Follow Up Appt.

We had a follow up with Dr. Tarr today to discuss options for pain relief and IBS. Dr. Tarr gave us some research on Peppermint Oil to relieve symptoms as an alternative to more antibiotics. I was so impressed! I bought some from The Natural Way along with a special enzyme formula to help break down carbs, proteins and fats. I am hoping the combination will help Paul be able to tolerate a broader range of food. We also have an appt. to see Dr. Simon Yu next week who is an MD and a homeopathic Dr. which marries the best of both worlds for Paul's situation. We are going to get him tested for a variety of food sensitivities which help relieve some anxiety about what to put in his body. Dr Yu has an awesome and informative website and gives talks once a month of various topics of illness. This Dr. wants to find ultimate causes instead of just treating symptoms. He will also be able to read everything from the medical world that has already been done. We want to give Paul options without being on antibiotics. Paul, Sr. is now okay with trying the Licorice Root for vitality and energy. I am hopeful this will help Paul's weakness and fatigue. Maybe the Peppermint Oil will give his stomach some relief and the enzymes with help with digestion. We are also seeking some counseling, so he can talk to someone about all of the hardship he has endured over the last four months.
