Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 Doc: Hi, I'm new to the list, been on for about 4 days now, very interesting information.... I worked in a health food store in NM for 10 yrs (Now in Oregon) and I grew up in an "herbal" home environment and I am trying to raise my kids the same way. So I have a question or two.... I noticed a post the other day about oil of oregano for parasites.... My Mom swears that my son has parasites, and she has some herbal and homeopathic med's that she wants to give him, I'm going to let her as she keeps him on the weekends.... I don't know how she "Knows" but she's always right. So my question is.... Can the oil of Oregano be used on a 5 yr old? and if so how much and when.... and for how long.... What are some of the symptoms of having parasites? I know he's extremely high strung (almost to the point of uncontrollable when he spirals), he has developed some shadows under his eyes, he does have problems with his bowels, he'll be fine for a day or two and then he'll be constipated for a day or two... I have been playing with the idea of cutting his sugar intake and taking him off of dairy... But with all my knowledge in weight loss/ nutrition, workouts and health supplements along with herbs etc... I never dealt with children (on this type of level) so thinking up a Nutritional plan that is GOOD for kids, but that all of us could live with is tough, or maybe I'm just making it that way..... : ) Thank you for your time!!

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 Kathie, I'm Elaine, another member. I just wanted to share something our old people here in Southern Florida used to say. So don't get grossed out. When a kid's ears were much lighter than the rest of the face they would say that the child was "wormy". They used to make a worm pill of yellow sulfur(Ian, what would that be???) and pine resin and roll them up into little balls. I have no clue what the doseage was, but I have grown up with the knowlege that my mothers grandma treated people with homemade remedies. Too bad the family didn't pay more attention. I would love to know all her recipes now! love,Elaine - Kathie herbal remedies Friday, March 02, 2001 1:36 PM [herbal remedies] Children/Parasites/Oil of Oregano Doc: Hi, I'm new to the list, been on for about 4 days now, very interesting information....

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 Dear Kathie, I think the Oil of Oregano will help but may not do the full job. The three main herbs for parasites are Black Walnut Hulls, Wormwood, and Hyssop. The other thing that concerns me is his constipation and sugar intake. And what about his white flour intake? Parasites thrive in a white sugar, white flour environment. Once you knock off those, I'd then worry about whether or not he has a milk allergy. Many many children have been labelled ADD or ADHD and put on psychiatric drugs (ritalin) simply because they were getting a bad diet that was high in white sugar and white flour. A real shame. Ya gotta cut him back on those. What I'd recommend is my Intestinal Cleanse #1 formula to handle the parasites and to get his bowels cleansed and moving again. Send me a private e-mail or better yet give me a call and we can go over the program.
