This is Why

School starts soon.
Annie wrote to me about her son at the beginning of the summer.  She was thinking of taking him out of state to a narcolepsy specialist since he seemed to be worsening.   He is 11 and has braces so I suggested some gentle dental care advice.  (no twirling toothbrushes even if you are 11.)
She had him on a gluten free diet for a few weeks but it wasn't helping.   Had pretty much substituted bread with potatoes, but when she cut both out of his diet...  he suddenly got better.
It's been pretty awesome...
This summer has been great, I don’t know which supplement worked since he is taking so many different things, from common fish oil to no so common Gingko leaves. But the result is amazing. Summer camp runs from 9-4 and after a whole day of camp he can still function well into late in the evening (sometimes with a nap after, sometimes not). He is less moody than most teens. Much more energetic and pleasant than before... In just a few months, he transformed from a chubby boy to a strong and slender young man.
She mentioned earlier that was tennis camp.   He ran around all day.   Seriously.

So good in so many ways...

Keep up the good fight, everyone.
