Re: OT: Help for Stomach Virus???

[Guest guest]

When I am exposed to something at work, I come home and shower,

irrigate my sinuses and take some supplements to combat it, like OLE

and/or diet tonic water and sometimes other stuff. We wipe down my

purse and other items that came home with me. We keep me physically

away from others until I am clean. When I had a car, that got wiped

down with peroxide (warning: this may bleach materials in the car, but

I didn't care what it did to the carpeting). I rarely suffer more

than 12 hours with a virus these days and often my kids don't get it

at all. So, yes, it's possible.

If he can't take anything orally because he's vomiting, I would

suggest you start with getting him out of his clothes and wiping him

down with peroxide and/or diet tonic water and washing his bedding to

break the cycle of contact with stuff he has already gotten

contaminated with his germs and to get as many germs off of him as you

can. If he is able to tolerate something by mouth, then try one or

more of the following: OLE, a large dose of vitamin A or E, diet

tonic water, and/or any supplement that helps make him alkaline like

calcium or magnesium.

Good luck with this.

Probiotics. Send in plenty of the good bugs overwhelm the bad.

We just went through this, too. We tackled it in about 12-20 hours,

with soothing the stomache with warm " tea " made by steeping freshly

gound ginger (tablespoon?) in boiling water for a good 5 mintues,

straining it and then adding tsp of raw honey. That stopped the

vomiting for us immediately. Then we started probiotics and coconut

oil. Cool compresses on forehead and neck for comfort and gentle

massage on arms and legs with oil with only 1 drop each of peppermint

and lavender oil.

For prevention - since Moms can't get sick - cleaning solid surfaces

regularly with vinegar and antiviral EO's, washing sheets everyday, and

then starting increased fluids, OLE, Vit D, probiotics and plenty of

rest. DH was laid up for 3 days with it - I felt quesy for about 6

hours and a bit tired - that was it.

HTH and hope your little one feels better soon!

Here we do ginger tea - just the ground ginger in your cooking spice

cabinet will do. I put 1/4 tsp in a cup of water and sweeten with a

touch of honey or stevia. Honey is good when ill (in moderation).

Also, if the vomiting gets bad, add a few dashes of sea salt to the

water your child is drinking. Do not give sugary drinks like Gatorade

no matter how many times you've heard it helps. The sugar is

counterproductive. Water is the best thing. No solids.

For yourself, take some apple cider vinegar. We put about a teaspoon in

a glass of 100% juice. It is also what we do if we actually feel like

we are coming down with something. My husband swears by this, and takes

vinegar during the " flu season " since he is exposed at work a lot. He

doesn't get sick. Also, don't overdo sugar, it is a natural immune

suppressant. Lots of garlic in your foods the next couple of days won't

hurt either. :-)

*****Activated charcoal will work like a charm. Take 2 capsules to

start. Anytime the child feels queasy again, take another capsule. It

literally soaks up everything, so it works great for vomitting and

diarrhea. As for not getting it yourselves, Virastop, Probiotics,

GSE, Colloidal Silver, Goldenseal. Hope this helps!

I know someone said not to do this, but this is what works for us. When our kids

have

stomach flu, water makes them throw up, so we give them pedialyte by the

teaspoonful,

waiting in between spoonfuls to see if they keep it down. If your kids can keep

down water

with a stomach flu, great, but ours can't. Good luck! maggie d.

Right now he get OLE and oreganal every day.  Should I add virastop

or something else?  We are also chelating right now with DMSA.  I

haven't added ALA in yet because it has only been 1 month of

chelating.

Kelley,

Virastop is made by Enzymedica. You can read about it and other

viral supplements in the files section under Viral Information.

******We got our bottle of Virastop from the local health foods

store. It's made by Enzymedica. You could probably look it up at

iherb.com or vitacost.com. Not sure though. You can add Virastop to

your regime. It's ideal to take it on an empty stomach. We use DMSA

as well, and have had no problems.
