Motivation

Well yet again this week I received another call from a friend saying that they have just been told that their child has Eczema! 4 in one week. Makes you wonder why, and what on earth is causing it all! Kids passing Kidney stones, fast food causing Asthma.... Why.

Well all this has really lit the fire under my butt again to get this site to where I want it, a one stop shop, support group, information page, for parents dealling with this.

I am going to be clearing out all my stock in the shop to make room for some new and very exciting products! VERY focused to our cause. Modish Monkeys will be at the next Little Monsters Swap Meet April 4th in Spruce Grove at the Tri Liesure centre. Let me know if you need more details. I will be running some specials on our products and be there to answer questions, etc.

I am going to be working my butt off over the next few weeks to add a ton of content to the site to help answer some of your questions as well as links to direct you to people who can truly help you as they have helped us!!!

Please keep checking back.

Have a fabulous day, and remember love helps the healing process!

New Year, New Beginnings

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well I haven't been as good as I would have liked with keeping on the website and blog. I will blame it on the holidays and have 2 kids 2 and under! lol.

I am happy to report first that our son's eczema has been pretty much clear since we switched his diet and put him on the supplements (probiotic, milk thistle, alcabase, etc) and eliminated all Dairy and Wheat! It is amazing the results not only to his skin but also to his overall personality! He is so much less stressed and overall just always happy. His skin is clear 95% of the time, and the only reactions we see is on the tops of his hands and the odd time behind his knees. We have had NO open sores or bumps at all. It has been such a change!

Our little girl is not currently showing any signs of Eczema, our fingers are crossed that she doesn't also react to the wheat when we start introducing solids. She is however lactose intolerant, I have had to avoid Dairy while I have been feeding her. I have been drinking lactose free milk and cheese as does my son and this seems to work just fine for us.

On the website front, Laara (she is mentioned on the Links page of our website) will be putting up an article regarding Eczema, Asthma, and Allergies in the next few days. This article will open your eyes to how easy it can be to just change your lifestyle in hopes of eliminating these common reactions. If you would like more information please contact Laara directly at laara@vita-quest.com.

On the store front, We are in the process of launching a modish monkeys line of products as well as a daily diary. Please watch for these wonderful new products due out Spring 2009.

Here is to another year of bringing awareness to Eczema, Asthma, and allergies.

Everyone has a story, everyone needs advise on occasion, everyone needs a place to share, laugh, and cry. We hope that you will feel comfortable in letting our website be that place of support
