Re: OT again.sorry.: parasites, gut, and house pets?

[Guest guest]

Donna,I took my daughter to a naturopathic doctor yesterday and he asked if I

had any pets.I said yes and told him we had cats and dogs.He said my daghter

probably got parasites from them.It is so gross to think about.We are very

clean people and this is very disturbing to me.My dogs are potty trained and

the cats use the litter box.I have friends who are on the board of an animal

rescue league and I took this poor cat in from them.He was a mess.He HAD

worms.We got him de-wormed 4 times.He is fine now but thae thought of my

daughter getting something from my animals is disgusting.Also,he said

parasites and cause gut problems.I hope this helps you...ne

Im not sure about the dog thing but I think parasites are in our foodl

like meats. It is just that like the metals some peoples systems are

better at detoxing them than others and so there is always the

potential for them to thrive in our childrens already disrupted

systems. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure that

is true.

Thank you so much. Would you happen to know how I could find out if Brady has

parasites? My ped. isn't that supportive of medical interventions and would

probably think I'm crazy, I don't even know if she would refer me to a

gastr-dr. for him. I guess I could try to find one on my own around here in

Louisville. I really wanted to take him to a DAN dr to check for allergies,

etc..would they check for parasites too? Sorry for all the questions. Is

there any way I can tell myself if there are parasites or would it hurt to

treat him " just in case " . He's so little age wise, (29 months, 40in tall,

37lbs) I don't want to do anything that could hurt him. I don't know

anything about this stuff and I'm so lost. Thanks again!

Jenna just went through 2 rounds with pinworms. They are common in

daycare/preschool settings because children put everything in their mouths.

You have to wash their sheets and clothes after every use in hot water. The

medicine is vermox and Jenna required 3 doses over a period of 4 weeks (90%

are cured with 1 dose). The scratching got really terrible, and she would

wake up screaming at night from (I suppose) the itching. Neither of her

sisters got them but several other children at her school had to be treated.

You can go in at night and look in their diaper/underwear and many times you

can see the worms. Too gross for me, we relied in the lab tests.

Donna,I forgot! My ped isn't supportive of anything and I mean anything.He is

an asshole to put it bluntly.We go to Pediatric and Neonatal.She has been to

a pediatric gastro named Dr.Donna Volk.Do not take him there.She told me my

daughter was fine but I had one spoiled child on my hands and it was my fault

she is like this.I walked out of the office and she said where are you going

we aren't finished here I said oh yes we are.There is another doctor named

Dr.s.These are the only 2 in Louisville.I heard really great things

about Dr.s.If she has to go back to a pediatric gastro she will see Dr

s.I havw also heard more horror stories about Dr Volk since we were

there.Her naturopathic doctor said that almost all tests for parasites don't

show anything.He said if your chid has digestion problems,overly smelly

diapers,food problems,etc then s/he has parasites.if you want,go ahead and

order a test from Great Smokies and see.I think I am going to treat her like

she does.Agian,call me anytime.I had Moria call me one time.If you want ,call

collect or call and I will call you right back.Thanks ne

Thank you AGAIN! I called Dr. Epstein from Brownsboro rd. He's a

chiropractor involved with a program called KCC that I just found out about.

He was sooo nice on the phone, I actually cried when I hung up because that

was the first dr that called me back the same day and didn't rush me on then

phone. He said they would test for all of those things including parasites. I

meet with him June 4th. Hopefully things will go well with that.

Donna,I have found that alternative medicine doctors really listen.When I

took her to the naturopathic doctor we were there for over 3 hours.He sat

right across from me and really listened and asked a lot of questions.The

NAET doctor today talked to me from 11:30 until 2:00.I have NEVER found an MD

to do that.They usually push you out the door after 15 minutes.My mom came

over this evening and said Gillian looked better tonight then she has in a

long time.I actually think we are on the right path .I ,too have cried many

times.Now I am crying because I think I am actually helping my daughter.Who

is your ped?Who delivered your son and where? I am trying to do a little

research on the side! If you ever need anything,call me ne
