My name is Sarah and I am a wife of a
soldier. We have to two small boys with a little one on the way. My family and
I started on the GAPS diet this February. It was a scary and hard decision to
make, but I knew that God was calling us in that direction. A little ways into
the diet, I was playing with my youngest. As he laughed I saw a spot on his
bottom tooth, and my heart sank. In my mind I was picturing a visit to the
dentist with him. I balked at the idea. I could literally feel shudders and a
repeat of his hospital stay when he had pneumonia at two and half months. It
was to date, the worst experience of my life, and definitely of his. I wanted
to spare him any type of trauma, as he still isn't over everything he went
through at the hospital.
God was providing for us, however, as I had just read
an article from Sarah at The Healthy Home Economist, that she healed her son's
cavity using fermented cod liver oil from Green Pastures. I had my husband look
at our son's tooth and I told him I was going to order the cod liver oil. If it
worked, awesome! If not, cod liver oil is good for brain function. When it
arrived I got a baby spoon out, filled it up and gave it to my baby. Surprise,
surprise! He loved it! As my sister-in-law appropriately said in regards to this,
"He's a garbage disposal of nasty!" I couldn't agree more because I
struggled to get it down! All my troubles paid off with visible results
occurring just a week later! The spot on his tooth was smaller, and even my
"doubting Thomas" husband agreed that it was so. Of all the results
that I have seen while being on the GAPS diet, the effects of fermented cod
liver oil is by far the most amazing!
This experience has left me in complete
awe of God. Last year I would have thought that this sounded way too far
fetched, but it makes so much sense that God would provide a natural way of
healing cavities. We knit our bones back together after they break for goodness
sakes, so why couldn't we heal a decaying tooth?
Fermented cod liver oil does more than
just heal cavities. This February and March were brutal months in Colorado, as
far as respiratory viruses go. I worried that my little one would succumb to
pneumonia again this year. I asked God to give me a way to protect him from a
repeat. When friends were continually taking their feverish babies into the
doctors for earaches and horrible coughs, my kids were okay. A friend of mine
took her son in (he's a couple months older than my youngest) and he was on the
brink of pneumonia. I knew if my son was going to get a repeat of pneumonia, it
would be soon. I was hoping that the cod liver oil strengthened his immune
system enough that he would be alright. When my kids did get the inevitable
cold, the worst that happened was my oldest got earaches in both ears (which I
treated with garlic oil). No antibiotics were needed and I didn't take them to
the doctor. I know with that mommy instinct that mothers get, that things would
have been a lot worse had we not been taking cod liver oil!
Sarah is a dear friend of mine from way back when. She
is a wonderful, God fearing Momma who does so much for her children. I
am always inspired and uplifted every time I speak with her. I asked her
to share a little bit about her experience on the GAPS diet
and taking fermented cod liver oil. Sarah has seen many improvements in
her family's health and will be a regular guest here sharing about her
experiences! Don't forget to leave her some comment love!
