Good grief.  Accidents happen.  Avoidance works fine but accidents happen.

We all have to make choices as parents.  You have written off NAET, and no one
can say that is a right or wrong decision.   I don't necessarily think that
one has to sacrifice movies, yummy dairy free treats or college savings in
order to try  alternative medicine if that is what one wants to do in order to
seek out all possibilities to protect their child.  Allopathic medicine (and
believe me, I rely on that heavily for my son--eight surgeries to date and all
kinds of medicines, specialists, et.al.) only can preach avoidance and offer
an Epi-Pen.  But accidents happen.
