Many will tell you that all these things are NORMAL and people may even tell you that, as a parent, you are worrying about your child “too much”, or that they will outgrow these things, or that it is just a phase…or, or, or…
Some others may tell you that your child’s collection of symptoms are being caused by a “mysterious syndrome” or “rare disease” or “disorder”, but when you dissect the list of symptoms the child has and look at them singularly, these symptoms are not RARE, they are COMMON, but they still are not NORMAL.
You are told these things because “SICK” is the
NEW NORMAL, in today’s world.
All these COMMON “childhood” ailments are the BODY’s way of saying something is OUT OF BALANCE, NOT NORMAL, in need of TWEAKING, ADJUSTING, and ATTENTION…
Continue to THINK, Continue to QUESTION, Continue to ASK WHY? and Continue to LOOK FOR ANSWERS and ADVOCATE for your child… because
NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER DO A BETTER JOB OF IT, THAN YOU WILL!

Hi. All through his infancy my son had severe eczema, allergies, and 7 loose stools a day with mucus in his stool. I reported all of these to his doctor, but he kept telling me that it is normal. Well, at age 4, he regressed into autism. Today he is 24 and severely autistic. Now, some autistics and even mother’s of autistics dare to tell me that autism is just a gift. Pretty soon they are going to say that autism is normal too.
You are right on point and I am so thankful to have been marching down this path beside you for so many years. Thank God we knew these repetitive five second visits with the pediatrician, to walk away with yet another antibiotic over and over were not normal. Thank you for showing me how to research smart and fight hard to find answers for my precious blessings. Thank you for always believing and knowing recovery was possible! You have an amazing gift my friend and I’m so proud of you for continually putting yourself out there to help so many! XOXO
