Liam's Story

     Liam is my precious baby! He will be 2 on January 24th. I refer to him as "my little shepard", as I feel he is the one that led me to a desire for a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. As we witnessed marriages all around us failing, my husband and I decided to celebrate our love my adding another child to our family of four.  I know now that it wasn't my plan...it was God's plan and I praise Him and give Him thanks everyday for this!

     Liam was a very healthy baby until he was about 8 mos old. I find it no coincidence that this was the age when I stopped nursing him. A task I always struggled with, but endured beacause of the health benefits. I have always fed him a healthy, mostly organic diet, but despite my efforts he has been plagued with ear infections. For the next year of his life, until he was about 18 mos old, he was diagnosed with an ear infection at least 6 times. The doctor was always quick to prescribe an antibiotic to "cure" his ailment, but as I reflect I see it was only making the symptoms subside until his next major sickness. The cause of the problem was not being addressed. He was experiencing all types of horrible side effects from these drugs, such as diarrhea, rash, upset stomach, weight loss. The list is endless. Little did I know that these drugs were harming him more than the ear infections. I decided to take him to a chiropractor to address his ear issues and prayed daily for an answer to his health problem. I also switched him to goat's milk which seemed to diminish his mucus problem. When Liam became sick again, I contacted an ENT doctor because I felt the only solution would be for him to undergo surgery and get ear tubes. This decision truely troubled me but I saw no other option. I find it no coincidence that that very same day I received a copy of the Natural Cures book in the mail. I began to read the book and rushed to cancel his appointment. It changed my whole way of thinking.
It explained how Western Medicine doctors are taught (and given incentives) to push drugs on patients when, in fact, there are natural cures for virtually every ailment. A major factor that our immune systems are so suppressed is due to the fact that we bombard our bodies with OTC and prescription drugs as well as comsuming food full of chemicals, pesticides, additives, GMO's, hormones etc. I'm not even addressing the issue of environmental toxins.

     I decided then to look for a Naturopathic doctor for my baby. I opened my Yellow Pages, said a prayer, and searched under Holistic Practitioners. It was there that I found an add for a Health and Wellness center in my area ran by a Naturopathic Doctor. She has changed my life. I walked in to her shop with baby Liam, who at the time had about 103 degree fever and she introduced me to a product called liquid colloidal silver. This is nature's antibiotic! She stood there in her shop and talked to me for over an hour advising me on my family's health concerns. I was not charged a single cent for her time. It was amazing all of the therapies, supplements, and products available for every health issue. She instructed me about the fact that my baby most likely had a candida (yeast) overgrowth due to all of the antibiotics he had been on. To counteract this problem he is taking probiotic supplements as well as immune support and a DHA Omega supplement. The silver worked like a charm. His fever broke within 12 hours and he was completely better in 4 days. This was about 6 mos ago and he has yet to get sick since then. I find this miraculous due to his track record.

   I feel compelled to share this information with you as my quest for optimal health continues. There are alternatives to Western Medicine and the harmful drugs that are prescribed. We need to be very conscious about the foods we are providing our families as well as the health choices we are making for them. Seek and you shall find! Much love, Amy
