Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Oh hello! a new friend suggested this list on another list I bleong to and I am already just in HEAVEN! My name is Heather. I live in Wyoming with my husband, 6 children and several farm animals. We deal on a daily basis with celiac disease, seasonal allergies, and some other mild but irritating issues in the chidren. Our 8 year old was diagnosed at 6 months with eocinophilic gastroeneritis, which we've now discovered was the CD. She was diagnosed at the age of 12 months with asthma-which resolved itself after we took her off gluten and singular! We have removed all chemically treated fods, sodas, kool aid, jellos........anything with preservatives. We've moved to the country and now have our own organic foods(getting there-we've got organic free range chickens and eggs, organic goat's milk and farm raised rabbits for the meat, the garden fizzled when they turned on the irrigation ditch-contaminated anyway with all those lovely chemicals from the run off- we'll try again next year in a different spot and with our well water, NOT the irrigation we are entitled to) I am really loving the organic and herbal life. My family is in SUCH better health than they were before. It's taken about 3 years but we now see very few illnesses, and the seasonal allergies are much better dealt with by embracing the herbal aspect of life. And I love that my children are learning to live this life. They now can tell me that they need a specific tea( they are GREAT at asking for catnip tea when they feel a fever coming on and my 8 year old will ask to give it to her 18 month old brother, telling me that he's teeting). My family used to think I was nuts-but they now call me when they get ill! I just love it. I am so glad I was directed to you. I have tons of questions to ask as I get more time! Thanks for being here to educate!
