Three Natural Cures Your Kids Want You To Know!
By Robert Fioravante, Thu Dec 8th
Copyright 2005 Robert Fioravante When Hippocrates said “the physician treats but nature heals,”he was describing the human body’s natural tendency towardminimizing illness and creating optimal health. As we know,however, the body needs a little help at times. Alternativehealth practices can support the physical body in its naturalpropensity toward healing by applying very effective remedies. In this article we present powerful natural treatments for threehealth conditions that frequently affect children: asthma, headlice, and pink eye. Orthodox medical doctors and the drugconglomerates won’t be overly thrilled that you know thesenatural treatments; they have no way of patenting or monetizingthese cures.
The Remedy Asthma is a serious (if not frightening) disorder in which theairway becomes inflamed, resulting in wheezing, loss of breath,and tightness in the chest. About 15 million people in the U.S.suffer with and there are more than half a millionhospitalizations resulting from this disorder. The prevalence of has been increasing for every age groupaffected. Children have the highest increase; over the last tenyears the rate of in children has increased by over 90%.Parents with asthmatic children will know that the quickestremedy for an attack comes from medication, but there aretimes when a child’s inhaler is not available. There are two natural ways to treat an attack whichrelate to the soothing effect that warm liquid has on bronchialtubes. First, try some hot soup which can soothe the bonchials.However, the second remedy can be more effective since itincludes a warm liquid with an additional ingredient: caffeine.Coffee or tea, with caffeine, can open airways similar to theway inhalers do, so try this during an episode if nomedication is available. The Pink Eye Cure Before 1938, patentable antibacterial drugs had not beendeveloped, so colloidal silver was the primary “medicine” forfighting infections in the U.S. It is quietly used today as acleaning agent in water tanks, by airlines for in-flight waterpurification, and by NASA to sterilize water on the SpaceShuttle. Why? Colloidal silver has been found to destroy about650 viral, bacterial, and fungal “bugs.” One independent laboratory conducted research to determine theeffectiveness of a colloidal silver manufactured by a companycalled Earthborn Products.
This silver was applied to bothnormal and resistant strains of staphylococcus aureus bacteriaand incubated at 37 degrees centigrade. The staph cultures werekilled in just four minutes! Also, research at the UpstateMedical Center at Syracuse University (N.Y.) found that “silverworks on a wide range of bacteria without any known sideeffects…” Pink eye (pinkeye) or conjunctivitis is a highly contagiousailment in which the conjunctiva or membrane that covers the eyeis infected by a virus or bacterial infection. Althoughharmless, the challenge is to keep infected family members fromcontaminating those around them. This challenge, however, hasbeen met with colloidal silver. Many people are successfully treating their pink eye by applyingone or two drops of colloidal silver in their eyes, twice a day.In fact, Dr. Evan M. Kansas reported in Science Digest (1978)that he experienced “instant success" using colloidal silverwith immune compromised patients. One example he gave was apatient’s pinkeye that was totally resolved in less than sixhours after topical treatment! The Head Lice Cure Mom and dad, if you’re tired of “nit picking,” then payattention. About ten million people in America are afflictedwith head lice and their eggs, or “nits.” The head louse livesin human hair fairly close to the scalp where it feeds on humanblood. Female lice lay about 10 eggs per day and the babies, ornits, hang-on to strands of hair with amazing tenacity. Getting rid of head lice is a three-step process. You must killall the live lice, check for and remove all the nits by combingand manual nit picking, and you must do a thorough job ofcleaning the infested person's belongings and home environment. Doctor Lawrence Schachner of the University of Miami School ofMedicine has found what he believes is the best, fastest naturalremedy for head lice yet: petroleum jelly. This cure works notby poisoning the lice (like the prescription drugs available),but by smothering them. Dr. Schachner recommends slatheringpetroleum jelly on your child's scalp and hair in the eveningbefore bed. Then put a shower cap on the child and let him sleepthe night with the cap on. By morning, the lice and knits aresmothered. The down side? Children must do repeated shampoos toremove the petroleum jelly, so their hair may look oily for awhile.
