Alane’s Son’s Dysautonomia Story:
Andrew was born preemie in 1997 and had failed to thrive. At three months of age, he was only 5 pounds. Over time his weight improved.
He broke out a head-to-toe rash at age three on the first sunny spring day. Our pediatrician suspected Lupus, and Emory Hospital told them he was allergic to the sun. After one year of following orders, dressing him in dark clothes, hats, and sunscreen, Aland had a thought. What if this was an autoimmune or dysautonomia response to something?
She adjusted his diet, and not only did the rash go away but so did the sun allergy.
As Andrew grew, he started to show symptoms of dehydration, loss of coordination, fainting, dizziness, and heat intolerance. He was diagnosed with POTS.
Alane tested him for food intolerance, toxins, mold, and vitamin deficiency. She worked diligently with him to get to the root cause: an underlying infection and adrenal imbalance. It was treated naturally, and he was fine and still is.
Andrew is a skilled engineer who lives independently, and is a wonderful young man.
