What to do when your child gets sick?

Written by Laura Shoemaker- DIHom

Welcome!

This is a protocol that me and my pediatrician colleagues have been using for 10 years with success.

Now I will share it with you!

This is meant for the onset of getting sick. If things progress, you would need to call me for a consultation to find a specific remedy to support you based on the totality of your symptoms.

Remember, I am not an MD nor do I claim to be! It’s recommended to see your doctor for diagnosis.

All supplements are available on Amazon, your local health, food store, or directly by the manufacturer. I like the brand, Boiron for homeopathic remedies and for a homeopathic kit I recommend Miranda Castro‘s 200 C kit, online.

Protocol

1- At ONSET of any symptom homeopathic Ferrum Phos 6x, 4 pellets in a cup of water. Give a spoonful or a sip of this water after stirring every hour for the first 24 hours of cold flu, fever, cough, etc. parentheses waking hours only this has been shown to stop or slow the process of infection or a virus.

2- NON-GMO Emergen-C packs: 2 a day for adults and 1 1/2 for kids. Or any vitamin C. Mix one full pack with a half cup of water and drink down throughout the day. For children under two, check with Dr. first. Any type of vitamin C is acceptable.

3- COLLOIDAL SILVER (Sovereign Silver is a brand I like): one dropper full 3 to 4 times a day. Do not take more than 10 days.

4- IMMUNE FORMULA BY KIDSWELLNESS: 4 times a day. Follow instructions on the bottle.

5- Eliminate dairy, dairy causes mucus. almond, oat or coconut milk. If the child is breast-fed or a formula fed baby, check with your doctor first.

INSTRUCTIONS

Do not suppress fevers.

Fevers are our own bodies, defense mechanisms to burn off viruses or bacteria. If we lower the fever, we are left with a virus or bacteria and nothing to kill it. Antibiotics do not kill a virus.

Tylenol or Advil, (acetaminophens) will not kill bacteria or a virus. It is best to leave a fever alone and let it do its work of burning the illness.

If we do so, you will see that the illness should be short-lived. If we suppress the fevers, you will see that the illness will be prolonged. If you feel the absolute need to suppress the fever here are the following tips:

• ● A high temperature would be considered 104
• ● Bring the fever down to a more comfortable temperature of approximately 102
• ● Do not put a cool cloth on the forehead. This sends a message to the body to warm up the area and could raise the fever in the head. We want to pull the fever from the head into the feet. Therefore, place room temperature, wet claws on the lower part of the body and feet. You may also take a bath in room temperature bath water.
• ● Vinegar and water, equal parts. Rub and folds of skin on arms, legs, neck, and ankles.
• ● Use Homeopathic belladonna 30 C or 200 C every 10 to 15 minutes in water for one hour. Stop using when fever is reducing.
• ● If all this fails, then use Tylenol,, but only in a small amount enough to drop it to a comfortable 102.
• ● For coughing, use a warm steam mask inhaler. 70% saline 30% colloidal silver.

I’m looking forward to working with you and your family.
