Dr. Smith,

My son and I are currently 4 months into the VAD diet, and almost 3 months into the Nutrition Restored program.  I'd like to give you an update on our progress, as well as ask for guidance on next steps. 

First I'll talk about my son's progress, because that's where the fun is.  Warning - I may use caps and excessive exclamations because I cannot hide my excitement.

My son has been eczema FREE for over one month now.  He has had severe chronic eczema since he was 2 months old.  He has NEVER gone a day without eczema somewhere on his body.  My son is having 1-2 (!!!) bowel movements per day.  Since he was an infant, he would only have BM's every 2-3 days.  My son's intense/extreme temper tantrums used to be a normal occurrence.  He has only had ONE over the last two months.  His teacher even commented on how my son has gone through a fundamental positive shift in engagement in both academic and social aspects in school (the teacher's comment came unprompted by me, she knows nothing of our work on the VAD diet).  He belly laughs daily!  He dances and sings like never before!

His eczema didn't completely clear up until we also eliminated the food items high in stearic acid.  I had actually already determined he reacted to beef, butter, and cocoa through previous elimination diet work.  But once I eliminated lamb and coconut too, the last of his eczema cleared up.

I've been searching his entire life to solve the riddle of his eczema.  I can FINALLY say I've figured it out!

My comments:  Stearic acid is a free fatty acid.  Free fatty acids (FFA) cause an increase in retinoic acid biosynthesis--turning various forms of Poison/"Vitamin A" into the very worst forms out there, the retinoic acids--in the gut, which then causes increased symptoms of Poison/"Vitamin A" toxicity particulary in the gut and on the skin (the skin and the gut are continuous, and a problem in one shows on the other).  This is why we see improvements in both gut function AND skin!

Is there research connecting undesirable children's behaviors to Poison/"Vitamin A" toxicity?  Yes, there is!

Toward a Theory of Childhood Learning Disorders, Hyperactivity, and Aggression

Children, of all people, should not be sick.  They recover quite quickly when the right things are done for them.  The Poison/"Vitamin A" and Glyphosate Detox Program (and Nutritional Restoration individualized work with me) is the best way I know of to fix the epidemics affecting both children and adults these days.
