Vega Testing

Just before Christmas I went for the first time to have my allergies/food sensitivities tested at a Wholistic Health Care Center.  Their are several testing methods...I went with Vega testing.  I have only heard positive things about the accuracy and ease of the testing.  I met with Ms. Dana Hook CHC, CHP.  She's great !  She is also the mastermind  over at Healing Bliss Botanicals. Well...I knew going into it that I was missing something and was hoping it wasn't corn or eggs.  The test confirmed what I already knew.....that I shouldn't eat Wheat, Dairy, Raw Citrus, Caffeine, Honey, Peanuts nor Almonds ( with the exception of Cashews).  It also showed that I shouldn't eat sesame & SOY !  I can eat all the eggs & corn my little heart desires.....It was SOY all the time.....

Dana recommended several suppliments in addition to eliminating my toxic foods to help balance out my acidity level, detox my liver & my adrenal glands ( their a bit stressed ! ).  I went into this knowing that I was at the point to embrace the results and recommendations.  So off I went to the Health Food store to pick up some " Brad King Anti Stress", " Milk Thistle" & " Chlorophyll ".  Well, it's been a month and I feel pretty good.  I'm sleeping better, I've dropped some more of that stress weight....back in my old clothes...:))

WOW !!  The good thing is that we can all still eat eggs, goat's milk/products, rice, all veggies and most fruits, tomatoes in moderation, a few of us different nuts, flax & lots of seeds, potatoes, amaranth, most of us corn, arrowroot, vinegars, yeast, herbs, ghee, maple & agave syrup, olive/vegetable/grapeseed oil, chicken, wild meat and any thing from the ocean.

I have to tell you I was initially feeling quite panicked and needed to give myself quite the talking too....:)  The kids are all embracing their results amazingly well at the moment.  Liam is the only one who is having any detox symptoms ( headache, muscle ache, moodiness...)...I'm confident that these will pass soon....
