2.5 Years After Withdrawing from Topical Steroids...


2.5 YEARS AFTER STOPPING STEROIDS
(this post says it is posted in 2013, I have moved it on the calendar just so it sits in the right spot on my blog, but today is the 18th June 2014)
So.. a lot has happened since I last posted..
We have stayed living an organic paddock to plate lifestyle, that will never change.
In short, we started a family (got a dog..a golden retriever.. her name is Rocket), moved interstate to the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. I add the photos and our most recent ones are at the bottom of this post (now Sept 2016).
I am so proud of everyone who has found us and gone through this struggle to live our better quality of life and health. 
Nothing makes me happier then watching Jake stroll out of the house in a T-shirt and shorts..
I love you Jake!! X

She's all grown up now, 1 year old

Jake's life has completely changed for the better, forever.
This does not mean we don't have to work on health to keep it that way. 

We have experienced stressful times since the withdrawal, which has brought on eczema and other inflammatory issues. 

The key core things to keep in check are diet, stress management, and environment.

We will always strive for better health.

FOOD IS MEDICINE Xx

You Will Heal, We Have Proof

If you are new to this blog, please see the post link Reflection which will lead you to the start of our journey.

If you're interested in our lifestyle and the food I make for Jake, here is my Facebook Page
Tone Up Your Lifestyle - Feel free to private message me through my page.

Again we just wanted to shout out to my parents for being... and still being so supportive, we love you and couldn't have gone through this without you both!
Jake still has the best skin he feels he has ever had. Not only does he have nice skin, he also has an immune system which is not suppressed, bowels, kidneys, a liver, a heart, and a gut that are now extremely healthy, functional, and not at risk of brewing diseases.

Below are articles worth reading for those who are still trying to find the answer to their worsening eczema. There are more links as you scroll through previous posts.
