A NATURAL WAY TO PREVENT THE SWINE FLU

shelby@glitterfulfeltstories.com (Shelby Barone) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:30:32 PST

(I recently got this information from my father. Whether it is true, I cannot guarantee..but I know that I am willing to do anything that might help keep us healthy!)

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that
visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu. Many of
the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was
very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was
different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in
the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor
couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and placed it
under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the
flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the virus, therefore, keeping
the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ. She said that several
years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many
of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around
in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work..
(And no, she is not in the onion business.)

The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around
your home. If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under
your desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what happens. We did it
last year and we never got the flu.

If this helps you and your loved ones from getting sick, all the better.
If you do get the flu, it just might be a mild case..

Whatever, what have you to lose? Just a few bucks on
onions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only wish that my camera on my cell phone had taken this picture a little more clearly. The child in the back seat of this car was not belted in his car seat! He was jumping all over this car and could not of been more than 2!! You can see him grabbing onto the open window!! (He could of jumped out!) The scary thing was that people were honking at this woman...pointing to her showing her child was not buckled in....and she just laughed and waved!! Shocking!!

Sugar is the Devil ~ Guest Blog Posting From Imagination Soup!

shelby@glitterfulfeltstories.com (Shelby Barone) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:38:27 PDT

Sugar. Is. In. Everything.

I really had no idea.

It’s as addictive as cocaine. Okay, maybe not cocaine, but it’s pretty addictive.

I consider myself to be well informed. I’m gluten-free, I watch out for unsaturated fats, I buy organic. I’m not an idiot. And, until last week, I thought my kids were eating well – all except for vegetables.

My four year old struggles with chronic fatigue, lack of energy and seizures. Sugar happens to be one option I’m exploring to improve her health. When my herbalist told me to take her off sugar, I had no idea the hell it would be. (Hello, cocaine?)

www.rawfoodexplained.com calls the major symptom of Sugar Withdrawal “mood changes.” I like to call it give-me-ear-plugs, my life sucks. For us, the off and on crying bouts and tantrums lasted about 5 days. Now we are back to peacefulness and bliss. Well, you know what I mean.

My Sugar Detox Life Lessons That You MUST Learn, Too

A-ha #1: Maltodextrin and malted barley = SUGAR. (Read the labels, maltodextrin is in EVERYTHING – pasta sauce, breads, crackers, everything!)

A-ha #2: Other more obvious sugars are high fructose corn syrup, fructose, sucrose and honey

A-ha #3 : White sugar has little to no nutrients .

A-ha #3: The only sugar substitutes that don’t mess with your glucose levels are agave, Stevia and Xylitol

A-ha #4: Although, I never feed my kids cookies or candy, most days, they were consuming over 80 grams of sugar and on bad days (French toast + syrup days, 2 juice boxes) it was more like 150 grams

A-ha #5: I was a sugar pimp! Nutritional experts recommend no more than 35 g of sugar per day.

A-ha #6: My life will not be the same

A-ha # 421: If I keep my kid eating too much sugar . . . well, sugar + my kid (might) =

Hyperactivity
Concentration difficulties
Depression in children
Drowsiness and decreased activity
headaches
food allergies
hormonal imbalance
fat storage

Seriously? All that! And I’m complaining about 5 days of sugar detox?

Life is hard. I’m not going to make this sound easy but cutting sugar means better health for her, for me and for you. Think about it, please. I’m begging you. Don’t be a sugar pimp like me!

What Is Eosinophilic Esophagitis?

shelby@glitterfulfeltstories.com (Shelby Barone) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:12:32 PDT

Last night we finally got a diagnosis for my son. Eosinophilic Esophagitis! It was a long journey to get here, but I thought I would share with you how we got here!

It first started when Andrew was only two years old. We went to San Diego for a little family get-away at Sea World and San Diego Zoo. We were having a great time and went to a local Mexican Restaurant for Dinner. Shortly after dinner was served all of a sudden Andrew's lips started to grow. It was so scary and I grabbed him and ran to the front of the restaurant. In a panic I asked the front desk people to call 911, but they sent me to the bar....who told me he had a first aid kit. It was so frustrating because the restaurant was hesitating on whether or not to call 911 for me? By this time he was starting to have labored breathing and the rest of his face started to swell. The man at the bar called 911 finally! By the time the ambulance came he was completely blue and not breathing. They took my little two year old into the ambulance, injected him with Epinephrine and started to give him oxygen. This was one of the scariest day's of my life! I felt so helpless and felt like I could not help my baby. After we went to the ER, they told me that he had an allergic reaction. They guessed that it must of been the beans he was eating on his plate. His face remained swollen and deformed for a couple of days and this was the start of our very long journey!

We were sent by the insurance to an allergist who did skin testing on him and told us to avoid all nuts, beans, peas, and soy. The list was not that bad and very manageable. We did exactly what he said, but it was not long until Andrew had another reaction. This time it was only a couple of months later and it was worse. We were at a picnic and he started to get some hives. My husband sent me into the house to get some Benadryl and as I was in my diaper bag he came running in with him not breathing. This time we had the Epi-pen and was able to give it to him right away. It immediately opened up his airway, but it started to wear off before the ambulance came. Once the ambulance came they gave him more Epinephrine. I will never forget the look on my sister in law as she sat on the couch looking annoyed that Andrew had ruined her party. Not even getting up to help.

Andrew was also suffering from chronic hives since his first attack. Nothing seemed to get the hives to go away.

This sparked more questions that the allergist could not give us any answers too. We then saw two more allergist before paying out of pocket to go to UCLA to find out what is going on in his body. The doctor at UCLA began to do a lot of tests and thought his blood worked looked like he might have a small case of Lupus, but he could not confirm it. There was the correlation between his reactions and long days in the sun, but he was not firm on the Lupus diagnosis. He told us that the doctors were experimenting with the drug combination of Singulair & Zyrtec. We then started him on the medication and noticed an improvement and a decrease in his anaphylaxis reactions.

He continued to have the hives reactions on and off and his allergies began to seem manageable for about two years. It was not until last year that he started to have the anaphylaxis reactions again.

It started slow. He began complaining about his eyes. He would rub them and tell me that they felt like there was poison in them. I took him to the eye doctor about four times before he told me that there is nothing wrong with his eyes. Then he started to have swollen eye reactions (like the picture above). Nothing would bring down the reaction other than steroids, and it would take about 3-4 days for the swelling to come down. My pediatrician had told me about a great allergist named Dennis Yoshii. The insurance first sent me to an allergist in San Clemente who just gave me lots of "huhs" and "hums". The minute they are a "huh & hum" doctor I know that we need to leave. The doctor put in another request to Dr. Yoshii and it was approved! I was so excited about the idea of maybe finding a good local allergist.

At out first appointment with Dr. Yoshii he did a series of skin testing on him. The results were devastating! His allergies had gotten worse - not better with age. He was now allergic to almost everything!! Peanuts, All tree nuts, Soy, Corn & (all corn products), beans, peas, rice, strawberries, carrots, eggs and grass. A week later he did another skin test and the results were different. Nothing seemed conclusive. I started to realize that soy & corn are in almost every product! The products made for people with celiac disease all resort to rice flour which he could not eat either.

The Doctor told me to try eliminating all these foods from his diet for three months. If I notice a difference then continue and if I don't then we will talk about re-introduction. Now, Andrew also suffers from ADHD and had been on medication to treat it. The doctor told me that changing his diet might improve the ADHD symptoms and also advised me to start giving him Fish Oil & Flax Meal.

I then started the hardest journey of my life! I had to cook everything for him from scratch! I would tell my friends about it and they would comment, "well I make my food from scratch." But, I would have to tell them are you able to use beef broth from the store, "yes"....well Andrew cannot. Can you give your child crackers, "yes"....well Andrew cannot. Can you buy bread from the story, "yes"....well Andrew cannot. Can you buy yogurt from the store, "yes"....well Andrew cannot. I found that I could not cook with anything from a can or package at all! Everything has Corn products or Soy Products in it! It was shocking!! It was one of the hardest times of my life. I felt so alone and I spent my entire life in the kitchen cooking. I started tearing up grass in the back yard and began growing my own produce for him too. When he would have a pizza party at school I would make him a pizza at home and bring him in a fresh pizza trying to help him feel less abnormal.

After about two months of making everything homemade I began to notice a difference! His ADHD symptoms started to improve drastically and he began to start feeling better. He was complaining less of headaches and stomach aches, although it was still there. I was so pleased with the results and very grateful to Doctor Yoshii for the advice that he gave me.

Then in July we were getting ready to host a foster child from Taiwan for the summer. Andrew went over to his Grandma's house in the morning while I was getting the house cleaned. He had not eaten breakfast yet. I got a call shortly after he went there from my Mom telling me that he was not feeling well. I told her to bring him home. I thought it was weird because he was feeling alright when he left. I don't know why, but I thought I would wait on the porch for her to come home with him. I will never forget the look on her face as she got out of the car screaming...Andrew was not breathing in the car! I ran into the street, grabbed my blue lifeless boy out of the car and ran him into the house. I grabbed his Epi-pen and injected it right into his thigh and began CPR. As I looked up a couple of my neighbors were in my house in tears. They called 911 and the ambulance came out right away.... got him on oxygen and gave him some more epinephrine.

This raised a lot more questions! We had eliminated everything from his diet that he was allergic too. He had not eaten anything that day, so what caused the anaphylaxis reaction? So we went to see Dr. Yoshii who told us that there must be some trigger factor that we are not finding. So he referred us to the GI clinic at Children's Hospital Orange County.

When I went to see them Andrew told them that he is still in a lot of pain in his stomach. The Doctor wanted to put him on lactulose to soften his stool & periactin (an allergy medication & appetite stimulant). She wanted to try him for one month and see if he improves. After a month we went back to see her and yes, there was an improvement but not enough. She then told me that she wanted to do an endoscopy on him. The thought of it frightened me and relatives were telling me not to go through with it. My husband and I talked to the doctor and decided that it was the best for Andrew.

So they admitted him to Children's Hospital. It is an amazing hospital with therapy dogs, Early Childhood educators and a great staff of nurses and doctors.

Daddy was even able to take the day off of work to be with our little guy!

It was so scary to see him when he came out from the endoscopy. Because of his soy allergy they were forced to use a much stronger anesthia medication and it took him almost 2 hours before he woke up.

This is the picture that the doctor gave us from the scope. He said that it looked like he might have Eosiniphilic Esophagitis by the looks of the picture, but the biopsy would be the final determining factor. If you look at the picture in the top right you can see the groves or valley's along the side of the skin before you enter the hole. Those groves are like "burn" marks in the skin from the allergic reactions. The example of Eosiniphilic Esophagitis that the doctor gave me was, "eating an allergic food to a child with EE is like pouring bleach into their bodies." Their bodies react on the inside much different than it does on the outside ~ so skin testing would never be accurate with a child with EE.

Last night it was a week and a half since the endoscopy and they called with the results. The results were 50 found in the lower esophogus and 40 in the middle of his esophagus. Anything over 20 is a high amount. The immediately put him on priolsec and are going to send him to a EE Clinic where we will get more answers and information on how to help Andrew.

Finally some answers....after a long journey!

My name is Judit and I live in San Diego, CA with my family.I've always liked to discover new fields of creativity. My latest love is glass fusing.

I sell jewelry in my Etsy shop but I've recently started to make home decor pieces too.

Tylenol Voluntary Recall! Important for all Moms!

shelby@glitterfulfeltstories.com (Shelby Barone) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 22:15:06 PDT

You may have heard that McNeil Consumer Healthcare (the makers of TYLENOL®) is voluntarily recalling certain lots of Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products that were manufactured between April, 2008 and June, 2008. All products manufactured met internal specifications. However, the company is implementing this recall because during this period, an unused portion of one inactive ingredient did not meet all quality standards. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it was decided to recall all Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products listed below, which were made during this time.

Parents and caregivers who have questions or concerns should contact their child's health care provider or our consumer call center at 1-800-962-5357 (available Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time). Consumers can find the lot numbers on the bottom of the box containing the liquid product and also on the sticker that surrounds the product bottle. The lot numbers of the affected products are listed below.

These actions do not apply to Children's TYLENOL® Meltaways and Junior Strength TYLENOL® Meltaways. The voluntary recall applies only to select lots of Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products.

HOW MUCH SUGAR IS IN YOUR FOOD?

shelby@glitterfulfeltstories.com (Shelby Barone) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 08:14:39 PDT

Due to my son's ADHD condition, six months ago I found myself wanting to try and heal him naturally through his diet. The result was amazing! He no longer has the same degree of symptoms and can function in a regular school environment without medications. My answer to healing him: making all his food's from scratch....if it comes out of a box or package it can't be healthy for you! Most importantly eliminating as much sugar as possible from his diet! I also learned that the word "organic" does not always mean healthy. I had to become an avid label reader. Is it easy? NO! The results....are completely worth it!

I was recently sent these images from a friend and was impressed by the amount of hidden sugar that is in our foods today!
