my son (3.5) is a VERY restless sleeper
-- wakes many times a night and cries
immediately -- is there anything
homeopathic, diet, or otherwise that
might help? I am a walking zombie
because his sleep habits are ruining my
own sleep. |

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. |

Hi Webmama--I just joined as well--I
have a question too. |
|
13:17:20 |
RandallNeustaedter |
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. |

Hi...My 5yo daughter has eczema. She
sees a naturopath who has recommended
flaxseed oil, sulpher, and hydrating the
skin with nonscented lotions. She is
unvazed, vegetarian and i buy only
organic. there seems to be no relation
to dairy allergy in her out |
|
13:20:21 |

Go to the website and ask the
manufacturer. |

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. |
|
13:23:38 |
RandallNeustaedter |
Anything else? |
|
13:23:43 |

how do i give her the Vit E? |

Stick a hole in the capsule and put it
into food. |

I am a new mommy to an 8mo daughter who

issue to make a solid decision and feel
COMFORTABLE WITH IT. My main problem is

should I start? |

My question is in regards to chicken
pox.......do you believe it is better to
expose a child (3 yr old) to someone
that already has the pox or just take my
chances she picks it up someone else
from someone that doesn't have the pox
yet? |

kids colostrum, fish oil, vit e, vit c,
and organic foods (as much natural
antioxidant containing fruits and veges
as they will eat) |

What is the difference between holistic,
homeopathic, naturopathic, and Chinese
herbal? Also, do you have traditional
(allopathic) training as well? (BTW,
JayGordon has a great web site, too.) |

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
acupuncturist and homeopath by training. |

can do to treat them other than using
antibiotics, if possible? Thank you! |

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. |
