Some what Bud has to say here and at his website might benefit some of our kids. Nonetheless, it's interesting. www.buteykonyc.comTracie Begin forwarded message:Date: September 20, 2010 6:16:24 PM CDTTo: HormonesandHealth-Naturally Subject: HHN Re: 6 year old son with acid refluxReply-To: HormonesandHealth-Naturally I realize it looks like all we are talking about is Asthma since that is theeasiest to communicate to the public and is the condition for which themost research has been done and is insurance reimbursable in Australia andabout to be so in the UK. There is much much more.So, I repeat. Is he predominantly a mouth breather?While the site is geared towards asthma, one of the results of mouthbreathing in addition to everything else is significant over breathingespecially at night with all airborne problems going directly into thechild's system without the very fine filtration of nasal breathing. Thisalso causes a big loss of CO2 and the subsequent spasming of smooth muscletissue which is what surrounds the gut.The consequence of this spasming for many people is GERD *G**astroe**sophageal**R**eflux **D**isease* which goes away when their breathing gets better. Ihave many clients who come to me with GERD as well as asthma having takenall kinds of meds for the GERD. When they do the breathing work, their GERDclears up without medication.The fact that you were able to handle the bronchial inflammation by removingmilk does not mean that his breathing is OK now. Milk is often a trigger foroverbreathing in people whose bronchi are sensitive. Then repeated uses ofantibiotics to deal with this causes a destruction of the good bacteria ofthe gut which are the primary immune guardians of the system and sorepeated inflammations and flare ups occur along with the overgrowth ofCandida which flourish when the good bacteria of the gut are low. Using somegood probiotics like Good Belly ( kids love it ), it is a bit moreexpensive than the following: If he takes capsules, Jarro-dophilus whichis enteric coated and does not need refrigeration, or the powder form fromNatren of Life start as directed can make a significant difference too.Again, if he is a mouth breather, please also read the information aboutavoiding dental problems which is also on my home page on the left justabove the information about free children's programs. It is relatively easyto correct now and his performance in all areas will improve dramaticallywhich you can see where the Buteyko Program was employed in schools inScotland.http://www.sleepingallnight.com/documents/Buteyko_Glasgow_Schools.pdfBe well, Bud Weiss
