New member quick intro and child question

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

My 11 yr old daughter has been on various ab's for 1 year now, being

treated by Dr. J. in New Haven. She has mostly improved but has been

kind of stagnating. She's had a headache non-stop and muscle pain all

over for over 1 1/2 years. The intensity of her pain is better than

before

she started ab's and she has recovered her energy. She developed a

really bad case of asthma last September and has been on Flovent ever

since (never had asthma before). She now has constant pressure on/in

her chest and we don't know if it's Lyme or lungs(asthma). She

sometimes gets weird symptoms when she gets sick with a cold (numb

face, clicking in her ears that I can hear).

Here's my most pressing question. I strongly feel that we should be

using alternative/herbal remedies in conjunction with the ab's, as

support and to add extra power to her treatment. We are in NYC and

have I looked into naturopaths at " Innersource " or getting a

telephone consult with an herbalist in Vermont (Buhner protocol). I

like the idea of someone close to home taking control of her

treatment in a holistic way, but I also think that the Buhner

protocol has been somewhat tried and proven. Does anyone have any

experience with either for their children? I currently have a

telephone consult appointment for Friday morning with an herbalist in

Vermont (Buhner).

Sorry for the brusque introduction, but I feel that we're at a

crossroads (as we often are) and something has to change...

Thank you,

Aviva
