I cannot believe that 10 days have passed. So much is happening here. First off, I am doing school work and loving it so much. I am really enjoying following my passion in health. I feel lucky and fortunate but overwhelmed at times too. I am sure anyone would feel that way with school, life, kids, hubby etc.

We are in the thick of supplementing our household with the dr amy yasko protocol which is actually based on bypassing genetic mutations via supplementation also referred to as nutrigenomics. It is crazy. When I am not being a mom, wife or a student, I am researching for hours at night or in the morning. I am waking up each morning at 5 am just to have some time to research about gene mutations. Basically the body is run by a methylation cycle and if that cycle is not working properly then the body starts to have issues like allergies, speech, GI issues, fatigue issues etc. So it is amazing but overwhelming. I am compounding supplements weekly for the kids and putting out supplements for my husband and myself as well. We actually started doing B12 shots to get the cycle going and this morning was Max’s first shot. I have been doing them on and off for years, not even knowing that I needed B12 so desperately but now we are doing them every three days. I actually was changing Max’s diaper and then gave him a shot and told him that a bug bit his butt. I am not sure if I should have lied but I think holding him down and giving him a shot would be worse. I am also detoxing all of our guts and Max’s speech has already increased but I am also watching him detox pretty hard.

Max’s speech is amazing. The speech therapist think he has over 600 words and he is starting to use them in multiple sentences. It is amazing. I remember when he had his first session March 31st and did not even say one word at that time in his life. he has come so far and we are so proud of him. I know changing his diet had so much to do with it as well.

It has been a busy month already. We have had Chanukah, Sam’s b day party, Max’s b day party is tomorrow and well I think I will be happy when it is 2010. I love december because it is full of my kids b days but it is also tiring..I just think holidays are tiring in general.

As for samantha, she is on the protocol but no shots just supplements and she is doing much better with pooping. It is exciting to know that I am helping my kids and giving them a shot at having a better working body in the long run.

Samantha is standing up on her own and she is so proud. She is doing great. She is so funny and such a special little girl. I am sure all parents say that but she is just amazing. Sam is very chatty and loves to sing. She is just so sweet and loves to blow to kisses to pretty much anybody.

I promise to post more not only for the kiddos to read one day but for myself to have a place to let go..happy holidays!
