I want to shout from the rooftops that we may have found a CURE for Blythe’s food allergies.
But I’m afraid to, because what if it doesn’t work? What if it’s just some quack peddling pipe dreams?
But what if it isn’t a hoax? What if it works and my girl can live a normal life? What if we can take her somewhere and not worry that she’ll be exposed to something that will make her miserable for days, or worse, force us to use her EpiPen?
What if, as the doctor promises, she’ll be able to start eating normal foods as soon as 24 hours after each treatment?
I close my eyes and picture what it will be like to watch her face the first time she tries
ice cream!
cake!
french fries!
bread!
scrambled eggs!
chips!
candy!
Or even the simple things, like
noodles with SAUCE!
REAL pizza instead of the stuff I make at home with rice crust and faux cheese
REAL pancakes, not the gluten free stuff that is flat and gooey
Peanut butter!
A peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
GRILLED CHEESE!
corn on the cob!
or the first time we take her to a birthday party and let her
eat what the other kids are eating!
keep what she finds out of the pinata!
choose something off the buffet!
Oh my goodness, just thinking about it is overwhelming.
Yesterday, I attended a class with a local doctor who recently began using a machine called the BAX3000, made by BioAllergenix. It’s a newfangled homeopathic treatment that uses frequencies delivered by laser to retrain the nervous system to stop attacking harmless substances.
It sounds hokey. It sounds too good to be true. It sounds…. worth a try.
As one of the doctor’s first patients, I promised to give our testimonial and spread the good word if this treatment works. In exchange, the doctor is giving us a two-for-one special so that I’ll be treated right along with Blythe. I’m relieved to be receiving treatment as well, so that I will know first hand how it feels, whether my allergy symptoms are abated, and more importantly, whether it’s safe to expose Blythe.
We’ll be undergoing 30 treatments over the next 6 weeks, and I will document them here.
I’m afraid to get my hopes up…. but honestly? Hope feels really freaking good.

I am so excited for you because I know how awful food allergies can be–for parents and kids.
Fingers tightly crossed. 🙂
I keep my hopes up for you, too! I’ve never dealt with food allergies (I kinda wish I had one to chocolate….), but I also never thought about a child not having the foods you mentioned above. Here’s to grilled cheese and sundaes soon!
Wow! Hope it works!
I will be waiting for your results. I’ve got severe allergies as well, and will do anything for relief.

Keeping our fingers crossed for you!
Wow this sounds great! What happens after 30 treatments, do you keep going once a week etc. kinda like allergy shots or are cured? I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ya =)
That is exciting. I hope it helps her and I can’t wait to see a picture of her eating a birthday cake!
I am praying and hoping and wishing with all my might that you have found the cure. EVERYONE needs grilled cheese sandwiches in their life!
