Allergy Free & other Recipes

~RECIPE BOOK~

I will start by letting you all know that I am not a professional chef and all of my recipes come from my experience with cooking. I have been cooking for my family and sometimes catering for the last 20 years. I make up my own recipes at times and follow my natural and cultural upbringing cuisine which is Mexican.

Once I found out my son had PLEVA and his pediatrician or dermatologist gave me no answer to what it was or how to cure him. I found a Holistic Dr. who saved him by giving me a list of supplements he should take and asking us to follow an allergy-free diet. The Holistic Dr. gave me a list of what not to eat. So after spending an entire day preparing for it, we decided to do this as a whole family effort (That way I only cooked one meal each time). I started by emptying my pantry into a box and donating the processed foods (like cookies, cereal, junk food, etc.) to a shelter. Then I made up a menu from the foods we were allowed. I grabbed my shopping list and headed to my local organic and healthy food grocery store. Believe me, it seems so overwhelming at first and it might be, but think of the benefit! You can do this! It will become easier as the days go by.

*TIPS: If you don't have a crock-pot, and a rice cooker- GET ONE OF EACH!! These two kitchen appliances help you so much. You will be using a blender as well.

Here are the recipes for the meals I prepared and I will continue to add more in time. I truly hope this helps all of you out there battling this disease.

Day 21: Success!!!!

I started this blog with the whole purpose of helping others by documenting our battle with PLEVA and hopefully finding a cure for my son. Well, we have cured him completely with the help of a healthy diet and supplements that strengthened his immune system. I ask all of you out there with Mucha-Habberman's disease or PLEVA to try this and hopefully, this also works for you. Keep in mind I am just a concerned mother and I am not a Dr. so you might want to consult with your Dr. and if you can find a Holistic Dr. all the better. Since my last entry on this blog things has changed for the better. My son's PLEVA has been banished. It has been since last Thursday - April 28, that we noticed he had no more new lesions. The last day of our Elimination Diet was Friday - April 29. We started integrating eggs into our diet, so Saturday and Sunday we ate eggs for breakfast and lunch or dinner. Then we monitored for any changes on the third

The Beginning

On March 11, 2011, my son (10 years old) had a punch biopsy on a lesion that he had on his leg. Earlier (in February) this year I had noticed him getting these lesions all over his torso, arms, and upper legs only. He didn't complain much as they didn't itch. I of course panicked and thought they were bed bug bites. I felt so bad and thought that I should have vacuumed his mattress more often. Of course, immediately I thoroughly cleaned his room, mattress, and bed sheets, wrapped his mattress with plastic, and disinfected his whole room. The weird thing is that his sister had no lesions; they share a room and sleep in bunk beds. I still went crazy cleaning every toy and every corner of the whole house. But the lesions kept appearing. So we went from Dr. to Dr. in order to find out what this was. I did my research on these pediatricians and thought they had the experience in order to know what this was. But they were all dumbfounded until finally we got referred t

Still no Pleva, YESS!!

It has been more than a week since my son's PLEVA has been banished and I am happy to report no new lesions!! AWESOME!!
