Reducing Toxins

Yesterday I read an article from a parent of a child with seizures. They put their child on the modified Akins Diet (which is a special seizure diet that sometimes helps to control seizures). They also got rid of all toxins and replaced all products in the home with natural products. The child was seizure free for two years and then was able to go off of all her medications.

This is a story that notes merit - not because this is the cure for all seizures, but because it is definately an indicator that perhaps some seizures are being caused by toxins - food allergies, and toxins in our environment. I pay heed to it for my own health in that, the longer I completely stay away from wheat, which appears to be my worst toxin, the better I feel on a day to day basis. I'm 47 - so this is startling to me, that I haven't realized this until about the last year or two. I also realize not that I can really only tolerate about a half a glass of wine before I just don't even feel myself. I'm not sure why this is - perhaps my tolerance has decreased. I'm considering going off all alchohol for a month - but have to plan that out and stick to it, as I do go to alot of functions on the weekends with friends and it actually does help me, a very type A personality, to relax.

On to a toxin-free day!!
