Re: oxypowder cooked (Dave)

Dave if this was a diabetic or cancer treatment it would have to be taken. It does have to be taken, if you don't shift that S**t and keep it moving through, nothing else is going to work.

Its tough, its hard, but it goes in, end of, you are bigger than him.

Mix into preferred liquid, pull up in syringe, decide that it going in and get it in.

I remember reading from other parents, one holding child down, one squirting, thats the one usually getting covered in the supp (he will spit it back out) - keep going till you get some in. Keep calm and keep saying, you have to take your medicine.

Once he realises it IS going in and that sometimes takes a few days, he will accept it.

I didn't have to go so far as sitting on Sam like some parents have to, but my attitutde changed and then so did Sam's behaviour. I used pea sized amounts of chocolate spread and he took it that way, we graduated from that in time but it got us over the hump.

I sound hard, sound tough I am being tough but this HAS to be done, the alternative stretched bowels, inflammation, back up of toxins leaking back into his system, gut bugs going wild, behaviural issue from the pain are all much worse than the initial truama of getting the stuff in there. Its not really like Oxypowder is particularly yukky stuff.

Sitting here thinking this will soon appear on some ND site as a reason why parents doing biomed are complete nutters - we are parents helping sick kids, sick kids need to take their medicine - there is no nice way to put mate.

Dave,

I agree, keep going, it really really matters to the health of your child! I have had horrible times getting supplements down my son but in the end persistence paid off. My mantra is one I saw on a poster of runners, it said, *the race is not to the swift but to those who endure*. It's all a matter of sticking it out longer than him. In one instance I just kept on persisting and persisting with a routine around one supplement and even though wasn't taking ANY of it, I stuck it out. Eventually his desire for the routine eclipsed his aversion to the supplement and he started taking it!

Good luck!

Hi Dave

(and Darla who was just speaking to me about the same thing) We did something

similar with pear puree but when this stopped working we started to add more

and more xylitol. Did the trick for ages, now we use bribery as well (a

spoonful of the puree with xylitol for a bit of banana/biscuit and the video

back on) works for us anyway at least for now. Who knows what we’ll come

up with for the next supplement that he hates!

Re:

oxypowder cooked (Dave)

Hi Dave

Not sure if Dan will eat Baby organic fruit puree which you can get at

any supermarket.

We opened up the cap and put the oxypowder in a teaspoon or 2 of this

at night. He didn't like it but he did have it.

Hope that helps.

-Hear, hear, and also you can offer a drink of water/juice between

each squirt of supplement to take the taste away. MMy son does this

with his veg juice!!
