Why Does It Have To Be Either Or ?

I am a purist by nature.

I love black and white, clear cut, absolutes...I am NOT a fan of gray, however, I am not immune to them.

I treat gray as the next unknown to make known.

Over the last 2 years I have challenged EVERYTHING about my life. If you are not familiar with the strange path my family is taken you can visit my post called:

Mentally Ill or Environmentally Sick

These events have caused us to question everything we thought we knew. The way we eat, the stuff we put on body, the home we live in and the people we trust....LOTS of GRAY!

And what have we done...continued to learn.

We now make better (more educated) choices about our foods. We have removed or changed nearly every product that crosses the threshold of our home in order to create the safest environment for everyone in it and those that visit.

Will we keep changing ?...YES! Because we are constantly changing and so is the environment around us.

Many products I could not use have changed their product ingredients. Some companies are realizing change is needed and they are stepping up. Others...not so much, so I do not use them.

One area that has been VERY difficult to maneuver is the HEALTH battlefield. This is one place where many believe it has to be ALL or NOTHING.

For the most part we use natural whole food remedies. Our insurance does not cover this choice for us even though we have been healthier over the last 2 years than ever before. Our primary care comes from a whole food nutrition specialist. But this week I made the choice to revisit the medical world for my children with the guidance and support of our normal natural doctor.

SHOCKED? You shouldn't be. A good physician whether MD or DC (or whatever the letters after their name) should be aware of alternatives and should share those options with their patients.

I trust my physician and when I ask him what would you do for your child...he knows I need ALL his knowledge, wisdom and truth...he used his tools to determine the best route for her, which included seeing her first MD in 2 years.

As of today she is feeling better. We are supporting her body to handle Strep and the antibiotics along with her older brother.

And it didn't have to be either or but instead the best of all...

Thank you Dr. Scot Wilging for not making me choose either or but for helping me make the best choices of all things available!
