Hi Alia,

I have seen molluscum with a few pediatric cases, and it is definitely one of

the tougher viruses to clear from the skin. My daughter actually had a pretty

intense case of it - over her abdomen, legs and arms - and it seemed to be

spreading. The following cleared it up in about a month (she is 5):

Dry skin brushing daily and if possible 2x/day

Orally:

HMF Replete (1/2 sachet/day)

A botanical combination (she can swallow capsules so I gave her some in capsule

form) obviously the 3.5 year old might not be able to swallow capsules.

Sweet Annie 1x/day away from food

Black Walnut 1x/day away from food

Milk Thistle 2x/day

Slippery Elm 2x/day

Cleaver's Combination (St. Francis Herbs)

Papaya Chewable Enzymes one with every meal

Fruit EFA 1 tsp/day

At night:

Magnesium in warm water and St. Francis

Hope this helps,
