I appreciate your toy reward system. My daughter is older but we also found that bribery works well and for her health we are willing to stoop to it! Actually, it's truly not bribery when you present it as a goal to work towards, as opposed to a payment in exchange for compliance. At least I keep telling myself that. ;-) With my little girl, during the first month of the protocol we allowed her to earn toward the purchase of a larger toy she wanted very badly. She earned a quarter for each time she took her supplements which totaled a dollar a day. We required that she take them without complaint or delay in order to earn the money. She was also promised that she could make the purchase herself at the end of the month. This succeeded in getting her in the habit of taking the supplements regularly. She still speaks with excitement about going to the store to buy her item and how grown-up she felt. Since then it has been a struggle but not impossible to keep her on-track. However, like you we had a rough patch recently which caused us to miss some doses on and off for about a week. Luckily it was not long enough for her to relapse, but when we were able to get back on track she was not willing to get back on track with us! Just that bit of inconsistency caused her to begin rejecting regular doses again so we are going to have to get creative once more and come up with a new goal to work toward. This has really taught me the importance of total consistency. Like your son, my daughter is also on all the Logos supplements, just in smaller doses. The Thymic formula is the real show stopper for her. She hates the taste and smell, so mixing in food is not always the complete solution. We've recently found that crushing it in a smoothie made with plain yogurt sweetened with Stevia and a few berries can make it possible. That is the method we are using right now. For some of the other aspects of the protocol I have found that having some sort of juice to help take the meds can help. However, the sugar is not a good thing on the protocol and even unsweetened juices are normally not good. However, cranberry juice if unsweetened is extremely low in sugars. We found that if you purchase cranberry juice that has no sugar or other juices added it can be diluted and sweetened with Stevia to create a protocol-friendly juice. It really helps the medications go down and I even use this to make popsicles. Here in the States you can purchase unsweetened cranberry juice in the health food stores and in some large grocery chains. One brand that produces a totally unsweetened cranberry juice is Knudson called 'Just Cranberry', but Safeway also has a much cheaper version by 'Open Nature'. These products are very tart and strong though so you do have to dilute with a good deal of water and of course add the Stevia to taste. A positive of the added water is that it makes the juice go much further and keeps costs down. My daughter loves the fact that she can have some juice occasionally now. We also enjoy Stevia sweetened lemonade as an occasional treat as well as the yogurt smoothies. We blend these with organic yogurt, a few berries, Stevia and some added green vegetable powder. She has gotten used to the taste of the green powder and it helps on those days when she is just not going to eat vegetables. Like you, we also use the garden as a way to generate some excitement over vegetables. I've been green-gardening with Carrie since she was your boy's age and it is finally working! Of course it is Winter for us now but last Summer she told me she really liked kale (while munching a leaf just picked off the bush!) and has now added salads to her diet. I make a 'lemonade dressing' just for her by whisking together lemon juice, coconut oil and Stevia. It has opened up the possibility of salads for her. Some other treat ideas include organic brown rice crackers with a spread made by mixing almond butter, coconut oil, cinnamon and Stevia. These are surprisingly good together and spread on the crackers or rice cakes makes a dessert for her. I am also experimenting with coconut and almond flour recipes and will report on the results when I have something that proves promising. Thanks again Teresa. I enjoyed hearing more about your approaches with your little boy and what has worked well for you, Deborah, PS. I loved the 'don't think, just drink' motto. We'll definitely be using it at our house! |
