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 |

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 |

problems today. |

13:19:31 |
RandallNeustaedter |
KateDWJMERMJ there are treatments for
the symptoms, but there may be some
limitations whenever genetic disorders
underlie a condition. |
|
13:19:48 |

|

I would certainly seek an expert opinion
from a holistic pediatrician. |

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
sx's?" |

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 |

CMS is a brand. You can investigate them
at www.kanherb.com. They are in the
Gentle Warriors line. |

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 |

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
Pac Northwest. I have been warned to
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? |

Gavinsmom |
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 |
