Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Rhonda, The proteases will likely help break down the virus or bacteria that is causing the pneumonia. I think it is a good thing to keep taking. when I was in practice (chiro.), I would have patients take proteolytic enzymes along with pycnogenol every two hours for bad illnesses and also when they would be recovering from surgeries, etc. Remember, the enzymes with food will work on food. Enzymes between meals will help other issues in the body. I hope she feels better soon. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 >>> Livia has pneumonia and I'm wondering if, since she's eating so little, practically nothing in fact, should I just stop the enzymes for right now? I'm leaving in a minute to pick up her zethromax (I KNOW that's spelled wrong), and I'm going to up her Culturelle but I'm nervous about stopping the zymes (AFP/NF) because I'm afraid it'll be like starting over. Rhonda, I would just continue enzymes now. I give extra Peptizyde between meals when we get colds or ill because of helping with the mucus (if there) and stenghthening immune system. I suppose they might help with pathogens too. We don't get as ill as often and a cold is only half as long as it used to be. I give about 3-4 Peptizyde every 4 hours (you might not want to give extra, but no reason to stop right now). . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 From what I have read (correct me if I am wrong)... taking enzymes on an empty stomach can help break up mucous in the body--probably a good thing since she has pneumonia. Maybe you should even try upping the dose. pneumonia and enzymes > Hi all. > Livia has pneumonia and I'm wondering if, since she's eating so little, > practically nothing in fact, should I just stop the enzymes for right > now?

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I would give her colostrum from Kirkman (hypoallergenic) (I give my 45 pound 5 year old son 2 teaspoons twice a day), electrolytes from Elyte (856-825-8024)mix 3 capfulls per 1 cup of water.serve 1/2 ounce 3 times a day.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 thanks to everyone who responded to my post. I'm so tired...I will continue with the enzymes and hope for the best. Thanks again, Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 > I'm so tired... Rhonda, Look after yourself. It's not easy caring for a kid with spectrum issues, let alone one with pneumonia. Have a long sleep, if you can, and indulge in something really wonderful (chocolate? wine? hot bath?).
