Our Journey of Healing Asthma, Eczema, Allergies with Homeopathy (Part 1)
First, a little disclaimer. Do I really believe homeopathy can cure my son, Tristan’s, life threatening food allergies? No, I do not. Do I even want to attempt that? Probably not, as I don’t want to subject my son to even a little bit of his food allergens at this point. But do I hope…

Read MoreNatural Remedies for Eczema – What Worked For My Son
When my son, Tristan’s, eczema peaked at 3 years old, he was head to toe covered in red, itchy, dry skin that was inflamed and painful looking. I cried on and off throughout each and every day back then out of sheer frustration over not knowing how to help him and with worry about how…
Read MoreOur Picks for Natural Allergy Remedies
Allergy season is upon us. With it comes all the joy we associate with the overload of pollen: runny noses, itchy eyes, congestion, asthma, etc. Thank goodness spring is a prized time of year where I live because otherwise, I’m not sure how we’d tolerate this allergy season. I think most of us are so…
Read MoreALCAT and Food Intolerance Testing
Like with the GAPS diet, I’ve known about food intolerance testing for a long time, but have waited to try everything else before submitting to testing. Why? Because its expensive! Really expensive. And it’s not covered by insurance – at least not in the US or Canada. But over the years we’ve done multiple elimination diets, seen conventional…

Where did the week go?! I just realized that I missed Tuesday’s post! This GAPS diet is really taking over our lives, but still that’s no excuse and even if it was, I think it’s a pretty good one – don’t you? Still, NOT an excuse. Just this week we went for a follow-up appointment…
Read MoreHealing with the GAPS Diet – INTRO (Day 1)
So, I’ve heard about the GAPS diet (Gut & Psychology Syndrome) for several years now. People that have followed it claim they’ve cured many of their and their children’s chronic ailments and diseases, usually of the autoimmune family. Yes, I said CURED. I knew when first hearing about the GAPS diet, that we just weren’t…
Read MoreSaline Nasal Rinse: An Easy Remedy for Night Time Coughing
It’s been over a year now that my son, Tristan’s coughing wakes him up at night. The allergist swears it’s asthma, and while he wheezes on occasion, mostly when he’s sick, I’m not convinced his habitual coughing in bed is his asthma flaring up. It got so bad at one point that anytime he laughed…
