We gave up allopathic medicine years ago, but I wish it had been sooner. My 2nd child has an extensive list of food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances. You can read about it here if you're interested.

We're working with a nutritionist and a naturopath to heal her inflamed gut and help her absorb the healthy fats she so badly needs.

We homeschool eclectically, but I find it interesting the idea of letting a toddler make their own food choices. It makes sense that we each know what our bodies need, but in my daughter's case, too much sugar or not enough fats, and she's an emotional mess, tantrums and then striking her siblings.

Then consequently, I restrict how the other 3 children eat because seeing others eat what she can't have is very hard on her.

On one hand, it's made the entire family healthier, because we would probably still be eating organic, but not as clean if it weren't for her condition.

Anyway, always nice to meet a non-vaxxer. I have 1 fully Vaxxed, 1 partially and 2 not at all. The 2 that aren't vaxxed are always the quickest to get through any passing colds or viruses, if they get sick at all. I think our family would make for an interesting study because it's not the fully Vaxxed kid that has the issues, but the partially.

Anyway, great post. Thank you.
