Almost ten years ago, I was a wreck! I was sick all the time and had been on antibiotics for an entire year! I ended up in a different physician’s office from the regular MD I usually saw. The new doctor had a lot of experience with allergies and instantly saw my problem. He got me off of processed foods and into organic. He got me off wheat, egg white, yeast and peanuts. (Eventually I was able to ease them back into my diet.) He got me off dairy for life.
I feel kind of sorry for him now. The only prescription I’ve had in the last 7 years was to take care of an infection resulting from a spider bite. My cholesterol went way down. My chronic heartburn stopped. I don’t need him any more!
We are trying to eat better while sticking to our spending plan .. that’s why this blog also discusses personal finance and productivity. Feel free to come along for the ride!

PS: Inspired by Sandy I am trying to go sugar-free this year beginning January 3 (10PM) Please cheer me on! And go say “Hi!” to Sandy for me!
It’s January 10 and I’m still sugar-free. I love you Sandy!
Well, what do you know, I was just about to launch my own lean and green website. You beat me to it. But I’ll tell you what, you go right ahead! I think it’s a great idea and I’ll definitely be checking in with you to see what ideas you come up with. Paige
Hi Mary! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m adding you to my list of blogging stops
I agree with you that the photos often get lost on scrapbook pages…and I don’t like it much myself! I’m really pleased that you liked my layout enough to leave the comment. Stop back when you get a chance. I’m going to dig around here and see what yummy things I can find!
Hey Joy! I added you to my list of daily reads too. I love your sense of style – you made me want to get to work and I have a Cub Scout album that needs my attention!!
Hi!!! Just cheering you on!! Not easy to give up sugar! And i just wanted to say that my son and I started going to allergists and it has changed our life!! Constantly sick…and now he is off of wheat, soy, and eggs and I am doing allergy shots and eating better and feel so much better!! Now no more sugar!!
Sandy – You’ve found a great allergist – treat him like gold! These changes really do work!
