OT: Flu/Homeopathy Help

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Well, the Flu bug has bitten here and while I have not worried much about it,

now that it is here I find myself getting a little worked up because of the baby

(5 months).

I have some questions about homeopathy (oscillo etc) and would like to know if

there is a place that I should post my questions (other than this list)...I have

read through the Flu threads here, but have not seen my question answered.

Here are my questions in case this is the appropriate list.

First of all, DH has the Flu. Started yesterday with symptoms. Took Oscillo

with no help. He's down and out right now with a fever and aches. Myself and

the 2 kids (ages 4 years and 5 months) have no symptoms yet. Should I be making

sure we all get the oscillo now? My 4 year old would never let the stuff

dissolve under his tongue. Can I dissolve it in a cup of water and let him have

it that way? For my 5 month old, should I just take it and let him get it

through my breastmilk or should I dissolve in water and give with a dropper? If

yes, would it be the same dose for the baby too? Even though we have no

symptoms yet, should we still take it every 6 hours as the box directs?

If it was just dh and I this would not be of any concern to us, but with the

kids I am a little nervous. We try not to watch the TV with all the media hype

about flu, but friends are always telling me anyway. Of course I never hear the

" whole story " , but as a mom of two beautiful children, I just can't help feeling

a little scared. I am mostly concerned about the baby, but I am also concerned

about my 4 year old as his diet just stinks. He is the pickiest eater I have

ever encountered. He won't take anything herbal, no homemade soups,

nada....ugh!

And all this 4 days before Christmas!!

Thanks in advance for the help. Again, if this needs to be moved, please let me

know where to.

Need to look at list that I just re-sent and try to find the remedy that is

the closest match

Hopefully there is one there

Better if you know how to individually select a remedy (stuff I teach in my

class), but try

Use mood while sick (not normal mood) a lot to help determine.

For 4 yo - it doesn't have to ttotally dissolve - basically the pillule or

tablet is coated with the remedy, so just a short time in the mouth and the

dose will be gotten or can put it in water and let sip/drink that way. For

5 month old, if symptoms, just dissolve in water also (small amount) and

then put in mouth. Same dose for anyone - 1 pillule or tablet. I've just

reposted dosing info.

Oscillo instructions say every 6 hours when exposed. They also say whole

vial is a dose - I don't think that is necessary - a few pillules is fine -

but that is my opinion.

When your children are breastfed you have less to worry about

And KNOW that there is huge hype here

And we don't know why the few (and it is VERY few) children are dying -

underlying problems, use of Tylenol etc, other drugs, recently vaccinated

with flu vaccine OR other vaccines.

Try to relax a bit.
