I think the cost of eating on the road with dietary requirements and people looking for you would take the budget to a whole new level. I hope Tad had graduated lenses for reading the fine print on the jars and boxes. And he must have snuck around a bit stealing license plates behind convenience stores.
What a dork!

I live near SF and I am traveling with my 14 year old granddaughter from Maine right now, we are in LA visiting another daughter. It is soooo expensive and we have free lodging. Traveling is expensive!!!

One of the pics has what looks like some sort of grill. Did they cook on it, use it for heat? In a closed cabin!!!

It's a coleman stove, run by propane. We use one often when camping, and have used it many times indoors when the lights have gone out for a few days. Perfectly safe, but you wouldn't want to use one for long periods of time in a very confined area, or without ventilation.
 
There are food allergies and food intolerance of varying degree. Lots and lots of people conflate the two, eg calling a lactose intolerance a "milk allergy," when they are not the same at all. One is rare and can cause very strong general reactions; and lactose intolerance can vary from mild gas after drinking over a quart of milk a day, to serious gastric upset from a few ounces

Interestingly most people with wheat allergies outgrow them by puberty or before.

Do we know for certain she had an allergy, and what is the source of the information?

Her sister, Kat. ET required an epipen, but I don't remember for which allergy. (Tomato, I think. I hope someone will have a better memory.)

I believe the Federal filing showed he only got 5 or 6 Cialis pills in the refill. I am not familiar with that Rx, but that doesn't seem like dosage for a daily med does it? IMO

One dose lasts around 3 days I was told. (I'm way behind on the thread)

That sounds lovely. You were taken there to give you a wonderful experience, with your loving family.

She was kidnapped and kept in that place in isolation, for deviant reasons. You were NOT isolated. You were free. She was not. Her, in that place, under those circumstances....was nothing the same. It's a differing opinion. Yours isn't right or wrong, others aren't right or wrong. It makes the world go round.

What I was responding to was the person making a big deal out of the distance to say the fire department etc. or the spartan nature of the cabin and area. This is a meaningless distinction. There are plenty of children in abuse in all kinds of neighborhoods, including kidnapped, raped and in many cases murdered kids. Just as there are plenty of kids living happy and arguably the healthiest lives who live in extreme rural and spartan conditions.

My point remains: the crime(s) are the issue, not the fact that he took her to a place of extreme natural beauty and isolation

Per her sister she was allergic to wheat and tomatoes and had an epipen.
This article just says several things:

Cialis is dosed at 5, 10 and 20 mg for ED. For ED it is one of those for about 24-48 hours. For blood pressure it is 5 mg daily. LOTS of people get the blood pressure "version" for ED as it is generally better covered by insurance per milligram.
The news reports show one 6 pill and one 7 pill refill right before leaving, ie 13 pills. That makes it more likely he had an ED prescription, but on the other hand the police notice to pharmacists was for blood pressure, so perhaps it was for that (although those are again generally 30x5mg)

Any parent of a child with allergies severe enough to require an epi pen would absolutely check out distance to medical facilities and plan their trips accordingly.
So IMO it is a big deal.

MOO
 
Sort of odd to me that investigators jumped to some rather unseemly conclusions about coconut oil. It's a staple in our house. Great for many things.

One thing I do wonder though is if either of the two recently got tattoos. I have a friend who owns a tat shop and he tells his clients to use coconut oil as part of routine aftercare.

I believe there are two versions. A daily low dose version and higher dose pill that's recommended for every three days. It's not uncommon to split the once-every-3-day pill and only take half. It's a way to keep costs down.

Thanks. Wheat allergies definitely decline in severity with age, with greatly reduced reaction by puberty. True tomato allergy is very rare, with intolerance to the acidity more common.

Food allergies in children are one of the most incorrectly over-diagnosed conditions. something on the order of 60% to 90% of diagnosis of food allergy when none is actually present.

Without prejudice to this case, if you or your kid is diagnosed with a food allergy through the most common method, IgE or skin prick, consider having an oral food challenge done by a specialist, before severely altering your diet.
