nurses and is not vaccinated |
|
13:11:51 |
RandallNeustaedter |
lailaca On any trip you should give a
probiotic. Jarrow makes one that does
not require refrigeration. And bring a
few homeopathic remedies: Belladonna for
fever, Arsenicum for diarrhea, Arnica
for injuries. |
|
13:12:21 |

anything else you had in mind? |

do you know about eosinophillic

ways to treat or elimante eosinophiles,
ore pedia reflux in the gi tract ? |

13:14:15 |
RandallNeustaedter |
hillyb6 This is a huge topic because
there is excellent holistic pediatric
treatment for reflux and these symptoms.
If you search for reflux on my website
www.cure-guide.com you will see some
discussion of this. |
|
13:14:31 |
RandallNeustaedter |
There is also info in my book Child
Health Guide. |
|
13:14:43 |
hillyb6 |
does it cover the eos as well |
|
13:14:57 |
Webmama_Tina |
current chatters: hillyb6 ....upcoming
chatters: KateDWJMERMJ, sweetirishct |
|
13:14:58 |
hillyb6 |
they say the reflux is caused by the eos
so normal meds arent working |
|
13:15:19 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Holistic pediatrics usually will combine
homeopathy and Chinese herbs and
supplements for this. |
|
13:15:33 |
hillyb6 |
other than diet elimantion and elemental
formula the meds they are using arent
helping |
|
13:15:43 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Normal meds (acid blockers) are not
appropriate for these symptoms. |
|
13:15:48 |
hillyb6 |
can those reduce inflamtion caused by
allergic response of the gi tract |
|
13:16:06 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Acid is needed to digest food, so
blocking acid production is the wrong
treatment. |
|
13:16:09 |
hillyb6 |
does your book cover that in it about
waht to use for these too |
|
13:17:12 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Certainly you can give a bifidus
supplement, but otherwise the treatment
is prescription herbs. You need to find
someone trained in this. |
|
13:17:33 |
hillyb6 |
is there a site to locat drs like you in
my area |

KateDWJMERMJ there are treatments for
the symptoms, but there may be some
limitations whenever genetic disorders
underlie a condition. |
|

sweetirishct Usually a 2 yr old will not
develop allergies to inhalants, but it
is possible. |
|
13:21:54 |
sweetirishct |
i ask because DD seems to show symptoms
(runny nose, reddenned eyes) around the
same time as my symptoms (congested
ears/sinuses) |
|
13:21:56 |
RandallNeustaedter |
I usually look at foods first. |
|
13:22:41 |
sweetirishct |
and my sx's usually poke their ugly
heads when things (trees, etc) start to
bloom |
|
13:22:58 |
RandallNeustaedter |
sweetirishct Then I would treat it as an
environmental allergen using an air
filter in her room, and pediatric herbal
formulas from Chinese Modular Solutions
(Rx only). |
|
13:23:26 |
RandallNeustaedter |
BTW the directory website is
www.hpakids.org |
|
13:23:44 |
hillyb6 |
? |

13:23:52 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Those are really the most effective
herbal formulas for this in kids. |
|
13:23:54 |
sweetirishct |
i am VERY new to homeo meds.. I bought
the Boiron \allergy\" formula today, is
this OK to try for her next time she has

Of course homeopathy can also work like
magic. But I do NOT use combination
medicines. |
|
13:24:36 |
RandallNeustaedter |
I think they tend to interfere with one
another and therefore not be very
effective in the long run. |
|
13:24:45 |
sweetirishct |
is Chinese Modular Solutions a brand
name? or do I have to see a homoepath
for them? (our insurance does not cover
at all) |
|
13:24:58 |
batsoup |

|
13:25:38 |

CMS is a brand. You can investigate them

My son has eczema but also very
sensitive skin. I try to watch what he
eats, but he still seems to get
irritated by something. Is there anythig
that you would recommend as a natural
cream, something to put on the skin that
could help? |
|
13:26:24 |
sweetirishct |
thanks so much!! |
|
13:26:34 |
RandallNeustaedter |
elijahsmommy Eczema is an internal
problem, and so external applications
are not very effective. |
|
13:27:04 |
RandallNeustaedter |
You could try Florasone by B&T, usually
available at health food stores or
online. |
|
13:27:19 |
elijahsmommy |
is that a pill? |
|
13:27:36 |
elijahsmommy |
well sorry...liquid for kids? |
|
13:28:16 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Florasone is a cream for itching.
Moisturizers are good (organic are
best). But eczema requires
constitutional treatment with homeopathy
(and often herbs and acupuncture). It is
easy to cure with the right treatment. |
|
13:28:38 |
elijahsmommy |
so any advice on where I can start
internally |
|
13:28:49 |
elijahsmommy |
the right herb for kids that is a start
for me |

Webmama_Tina |

....upcoming chatters:
Gavinsmom,hillyb6, batsoup |
|
13:30:03 |
RandallNeustaedter |
The treatment of eczema (and asthma) and
allergies requires an individualized
approach to the child. Other treatment,
like Rhus-tox or Mezereum in homeopathic
pills are only palliative and not
curative. |

My son is two months and I live in the

give the dtap because there have
been many pertussis outbreaks here
recently. I would prefer not to give
this vax...what are your thoughts since
he is so young? |

i have read your book....excellent :) |
|
13:31:38 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Gavinsmom A baby is usually immune to
pertussis (and everything else that you
have been exposed to) for 6 months. I
have seen 2 month old babies with
pertussis and even they can be managed
successfully. |
|
13:32:06 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Pertussis is a little scary, but
holistic (naturopathic) treatment is
very successful. |
|
13:32:35 |
Gavinsmom |
ok....That is reassuring....thank you |

Basically you want to stock emergency

Pneumococcus? We're in MN. |

elijahsmommy |
the typical that I have heard of where
the skin gets irritated he doesnt |
|
13:52:59 |
elijahsmommy |
I saw what you typed to Kate and
wondered if I could try that |
|
13:53:28 |
elijahsmommy |
sorry if he truly has eczema |
|
13:54:08 |
RandallNeustaedter |
I can go into the hemophilus issues.
Breastfeeding seems to be the best
preventive for meningitis, and the
longer they nurse the more protective. |
|
13:54:28 |
RandallNeustaedter |
elijahsmommy If you think he has eczema,
he probably does. |
|
13:54:37 |
elijahsmommy |
No I don't |
|
13:54:56 |
elijahsmommy |
but that is what a dr said...but he
doesn't typically break out where those
who have eczema does |
|
13:55:12 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Dry rough skin in patches, or rashes in
the flexures of elbows, knees, and neck,
behind the ears or on the cheeks. |
|
13:55:22 |
elijahsmommy |
was wondering if you thought it could
still be a good Idea to try to omega 3,
cod liver oil |
|
13:55:42 |
elijahsmommy |
he gets it on his neck and stomach |
|
13:55:44 |

cod liver or fish oils as well? |

hillyb6 |
and can you buy your book online only or
can i buy it form the local book store |
|
14:01:07 |
RandallNeustaedter |
hillyb6 There is no reason not to do
tests to find out what is going on. I
don't think vit C will help this no. But
there are good Chinese medicine formulas
that would. Replenish Essence is an
especially good CMS formula for these
growth and appetite issues in kids. |
