Michael has done really well taking all of his supplements. The takesumi powder was kind of hard at first, but now he's a pro. He's so good to remind me after each meal that he needs to take his medicine. He has been doing great.

The last couple of weeks, Michael has seemed a lot more moody. He did really well for the first couple of weeks, but lately it seems like he's having multiple breakdowns each day, over trivial, trivial things. Burke says it could be die-off, which means that as some issues are dealt with and disappear, other issues may surface.

Burke was up in Ogden for our yard sale today, so we had him test Michael again on the food sensitivities and for the presence of the fungus, parasites, chlamydia, and bacteria.

He tested negative for fungus and parasites, which is great, but he also is still testing positive for bacteria and chlamydia. All of the food sensitivities are gone except for oats. Which I think is a weird thing to be sensitive to, but there it is.

We're going to continue on the isatis and berbercap, but stop the TheraSupreme. We'll also keep doing the takesumi, but just for a few more days. Hopefully whatever is causing his meltdowns will resolve itself.

Michael is really excited to have some treats again. He's been really good about not eating sugar during this month. We made a paper chain so he could cut a link off each day and see how many days he has left. He's been a trooper. Even though he can have treats again, we are really going to limit them to one or two a day. We're going to keep him on carob milk instead of chocolate milk, and use stevia a lot more instead of sugar.
