Well Dr. Boggess is back from his trip to India, so we are moving ahead at full speed.
Before I get into the NAET treatment update, just wanted to give a quick Owen ancedote.
Every morning when Owen wakes up he always asks "who are we going to see today?" On this particular day I told him "no one." He didn't like that answer. so he proceeded to ask "How about Grandma and Grandpa B? "No" I told him. Thinking again, he said "How about Grandma and Grandpa W?" I said "no, not today." He thought he would try one more time. "How about Dr. Boggess?" After chuckling, I said "No, not even Dr. Boggess." I guess it's official, we see Dr. Boggess so often that he is thought of as part of the family.
We treated today for asbestos and parasites. It should be a fairly easy one to clear, especially since parasites is a retreat.
We'll be checked for this one next week, since we are staying out of Ann Arbor for the rest of this week due to the Ann Arbor Art Fair.

Dairy Here We Come!
Owen was successfully cleared for dairy today, so we will start reintroducing this type of food to him.
I know he will be happy to start eating some new things.
We treated for orange and yellow food coloring today and will go back on Wednesday, June 17th, to make sure it cleared.
After that we will be taking a 3 week hiatus from treatments as Dr. Boggess travels to India.
Upon his return, it is our intention to increase the frequency of our treatments to twice per week, so that we can hopefully finish sometime in August.

Reintroduction Going Well
After reintroducing potatoes to Owen's diet, all is well.
There have been no negative reactions other than Owen's realization that just because he can now eat french fries that doesn't mean that that's the only thing he's going to eat.
We treated Owen with the influenza and thymerosal allergens on June 3rd. He cleared these with no problems which was good to hear.
Our plan was to start reintroducing Owen to dairy next. Before we could do this though we needed to make sure his body was ready to handle it.
In the Basic 15, Owen was treated for and cleared the calcium allergen. However, we still needed to test for casein, milk proteins and milk mix allergens before reintroducing dairy back into his diet.
After testing these allergens, Owen had a negative response, so we had to treat these before proceeding.

Absolutely AMAZING!!!!
This NAET process continues to amaze me and so does Owen!
Owen successfully cleared all six vaccine allergens that we treated for last week. HOORAY!
He is making such great strides to being fully recovered. He wants to play with other kids now, his communication skills have improved by leaps and bounds and he is toileting completely on his own, with no prompting from us.
Owen has been bugging us for the past two weeks, to try all kinds of food that are not on his diet.
Dr. Boggess says this a good sign. It means that his gut is healing and therefore he is craving new foods that he previously wasn't allowed to have.
Our original plan for food reintroduction was to wait sixty days from the date Owen successfully completed the Basic 15 allergens (April 15th). However, since Owen's bowels seem to be relatively normal and he's constantly requesting new foods, we have decided to proceed with caution.
Prior to Owen being on a special diet two of his favorite foods were potato chips and french fries. I know, not the healthiest thing in the world but what do you expect from a five year old. Anyways, we decided that potatoes would be a good food to start with.
I gave Owen a couple of french fries to eat. Instead of immediately gobbling them up he looked at me first for approval. He couldn't believe I was telling him that he could eat french fries. Talk about a priceless moment, it was as if I had just given him a million dollars. He was grinning from ear to ear.
He requested a few more, so I said he could have a couple. We were driving in the car at the time and I looked back to see him just holding the french fries in his hand. I asked him why he was just holding them and he replied "I want to take them home to show them to dad". I almost cried! He was so excited to be eating french fries that he wanted to go home and share the moment with his dad. I told him to go ahead and eat them because dad was at work and we could just tell him about it when he got home. So, he ate them.
Of course he asked for more, but I explained to him that this was a special "treat" and he could have some more french fries another time.
For the rest of that day he asked me again, again and again if he could have a "treat"
He is definitely persistent.

3 out of 4, ain't bad...
Last week Owen was treated for insects, bacteria, viruses and parasites. Owen passed all but one of the allergens. Apparently the parasites are leeching on for another round of treatments.
So, they will be retreated at a later date.
We decided to go back to treating allergens from the autism kit.
The vaccine allergens were what we decided to tackle next. We were hopeful that we would be able to treat Owen for multiple vacinations in the same treatment. After testing whether or not Owen's body was up for the challenge, we got the go ahead to proceed.
So he was treated for six, yes SIX vaccination allergens including: DPT, Pertussis, Measles, Tetanus, Rubella - German and Diotheria.
We'll keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.

Environmental Allergens
Owen cleared the Hepatitis B,C & D that we treated him for last week.
We moved on to testing the environmental allergen kit to see which ones Owen has a reaction to.
There were 8 total with a negative response.
The strongest reaction was to Dust, with Grass and Pollen tying for a close second. The remaining allergens are Radiation, Insects, Parasites, Bacteria and Viruses.
We were able to treat him for insects, parasites, bacteria and viruses simultaneously this past treatment.
We should have 3 more environmental allergen treatments and approximately 5 more autism allergen treatments.

Cruising Along
It took Owen three treatments to get through all of the brain related allergens, which isn't bad considering there were 11 of them.
Today we treated for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Hepatitis D.
So far everything seems to be moving along nicely with all of these additional treatments.
If all goes well we should have about 5 more treatments related to the autism allergen kit.
Unfortunately this is a bad time of year for Owen because he has bad seasonal allergies. He wakes up in the morning with his eyes pasted shut. He isn't very fond of me coming at him with a warm washcloth to try to soothe his eyes, but I can see that he is miserable and just want to help him. He does however appreciate the end result.
Anyways, while most kids are out enjoying the nice spring weather, I feel like I need to keep Owen inside because if I don't, he will pay for it later.
Many of you are probably thinking what does this have to do with NAET????
Well next week when we go to see Dr. Boggess we are going to test the allergens in the environmental kit on Owen, so we can see which allergens he is specifically affected by. Then we will put a treatment plan together to rid him of these allergies too.
What a beautiful thing NAET is !!!!
