my son (3.5) is a VERY restless sleeper

immediately -- is there anything
homeopathic, diet, or otherwise that
might help? I am a walking zombie

Sleep is a complicated issue, but there
are Chinese herbal formulas and
homeopathic medicines that can help. It
really takes an individualized approach
so I encourage you to see a holistic
practitioner to sort it out. |

I like colostrum for kids if they are
not sensitive to dairy. Nu Life is good.
Of course kids at this age can also take
a high quality fish oil supplement, cod
liver oil during the winter. But
breastfeeding is the best preventive!
Keep it up. |

Eczema is inherited or caused by
vaccines or allergic reactions. I assume
you use laundry soap and cotton
clothing. So the next step is Chinese
herbs. An excellent formula is Fire
Fighter made by Chinese Modular
Solutions and available from Kan Herbs,
but only to doctors. So talk to your
naturopath. I would recommend switching
you fish oil, not flax, and adding vit E
200 IU. |

Anything else? |

Holistic and naturopathic are usually
synonyms. Homeopathy denotes use of
homeopathic meds. Chinese medicine
includes acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and
massage techniques within a traditional
Chinese medicine philosophy. I am an

It is not appropriate to treat ear
infections with antibiotics. Just for
the record. You can see a professional
homeopath and get a constitutional
medicine that fits his entire picture.
There is an excellent formula for ear
infections made by Golden Flower Herbs
and available to licensed practitioners. |

Ticks - you can use the natural

oscillococcinum that is... |

Oxcillo is a treatment for flu, the
preventive is Influenzinum available
from Boiron 800 blu-tube. I don't
believe in bird flu transmission between
humans. I assume you don't mean
preventive handling of chickens which is
a huge subject. |
|
13:44:25 |

However we may contract it - as I have
heard the media spreading the word of
some having contracted it from eating an
ill fowl. |
|

The bird flu hype is an excellent way to

So eating protein is not bad? Why not

anymore, what types of food should she
be eating to get all the vits and
minerals? Do you recommend a daily
vitamin for a child under 1? |

mommie1 |
she only nurses 3 x's if I am lucky |
|
13:53:22 |

I do not recommend multi vits at this
age. No soy. It depletes mineral
absorption and depresses the thyroid
gland. Give her fruits and veges, soups,
egg yolks. No grains until 12 months. |

Hi, have 8mo. old and starting solids,
rice etc causes constipation. any
chinese med formula recommend. Also,
what about need for iron? And, in
general is Chin med or homeopathy better
for infants/toddlers? |
|
14:01:54 |
jess |
and any other help for weaning ideas?
thank you |
|
14:03:18 |
RandallNeustaedter |
No rice for kids under 12 months. Babies
should be checked for anemia by a doctor
at 8 or 9 months when iron stores tend
to wear out. The best herbal formula TCM
for GI sxs in babies is Grow and Thrive
by CMS (Kan herbs) Rx only. homeopathy
is perfectly safe. |
|
14:03:29 |

You are weaning your 8 mo old?? |

|
14:04:07 |
jess |
no but looking to the future |
|
14:04:12 |
RandallNeustaedter |
I recommend that babies nurse for 12 mos
if at all possible, longer is always
better. |
|
14:04:32 |
jess |
i agree :) |
|
14:05:34 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Babies will get iron from green veges.
Make soup in a blender with kale, chard,
etc. added. Egg yolks are an appropriate
food after 6 mos, not whites. |
|
14:05:52 |
jess |
thank you |
|
14:06:25 |
RandallNeustaedter |
You can also freeze some cooked organic
chicken liver and shave it into food for
babies as an iron source. |
|
14:06:48 |
jess |
oh, and is kelp good too? |
|
14:08:16 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Weaning - you don't want to give formula
unles you must, so nurse until they are
eating lots of solids if possible. Then
start cutting out the easiest feedings
during the day. Nurse for sleeping. If
you are cosleeping forget weaning. The
only way to do that is to leave the baby
with dad or grandma for a weekend and
cold turkey the night. |
|
14:08:23 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Kelp yes. |

skrhythm |
early on you suggested that pox parties"
were a better choice over getten them on
there own, why so? i had the
oppertunity to expose my dd of 21/2 a
couple weeks ago, and i chickened out!
no pun intended!! thought it would be
best for her to get them" |
|
14:09:10 |
skrhythm |
naturaly. was i wrong? |
|
14:09:35 |
skrhythm |
also what is chromium? see post 10:49? |
|

You are confused. Expose your kids to
chicken pox any way you can. It doesnt'
matter how. |

I have a newborn 5 months old and really
want to treat any illness as naturally
as possible. I have my homeopathic
remedies and a couple books so I feel
okay on that end but what about herbal
treatments? |
|
14:15:03 |
RandallNeustaedter |
There are some good books on herbs, but
many are not appropriate for kids. I
recommend professionals for herbal tx. |

meaning teas and such? |
|
14:15:30 |
Amuzon1 |
you mentioned the chromium earlier, then
specified the chromium polynicotinate,
can chromium picolinate be a viable
substitute |
|
14:15:47 |
RandallNeustaedter |
I don't find teas very effective, espec
for kids. |
|
14:16:24 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Polynicotinate is better, picolinate is
ok, but I would try to get the other.
It's readily available. |

naturopathic medical boards in
individual states. Make sure they are. |

white rice has gluten, is that why do
not recommend the rice cereal? Our
local heatlh food store has gluten free
white rice...would you allow/recommend"
it?" |
|
14:22:06 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Do not give grains to children under 12
months. They contribute to allergies and
intestinal irritation. The complex carbs
and proteins are too hard for them to
process. |

The cows providing the milk used for
Cytolog are BSE-free and are grain and
pasture fed.Every batch of Cytolog is
tested to be free of antibiotics,
bacteria, heavy metals and other
contaminants. This is what I found about
the Colostrum by ARG. |

ildiko |
? |
|
14:25:17 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Cows milk causes lots of problems,
allergies, mucus, intestinal gas and
irritation. But some kids can tolerate
it. Do not give homogenized milk, and us
unpasteurized (raw) if possible. |
|
14:25:30 |

Almond and rice milk are fine. |

even consider that?...what is diff btwn
soy and organic...what about rice milk
also> |

last question..... elijah's momomy |

As I said soy depletes minerals. Search
on mercola.com for everything you need
to know about the evils of soy. |

what about the breastfeeding |
|
14:28:35 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Talk to La Leche or a lactation
consultant about re-establishing your
milk supply. It is possible. Even women
who have not been pregnant can develop
milk |
|
14:28:54 |
ElijahsMommy |
should I? |
