CA and NY are really rough. A medical exemption is all but impossible to get, as the state has basically threatened doctors with their license for providing them. Legally a religious exemption is the strongest, however in those states it is still an uphill battle. Getting your child out of the system has never been more important!

You can get little silicone trays on Amazon and mix with something like organic virgin coconut oil, freeze then pop out to store in the freezer and use as needed.

You can always make your own! Lots of great DIY hacks online. Your best bet is to get to know the teacher and gift her some fun oily things – a nice bottle of premade Thieves cleaner for her classroom (and one for her home ha), a Thieves bottle to replenish with, some oil samples to include in the sprayers. That way the teacher is more likely to actually use the products in the classroom where your child will be!

I would do some frank or Claraderm on it daily, hang in there mama!

How is his tummy overall? Is he having healthy, soft bowel movements? This age is ripe for constipation which wrecks havoc on sleep. You can try a supplement like UnWind (tastes like watermelon !) before bed, and diffuse either Seedlings Calm or Sleepyize in his room at night. It is also the age for monsters in the closet, so if he’s mentioned any scary things -maybe a monster spray with some calming essential oils like Lavender that he can squirt around his room.

You absolutely can work with him -some people use something small like a tic tac to practice. You can also give him something yummy and good for his gut -like camel milk and/or Ningxia with can mask the taste of the supplements.

Awesome! Update as you go along!

Welcome! This is such an important question, and as you have seen there are many routes and it takes a lot of listening to your intuition.
If you truly feel that your child must be in a particular school you will have more of an uphill battle in states like Cali and NY. However college most likely would be “easier” to file exemptions and pester the system so to speak because they are considered adults not minors. A religious attestation of faith is rock solid. I do not recommend medical exemptions solely on the reasoning that the onus of proof is on you. You do not ever have to prove your religious faith. Christian Science is the most rock solid.
Choose what is best for you and just how you may have to choose what is most important to your family. Fighting on the grounds of religion will always give you more leverage because it is constitutionally protected.
I have a hard time believing that they have the manpower to check every form, so have parents submitted forms? Wink Wink Yes. I know a lot of parents who want to fly under the radar just don’t make a scene and do not do anything out loud, they just hand in the “form” and act normal.
Some submit a religious attestation of faith and some submit a “form” that looks like all the others.
Good luck, you’ve got this!

You can definitely decline the glucose test, or ANY test or procedure you are not comfortable with however as a private entity they can also decline to see you. You can request a A1C test during your first trimester, but since youre past that you can ask for a fasting glucose test to get a baseline, and then perform an at home glucose test. This may be for as long as a week, depending on what your clinic requires but it doesnt include any gross sugar drinks that will send your system into overdrive. You test your blood sugar multiple times a day and record results
You can explain to your providers that due to your diet and lifestyle the traditional test is likely to show a false positive again, and also make you sick. You will need to advocate for yourself but there is no reason that you cannot do the at home test.

You can start with the raindrop kit/massage as many times a week as possible or wanted. Ive seen people have incredible results even with 1-2x a week, but you need to do it and do it consistently. You can also do it for yourself!

Oh also, please check out all the courses on here. There are so many things you can start now!

You can try Resilience Naturopathic in CA (they are 100% virtual). They specialize in PANS/PANDAS kids only however they do a free consult to see if they can help. If they cannot, they can recommend other practitioners who can help.
-
You’re doing all the right things -you can also put lavender around the orbital bone and frank, or put a few drops of each and purification/thieves into the hot water bowl you’re dunking the washcloth in.
-
Yes you can! I would also add in unwind and the OG valor -down the spine.

Here is some great info that breaks down the 12 cell salts and even a downloadable chart to help. My favorite brand is UNDA and it can usually be found on Amazon.
