Hey there all! I know it's been quite a while since I've written, but there has been an immense amount of busy-ness going on in the Barton world!
Roman and I head off to Texas tomorrow! I am so dang excited! (and anxious...need some ginger-ale). I've been busy trying to pack everything you could possibly need for an 8 month old and for myself, for the last few days. It's been difficult because we've been using everything I plan on taking (ie. clothes), so I have had to wait until now, today, to pack it all up. Man, I am tired of packing! I've also been trying to pack up my casa, which is even harder when Jeff will be needing some of the stuff I want to pack. We have boxes everywhere that need to be filled, but since Jeff will be living here for another week, he will be the one to have to pack up the last of it. I'm feeling a little guilty about leaving to visit my friend while Jeff stays here and cleans and packs...doesn't seem fair. But he wants me to go. What an amazing husband I have! Sorry ladies....took the best one EVER!!!
Roman is doing some pretty awesome things lately! He's learned to pinch. Hard. It really hurts! He's also discovering different ways to move his mouth around to create different sounds, which is hilarious! We moved him up to a size 5 diaper!! woot! fatty. He's still not crawling, but really wants to! 1 not so awesome thing is he still wakes up about every 3 hours at night. He's also had a dry nose for the last 7 or 8 weeks....poor guy. Makes breathing a little difficult! He can't have squash...makes him break out in hives on his chest, peaches give him an upset stomach, and he is SUPER sensitive on his skin if even you kiss or touch him without washing your mouth/lips or hands first, wait a few minutes and a rash will appear. :( Lets see, what else. In the midst of his babbling, it sounds like he says 'mom'....a lot! :) There's more, but currently my brain is thinked out.
This should get the opinions rolling...
I've recently discovered that Roman's food allergies were most likely caused (i think...) by his vaccinations. I know this is a very controversial topic, but I have done a LOT of reading about vaccines and their affects on children. Not just a coincidence, folks! Jeff and I are still researching the topic, but I have very strong feelings about vaccines now. For example: When roman and i were still learning how to nurse, we supplemented with formula. He had NO reaction to it whatsoever. It wasn't until AFTER he was vaccinated he developed the allergy to milk protein. Regarding eggs....when I was pregnant with him, I was told I needed a flu shot. This vaccine is kept in egg as are many of the other vaccines out there!!! My aunt was appalled when I told her I got the flu shot, and she's nurse! Have you looked at what the ingredients are in vaccines? if not, you should...it's quite disgusting. Regarding peanut...
CAN VACCINES CAUSE FOOD ALLERGIES?
JAMA 2001 Apr 4;285(13):1746-8 Detection of peanut allergens in breast milk of lactating women states, “Most individuals who react to peanuts do so on their first known exposure”……………..and concluded “Peanut protein is secreted into breast milk of lactating women following maternal dietary ingestion. Exposure to peanut protein during breastfeeding is a route of occult exposure that may result in sensitization of at-risk infants." PMID 11277829
Women have been ingesting peanut protein while breastfeeding for decades. What has changed in the last 15 years to cause infants to develop life-threatening allergies to this legume? One change has been the vaccination schedule.
The Int Arch Allergy Immunol 1999 Jul; 119(3):205-11 Pertussis adjuvant prolongs intestinal hypersensitivity concludes: Our findings indicate nanogram quantities of PT (pertussis toxin), when administered with a food protein, result in long-term senitization to the antigen, and altered intestinal neuroimmune function. These data suggest that exposure to bacterial pathogens may prolong the normally transient immune responsiveness to inert food antigens. PMID 10436392
Does this study explain why babies and toddlers react on their first exposure to the peanuts or other antigens? The babies may have been sensitized by the vaccines to the proteins through breast milk or formula ingested at the time of vaccination. This would also explain why children are anaphylactic to a variety of proteins, such as different tree nuts, peanuts, egg, legumes, milk, seeds, etc., depending on what proteins the mother ate at the time of vaccination.

Interesting, isn't it?! Back to the ingredients in vaccines; I compared the ingredients in vaccines to the ingredients that we now have to avoid in food for Roman, and wouldn't you know, according to my list, he is allergic to pretty much all the vaccine ingredients. That has pretty much consumed my 'free time'. Researching this stuff.
Anywho! To switch subjects, I'm tired and still need to pack! I'll have photos and stories of Texas when I get back!
