After getting the allergen results from the doctor last Monday I was in shock for a while. But believe it or not, and it may sound odd or even cliche', but I was also relieved and happy. Relieved because it gave me another possibility as to why Jordan's lead levels can't come down into the reference range. And happy because now I know and there is something else I can do about it which could help the outcome of everything I am trying to do to help my son become as healthy as he can be. For years he's had these allergens stored in his system making it weak and not completely functional to where it should be. And for years I did not know. Even Jordan's doctor said he does not look like a child riddled with allergies. I think the fact that other parts of his system are doing so well with treatment that it masks the not so important parts, almost like the problem isn't there. But thanks to prayer and the word of God, something was set in Dr. K's heart to have it checked and here we are working on the steps to fix this problem.
I now have 2 more supplements that he needs to receive daily. The first being something called Aller-Ease Jr. It is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body that produces the sneezing, itching, watery eyes etc. It is a Chinese Herbal Formula that helps secure the lungs while dispelling the wind. One of the Chinese terms for wind is one of the six external causes for disease. Basically it helps get rid of the foreign entities and protect the lungs from further contact. The next to add will be quercetin. I may have mentioned it before when Jordan would have allergic reactions while in school at the start of spring, and I wanted to give him something that could help the school be less concerned even though they were becoming less and less each year. I decided against it because I wanted to see just how he would react the coming season to see how much better he was doing. Well now I have to give it to him because it will help his respiratory system. When histamines are released it can irritate the respiratory system and quercetin has been said to have an antihistamine effect. I'm excited to get started on these two products, within days of each other, at the end of this week.
Now that the allergens are our main focus, we won't be doing the urine collection, however I will be chelating him every other weekend until our next appointment. That will be sometime in April. I believe because he will have been on the allergen medicines for some time, that we will test again to see where he stands. So we may not even attempt to do the urine collection months after that visit either. If we don't then it will be close to 9 months of him having chelation and hopefully with that AND the therapy for reducing the allergens we should be where we need to be. But if she does want to go through with it then he will have had chelation 6 months straight. Either way I think the outlook is good because normally we just do 2, 3 or 4 rounds and then the collection. From there it is usually a month after the collection that we have our appointment to see her. This way he gets chelation without any time between visits. I like the way the path down this road looks.
This past Sunday the word our pastor preached to us gave us the keys to recovery. God will restore all to us but there are steps that we need to take in order to have what was lost recovered. Pray. Serious prayer and inquiry of God for what He wants you to do. But you have to listen. A lot of times we think God isn't answering us because it isn't what we want to hear when in fact it's because it's something we don't want to do. Purge. Get rid of the people and things that are non beneficial to your cause. Pursue. Go after the truth, not only the things you want. And you are going to have to fight to get what is rightfully yours. Prayer has gotten me to this point in my life and now it's time to purge (get rid of those allergens) and pursue (fight for my son to overcome this). I have the faith God can do it. In 1 Samuel verse 30 it explains how the Amalekites came and invaded and taken things belonging to David. David inquired of the Lord, asking Him what he should do. The Lord told David to pursue for he shall without fail recover all. He went to overtake the Amalekites but with only 400 because 200 of the men that were with him were to weary to cross the Brook Besor. He purged the ones that were of no go use and continued to pursue. And in
1 Samuel 30:18-19 18 "So David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away, and David rescued his two wives. 19 And nothing of theirs was lacking, either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all." That's all that needs to be said.
