12:10:13 |
leaflady |
Am I here yet? |
|
12:10:20 |
miiniicooper |
I see you |
|
12:10:58 |
leaflady |
Well I am happy to be here and I'll be happy to try and
answer any questions |
|
12:11:32 |
miiniicooper |
I don't really have any... this is my first time here
and I just came to see what it was all about.. sorry.. I
wasn't really prepared to ask any questions. |
|
12:11:52 |
leaflady |
I am an herbalist and do natural health care,

|
|
12:12:02 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
okay I think we are all in the same room now |
|
12:12:37 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
Gayle, do you treat children and or pregnant women? |
|
12:12:54 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
HI Turbo Claudia |
|
12:13:13 |
leaflady |
My youngest client has been less than one month of age
and I currently have a yoiung woman who is expecting #2 |
|
12:13:21 |
TurboClaudia |
hi sarah and gayle and minicooper |
|
12:13:30 |
leaflady |
Hi TC |
|
12:13:36 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
Hi! Do you have any questions for Gayle? |
|
12:13:39 |
miiniicooper |
hi Claudia :) |
|
12:14:27 |
TurboClaudia |
i'm thinking, but my little guy is showing me his
newfound skill of clapping right now... :) |
|
12:14:40 |
leaflady |
I might mention the issue of toxins in baby care items,
clothing, etc. |
|
12:14:54 |
miiniicooper |
what kind of items? |
|
12:15:36 |
miiniicooper |
We don't use any soap or shampoo on my 16 month old, and
we use natural oils to moisturize |
|
12:16:01 |
leaflady |
well I notice a lot of moms that do not breast eed use
polycarbonate plastic bottles and use the microwave to
heat them. This causes harm from the plastic and
changes in the formula |
|
12:16:18 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
I'm only breatsfeeding |
|
12:16:24 |
leaflady |
That is a good concept to use natural non- toxic,
organic ols in glass bottle |
|
12:16:44 |
leaflady |
yea! for Sarah |
|
12:16:52 |
miiniicooper |
are there such things as glass bottles these days? |
|
12:16:56 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
I've got a question, for you, Gayle, if no one else does |
|
12:17:15 |
leaflady |
I think you can get formula bottles in glass |
|
12:17:20 |
leaflady |
Yes Sarah |
|
12:17:26 |
miiniicooper |
I too breastfeed... I only use glass for the food he
gets.. except his water cup and his bottles when he does
get EBM in a bottle |
|
12:17:49 |
leaflady |
what is EBM? |
|
12:17:56 |
miiniicooper |
Expressed Breast Milk |
|
12:17:57 |
miiniicooper |
sorry |
|
12:18:00 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
How do you treat eczema? My daguhter had it... but it
is now mostly gone, I think from my dietary changes |
|
12:18:06 |
leaflady |
ok my kids are in the 40s |
|
12:18:42 |
leaflady |
Sarah, if you are breastfeeding then eczema will usually
come from your dietary changes |
|
12:18:59 |
miiniicooper |
is it true that dairy is a bit factor in eczema? |
|
12:19:04 |
miiniicooper |
bit = big |
|
12:19:21 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
I've noticed that... |
|
12:19:24 |
leaflady |
essential fatty acids may be lacking |
|
12:19:39 |
leaflady |
dairy is NOT always a cause of eczema |
|
12:19:43 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
I've been taking more of those plus pro-biotics |
|
12:20:13 |
leaflady |
pro-biotics are very good as a health promoting
supplement |
|
12:20:27 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
If I eat brownies (even gluten free, dairy free, white
sugar free, some of her skin will get reddish |
|
12:20:49 |
TurboClaudia |
our naturopath recommended probiotics and some Udo's oil
for our son's eczema-like rash on his belly a few weeks
ago. |
|
12:21:00 |
leaflady |
what kind of sugar in the recipe, could be that the
chocolate is too concentrated. |
|
12:21:12 |
TurboClaudia |
how old is your baby sarah? |
|
12:21:29 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
oh, it is Pamela's gluten free brownies, they supposedly
have molasses and honey |
|
12:21:38 |
leaflady |
Udo's oil is not a good choice although ti is a good
product. Best to use codliver oil because of the
vitamin A, the skin oil, or olive oil |
|
12:21:40 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
she is almost 9 mo old |
|
12:22:05 |
leaflady |
maybebe too much sweetness for a baby and the chocolate. |
|
12:22:09 |
TurboClaudia |
what about udo's makes it not a best choice? |
|
12:22:14 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
What kind of FA do you recommend the mother take
internally |
|
12:23:23 |
leaflady |
it is a myriad of oils, babies and small children do not
always have the ability to handle oil, and also t many
unsaturated oils promote poor health especially
thyroidoo |
|
12:23:44 |
leaflady |
organic extra virgin oilive oil |
|
12:24:02 |
TurboClaudia |
he's 10 months old. is it still not a good choice? |
|
12:24:17 |
TurboClaudia |
i think he's had one cold in his entire life so far... |
|
12:24:41 |
leaflady |
probably any time over age 2 for more variety in oils
but still limit the amount and never use caola because
it is toxic to the liverb |
|
12:24:58 |
TurboClaudia |
ok, thanks |
|
12:25:24 |
leaflady |
I mean Canola oil - toxic to the liver |
|
12:25:25 |
miiniicooper |
can you tell me about flax oil please? |
|
12:25:52 |
miiniicooper |
that cleans out the liver doesn't it? |
|
12:26:03 |
leaflady |
flax is very good for health but there are some concerns
about its use for men, there is a discussion about that
on my men's health page at www.leaflady.org |
|
12:26:06 |
TurboClaudia |
are you familiar with E-lyte oil? it's unrefined
organic sunflower seed oil and flax seed oil. |
|
12:26:44 |
leaflady |
Flax lignans help the liver by increasing the function
of the gall bladder from the fiber. |
|
12:27:13 |
leaflady |
sunflower is a good oil in certain situation, often in
weight loss |
|
12:27:28 |
leaflady |
it contains CLA |
|
12:27:41 |
TurboClaudia |
CLA??? |
|
12:27:42 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
what's that? |
|
12:27:59 |
leaflady |
conjugated linoleic acids |
|
12:28:26 |
leaflady |
helps break down fat deposits but needs exercise to make
it work efficiently |
|
12:28:55 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
What oils should the mother take internally while
breastfeeding? I've been taking Udo's too, and cod
liver occasionally |
|
12:30:46 |
leaflady |
I am much more for cod liver oil, Carlsons is an
excellent brand. It is very suportive of health and
immunity, growth and other things. I also suggest 1 pat
of organic butter because the combination of butter and
cod liver oil makes the benefit exponetially mre
effective. My cat is here now so I may have more typos |
|
12:31:14 |
miiniicooper |
lmao |
|
12:31:26 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
Interesting about the butter! |
|
12:31:27 |
TurboClaudia |
hee hee |
|
12:31:56 |
miiniicooper |
hi kitty |
|
12:32:00 |
miiniicooper |
i miss mine |
|
12:32:04 |
leaflady |
read more about it on Weston A. Price Foundation or
Price-Pottenger. There is a lot of research on this. |
|
12:32:42 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
Have you ever heard of chinese pearl powder cream? |
|
12:32:50 |
leaflady |
kitty is named Jasper his picture is on my web site pet
page. |
|
12:32:51 |
TurboClaudia |
i remember reading about the benefits of butter in the
Nourishing Traditions cookbook, too. |
|
12:33:14 |
leaflady |
Pearl powder, ancient uses, but becareful of the
ingredients in the cream base |
|
12:33:21 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
It has helped the eczema but I am wondering if you have
any thought about it |
|
12:33:26 |
leaflady |
Nourishing Traditions is excellent! |
|
12:34:28 |
leaflady |
many cosmetic items have synthetic chemical ingredients
that are not teseted in combination and they are
connected with various illnesses. |
|
12:34:54 |
TurboClaudia |
not really a mommy or child question, but do you have
any recommendations for lowering cholesterol that do not
involve taking lipitor? |
|
12:35:04 |
leaflady |
Many! |
|
12:35:36 |
leaflady |
Lipitor is totally unnecessary! and very dangerous, can
lead to muscle wasting, kidney failure and death |
|
12:35:58 |
leaflady |
Low thyroid states are a cause of elevated cholesterol |
|
12:36:28 |
leaflady |
low thyroid is very common in moms and where fluoride is
in the water |
|
12:37:10 |
TurboClaudia |
i'm actually asking on behalf of my dad, who is also
diabetic. |
|
12:37:39 |
TurboClaudia |
i will ask him whether his thyroid has been checked
lately |
|
12:37:43 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
My sister in law has 220 cholesterol and 2 sons |
|
12:38:28 |
leaflady |
diabets is also a low or imparied thyroid condition.
Niacin is one method, Wild Bear's garlic, severl others
but it should be tailored to the person. Also if
diabetic never use any of the synthetic sweeteners
especailly Splenda now |
|
12:38:43 |
leaflady |
220 is not high! |
|
12:38:54 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
oh, she thought it was |
|
12:39:21 |
leaflady |
Usually over 252 is when you might want to start doing
some natural treatment, but some people have natually
high cholesterol and the medical folks do not get this |
|
12:39:52 |
leaflady |
Triglyceride levels that are high will be harmfulas will
high homocysteiene |
|
12:39:55 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
Thanks I will let her know |
|
12:40:08 |
leaflady |
It is marketing hype |
|
12:41:03 |
miiniicooper |
is there anything bad about coconut oil? |
|
12:41:46 |
leaflady |
To properly check thyroid you need free T3 free T4 and
TSH ultrasenstive at a minimum, you cannot infer the T3
from T4 and TSH no matter what the doctros say. |
|
12:42:07 |
leaflady |
Coconut oil is in organic form an excellent oil to use
in cooking. |
|
12:42:51 |
leaflady |
You can make great ice cream from natural value cocnut
milk and frozen organic bananas |
|
12:44:04 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
The other day I cleaned our cats litter box, which my
husband usually does, Afterwards my clothes were smeling
like ammonia, but not thinking anything of it, put my
baby the the sling so she was right next to me. A few
minutes later she started itching and had hives all over
her body! Obviously the ammonia wasn't good for her,
but should I be concerned about her having an
anaphylatic reaction? |
|
12:45:32 |
leaflady |
There are many hazards from cat litter. Maybe your baby
has a higher histamine level than most people but then
the immune system is often less functional until about
two as are the digestive enzymes. |
|
12:45:45 |
leaflady |
I would maybe have given more water to flush the system |
|
12:46:25 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
I put her in the bathtub with baking sda |
|
12:46:42 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
and also of course showered myself |
|
12:46:51 |
leaflady |
good idea, it might also have een the dust from the cat
litter that she might have brathed |
|
12:46:59 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
oh! |
|
12:47:09 |
leaflady |
water will dilute histamine |
|
12:47:21 |
Mod_SarahPhD |
ok |
|
12:47:46 |
