    Hi Seekingwisdom,

    My sister went through something similar (but not the exact same symptoms, of course!) with Doctors and specialists not finding anything. My nephew’s eyes were turning ~ yellow!! I kept saying Gaucher Syndrome (as I’m a carrier), but all blood and genetic tests came back “negative”, etc.

    Here’s the deal: Naturopathic remedies AND Western medicine can be overrated. WHAT HEALS US IS what we **DON’T** put in our bodies. It’s not the treatments. It’s eliminating the crap.

    I told my sister to stop feeding the kids take outs and instant meals. Put all fruits and veggies in the house in a blender. Feed nephew only that for a month. Wouldn’t you know it, the yellow eyes went away! Now she only shops at Whole Foods and Farmer’s Markets.

    Another thing that helps is getting rid of and turning off all electronics, not having them in our bedrooms even. Also, taking your shoes off and walking barefoot on rocks and the ground. Being in Nature.

    Let’s say this is all in her head ~ then let your ex take some sort of control. I know it’s hard. But once she sees that both parents are on the same team, her anxiety will dissipate.

    Let’s say that there is something (i.e. undiagnosed Lyme). Now that she is older, let HER take part in her own recovery. We all instinctively know what we want or need. Take her to the Health Food store and to the bookstore to pore over medical and healing books. Have her choose the foods, supplements and remedies. Once she feels some sense of control, that will help her outlook and make real physical symptoms easier to bear.

    Good Luck!

    Dear Seekingwisdom:

    I am glad you posted here. First, the obvious: any and every disagreement between you and your ex husband, including disagreements about what is best for your ill daughter, hurts her, increases her anxiety and stops her from healing.

    She must be protected from the animosity between you and your ex husband.

    Then, of course, your own anxiety, as understandable as it is, harms her too. She needs as calm an environment as possible and that must be number one priority in her treatment, as well as in promoting your own well being and that of your other daughter.

    Anxiety, ongoing excess fear, is a cause of a lot, lots and lots of symptoms. Even if there is another cause, anxiety will add to the severity of the symptoms and produce new symptoms in addition to the symptoms of lets say a viral infection.

    Can you think of ways your ill daughter is witnessing distress between you and her father that can be eliminated? Ways to make her home environment as calm as possible? I am sure you thought about these things, but thinking more.. ??
