Re: What to give when they're sick

[Guest guest]

Hi, its probably Die-off which has all the symptoms of a really bad head

cold.

Try Activated Charcoal and Buffered Vit C, Zinc. Be careful with the Vit C

as it can cause diareaha SP?...

Good Luck

Dear Lori:

When my kids get a stuffy nose. I stop all dairy (this includes butter and

ghee) and give them humibid. Humibid is guaifenisen (expectorant)can be

purchased over the counter now and it has no artificial colors and flavors. I

didn't remember the ages of your children. (If your child does not swallow pills

- maybe crush the pill in banana but the stuff tastes terrible) There are also

forms of sudafed with no artificial colors and flavors to keep them from

clogging up and getting and infection. Saliene nasal spray or gel for their

noses. And, lots of SCD chicken soup. Humidifiers and epson salt baths work

wonders too. Good Luck! I hope this helps. Eileen Brown

ps. just to let you know I read on a fibromyalgia web site that foods high in

salycilates reduce the effectiveness of guaifenisen (I have never paid careful

attention to this)

I agree with everything that Eileen wrote, but to add to it--we use

DiabeticTussin. It is liquid and contains only guaifenisen. We get it at

our local pharmacy, but I have seen it at Wal-Mart/K-Mart, etc. It tastes

horrible, but my kids do take it without too much grief. Good luck.

I was just looking up humibid because I also need something to aide

in decongesting, but it looks like this is more for a cough,

correct? I did notice while reading about it that it said:

Do not break, crush, or chew extended-release tablets and do not

open extended-release capsules; swallow them whole

Has anyone ever had motrin, decongestents compounded?

Thanks,

Darci
