Owen cleared the dust allergen, so we're moving on!
Owen still has many sensory issues, particularly those pertaining to sound. He becomes easily overwhelmed in group settings. Whether this is due to the chaos and confusion that can naturally occur in a group setting , or the acoustics in certain environments, or his general discomfort of having a conversation with one person, much less a group of people, it's something that he has to cope with on a daily basis.
Dr. Boggess suggested that we test some of the allergens dealing with the Nervous System, to see if Owen has any reactions to them, since these could be related to some of the sensory issues he experiences.
We tested the following allergens: cortisal, Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS), adrenal glands, body fluids, lymph glands, Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS), adrenalin and inflamation.
Of these Owen had positive responses to five of them: SNS, adrenal glands, body fluids, lymph glands and inflamation.
The Sympathetic Nervous System is the part of the Autonomic Nevous System that is concerned with preparing the body to react to situations of stress or emergency. Similarly, the adrenal glands are responsible for regulating the stress response with the release of certain hormones.
Owen was treated for SNS and adrenal glands on September 2, 2009. After this treatment, Owen was extremely tired.
Hopefully this a sign of good things to come!

More Environmentals
Owen was treated for dust, smoke and mosquitos on August 12, 2009. I know it sounds like a strange combination, but they were compatible to be treated together.
Now keep in mind you are supposed to avoid the treated allergens for 25 hours. Smoke is not an issue, we are not smokers and we don't plan on having any bonfires in the next day. Mosquitos can be a challenge, but we will just have to limit our outdoor time. Dust on the other hand......how does someone avoid dust? If anyone has an answer to this, please let me know, I would love to be able to avoid dust. Or maybe that's dusting.......actually any cleaning to do with dust would be great!
After asking Dr. Boggess about the avoidance period he said when the allergen is difficult to avoid, it can be just as effective to reinforce the accupressure points as much as possible during that time. So that is what we did.
Owen cleared the smoke and mosquito allergens but unfortunately he did not clear the dust allergen on the first time, so we retreated it.
Guess I won't be able to give him any housecleaning chores just yet!

In the Air We Breathe
It's amazing that in the air we breathe there are so many pollens, toxins, gases and other pollutants that have an adverse effect on so many people.
The environmental allergens that Owen needs to be treated for are pollen & grass on August 4th and dust, smoke & mosquitos on August 12th.
I'm not quite sure how someone can avoid dust for 25 hours, but we'll give it our best shot.

A Brand NEW Kid
I don't think that I have ever seen Owen so happy. His biggest decision these days is what he is going to eat next. It's so good to see him enjoy eating!
He has also been cruising right along with his NAET treatments. Within the past week he has been treated for heavy metals, P-Factor (pheromones) and Radiation (x-rays, cell phones, t.v.'s microwaves, etc.) He successfully cleared all of them on the first treatment.
We will be moving onto some environmental allergens next, but we probably only have a couple of treatments left.

A Sense of Normalcy
HIP, HIP HOORAY!!!
Owen cleared the Gluten and Candidiasis treatment on the first try. Owen has not had grains in his diet for 1.5 years. He seems to be ready. He has been asking for the past month to eat breadsticks and cereal and pretzels and noodles.
I promised Owen that when he was able to eat grains again that he could get a happy meal from McDonald's. I know it's probably not the smartest thing to start with, but I just wanted him to have the feeling of being a "normal" little boy. Everywhere we went, I had to take special food for Owen to eat, so I just wanted to give him a chance to be like everyone else.
We went through the McDonald's drive thru on our way home from Dr. Boggess' office and ordered happy meals for both Owen and Aubrey. The first thing Owen said was "I want some of Aubrey's chicken" He called it that because he knew that prior to today he wasn't allowed to have "Aubrey's chicken". His face lit up when I told him that he could have "Aubrey's chicken"
I have never seen Owen eat so fast in his life. I think he was afraid that I was going to change my mind.
Happiness is..... seeing your child grin from ear to ear because they just ate a McDonald's happy meal.

The BIG One!
Today Owen successfully cleared asbestos and parasites, so we are moving on to a critical treatment, Gluten and Candidiasis.
Grains is the last item remaining to be added back into Owen's diet. If he can successfully pass this treatment, we will be able to do just that. In the Basic 15 allergens, Owen had to be treated 3 times for grains and 2 times for yeast before he he cleared them, so we are a little intimidated by this treatment. We'll just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.
