OMG! I just thought of something that may be very important in helping to solve my sweet daughters health issues.
When she was 2 and 4 months old she was given a LIVE rotavirus oral vaccine!!!! She projectile vomited for days afterwards. What if this darn virus has taken residency in her little digestive system and has taken over?
A virus, the rotavirus deliberately given to her......can I cry now or later? What's the use! Time for action, right?
She's taking grapefruit seed extract and probiotics. Is this enough for rotavirus?

Well, that is certainly a piece of information you would want to tell the homeopath. Homeopathy is sometimes very effective in reversing the bad effects of vaccination.

My daughter is the same. Still has all her symptoms regardless of taking a ton of health enhancing substances.
I'll be starting Lycopodium as soon as I get some brandy to make the remedy. ABC Homeopath is helping me with this.
I have a question about taking immune system enhancers. I make bread and soup often and put various herbs including astragalus which enhances the immune system. I've always thought it was wonderful to do this but now I'm not so sure because it hasn't helped my daughter.
I'm starting to wonder if I'm using too many immune system enhancing substances in our eating program that may be increasing the activity of her out of whack immune system. Just a theory I've been wondering about.
Any thoughts?
Health can be so tricky and complicated can't it? BLAH!
If she is to start homeopathy I would eliminate all herbs and all essential oils if you happen to be using them. Obivously they haven't been workin anyway. You need to clear the plate so that her symptoms are stictly her symptoms and not any reaction to an herbal or whatever... the homoepath needs a clear and unaffected picture of who she is. Keep her on all the good foods you give. I would also stop the grapefruit seen extract. Did you tell the homeopath all the stuff she takes? (im just amazed that she is willing to do all of that for you )
I am curious as to what potency they gave her on the Lycopodium.
I am also very uncertain about on line homeopathy. I think that the best selection is made in person, especially on the first prescription... but that being said it was an online homoepathy who helped me with my son when I was a student and whe he had a strong reaction to a remedy that I didn't know how to manage.. and neither did my instructor give any good advice which kinda ticked me off. Anyway, the online doc told me to do just the right thing and is issue resolved as well as his scoliosis curing...
and there ain't suppose to be no cure for scoliosis...so conventional docs say. I selected the correct remedy myself.
I hope it works.. and if it doesn't it does not mean that homepathy does not work, it means that the wrong remedy was selected for her so don't give up without trying a number of remedies, and possibly more than on homeopath if it comes to that.
You did have help selecting this remedy by a professional didn't you?
Thanks for the idea to stop using herbs in our food. I will admit that for a couple days several years ago when she had pretty bad diarrhea I stopped all fresh fruit and brown rice and switched to a diet of mostly white basmati rice. I hated to do it but I had to try something. Her bloated stomach never looked better. The diarrhea went away. I think too much fiber for her and the fructose were problems. Anyway....the idea of plain white rice makes me cringe.
The potency for the lycopodium is 200. I don't have the steps in front of me but I'm to take the lycopodium place it in water and brandy, tap it twice then give her a tsp.. Something like that.
She is amazing to eat so much variety. When she has green on her upper lips from chlorella and spirulina or she begs for wheat grass juice I smile....my little sweetie.
I didn't tell the homeopath of everything she takes. Should I? He asked a ton of questions but nothing about food or drink.
Well your on to this remedy now so give it the trial. You need to stay away from essential oils and herbs for the time being. If you think of symptoms she has or behavior quirks jot them down for the next consultation.
Can you share the link for the website for this place. I looked for ABC Homeopathy but there were many!
I just learned about VSL #3. Am I wasting my time giving PB8 which gives 12 billion strains of bacteria to Hannah? Maybe I should take it myself too. Would you give it to a child?
VSL#3 has 250 Billion active bacteria. You can't find that anywhere else. It must be refrigerated. PB8 is shelf stable. That's convenient.
The purpose of the billions, is that there is a greater chance for them to survive the digestive process. Otherwise, you must find some that are coated for that purpose, or be sure to take them with food.
That might be a bit overwhelming for your daughter. I don't think it is a problem for children normally. I just think it is too much too soon.
My Doctor has me taking 2 at bedtime. Morning and bedtime will have the stomach acid at its lowest.

Quick update on my daughter. We got back from the hemotologist who did live blood cell analysis. He showed me the tiny particles of food not properly broken down in her blood. She does need enzymes. How awesome to know now so that she can digest her food completely. I don't think I'll ever know why she's not making her own but I've accepted the fact that enzymes will help.
Her ATP is good (phew). Last year it was low.
B12 is low because she has parasites, giardia, liver flukes and fungus in her blood. Good grief! She's a gorgeous little 5 year old. Who would ever guess???? We'll be starting wormwood, black walnut and clove soon. Where the heck do these awful critters come from? Yuck.
And I'll be adding more probiotics.
One thing that is a mystery though is that there were crystals in her blood that indicate she's not absorbing calcium....OH, he said her liver has parasites which is causing it to malfunction.
So, still serious stuff but it seems like it is going to get better.
for a five year old child cut this formula to one third. If the parasites go the enzyme production might pick up. She could have stuff in her pancreas and of course her liver which makes some digestive enzymes, like bile.
Six weeks course of treatment
Oil of oregano 3 drops 4x day
Grapefruit Seed Extract 8 drops 4x day
MMS Kills liver flukes.
Put oil into a capsule
Follow treatment with Primal Defense (or probiotic of choice) 6 pills twice a day for two weeks then gradually taper down to daily recommended dosage

Thank you. Giardia is from water isn't it? He didn't see it in my blood but she and I are eating and drinking the same things. It's weird that he didn't see it in my blood.
Perhaps your immune system warded it off. Stoamch acid is the first line of defence in giardia. Dogs rarely get it as they have strong stomach acid. Perhaps you were just lucky. Most cases of giardia is from water but it is a parasite so it can move around. No telling how she got it.
