Why do things differently anyway?

One of the reasons I started my Facebook group "Healing Food Allergies... Naturally" a year or so ago, is that I wanted to champion a space where individuals or parents of children with allergies/intolerances/sensitivities could start to move away from a fear based mentality (always on high alert watching and waiting for the bad things to happen) to a proactive space where healing is not only possible but is supported and discussed and hopefully attained. It's not about being complacent about what allergies means because for many it is severe and some things do just come with that, but to me its about refusing to totally accept the reality that many doctors and specialists paint as the only option, and then doing something about it. You know the one I mean. It's the world where the best you can hope for is that the symptoms are managed adequately with something that only comes on a script, and then wait to see if one day they may magically grow out of them. I love the empowerment that comes from taking action and seeing progress. It doesn't mean smooth sailing or no concerns when they are somewhere you are not, and it's not always an upwards trajectory. It doesn't mean you ignore what could happen and there are absolutely no guarantees. Sometimes life and finances etc can get in the way but boy what a different journey it can feel with merely just an adjusted attitude. I was once such a scared and nervous parent, always on the lookout for danger and my life revolved what she could and couldn't eat. Now when I look at my daughter, allergic is really not in the top 50 words that come to mind.

So on that note, I'd love to hear more about you (or your kids if that's why you're here) and what the concept of healing naturally means to you. Why are you here? I would sincerely love to know
