Yes, that is the takeway for me after listening to a 8-day eSummit called The Gluten Summit put together by Dr Tom O’Bryan and his team. He gathered 29 different speakers, each a leader in his/her own field of specialty (including cardiologists, neurologists, nutritionists) to educate the general public and healthcare practitioners not just about celiac disease […] Read more…

Moving away from the “dr says” mindset
Over the years, I have slowly moved our family away from mainstream health treatments, realising that a lot of times the doctors we see are treating the symptoms and not the root cause. This does not mean we don’t ever see a doctor and we don’t take any medication. We do. Really. Just that we […] Read more…
Why We Say “No” to Steroids
I have blogged about how Steroids just makes eczema worse back in July 2012. But I guess I just need to say yet again why we say “no” to steroids because many people have been totally aghast that I would either : suffer through the itch and rashing or worse, allow my children to do […] Read more…
Humbled…Yet Again
On good days, I think I have it all under control. I just know what to do with regards to school, home management, allergies, etc. You name it and I have an opinion and a right opinion, mind you, about it. And then come days that show me that I don’t have anything under my […] Read more…
Argh – A Rant
You have been warned. I am in a ranting mood, so if you are looking for encouragement, I suggest skipping this post. 🙂 What’s my issue? Besides the dog that won’t quit its barking??? Moms who are unwilling to even try diet modification to see if eating a real, whole food diet can help their child’s […] Read more…
Militant or Enthusiastic?
I was thinking about this recently : being enthusiastic about certain things and choosing to walk against the tide can come across to some people as being militant rather than enthusiastic. The more it is against the norm, the louder (literally and figuratively) we tend to get since no one else is on our side. But this […] Read more…
Yeast as the Culprit
If you have seen A Story in Pictures, I am very sure that you have been waiting anxiously for me to tell you how God healed me 🙂 Before you read this, you ought to read Repenting of Pride and Chided. I strongly believe that if I had not repented of pride, of being judgemental and of […] Read more…
How Should I Answer?
Most people know that my daughter and I have battled the eczema beast the past few years. It has been a tiring battle. And we have not fully defeated it at this point. But everyone can see that great tremendous progress has been made and we are continuing to make. So they come and ask […] Read more…
Miscarriage
In this blog I have written much about pregnancy and labour and all that goes with it. But I have yet to touch on miscarriage. Something that almost never gets talked about. Taboo topic? Is it because we live in an Asian culture where death is taboo to discuss? Or is it because most of […] Read more…
Diet Does Affect Our Well-Being
It often boggles me that people refuse to even consider that diet plays a huge part in our well-being. And when I point out the huge amount of processed foods and additives they are consuming, they often go, “But I can’t go without ……” And so they are willing to live with the various ailments […] Read more…
