Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hi all I have several questions. First of all I did try to do a search to look and see if there was past messages about cleanses for children but I got everything with cleanses and could not narrow it down to just for children/infants any suggestion to for further use would be great. SO here are my questions How long should I use the cleanse for kids for? I have a 1 year old who I have been in the process of switching over to organic foods for the last 4 months. She eats a lot of organic fruits and vegetable and organic meat. I started giving her TN but so far have only gotten a sip or two a day into her. I have breastfeed her, she was on antibiotics once (Before I found this great site I have since healed 2 ear infections without them), and she has been vaccinated (still trying to work that one out). She has an average of 2 bowel movements a day. She has a slight rash on her back that comes and goes reminds me of some sort of allergic reaction but I think it may be her body trying to cleanse out toxins allergins etc. In addition to that I need to know if I should be giving her echinachea or anything else to help with any healing crisis like you would do for an adult. Last I started her on a dropper full and within 15 minutes she had really loose stools. I am assuming I should drop back to a 1/2 a dropper full until she has 3-4 bowel movements a day. Thanks for answering my questions. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Dear Blue, The Cleanse is the same for kids, except you have to take the 150 Rule into account. What this does is give you dosages for children. Doc Christopher's dosage formula is still the best I know of and I use it exclusively all the time. It's called the 150 rule. Take a person's weight and put that figure over 150. Reduce the resultant fraction down to its smallest common denominator and you have your dosage. I never go by age as that is too uncertain. You may have a six month old who weighs 15 lbs or 30 lbs depending on genetic makeup, health, etc. I would give these two babies totally different dosages though I might start both on just one drop of a tincture. Using the above rule, it would work out this way: Baby #1 @ 15 lbs would get this dosage. 15/150 reduces to 1/10th the normal dosage. Baby #2 @ 30 lbs would get this dosage. 30/150 reduces to 1/5th the normal dosage. When it comes to babies and the elderly who are really sick, I will test "one drop" on the patients tongue to see if there is any adverse reaction first, and if none, will work up to the above formula dosages usually within the first day, always monitoring as I go along and increasing the dosage. I've given Cayenne to very young children starting with drops and ending with dropperfuls to tremendous results. Hope this helps.
