Peanuts

Thanks for all the replies. I am glad that I did not have to do the scratching of skin and or taking blood! I would suggest trying this type of alternative medicine first.
Needless to say, I was not sure if Jett was allergic to peanuts because I have just stayed away from them and peanut butter.
We were at a birthday dance, you know us Mexicans, we still party when we are 85! Anyways, I had peanuts on my plate and before I knew it, Jett grabbed one. He had eaten it before I could get it out of his mouth. He started coughing a little, I thought he was getting a little choked up and then he got some red dots around his mouth, and then his eyes were itchy(I could not tell if it was from all of the icing that had transfered from his fingers to his hair). Prior to this, Jett was a dancing maniac. Well, he would not let go of me, so when he told me his tummy hurt, i immediately went home. We got home and I gave him a shot of Benedril and about 5 minutes later he puked.
So, off to Joplin we go again!! I probably will not go till school is out, that is 4 more weeks!! My friend just took her son today, he is 4, and he is allergic to lots of things. Mainly milk, cheese and nuts. Anyways, they had Monica take some air from her house. They told her to vaccum and leave a jar open and then close it and bring it in. Gabe was not allergic to any house particles, but definitley all the other things. He told her that usually if they are allergic to milk, they are allergic to peanuts!! I wish he would have told me that! Watch Austin, Ryann!

Not Enough Time in the World

Jett and I at Shananigans in TX.

Look at this approach. Jett loves bowling.
Jett and dad at their best!

You can't see that well, but Jett is in his wrestling stance. Ready to go!



I feel real bad that I have just abandoned my blogger friends!! Since the last post 2 months ago, a lot has gone on.
The one thing that I would like to blog, is my spring break. Well, I did nothing except for working on projects for my masters, playing with Jett, and softball practice.
Jett had been allergic to milk(dairy products), eggs, and chocolate. The last weekend in February, I was in Salina watching my cousin at State wrestling. I had mentioned to my cousin that I had scheduled an appointment at Children's Mercy to get Jett tested for allergies. One lady budded into our conversation, which was fine, and said that her friend went to this allergy doctor that is a chiropractor and he made some adjustments and she had been fine. So, I ask her if she could give me her number so that I can call this DR and see what this is all about! By that Monday, I had his number. His name is Gary Parker. His practice is in Joplin, MO. I had talked to his secretary, that was not so bright on insurance, was able to tell me the procedure. We get there and there were a couple people ahead of us. My sister and niece went with me, because my sister said it sounds too good to be true. Well, the people that were there in the waiting room were there for adjustments, not allergies, so we could not ask them questions.

We get in. Dr. Parker has hundreds of viles of allergens and he makes sure what Jett is allergic to and then gets those viles. He has me sit on the table and has me hold the vile in my left hand while I am holding out my right hand. Dr. Parker then tries to push my right arm to the floor and he can't. He does this with every vile and I resist. Next he sets Jett on my lap and has Jett hold the viles and has me still put out my right arm. If I resist, Jett is not allergic, if I don't he is allergic. Low and behold, I could not resist the pushing what so ever!!! While Jett was still holding the vile, Dr. Parker took this 25mm vibrating gun and did 3 adjustments to his back. He did this with all three viles.
Under 5 minutes Dr. Parker said that Jett had two problems in the adrenal gland and one in the kidney. It totally made since to me because, you know the tags on Jett's ear, well when he was an infant we had to go get his kidneys scanned twice to make sure nothing was wrong with them. When the ears grow the kidgneys do to, so it totally made sense. My sister was sold then! Dr. Parker said to not feed him those things for 24 hrs. and then after that he can eat away. Christina got in at 2:30 that day. When we got there, the waiting room was full. Yes, allergy people!! So, we talked and one lady had two sheets of things that she was allergic to, just from being tested prior to finding this witch doctor. She was from St. Joe, MO and she said that her friends had no more than 3 allergies and they are doing great now. Dr. only does several at a time, so she has to keep coming back until she is finished. Another man sitting beside us was from California and had read about him in an article and thought he would bring his family to Branson while he came here to try this Dr. He was refusing to get put on shots again. Another lady was from Corpus Christie, TX. Her sister had heard about him through a friend and said she wanted to try it. By this time, Christina is pumped up.
Christina had 3 major things that she was allergic to, one being ragweed. Which is really bad around our area but not til fall. Another big one, was dust mites. Dr. had her lay down and placed the viles on her tummy. Like for trees, she knew that she was allergic to trees, but did not know which ones and Dr. just put the whole draw of different trees on her tummy and eliminated the tree viles. So, she got adjusted and she said right away she could feel a difference when she walked out.
My sister actually slept through the night and was not sniffling at all. She got up the next morning and one of her nostrile was clear and the other a little stuffed, but towards the day, she was great!! The next day, she felt awesome and still does to this day.
Jett, is a cake eating, egg eating fool!! He has not broke out what so ever!! Jett actually had a whole slice of cheese pizza at Chucky Cheeses. I had tried to stay away from that place because of Jett's allergy problem and now, we can go as much as we want!!
My niece and nephew also got adjusted later that week and they are not miserable!!
I give my props to this guy!! He is an old fella and is getting ready to retire soon. I am going in the summer to get me fixed, I believe I am allergic to dust mites and mold. Possibly some smoke.
Dr. says that right away, mother's bring in their newborns and gets them adjusted, I am considering it with my next kid.
Poisen ivy is the only allergen that you have to go every year to get adjusted. He does not have a website, just an email. He does take insurance. There is a first anitial visit fee and then $15 an allergen adjustment. My bill was only $125 for Jett.
I don't have any pics of the adjustments or any of actual photos of Jett eating cheese or cake, but it is for reals!!
