Dear Thornygardngrl,
Only in American in 2005 would a 5 year-old child need
a psychiatrist! We have all fallen down the rabbit hole
when toddlers are being sent to shrinks.
First, you need to educate yourself about natural
health and healing. Then you need to educate your son,
your husband, and your in-laws. It's not going to be
easy, but you can do it. Indeed, you have do it.
Lapis gave you some excellent advice, plus some links
that will help you. I'm going to suggest some books
for you to read. And I'm also going to give you some
advice. I hope something I say resonates with you.
1) Take your son off all prescription drugs. And say goodbye to the psychiatrist.
2) Don't let the school authorities vaccinate your son.
Vaccinations are deadly. Tell them you're a Christian
Scientist or a Mormon. Better yet, consider home-schooling your son for the first year. That will
give you time to get up to speed on natural healing.
3) Both you and your son -- not just him -- should
become vegetarians ASAP. No more meat, no more milk
or cheese, no more processed foods, no junk food or
snacks, and no orgies of bread-eating. It will be
difficult at the beginning. But as both you and you
son become healthier -- as you regain your natural taste buds -- the new eating regimen will become
easier and easier.
4) You all need to drink lots of distlled water every
day. No more soda pop. Pure water, and lots of it, will
cure a host of problems. Like most Americans, your
son is almost surely dehydrated.
5) You'll need to do some internal cleanses. CureZone
is an excellent place to learn about colon, liver, and
kidney cleanses. They're not difficult, but they are
necessary.
I have many more suggestions, but let me recommend
some books to you for now.
1) LESSONS FROM THE MIRACLE DOCTORS by Dr. Jon Barron.
This book is less than 300 pages, and is a goldmine of
information that you need to know.
2) HEALING WITH WHOLE FOODS by Paul Pitchford.
I consider this big book a natural health encyclopedia.
Pitchford is a brilliant writer, and this is a brilliant
book. Not a week goes by, that I don't go to it for
specific information.
3) TIMELESS SECRETS OF HEALTH AND REJUVENATION by Andreas
Moritz. Andreas has a forum here on CZ. Read some of his
responses, and then decide whether the book might be for
you. I consider Andreas a master diagnostician, a spiritually enlightened man, and a good friend.
If you're the type that can learn from books, these three
will set you on the Healing Path.
Most of what you have been taught about nutrition from
school, the media, and your peers, is wrong. Dead wrong.
You have only to look around you to know the truth of
that. People of all ages, from toddlers to geriatrics,
have major illnesses and degenerative conditions.
The ONLY way to regain your health and keep it, is to
change your life in significant ways. The good news is
that once you begin following the Healing Path, you
will know, intuitively, that you're doing the right thing.
Trust your deep intutiion about what to do next.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Blessings,
Owen
