Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 Doc, Caused by the cephalosporin, cefzil in a 12 month old infant. Now he can no longer walk. Fevers, lack of appetite, weight loss, the whole nine yards. It was diagnosed for an ear infection. He has many allergies so why this drug wasn't allergy tested with him is beyond me. He is currently on goat's milk. He has been forced to undergo a battery of tests that have eliminated every disease known to man and they still refuse to diagnose serum sickness for their new penicillin replacement even though it does affect many infants in this way. Because his immune system is already fighting his own protiens I am afraid of recommending boosting it at the moment? Any comments on that? He is allergic to soy, so natural cortisone is not an option here. And eventually they will want to prescribe prednisone which for serum sickness is the worst thing you can do. The quick fix....sheesh Because MSM is so awsome for pain of any kind and healing we have him on that. She has trusted my advice thus far and kept him off of cortisones but is desperate for some relief for her son. I understand that even one dose of an antibiotic can be life changing and even deadly, serum sickness is only one of many side effects of using them. Serum sickness can last a few weeks and it can also last indefinately. This tiny tot who can no longer walk or even wear shoes has been struck down now for about 5 weeks. Anything you can dig up on this would be helpful, I am not finding much in the way of a " cure " , maybe I am not looking in the right places. I may add it is almost impossible to get things down him by mouth, he is having trouble swallowing, and is puking up anything administered in this way, and will not voluntarily take anything but his goat's milk. That's why he isn't yet on the buffered powdered vitamin C. His MRI's show nothing which is encouraging, at least his tendons aren't blown.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2001 Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 Whewww! What a mess. What about organic fresh juices? This is the first place I'd turn to with the limited data you've given me. Organic carrot juice. Organic freshly made apple juice (not the store bought stuff in this case).

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2001 Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 Doc, I bought his mom a very nice juicer several years ago and must have been the Lord, I told her to begin making him carrot juice and adding it to his milk if he wouldn't take it straight, she's been trying. The baby has had three good days in a row now, well better days anyway. Before his dad knew he had serum sickness he gave him flora to combat some of these antibiotics and he woke up in severe pain in every joint, screaming severly. Has been in this severe pain since. Makes me a little nervous to boost the immune system right now, probably would them too. She is going to take him to the chiropractor next week, but he has to have more MRI's tomorrow. They of course have to put him to sleep to do this, this is the second time since the serum sickness. The only food he takes is goat's milk, he is allergic to cow's milk and soy. I'll tell her about the carrot juice again, and if you can think of anything else to help the damage or pain.......as always it would be appreciated. He was born tongue tied and after they clipped it, he never did swallow right and they thought it was due to his being tongue tied. They thought he felt he still was. I do not buy that, didn't then and do not now. He still has trouble swallowing " food " . Thank you very much Many Blessings, hr herbal remedies, " Ian Shillington N.D.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 See answers below Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington - holyrolr herbal remedies Friday, November 30, 2001 3:54 AM [herbal remedies] Re: serum sickness Doc, I bought his mom a very nice juicer several years ago and must have been the Lord, I told her to begin making him carrot juice and adding it to his milk if he wouldn't take it straight, she's been trying. The baby has had three good days in a row now, well better days anyway. This is good. I'd also recommend 1 to 3 drops of both Echinacea Tincture and the Total Tonic Tincture. This will help. Before his dad knew he had serum sickness he gave him flora to combat some of these antibiotics and he woke up in severe pain in every joint, screaming severly. Has been in this severe pain since. Makes me a little nervous to boost the immune system right now, probably would them too. If it makes you nervous, start with only one drop of the above tinctures, but I'd recommend you start. She is going to take him to the chiropractor next week, may help if he is out of alignment and worth a try, but he has to have more MRI's tomorrow e-gads! This is dangerous on a young child of his age. Ask 'em for a guaratnee of "no side effects" and watch 'em dance. They of course have to put him to sleep to do this, this is the second time since the serum sickness. This is dangerous and the drugs they use can have very serious side effects. Make them sign a responsibility waiver. The only food he takes is goat's milk, This is the best! he is allergic to cow's milk and soy. I'll tell her about the carrot juice again, and if you can think of anything else to help the damage or pain.......as always it would be appreciated. Freshly juiced apple juice in small quantities (start off with a teaspoonful), any other freshly made juice you can think of would be good, but test with a small quantity first. I'd also start him off with one drop (and work up to about 10) of USP Pharmaceutical grade DMSO to help realign his DNA. This could be the biggest help to him ever.He was born tongue tied and after they clipped it, he never did swallow right and they thought it was due to his being tongue tied. They thought he felt he still was. I do not buy that, didn't then and do not now. He still has trouble swallowing "food". My God what they do to our children! Go with your own instincts here hon, and call me if you need to. Love, Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
