I am the mom of surviving quadruplets. My blog covers the birth of my children, their special needs, therapy, homeschooling and what it's like to be the mom to these special kids!
Time for some news bits! The first one has to do with wheat. So many people I know say you should stop eating wheat products. This doesn't even really have to do with gluten issues. It has to do with how humans have genetically modified wheat. Dr. William Davis says modern wheat has become the "perfect chronic poison." That is a BIG statement for a Cardiologist to say! Davis says wheat was genetically modified during the 1960s and 1970s to increase production. The problem with the wheat is not the gluten (unless you are gluten sensitive or have celiac disease) but a new protein called gliadin. For people who are do not have an inflammation problem with gliadin (eg. celiac disease) the glaidin acts as an opiate. It binds to the opiate receptors in the brain causing people to consume roughly 440 more calories a day! By cutting wheat from the diet Dr. Davis says people have dropped large amounts of weight and improved conditions such as leg swelling, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, and depression.

Have you ever wondered just how safe the cleaning products are that you are using in your home? The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has the answer. You can visit their website HERE and see how your cleaning products compare since most cleaning products do not disclose many of their ingredients.

If you have not heard about Yeast Overgrowth and how it can impact behavior I would suggest watching Dr. Kurt Woeller's video. He explains how yeast and bacteria can change a child's behavior and especially how it can impact an autistic child. Great information!!!
Another great video from Dr. Woeller is a discussion about constipation. I have a couple of children who suffer from this and I can only wonder why there was never any mention of the natural products Dr. Woeller mentions in his video versus the pharmaceutical medication I was prescribed for them!
