THE END.
If only life was that simple, right? We all find ourselves living in a complicated, polluted world. After five years of marriage and living a "normal," consumption based life, we found ourselves enduring allergies of all kinds. I can't recall how many steroids and allergy medications that we were prescribed at the time. It was an absurd number. Here I was in my mid-20s and I was using special prescription shampoos, creams, drops, ointments and oral pills for various inflammation symptoms that I was experiencing at the time. Fed up I decided to start researching possible causes on my own. At the time I didn't anticpate that the symptoms could have been food related but felt empowered to make changes.
We decided to embark on a month long experiment - eating only organic food made at home with minimally processed ingredients. The verdict? At the end of the month, we no longer needed the majority of our prescriptions. My inflamation had decreased all over my body and my husbands allergy symptoms had all but disappeared. We were sold! More research ensued and thus began a decade of changes. That was 2004.
Ten years and three children later here we are. What I thought would be virtually impossible has been a joy to experience. One small change at a time. Everyday I continue to learn as life changes. I look forward to sharing some of my (our) experiments and experiences with you from the past and present. Perhaps I can inspire a small change that improves your quality life. That is my hope.
INCH BY INCH IS A CINCH. MILE BY MILE IS A TRIAL.
