Natural remedies wanted PLUS vaccine issue!

July 3, 2004

My daughter has a bad sinus infection, plus poison ivy, plus a sore

on top of her head that won't heal (she has always been a VERY slow

healer). I know some of this is due to a poorly functioning immune

system. I know changing our diet is going to help. But she's sick

TODAY. I put first oil of oregano, then tea tree oil on the sores and

poison ivy. I gave her some homeopathic remedy tablets for colds/flu.

I gave her extra vitamin C. I gave her astragalus, echinacea, and

goldenseal drops. I put a eucalyptus chest rub on her. I don't have a

whole lot of other remedies here at home right now, but I can get

them. Any ideas for any of these three problems, anyone?

As to the vaccine issue: My 5yo is due for immunizations this month.

My husband WILL NOT LISTEN when I tell him how harmful they are. I

have tried to get him to understand for six years now, and it will

not happen. Please don't send me advice as to how to talk to him, or

things to read--it WILL NOT HAPPEN. So--my question is this: What can

I do to minimize the harm from them? I have heard about giving

vitamins or some other natural substances, before and after the

immunizations, to minimize the strsss on the system. I also know a

LITTLE about eliminating heavy metals and toxins from the body, but

not enough to DO anything in this way. Can anyone give me some

specific advice?

Please help! Marilyn

RE: sinus infection – You do not state the age of your daughter

Inhalation of Tea Tree oil and OLBAS oil and oregano that contains many herbs including Eucalyptus 2-3 drops in hot but not boiling water as it will scald the face and lungs.

WARNING: DO NOT GIVE INHALATIONS TO ANY ASTHMA SUFFERER.

I do not know what to do about poison ivy because where I live it in England does not exist.

RE: immunisation -

You can minimise some of the harm regarding immunisations by finding a herbalist and getting the appropriate dose of Milk Thistle and vitamin B12 so that the liver can excrete any heavy metals and other toxins.

Keep the child quiet for about 3-4 days to reduce a shock to the body and help prevent any chance of encephalomyelitis. A light sedative such as Phenergan or Piriton (anti-histamines) suitable for a child given twice during the day will keep them at rest.

Give a light diet so that his/her body is allowed to rest as much as possible. The diet needs to be nutritious without the need for lot of digestive processes. Below is are suggestions to help with diet.

Honey with bread or pancakes or scrambled eggs for breakfast will keep the diet light.

Food reduced in bulk by steaming and using a liquidiser is much more easily digested and the goodness absorbed than if you give say cooked or raw vegetables in the normal way. Making homemade soup for a midday meal would be helpful.

Avoid heavy foods that contain high fat like beef burghers because they are hard to digest.

Ensure that the body is eliminating waste daily to prevent build up of toxins.

WARNING: Please do not try to give adult doses of any herb or medication; this must be done through an herbal practitioner

If you wish to write to me directly, I could help you with some of the problems that are causing her poor immune function. I have suffered with M.E. for more than 34 years so I have a LOT of experience in keeping my body on an even keel.
