Hi, Doctor. I was wondering about thrush
- my daughter has had it since about 7wo
and she's now just over 7 months. We've
tried most conventional treatments but
to no avail. I've also tried
babydophilus but she still has thrush. |
|
13:08:39 |
Webmama_Tina |
yes i'll do that again |
|
13:08:58 |

oh and teh comings and goings are now

Is there anything you can recommend? I

I'm passing it to her |

today's topic: Open discussion about any
recurrent or persistent children's
health problems, including weakened
immunity to infections, allergies,
asthma, eczema, diabetes, chronic
headaches, and any others. The
conventional pediatric care for chronic
problems often amounts to using drugs
that temporarily alleviate symptoms, but
do nothing for the underlying problem.
Holistic pediatrics addresses the
imbalance that precedes chronic symptom
patterns, taking an approach that
relieves symptoms with natural medicines
and strengthens the body to prevent
recurrences. |

Talk to the manager at the health food
store about the most reliable brand. And
she should be taking a broad spectrum
probiotic formula, not just bifidus. |

13:11:28 |

Ok, broad spectrum. I'll try that.
Should I follow the dosage on the
bottle? |

There is a very good method in Chinese
medicine for strengthening bone
development in children. You should see
a qualified Chinese herbalist. |

You will not need to see them often, but

Then you need good constitutional care.
Not to sound like a broken record, but
Chinese medicine's ability to strengthen
the immune system and constitutional
homeopathy are the best treatments for
candida in children. |

really helping |

whats this room about? |
|
13:20:07 |
Webmama_Tina |
i know he needs holistic care so i took
him to the homeopathic doc for a
remedy...but i know i need to get to the
root, if i can...homeopathic doc told me
you'll drive yourself crazy if you try
to figure out what he's allergic to"" |
|
13:20:19 |
Webmama_Tina |
what are your recommendations for
allergies like this? |
|
13:20:24 |
Webmama_Tina |
how do i figure out what's causing it? |
|
13:20:25 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Stop the steroids. Florasone is good
substitute cream that often helps. |
|
13:20:54 |
Webmama_Tina |
and he's sleeping HORRIBLY at nite, so
i'm hoping that everything will be
helped if i can just figure out what
he's allergic to |
|
13:21:09 |
Webmama_Tina |
florasone, is that something i find at a
place like whole foods? |
|
13:21:38 |
Webmama_Tina |
yeah i stopped the other cremes....she
just had me get over the counter
stuff...it didn't seem to help....i have
only been using aquaphor to keep his
skin hydrated |
|
13:21:42 |
RandallNeustaedter |
My approach is to stengthen the system
with constitutional herbs, Grow and
Thrive formula by Chinese Modular
Solutions, available from Kan Herbs, and
Fire Fighter to relieve the itching and
inflammation. These are pediatric
formulas. |
|
13:22:02 |

ok are those actual brand names then? |

Go to kanherb.com and you will see the

so your health care provider needs to
prescribe a program for you. |

allergies? |

Wheat is usually a stressor in these
kids. |
|
13:24:07 |
Webmama_Tina |
i haven't taken wheat out yet...should i
be taking one thing out at a time or
everything? |
|
13:24:57 |
RandallNeustaedter |
The only way to know about allergens is
to eliminate foods for 3 weeks then
reintroduce one at a time and see if the
skin gets much worse. Take all the
suspect foods out of the diet at the
same time. |
|
13:25:18 |

My daughter has a real problem with
warts (started out with 10+ on hands and
is down to 4-ish) and I was reading that
it could be related to a weak immune
system. We have been working on them
for 8+ months with the topical creams,
etc with bandaids and she is better, but
still getting new ones. My other
daughters are still bfeeding and have
not gotten any. I have an appointment
with a dermatologist, but should we be
treating it on an immunology level
instead? (She is my stepdaughter, so
has different biological beginnings than
my other two daughters, although I
realize that this may not be an issue.) |

how about the flouride toothpaste the
dentist gave? will that help or hurt or
neither? |
|
13:32:49 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Herbal formulas like Marrow Matters and
Strengthen Kidney by Chinese Modular
Solutions are appropriate. |
|
13:33:17 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Flouride doesn't do much. Xylitol
discourages the bacteria that cause
decay. |

could the deficiency in her teeth also
mean she may have the same deficiency in
her bones? |

My 23-month-old gets frequent colds, is
speech-delayed and has either eczema or
keratosis pilaris. I give him fish oils
and probiotics (I hope a good brand).
No great improvement so far. Anything
else I can do? |

I've also tried elimination diets to no

First of all speech delay in a 2 year
old is probably normal if there are no
other developmental concerns, depending
on what the delay is. For example if she
doesn't mimic sounds, that is not good.
On my website there is an article about
language delays. You can search for it. |
|
13:36:49 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Fish oil and probiotics are good, but
again not going to solve this alone. |
|
13:37:06 |
RandallNeustaedter |
She needs form immune strengthening. |
|
13:37:32 |
mom2jandw |
Oh, I'll look, thanks. He has been
evaluated and there are no other
concerns. Yes, I believe it must be an
immune issue. |
|

Chinese medicine is very good at this,
and that is why I use it so much in
Children. |
|
13:37:52 |
RandallNeustaedter |
I have good results with colostrum as
well. |
|
13:38:11 |
mom2jandw |
How do I get started/find a good chinese
herbalist? Colostrum? How do I find
that (other than giving birth, lol). Is
it the same thing? |
|
13:38:27 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Listen to the radio shows on immunity
and eczema at hpakids.org. |
|
13:38:42 |
mom2jandw |
Thank you very much. I will. |

My son (age 6) has white patches on his
face (only). On looking closely, it
seems like dry skin. Do you think this
may indicate a deficiency of some kind?
What can I give him orally or use
topically? |

White patches are either a sign of less
pigment in that area and tends to be
more prominent in the summer months with
tanning, or eczema. |
|
13:41:25 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Topical things do not work. We have
already been discussing eczema
treatment. See above. |

My son is 3.5 months and exclusively
breasfed. He only poops every 6-8 days.
I know this is common but in his case,
he literally screams *all day* the day
before and day of the pooping. He is
gaining wait and peeing just fine. |
|
13:41:40 |
soapdiva |
It comes out yellow, seedy and slightly
pasty like peanut butter. It seems
normal but is he constipated? Is there
anything I can do to reduce the pain to
make this easier? I give him probiotics. |

RandallNeustaedter |
CMS has a pediatric formula called Easy
Going that helps with constipation, and
constitutional homeopathy can be helpful
as well in a case like this, which
sounds like a sluggish digestive tract. |
|
13:43:36 |
soapdiva |
is that prescription? |
|
13:43:39 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Hard stools are a completely different
story. |
|
13:44:09 |
RandallNeustaedter |
There is also the issue of bowel holding
and the need to establish a regular
routine for the potty. |
|
13:44:23 |

Yes prescription. |

Hi Dr., I actually had 2 quick questions
here. First was that my 9 year old
always gets sick every fall/winter with
coughs that last a long time. The Dr.'s
told us before she had allergies and
prescribed Zertek. I don't like giving
these types of Meds... |
|
13:44:43 |
greentea226 |
What can I give her that would more
natural?? |
|
13:45:02 |

my second question is, how do you give a
toddler with eczema fish oil?? |

There is a good program for building the
respiratory system in Chinese medicine,
and we have spoken about those methods
here, and in my book Child Health Guide,
and on my website. This is an easy
condition to treat. |

I give cod liver oil to toddlers,
Carlson's lemon flavored works well. Or
Nordic Naturals strawberry DHA. |
|
13:47:15 |
RandallNeustaedter |
250-500 mg DHA is great. |

My 8 mo. old continues to get yeast
diaper rashes, and actually my 2 1/2 yr
old does too. They go away with
anti-fungal cream but they keep coming
back. Probiotics don't seem to help.
threelac only helped for awhile. If
parasites, what can I do (nursing) |

Get them a stool test at the
pediatrician if you are worried about
big parasites like these. |

Don't start treating something like this
