Our little boy, Jack was born with allergies. At just a few weeks old he was having severe symptoms which I was able to remedy by cutting cow's milk from my diet. Later we found he was very sensitive to wheat and allergic to egg, removing these from my diet eliminated persistent rashes, eczema, and relentless cradle cap. At a year old, he tested positive for milk, egg, green pea, and red grapes. At age two we did further testing and confirmed a severe peanut allergy. Here's what we now know about Jack's allergies:
Allergic to:
IgE - peanut, egg, milk, green pea, red grapes, soy, almond, dog, cat, mold, and dust mite.
IgG - oyster, almond, soy, coconut, filbert, lentil, grean pea, and cucumber.

We're treating Jack for leaky gut through our Naturopathic doctor and have seen tremendous improvement through their guidance in diet and supplementation. We are also working on Jack's immune system through the implementation of sequential homeopathy, a homeopathic method which heals traumas to the body sequentially and balances life energy. We decided to treat Harvey as well and homeopathy quickly cured his eczema!

Food Allergy Facts and Stats 2010
•Food allergy is a growing public health concern in the U.S.
•Though reasons for this are poorly understood, the prevalence of food allergies and associated anaphylaxis appears to be on the rise.
•Peanut allergy doubled in children over a five-year period (1997-2002).
•Research suggests that food-related anaphylaxis might be underdiagnosed.
•An increasing number of school students have diagnosed life-threatening allergies.
•A 2007 study has shown that milk allergy may persist longer in life than previously thought. Of 800 children with milk allergy, only 19% had outgrown their allergy by age 4, and only 79% had outgrown it by age 16.
•More than 12 million Americans have food allergies. That’s one in 25, or 4% of the population.
•The incidence of food allergy is highest in young children – one in 17 among those under age 3.
•About 3 million children in the U.S. have food allergies.
•The CDC reported that food allergies result in over 300,000 amublatory-care visits a year among children.
•Eight foods account for 90% of all food-allergic reactions in the U.S.: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans), wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish.
