Easter "Eggs!"

Happy Easter. I am so thankful for Easter and the hope that it gives us. If I didn't have the hope of God and the fact that He is the "Great Physician" for my family, I think I would have put my kids in a bubble years ago and fed them rice and water ONLY. God has been so faithful to us on this journey with food allergies and NAET and utlimately I trust Him for healing above anything else.

I updated the pictures on the side of the blog .....my little babies are GROWING so big and so well. Jackson is in the 95% for his weight and he is almost "as tall as Daddy"....(well, not really, but he thinks so!)

I realized today in the season of lots of "eggs"..that Jackson is still not clear for raw eggs. They both do fine with things that have egg baked into them, but we will have to do NAET for egg again with Jackson. The kids were eating some carrots with ranch dressing and Jackson got rashy and a few hives and itchy.....he's had other brands of ranch, but this one had a lot of egg ingredients....Presley did fine which makes me happy since she had RAST tested positive for egg and had a reaction to macaroni salad...so I think her NAET treatment for egg worked the first time. She is a big fan of all ranch dressings in town!

I was also worried and avoiding dyeing Easter eggs and didn't even bring it up to the kids this year....but got my answer when I picked them up from preschool and they both had a basket of dyed eggs that were hard boiled and oh so lovely....they didn't react to that activity (thank goodness) and I'm glad I didn't know about it :) SO, we dyed some more today with my sister and niece (YES, even after he reacted to the dressing today, I was still in the mood for egg dyeing activities). I've learned to worry less and try to pray more and be thankful for the little itchy reactions.....vs. the scary anaphylatic ones.

My health is improving, thank the Lord, so we will continue on the NAET journey later this month.

Thanks for sharing your stories with me, they encourage me so very, very much. God bless you and your families this Easter. There is hope, His name is Jesus.

"Rolling Stones!"

We are still here, I promise!!!!! Mommy has been down and out with a kidney stone that finally made it's exit a few days ago. It's so NICE to feel WELL!!!! I had to cancel our NAET appointments and try to get through each day, so now we will continue on the kids' journeys!

The kiddos are doing okay..there are so many blooommmmiingggg trees, grass, pollen...floating around in the wind....so they are a little itchy and Presley is having a hard time beating a sinus infection...I've been in awe of Jackson's health while a lot of us around him have had the seasonal coughs and sneezes, thank you NAET!

I'll post soon with a NAET update! Happy Spring (ecccchoooo).

Who are YOU?

I've noticed a lot of "traffic" on my blog lately and so I would love to know who all of you are that are reading my blog so faithfully. I hope it's encouraging to you and helpful. I have followers from Moscow to Michigan and that amazes me. So please introduce yourself in the comment section or feel free to send me an email sroth220@sbcglobal.net.

Nice to "meet" you!

Jackson's faith....

Jackson has so much faith in his NAET treatments. We started again today after taking a financial hiatus from NAET since October. He and Presley were so excited to go see "Dr. Kathleen" and remembered everything about our visits from the past. They were very compliant little patients and it always gives me peace knowing how happy they are to be there. I had peace too, being there, as it reminded me of how far we have come. Both of my eczema-prone kids have been eczema FREE since a few months after starting NAET and Jackson has been enjoying his life with dairy products...just recently he started asking for cheese sandwiches everyday in his lunch box.

Although we've come a long way, we still have a "journey" ahead of us. Jackson has been really "reacting" to the change in the seasons...all the crazy rain we got during the end of January and now the sunshine is causing everything to bloom around our house and his school. He has been very itchy and also getting a rash on his chin every time he eats or drinks...kind of strange..it disappears after a few minutes, but it was very concerning to me....

I talked to Dr. Kathleen today and she said the change of the seasons is making his system very sensitive, hence all the minor reactions and itchy eyes, ect. when he's outside. I, being anxious to get this taken care of, put a glass of water in the front and backyard yesterday, and brought it in for her to do a NAET treatment with. After doing the laser and the pressure points, Jackson jumped off the stool, and said, "Well, I'm better now, no more itching!" His confidence is so great and I know that he truly believes in NAET even though he doesn't know what going to Dr. Kathleen is about...today we played outside, went to the park, ate lots of food and he was rashy free.....tonight in the bath he said, "I'm better today, no rash on my chin and no scratchies...better go back to Dr. Kafaleen (how he says it) again!" Presley was treated too for the "front and backyard" so hopefully that will strengthen her defenses as well. Glad to be back doing NAET, better give up some trips to Starbucks to afford it this month, well worth the sacrifice!

Orphan "Annie"

This is a picture of our new puppy, "Annie". I was so nervous bringing another dog into our house. Not nervous for the biting and chewing and making a mess....but for one or both of the kids being allergic to her. They have both tested positive for dogs, and usually are reactive to dogs at other houses we visit, especially Presley. They both do fine with our own two Labs after starting NAET, but have had reactions to other animals numerous times. So, my plan was to do NAET for the new puppy if we needed to and if they were still allergic to her, she had a back-up home. But as you can see from the pictures below, Annie is now part of our family with no reactions. She can kiss them and chew on them (hee, hee) with no problems. I still had Dr. Kathleen do a NAET treatment for what is in our house and outside of our house today and I'm sure that included a little bit of Annie as well.


Welcome home Annie (Presley is so into the movie "Annie" and she named the puppy without a second thought).

We're still here...I promise

Hi blog readers,

Thank you so much for your support and emails....It's been busy lately here at the Roth house and although the cold/flu season has been upon us I must say it has not been upon "us" :) The kids have been super healthy this season and I know it has to do with NAET and their ear tubes and Jack's eviction of his adenoids. They have been growing and are really becoming such little people. I, on the other hand, have been battling health issues (kidney stone, ovarian cysts) and my ongoing IBS/tummy issues...BUT I think I have solved the mystery of "sick mommy"...I stopped eating gluten and I feel 90% better. I think I need NAET too, I am realizing how much food is affecting me. My mom stopped eating gluten as well and her arthritis that has been making her suffer for over a year is almost gone! AMAZING! I say if you are having any inflammation problems with your tummy or your bones, joints, ect...try eating gluten free! Maybe I should start a new blog about my "journey"...nope, don't have time for that! I am going to start the kids back on NAET soon...it's been tough financially, but I know I need to keep going and especially help Presley be protected against more foods because she is my eater!!! Jackson is branching out and trying new foods, but no fruits or veggies yet! It's amazing how tall that boy is with what he eats..chicken nuggets, graham crackers, quesadillas, PIZZA, chips, crackers, juice and my secret vitamin drops....the boy will not eat a piece of fruit or a vegetable, he says, "No thanks!" or "Umm..not today"....Presley on the other hand always hijacks my food at any opportunity....oh toddlers....Anyway, just wanted to stop in. I am happy hearing from so many of you lately who are on the NAET journey or thinking about it...we have to support each other on this "journey!"..Blessings to you.

Time flies...

...when you are having fun...where in the world did October go?? We were busy getting tubes and losing adenoids and trying to get my health figured out as well...so now we are back on track, trying to help Presley get over a cough she's had for about a month and a half, and getting ready for the holidays....

No flu shot or H1N1 shot as there are none in our city right now....it just might be too late anyway.....??

Going back to the NAET practioner soon (had to take a break to save some money).

Jackson's doing great, feeling well, eating well, eating dairy like a champ (the boy LOVES PIZZA).

Thinking about baby #3....but seriously, Jackson and Presley's allergies really make me worry about bringing another little allergic person into the world.....although with NAET treatments I do have some hope and know that we have something to turn to.

Super excited for the holidays!
