Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Is it safe for children to do a week on week off of echinacea just like adults do to keep their immune system " firing " ??? I'm looking for something to keep my sons immune system going. He doesn't go to school but seems like when a kid in his karate class has something he catches it. He takes vitamins, cellfood, lemon egg and eats an organic diet every day but he's also very finicky about what goes in his mouth-- taste, texture the whole thing. Thought if I could squeeze some ech drops (child form) under his tongue that would keep him going. I figure if it's good for us it's good for them...is that right???

YES it is totally OK. Just remember the 150 Rule in the Files. You can always mix it in with his morning Orange Juice and he'll never know it's there. :-) Doc I'm looking for something to keep my sons immune system going.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Find a reputable company that sells elderberry chewables. Some companies have it in liquid too. That should work pretty good for them. You could also get them on some good antioxidants (A,C,E, selenium, zinc)combo. I'm sure that Doc has something that I am not familiar with that he has available.
