the diet now and work on the other 20% over time
i don’t know if 20 days will be enough to make a difference but i hope that over time, school will notice a change . i will have to notify the principal of his diet and give her the food list of what’s allowed and not allowed. last year i provided a list and she was still calling asking if he could have smarties, cake or other treats. it makes me cringe to think people believe it’s ok to give those thing to their kids and even more so when it’s supported by the school staff. they should give good example of healthy choices to promote health in our society. ahhh! i guess i better not get started now. *sigh*
Congrats on the progress!
