The Plan

Diet
Auto Immune, low histamine paleo diet to heal the gut, reduce histamine, control candida.

Meat - 20% of meal
Vegetables - 80% of meal
Fruit - for snacks only

Meat - limit pork because of histamines, include lots of stock, broth, gelatin and some organs
Vegetables - no potato, capsicum, tomato, eggplant, capsicum (nightshades)
Fruit - no strawberry, kiwi, oranges, mandarins (high histamine)

Typical Menu:
Breakfast - Vege Soup made with meat stock, left over roast chicken or homemade meat patties
Lunch - Left over dinner
Dinner - Meat, Roast vegetable, Hob Vegetable, Raw Salad
Snacks - Fruit, vegetables, dips made from  veges (e.g. guacamole

Skin Care
Bath - rotate apple cider vinegar (anti fungal/antibacterial/antiviral) and Epsom Salts (detox)
         - soap rinse with a tallow bar soap

Cream - tallow balm or essenchi

Surfactant free home - every single item in house must be home made and surfactant free.
                                - the products we use will leave residues so we need to be surfactant free too!
                                - surfactants increase skin permability leading to infections from staph & candida
                                - surfactants increase water loss from skin leading to dryness & itching
                                - surfactants will damage the gut lining also

Supplements
Zinc - at bath time -  to help his skin heal
Probiotic -  am & pm - to help heal his gut, control candida

Look for a fish oil that will be tolerated to help absorb vitamins and minerals from food (as they are fat soluble) and it is anti inflammatory - not a fermented product because of the histamines.

Look for an appropriate Vitamin C to stabilize mast cells.

NO - antihistamines, ibuprofen, antibiotics etc - they will only slow the healing.  We just have to make it through the worst parts with ice packs and distraction and love!

Emotional
* incorporate some stress relieving techniques
* have more fun to alleviate some stress

Before leaving the house for school - reset kinesiology routine
After school - Spend 20 minutes focused one on one playtime together a day
Before bed - Breathing exercises
Weekend - play, play, play - no jobs!!

Journal
Keep a journal to document skin, food and mood.
Help to see improvements when I forget he is actually making progress
If he does decline then I might be able to trace it back to a trigger
It is going to take a long time so it will be good to see the progress that I might not be able to notice if I look at it all day everday

REMEMBER it could be a long journey - months... maybe longer..... but this is not going to hurt him and this approach is best for the whole families health.
