I'm pretty sure none of this will work if you wash it down with a Slurpee!! Here goes:
Acidophilus - Every day my kids take a supplement with their breakfast. I don't believe in gummy vitamins. I use Chewable Acidophilus by American Health. It is milk-free, vegetarian and supplies 115 mg of lactobacillus - the good bacteria that your gut needs to offset the bad bacteria contained in animal products and preservatives.
Perfect Food - Every other day I switch out the acidophilus for Perfect Food. They hate it - I don't care. Perfect Food is a barley green product which provides 100 raw dried vegetables and their necessary chlorophyll (for oxygenation). I only serve them 3-5 oz dissolved in water.
Tea Tree Oil - I love this product. It works for all upper respiratory. Tea tree is a natural antiseptic and bacterial killer. For sinus infections, colds and sore throats: put one drop on one clean finger and swab it across the back of your tongue, use a different clean finger and swab a drop in each ear, use yet another clean finger and put a drop up each nostril.
Throat Coat Tea - Made by Traditional Medicinals, my girls love a cup of hot tea in a beautiful tea cup even when they don't have a cold. Make sure they place their nose over the steam from the cup in between sips to maximize the benefit.
Potato Nap - Here's a crazy one! If your child has a sore throat, take an old panty hose, cut off the panty and the foot of one leg. Slice a raw potato and fan the slices out inside the panty hose. Tie the hose/potato around their neck and tie loosely before they take a nap or go to bed for the night. Potatoes absorb toxins through the skin. Never forget how permeable the epidermis is - not only can you medicate through the skin, you can pull toxins out through the skin.
"To use an old remedy, take slices of potatoes
and use as a pack over any congested part of the body. This type of pack
draws out static, toxic material, or venous congestion in any part of the
body. Use a narrow, thumb-shaped piece of potato to help correct
hemorrhoid conditions."
Foods The Heal
Dr. Bernard Jensen
Foot Rub - Speaking pf permeable epidermis - before bed, if your child is sick, put Vicks, tea tree oil or garlic (Kyolic garlic is great but stains) all over your child's feet and put socks on them. This will open their sinuses through the night.
Head Massage - If your child has phlegm, mucous, congestion or even a sore throat, use a hand massager (the Brookstone type) on their head. This vibrates the scalp and encourages blood flow to the head. The increased blood flow will help break up the mucous.
Water - This is your number one medicine. No matter what the illness, your first move is to hand them a bottle of water and tell them to drink the entire thing. Then hand them some apple slices. Tell them that they will poop out the illness. When you give them the nutritional fuel to fight the disease and then stimulate the system with a mental suggestion to eliminate the disease, you are teaching your child how their body works.
"Antibiotic resistance is a fact of bacterial
life, and it is a difficulty that the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has made far more serious than it used to be. Since antibiotics are routinely added to chicken feed and other agricultural products, the proportion of resistant
organisms increases every year. This problem is compounded by the large number of doctors who prescribe an antibiotic without first determining whether
the disease they wish to treat is due to a susceptible
organism."
