Guest guest Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hello, Our Naturopath doctor is having my toddler Sebastian get an ultrasound for a suspected hernia in his testicle area. We are very concerned for it possibly " needing surgery " and the anesthesia involved. If he has to get surgery what could we do to combat the use of anesthesia before or after? He is still nursing and him and I are not entirely healed from candida from birth on. Very concerned, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I don't know if it would be different because of the hernia location, but my son, as an infant, had a belly button hernia. The naturopath treated it with homeopathic medicine and that completely fixed it. No surgery. The remedy worked fairly quickly. Within 2 weeks if my memory serves.

Also proper nutrition has been known to heal hernias, if they aren't too serious. If that area is bulging out too much, causing pain when he strains himself, he may need surgery so it doesn't get worse, since nutrition takes time. They can do it with a local anesthetic, but with children that can be difficult. If he has to have it, you need to ensure he is getting proper nutrition prior to surgery, and after, and also help his body detoxify the anesthetic with Epsom salt baths. Refuse antibiotics. After surgery he should be on nutrient-rich liquid foods, like breastmilk, bone broths, soup, Bee's egg drink, etc. He should also be taking supplements for his age according to this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/baby.php Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Thank you Bee. At this point it looks like, instead of hernia in our toddler boy, it is " hydrocele " or " fluid build up " around his teste. Have you heard of this or had experience in such? Would you think this would heal on its own with proper nutrition? Much appreciated in you easing new parents minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Dear Bee, My name is and my son Sebo and I have been pursuing healthy eating for about 8 months now......for the most part. At this point though, we've been given confirmation of needing to bare down with BETTER NUTRITION, because of my son's hernia surgery next month. Previously I posted about this, and it is apparent he has to have surgery for Inguinal Hernia/ Hydrocele (fluid) in his scrotum. You told me earlier to bulk up the nutrition and I wondered if there is any other advice for before and after the surgery, besides no antibiotics which we already requested? He does have to a local anesthesia and they will put him out with Tylonel codene. What are you thoughts about those two? He is breastfeeding, does he need extra supplements himself or just through breastfeeding. Extra vitamin C before and/or after surgery? He is almost 2 years old. Sorry for all the questions, we are nervous parents with this our first baby. Much appreciated - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you being told the surgery is important to do right away because his condition is life-threatening? If it isn't, you could wait longer before getting the surgery so your son is more healthy and able to handle the operation better. > > You told me earlier to bulk up the nutrition and I wondered if there is any other advice for before and after the surgery, besides no antibiotics which we already requested? +++I wouldn't have said " bulk up " on nutrition, however both of you should be following the program completely and accurately - see my articles for Babies & Children. > > He does have to a local anesthesia and they will put him out with Tylonel codene. What are you thoughts about those two? +++For the pain involved in surgery he may " have to " take the Tylenol, but on this program his body should be able to detoxify it okay. > > He is breastfeeding, does he need extra supplements himself or just through breastfeeding. Extra vitamin C before and/or after surgery? He is almost 2 years old. +++See supplements and doses for Babies & Children: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/baby.php +++You should be giving him 1/3rd of adult doses now, which is about 1,320 mg of vitamin C daily. But start him on lower doses, divided up and taken with breastmilk and/or foods, and slowly increase it so his body can become saturated with it without getting loose stools. +++After that, gradually increase doses until he gets loose stools, and then give him a little bit less (which doesn't cause loose stools) at least 5 days before and 7 days after surgery. Then gradually lower the higher dose to 1,320 mg per day again. The best in health, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Hi My son had that same surgery under general anesthetic when he was 3. He was sick to his stomach from the anesthetic immediately after but had no other problems from the surgery. It really is a tiny incision and that surgery is done on an outpatient basis so I wouldn't think antibiotics would be an issue at all. Good luck.
