Wow! I am so glad to hear from everyone and to know that I am not alone. I have to apologize for being so slow to respond, this is all very new and exciting. I want to start by saying thank you for all of your encouraging words and sharing your stories. I truly believe all of our experiences can help someone and encourage others to Know The Cause!
My son Max just turned one the 8th of October. What a milestone for us, but along with turning one came CAKE! We had an amazing cake made to match our dinosaur themed party. We had so much fun with family and friends, and Max was so excited! Max was very tired and stayed up as long as he could, but ended up going to bed early that night. The next morning when he woke up you could tell he was not feeling well. His eyes were red and puffy, he was crabby, and still acted sleepy. We noticed early in the day that he was starting to run a fever. So we gave him temped baths and let him rest. This continued on through out the day and we could not figure out what was wrong. We thought maybe it was his teeth? Monday morning Max was still running a fever with no other symptoms. My husband Todd stayed home with him and called me with an update that Max was still running a fever. I could not figure it out. What was causing Max to run a fever? I knew his body was trying to fight something off. So I thought about what could I give him that would help? Then I remembered what Doug has always told me. Olive Leaf kills everything! So I told Todd to put one olive leaf capsule in some juice. He did this early morning and again later in the afternoon. It was amazing; by the end of the day his fever broke! I started to think what was different? What could have happened overnight? Birthday CAKE is what happened! Max had some of his birthday cake, and his body was reacting to what he had eaten. Max is not used to having that much sugar and it literally made him sick. His body was fighting and burning off the myco-toxins from his birthday cake! Following this, Max had a diaper rash. The rash was really bad, and would not go away. We soaked him in warm oatmeal baths, let him run around without a diaper to help dry out the rash, but nothing seemed to help. It finally went away with using Rapha Remedy, which had oil of oregano in it. This made sense since oil of oregano is a natural antifungal. With Max’s body eradicating and flushing out all the bad stuff his diaper provided the perfect environment, a warm and moist place for fungus and yeast to grow. This was the reason it was not going away. It is amazing how one day of fun can affect you. Can you imagine if we did this daily? I can honestly agree with that famous saying “You are what you eat”.
