Please read this! It would be wonderful if the USA would follow English and abolish this nasty stuff that sadly is in so many things! Read labels..if it says a color, followed with a number…do NOT PURCHASE IT.

We, as consumers can make a difference. If we refuse to purchase this garbage..they will have to stop it. Supply and demand! There are MANY companies out there, that use natural (fruits and veggies) products to color our food!

Jenny McCarthy talks about GFCF, dyes and more on Oprah

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

I was looking at Oprah’s web site and found a Q and A from Jenny. I have to agree with what she said!!!!!!! I have her top 7 tips on how to save your child from autism……( I say NO to ALL dyes…but..yes Red #40 is the worst of the worst!!!!!!

 To see the whole list go here: http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/tows_past_20070918_c1

Jenny McCarthy answers your questions about parenting a child with autism.

Things I didn’t get to on the show that Id like say…

First I am not a doctor nor have I ever played one on TV… This is just what I did for my son and every child is different.

Biomedical Steps I took with Evan…

#1: Food allergy blood test, which is called IGG food allergy test. Many kids come back negative on gluten, including Evan. That’s okay. I still needed to remove gluten from his diet and other foods I found out he was allergic to.

#2 Got a D.A.N doctor. I went to www.autism.com.

#3 GF/CF diet and started supplements from Kirkman laboratories, especially Super Nu-Thera multi-vitamin.

#4 Starting anti-fungal meds to kill Candida/fungus. Meds like Diflucan, Nystatin. Evan started to come out of autism completely after I killed CANDIDA!!!

#5 Besides GF/CF I also started sugar-free and yeast-free diet. No fruit or sugar.

#6 No artificial coloring, like RED dye in anything!!! Caused crazy EVAN!!!!!!

#7 Evan is still on the GFCF and IF I take him off or feed him sugars his candida comes back and so do old autism characteristics.

NOW FROM BARRIE………………….

Not all kids need to be sugar free or fruit free…but MANY do have yeast!  Many use agave nectar as a sugar replacement.

We have to spread the message about how horrific artificial dyes and preservatives are for ALL HUMANS…kids, adults, typical and not!!! We are harming our children, by subjecting them to this lethal garbage!

GFCF….need I say more…this is my song..and I sign it LOUDLY!!! It works. It works and it works.

If ANY doctor says..it does not..they live in a horrible hole and you MUST say GOOD-BYE and find a new doctor. Any doctor that wants to poison your child with meds (yes DRUG THEM) , who has ASD or ADD/ADHD….RUN RUN AND RUN like the wind….there are MANY other options!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Find a doctor who is against drugs and start your research…there are MANY other ways via biomedical interventions to help them in many ways rid their symptoms!!!
 

We finally have rain!

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

Some of you might know the song, “It never rains in Southern California.” Well……unlike the rest of the country….it rarely does rain….but today it is FINALLY FALL. It’s been an Indian Summer lately, with temps in the high 90’s ….how silly is that?!!?

School is in full force and kids have adjusted to the notion that summer, sadly is over! Heavy-duty homework has begun. The good part is they are back with their friends and studies.

Yesterday was my son’s birthday. We had a great day! It was nice to be on a Friday!

My cell phone’s hands-free plug died yesterday. This was the THIRD phone, this brand to do this! I need to get a different brand now. I sure hope they continue to do this for free. For those not-in-the-know….California has a new law, as of July 1st…no talking on the phone, while driving, unless you use a hand-held device. Many still sadly, ignore this and are getting tickets.

The bill went into play before texting was something to do….sadly, texting, while driving is not part of the law. Sadly, we had a terrible train wreck, where 25 people died and 100’s were injured, one who died was a dad of one of my daughter’s school mates. It has devastated our community! The train engineer, who was killed, too, was texting while driving the train and ran a red light, right into an on coming train! There now is a law saying NO TEXTING while drivng a train. so sad that common sense did not play a part here.

Sorry to end on a sad note today.
