Vitamin C for Whooping Cough

[Guest guest]

Hello, I read some years ago that the common treatment

for whooping cough, back in the days before the

vaccination, was Vitamin C. It is certainly what I

have done with my children at times when they had a

cough that sounded suspicious. Somewhere in my files

is also a website where you can actually hear a child

with whooping cough at its various stages in order to

compare it with your child's cough.

I must add that recently my family moved to another

state and I took one of my children into an allopathic

dr. for a minor concern in order to feel out the

physician as to whether he would work with my family

knowing that we do not vaccinate. He clearly stated

that he had pertussis as a child and that he does not

consider the disease to be a big deal except sometimes

in tiny babies. (Also, my mother had pertussis as an

infant but she healed just fine without any special

treatment. She was breastfed.)

Keep up your chin and just love your sick child. I

consider myself to be so blessed because when one or

more of my 10 children have been ill, as a stay home

mother and homeschooling family I have been able to

put everything on hold and just hold, rock, play with,

and watch my children closely. Little things like a

cool drink, aromatherapy, a hot herbal bath, calm

music, heating pads, an open window, etc. seem to make

a lot of difference in the severity and duration of

any illness. And, of course, I am always trying to

build up their immune systems with herbs, vitamins,

cod-liver oil, fresh air, lots of sleep, minimizing

stress, etc.

Hope this helps!
