I have three children, girls ages 7 and 5, and a boy age 3. I was a high school vocal teacher before I had my first child. Now, I stay at home, homeschool, and teach music and drama lessons and classes. When I was little, I was sick constantly (mono and constant bronchitis and asthma before I was 11), and local doctors only treated the symptoms and called me a ‘sickly child’. My mom took me to Dr. Atkins (yes, the Dr. Atkins) and he found out that I was hypoglycemic. He took me off sugar, white flour, white rice, etc, and I have rarely been sick since - no more asthma, or cavities either! I firmly believe that most illnesses can be cured or helped by easy diet and lifestyle changes.
