2nd NAET Treatment

I've gotten a little behind in updating but overall Thomas' has been doing okay.  He still is tired and some days he will take a couple hour nap but his pain overall is less and for that we are super happy!  He had his 2nd appointment with the acupuncturist on Saturday the 3rd.  It went well too.  The grey under his eyes is breaking up which indicates that his adrenals are doing better and he is sleeping deeper.  After muscle testing him with his current adrenal supplement from our naturopath it was determined that it was not a good supplement for Thomas.  Our acupuncturist felt that this may even be contributing to the bit of headache that hasn't gone all the way away yet, so we have stopped that one.  We also switched back to Samento as that tested much better than the Banderol and Cumanda.  The supplement changes did not surprise me because he stagnated and regressed when we switched to these in early September.  He is now back on his mineral supplement again too.

The 2nd NAET treatment included desensitizing a corn mix and sugar corn (high fructose corn syrup).  Thomas still cannot eat any corn or meat from an animal that has eaten corn.  His diet is really limited without the grains and dairy too but we are making due.  He may have to start another supplement in the near future since we are struggling with getting in adequate vegetables.

We ordered a "grounding" throw blanket as it has gotten too chilly to be barefoot most days and Thomas' needs around 30 minutes a day of grounding.  We will be working up to longer periods with the blanket when it comes.

I like how our acupuncturist explains everything to us.  He told us that disease is only 5% of the problem, that a failed immune system is the other 95%.  He's not hung up in diagnosis' but rather getting the immune system back on track so it can fight its' own battles the way God designed our bodies to.  He also described it in relation to mountain climbing.  There is a place in mountain climbing called the snake line, no snakes live above this line.  We want to live above the line/above sickness.  Many things harbor in our bodies but it is what are bodies do with what it there that determines if we are sick or not or how sick etc...  He also said "There should be a beginning to treatment and an end to treatment".  That may not strike you as much but when you have been trying things for over 5 years and seeing various doctors that really give you no hope to an end, then that statement refreshes you! He wants to get Thomas' back to his childhood and we are thankful for his attentiveness to our situation.

We are currently researching (at the recommendation of our acupuncturist) a Harmonic Quad Zapper (Dr. Overman) http://webdeb.com/zapper/hq5.htm

It basically does like it's name sounds and zaps the "bugs" in you.  Treatments are short only 3-30 minutes and we've read a lot of positive reviews on it even as something that works better than the Rife Machine.

On the 2nd, Thomas had a chiropractor appointment and he didn't need any adjustments in the upper back or neck and it had been 3 weeks since we'd gone.  When I told our chiropractor about removing corn from his diet.  He said there are 3 things that cause subluxations; trauma, thoughts/emotions, and toxins. It is likely that the body saw corn as a toxin and thus caused the subluxations which in turn resulted in increased headaches.  It never ceases to amaze me at how connected our body systems are.
The blood moon did not seem to affect him anymore than any other day and he enjoyed his brother's birthday party.  He also really enjoy playing dodge ball at our home school partnership for gym class last week.

I also attended a presentation on a different approach to chiropractic care called QSM3 with Aligned Care Chiropractic www.aligncare.net  The way they treat makes sense and they also do the muscle testing for supplements and nutritional support.  At this point though, we are happy with the progress we are making and plan to stick this course of action out for now.  

Our massage therapist was able to connect me with yet another person in the area who suffers from Lyme.  The women was wonderful to talk with and she owns a Rife machine.  She even generously offered to let us come over and run sessions on Thomas.  While this is not the necessarily the best scenario for using a Rife to treat Lyme as you typically need a regular schedule; it is definitely something to think about.

We are feeling blessed to see his smile more and his activity level increasing!
