FAST FOOD LINKED TO ASTHMA AND ECZEMA

burger and fries

I admit it.  I love a good grass-fed burger and fries every now and then.  I’ve never said I was perfect.  However, my family and I don’t eat fast food every day.

Instead, we eat out once or twice a week because the insanity of eating only “perfect” food is just too much stress for me.

Call me a hypocrite if you want, but I need to keep my sanity!

You’ve heard it said before that it’s the little things that you do over and over again on a consistent basis are what make the difference, and this applies to your food choices, too.

WHICH PATHOGENS LURK IN YOUR GUT?

CandidaDid you know that gut dysbiosis, which means there are too many pathogens outnumbering probiotic bacteria, is linked to autism, PDD-NOS, ADHD, allergies, asthma, sensory processing disorder, colic, eczema, IBS and autoimmune diseases like lupus, fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis?

If your gut is dysbiotic, you likely have immune dysregulation.

For $99 or less (the more you order, the cheaper it is), you can find out which good guys and bad guys are taking up residence inside of you.

If you’ve ever had any kind of stool analysis done, you’ll know this is a bargain price AND the results are anonymously documented in the Human Microbiome Project.  Read more…

SULFATION: COMMON LINKS AMONG AUTISM, ECZEMA, ALLERGIES AND ASTHMA

The etiology of autism may be similar to that for eczema, asthma and allergic responses.  One of the reasons is sulfation, which affects the function of proteins and peptides, among other things.  Sulfate is produced by oxidation of methionine or cysteine, which are both sulfur-containing amino acids.  Read more…

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF AUTISM, ADHD, ALLERGIES, ASTHMA AND AUTOIMMUNE?

Why is there such an epidemic of autism, ADHD, allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases and more in our children today?

Here’s my interview with Beth Lambert is the author of “A Compromised Generation” and Executive Director and co-founder of Epidemic Answers.

If you haven’t read the book, here’s the chance for you to get an overview of the perfect storm that’s causing the epidemic of childhood illnesses today.

34% of American children have a chronic disease or disorder like autism, ADHD, allergies, asthma, autoimmune disease, SPD, OCD, developmental delays, learning disabilities and more.

When the number of obese children is included, the number rises to 52%.  Why is this the “new normal”?

HOW MY SON’S SENSORY PROCESSING DISORDER LED TO MY SEVERE HEALTH DECLINE

Having a son with a developmental delay was very hard on me.  He didn’t walk until he was 20 months old.  This was extremely hard for me because he didn’t walk until 3 weeks before his little brother was born, and I was having to carry him everywhere.

I suppose the bright side is that he didn’t weigh a whole lot, given that he was also a failure-to-thrive baby.

His sensory processing disorder turned him into a barnacle.  I felt as if he were permanently physically attached to me.  It wasn’t so bad when he was younger, but after his brother was born, it was extremely difficult to deal with two small, crying children at the same time, who both wanted to be picked up and held at the same time.

And then when our nanny left to have her own baby when my older son had just turned 3, his sensory processing and anxiety went full tilt.  He was used to having someone always there immediately to meet his needs; now he had to share me with his baby brother. [Read more…]
