started feeling bad on Sunday and we just thought she was constipated. Then, she

went back and forth between constipation and diarrhea. I gave her lots of good

fats: coconut oil, butter, etc.

anything else besides water for both and tea for the older one. They both slept

for hours during the day and went to sleep earlier than usual.

some essential oils to her feet. This is the first time she has ever vomited in

her 8 years of life. She was very scared.

today so I am imagine he might have it tomorrow), I am worried, he is only 3

years old and he could get dehydrated easily.

+++Hi ,

Fats are not taken alone by mouth as a treatment, except by the teaspoon to help

curb cravings. Getting fats up to a high level is helpful for constipation but

it doesn't cure it either.

Fats work with many other nutrients, like other foods and the supplements do, so

they are taken with meals containing meats or eggs. They are added in some

recipes like Bee's Egg Drink too, or melted over foods after they are cooked, or

added to soup, stew, etc.

If you gave them lots of fats and they were not used to taking that much it will

cause more healing and detoxifying reactions, so I think that is what caused

your daughter to vomit.

First, do not give anyone extra fats alone, except as noted above.

Also they need nutrients when they are sick so water and tea aren't enough.

Instead give them Bee's Egg Drink or Mineral-Rich Bone Broths - search on my

website for the recipes.

Would you describe your children's symptoms when you write they are " feeling

bad " and then I can advise you.

Well, they are used to high good fats but I wanted them to get a little more.

What I meant when I said I gave them lots of coconut oil and butter is that I

made a recipe for coconut pancakes that calls for eggs and coconut oil and

butter, baking powder, and some shredded coconut to hold it together into a

pancake. That's all they ate yesterday.

They are sleepy, tired, and not playing as much as they usually do. My daughter

usually sings all day and draws and has not done either since Saturday. She

won't have the egg drink. My son likes the egg drink so I will make that for him

in the morning for breakfast.

They both have very little appetite, also unusual. They are turning down

everything I try to offer them. They love eggs and on Sunday, I made a crustless

quiche with eggs, butter, meat. They love this meal and neither of them will eat

it so dh ate it last night.

I'm trying to make sure they drink water and dd has had 2 cups of tea today and

1 cup of water. Ds is not wanting to drink much and has only had about 2 cups of

water today.

Should I give extra vitamin C? Another epsom salt bath??

Thanks Bee. I can't believe I forgot about the egg drink.

+++, it is normal to have low energy, not be happy as usual, have less

appetite, and to feel tired when a person is detoxifying, but that doesn't mean

you " must " treat it.

So I do not advise any special treatments. They are healing and detoxifying

like they should, which is a good thing. Such feelings and symptoms will come

and go, so do not be concerned Mom. You could do things so you are a less

anxious mom, like take an epsom salt bath. : )

All the best, Bee
