SUGAR, SUGAR, SUGAR

August 13, 2007
Next Treatment: Sugar. As the Doctor tested his allergy again and how far away he needed to stay away from sugar, his body showed through MRT (muscle resistance testing), to be sensitive to sugar up to 57 feet! Or in other words, very allergic. We proceeded with the treatment, went home and followed the rules of no sugar for 25 hours, which included not going outside, because fruits and vegetables were in season and outside in the garden and bagging up all my sugar and placing in the garage. So we had another movie.I cannot specifically remember which treatments he had emotional breakdowns, and irritability with but, those were some things we dealt with during some of them.I believe he actually slept in the late afternoon on this one. Needing extra sleep seemed to be a byproduct of treatments.August 20, 2007 we went in and he cleared his sugar allergy. So I asked the doctor if after his animal fats treatment if she thought he would not be allergic to dairy. She matter of factly stated that he was probably good to have it now that he cleared sugar. In my mind I thought, "For certain, I know he still has not cleared for dairy products. We still need to do animal fats before that could happen." She said "We can check to be sure right now." After slipping specific vials of lactose, milk, and cheese into my hand while he held my wrist, then testing him through me, my arm showed complete strength.I was in shock. I asked, "Are you serious?" I just couldn't comprehend being at the end of our dairy allergy. I left her office in a daze. It was like someone just told me I won the lottery. It took awhile to sink in. And yet, once in our car I started laughing, crying and screaming all at once. Jabren looked at me like I was crazy and I just kept telling him he wasn't allergic anymore.This day finally came, so much sooner than we ever believed - that he could have ice cream, cheese, and yogurt, anything he wanted. Dairy is in nearly everything. We had told him that this day would come, but when we promised him that we ourselves didn't know if that would truly be possible. Because he had gone without it, I decided to put off incorporating it in his diet until we finished the animal fats. After that treatment then we would try it out and see if we noticed a change in reactions.One of my afterthoughts regarding sugar:His second allergy: sugar, surprised me, but a few months after this treatment I thought back to a previous experience we had a year before. Nearly 10 months before this treatment, I finally concluded that Jabren needed to be tested for Diabetes. He had a lot of symptoms that were a sign of it, and the more I read the more I got scared. I needed to know conclusively so I could put the worry aside. The longer diabetes goes undiagnosed the worse the damage. I'm not a worrier, nearly ever, so for me to be this concerned I figured I needed to do something. We went to his pediatrician in October 2006 and she said not to worry. His blood sugar levels were fine. Relieved, I still wondered about his excessive thirst, constant potty breaks, the sometimes smell on his breath of acetone, and shaking, from what I thought was low blood sugar. All of these are symptoms of it.As I write, in June 2008 he rarely, if ever has any of these symptoms anymore.

The craziest thing for me is that you don't ingest anything, but that you just hold a vial of stuff....
