Sep. 28, 2009 Strengthen Your Immune System Sep. 16, 2009 Tips for helping children (and their folks) get to sleep
Some ideas for you (in no particular order):
1. melatonin
2. vitamin D / magnesuim supplementation
3. homeopathics
4. positive reinforcement plan (401 ways to get your kids to work at home)
5. regular bedtime ritual (can't be just what you are doing now), reading works for some
6. include evening prayer (pray them to sleep) and/ or late night family devotions (sure to make them really tired .... )
7. chamomile (sleepytime) or "bedtime" tea
8. lullaby music (no tv)
9. the sleep book (I got it from the library once)
10 of course, daytime fresh air and plenty of exercise (hard work)
11. the dreaded (for me) - consistency (of routine rather than exact time)
12. take care of mom so mom (and dad) so mom won't be crabby : )
13. watch what they eat close to bedtime (ie no chocolate, ice cream, etc)
14. chiropractic, accupressure, massage, tapping
15. be flexible, have a long term vision

Jun. 27, 2009 Alternative Cancer Treatments and Vitamins K and D Feb. 10, 2009 How Goot Changed Our Lives
I have used garlic and garlic oil for quite some time now as a healer for many things. You will enjoy this article
http://www.beeyoutiful.com/how-goot-changed-our-lives/
Jacque Dixon also has an article on Goot on her page.
Use garlic, it really works. Learn to crush a bulb of it and add it to your chicken soup just before eating. Especially for a cold with sinus. Put it on an abcessed tooth. It is an excellent pain reliever.
It always makes me praise God when I think of how awesome He is and how He created all things like this for us.
Take care,

Jul. 13, 2008 Homeopathy for Autism
There is much to say on this topic but,,
I have been using BIOCHEMIC PHOSPHATES by Hyland's for quite awhile as Toby's behavior has become more agressive and he is more irritable (this is putting this mildly at times). With one or more doses of these, I usually find it helps him to relax. I have also used the "Stress" formula by another brand with decent results.
I also use it for Coleman and Emily when it seems appropriate. |

Jul. 9, 2008 What treatments do you turn to when your children are sick with a virus?
Tylenol is a very last resort for me. So are antibiotics (Actually I was only forced to use these once with my four youngest.)
I tend to use herbal tinctures or compound remedies made for kids, herbal teas, supplements, homeopathic remedies and alot of rest and fluids.
There is so much information on natural remedies available at our fingertips today, it is a shame to turn first to big pharma and now with the government itself issuing warnings against over the counter medications for children, we need to learn everything we can.
Perhaps I will begin a series of posts on this ...
May the Lord bless our children,
Michele |
