Treatment Updates
April 3, 2011 By 4 Comments
I have to be honest. December 2010 was a nightmare of a month. Everything we tried with Lizzie didn’t work. Her moods were so intense.

NAET beyond the basic 15
June 16, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I need to stop “apologizing” about NAET being “weird –or- voodoo”. It is becoming obvious to all around us that it is working. Amazingly so. Still I cannot explain what it is or how it works is a clean succinct way. In a way it reminds me of trying to explain faith. You can talk until … [Read more...]

Dare we Hope?
May 29, 2010 By 1 Comment
Hubby and I went to hear the kid’s doctor give a lecture about NAET a few weeks ago. Usually I attend these kind of meetings. But this time, I hired a babysitter so we could go as a couple.
