I understand but some chiropractors use the holistic approach and some people that are into the natural way of doing things prefer to use midwives. They most certainly do come to your home to deliver if that's what one is looking for. You don't have to set foot in a hospital. That's what made me ask if she leaned towards that approach. I haven't seen an answer and I don't know if Trinket is still here or even if she would know. Just to add, there are midwives who believe in the holistic approach. I did not say that all do. Just some. Jmo
The posts about the doctor's visits were tagged as being at two different children's hospitals:

IMO that would seem to indicate she was seeking out traditional medical doctors and not using the chiropractor for allergy diagnosis.
I also wanted to point out that one of these photos shows the child with food in her mouth. Although no details are given as to what is going on, it is common in food allergy testing to do daily challenges (in a doctors office or hospital) to test if the child has a reaction or not. Sometimes allergy tests do not reveal a food that is causing a reaction or sometimes they reveal a large number of items when not everything is causing a reaction. Food challenges are used by allergists to narrow down the offending item OR to see if a child previously diagnosed is still allergic. They will do a food challenge appointment under the watchful care of the dr and test different suspect items each day or slowly increase the amount of something to see if it can be tolerated without needing an epipen. I wonder if perhaps that could be the reason for the mention of "daily appointments"-- if they were doing food challenges it would require several days. JMO.
