But which food is the problem? Is it food, or is it environmental (mould, dust, pollen, linen, detergents, dogs, cats, metals..) Endless list of possibles and probables
.
🌟Allergy vs Intolerance/Sensitivity:
The reason it can be so difficult to figure out the culprit is the difference between an allergy vs an intolerance. An allergy is an IgE mediated response and occurs immediately, within minutes, upon contact with the allergen. An intolerance or sensitivity is an IgG mediated reaction and can occur up to 72 hours (3 days) following exposure to that food or allergen. I can’t remember what I ate yesterday let alone 3 days ago! So it can be very difficult to figure out
.
One way to manage this is to keep a food and symptom diary. Quite frankly, I just don’t have time or patience for this. So, we have done a blood draw to test Matilda for 270 possible foods she may be reacting to. I am praying 🙏 something random will show
.
Yep it was confronting having the blood taken from her tiny little arm. She sat in my lap, I was instructed to pin her down, close in to my chest, with my legs folded over her and arms wrapped around her. I was warned she would scream, pull away, kick. I sat calmly and sang to her as I held her and she DID. NOT. FLINCH. Not a noise, not a whimper, not a movement. What a trooper. I know adults that pass out from blood draws!
.
So, we will send her blood to Sydney tonight and then get results back
.
Just a couple of things to think about;
✨Only avoid these foods if you can absolutely with certainty link them to causing an eczema flare.
🌟Eczema is about how the individual is PROCESSING. How the body is utilising the food, digesting, absorbing, metabolising and excreting the food.
💥It is also how the body is processing their environment, emotions, trauma, hormones.
⚡️Yes genetics plays a role. Genetics loads the gun, but something else pulls the trigger- food, emotion, trauma, environment
☄️And lastly, don’t forget the gut and the microbiome. Generally eczema is associated with leaky gut. Eczema is a Th2 dominant immune response, and gut health impacts it. Best probiotic - Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG 💜

.
And then there is eczema. If there is any condition I didn’t want my children to have, it’s eczema
.
Her eczema started when she was 10 months old, and she is now 19 months. We have managed to keep it fairly controlled- we have her on Vitamin C, zinc, selenium, vitamin D, fish oils, probiotics, Chinese herbs and homeopathics. We have rotated her diet, changed the sheets, mattress and pillows, Natural breathable fabrics etc....Plus, I have 4 other practitioners on this as well as me!
.
It has definitely got worse during the last 3 months, particularly the last two weeks, it has spread down her other arm, to her thighs and legs 😫. Devastating.
.
The complicating factors:
1. Matilda is from a donor egg, and whilst we received detailed medical family history, we don’t know if the egg donor had eczema, and if it is genetic or not
2. Covid-19- I truly believe this has made it worse. None of us can escape the global, collective stress of the past 4 months. We are all feeling it and clinically I have witnessed the impacts with my patients. Besides a complete worsening in mental health, the stress has impacted skin conditions (acne, eczema, psoriasis etc) and menstrual cycles
.
So, we did a blood draw yesterday to check food intolerances and environmental triggers
.
But at the end of the day, it still boils down to how well she is processing her food and dealing with her environment.

ACUPUNCTURE & IVF || Does it help? . Acupuncture a

ACUPUNCTURE & IVF || Does it help? .
Acupuncture almost doubles the chance of a live birth when used in combination with IVF, according to research:
“Recent meta-analyses found acupuncture is effective in increasing live births (that’s what we want!) by 30% compared with no treatment in nine trials of 1,980 women”
.
“Acupuncture does not increase the risk of miscarriage”. Period. (Actually, clinically it lessens this risk)
.
“Additionally, acupuncture was 42% more effective to increase live births when women had previously failed a cycle, and baseline pregnancy rate continues to mediate acupuncture's effects”
.
Basically, this means if IVF has previously failed, there is a better chance of success doing acupuncture with IVF
.
“The characteristics of treatment more favourable to improving birth outcomes included more treatments, timing treatments in the period before and on the day of embryo transfer (ET), and using a modified Paulus protocol on the day of ET. These findings should inform the dosage, timing, and components of acupuncture therapy and type of comparator in future trials investigating the effects of acupuncture on IVF outcomes”
.
Ok, so. This means the more treatments prior to IVF, the better. The research generally favours between 8-16 treatments (1 session per week for 8-16 weeks) for the best outcomes prior to embryo transfer
.
The Paulus protocol is a specific selection of acupuncture points used in treatment right before and right after embryo transfer. We prefer the pre and post transfer acupuncture to be done within 24 hours either side of ET.
.
🩸Acupuncture increases blood flow to the uterus to improve implantation
.
It is incredibly relaxing, sending you off into la la land. We know stress & anxiety are major inhibitors to success, so the less stressed you are prior to ET, the better .
Acupuncture stimulates your energetic body to affect profound changes to body, mind and spirit
That's all pretty cool
.
No, it doesn't hurt
.
Yes, it works
.
You're welcome 🙏😂

If not the pill, what then? || My patients ask me

If not the pill, what then? || My patients ask me this question all the time. The contraception you choose is exactly that, YOUR CHOICE. Do you know all the different options you have available to you? .
When choosing, there are some things you might want to ask yourself:
• How effective is it with perfect use?
• How effective is it with typical use? (most people don’t actually use contraception perfectly)
• Are there side effects? Short and long term? Am I ok with that?
• Am I at risk of these side effects? eg Do I already have health concerns or other issues that increase my risk? • Do I need to learn how to use it eg. Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), or is it a ‘set & forget’ device like an IUD?
• Does it protect me against STD’s?
• Am I using it to manage other symptoms eg. acne, irregular/painful periods
⁠⠀
Some general thoughts...
💥 More risks and side effects with hormonal contraception (HC)
🩸HC suppresses your symptoms & do NOT regulate your hormones. Period.
🔥HC depletes nutrients - zinc, magnesium, folate, B vitamins, vitamin C
☄️Copper IUD also interferes with zinc
⚡️Of all these methods, only 2 relate to men. Men with sperm are fertile Every. Single. Day. Fun fact: there was a hormonal contraception designed for men, but it was pulled from the market due to too many side-effects 😳😖😡
🌟Most effective & least side effects? FAM- as long as used correctly!
❌ It is not normal for women to not bleed. We need to bleed at least 6 times per year to maintain a healthy endometrium. Anything that completely suppresses our period (like for 3 years!) is just not right. Not. Good
.
Whatever your choice, KNOW IT inside out. Too many women tell me “if only I’d known the side effects...”
