Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I don't even think you should attempt this IMHO. This is something you need to consult a dr for. If something happens it could come back on you. You need antibiotics and need to get her the right meds/dose. There things that do go wrong w/salt/c and w/a fragile child and at this age you could be asking for trouble w/o a dr overseeing. I wouldn't even attempt it. _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Tara Romanowich Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 8:45 AM Lyme Aid Subject: [ ] Salt- C help!! Hello, I am about to start Salt/C with my daughter, but we are not with a LLMD yet. We are scheduled to see Dr. J in October. I would like to try some things in the meantime. Is there a source I could find some good protocol info for kids on Salt/C? She is 4 with developmental delays...she drools a lot, so she looses fluids all day long...keeping her hydrated is no easy task (oral motor delays), so I am a bit nervous about Salt/C.. .My get feeling is to start very slow...She is tiny...she 's 4 and is 25 lbs... What would be the best source of info for me? Thanks so much! :-) tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Tara, I myself wouldn't try that with her, I would be worried about dehydration. There are several other options. Do you have many Lyme books? I would recommend reading up on other treatments. From: Tara Romanowich <tvromanowich@...> Subject: [ ] Salt- C help!!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hi Tara, I would caution against the Salt C protocal for your daughter due to the excessive drooling. if you choose to try this protocol then monitor her vitals closely, heart rate and blood pressure. I will be happy to check her vitals any time. She is a bit frail in my opinion for the therapy. I can also put you in touch with someone that had very negative results so please use caution and start slow and low if you choose the therapy,,, Warmly, Sudylo RN/CHT www.juliashbot.com From: Tara Romanowich <tvromanowich@...> Subject: [ ] Salt- C help!!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 , I know this is argumentative, but I have to say it anyway (and NOT because I'm of a strong opinion on Salt-C either way, but more because of the contrary messages in your last post). Call me nit-picky if you like; I don't mind. First you said " I have documented allot of the testimonials of people using it successfully on my Lyme Resource Cd " Then you said " But don't simply discount the protocol on hearsay. " I'm sorry, but testimonials ARE heresay. Unless we're researching a treatment that has very clear research, statistics, etc. we tend to get nothing BUT heresay -- the input of people who've done it, whether their experience was good or bad. Then we weigh what we've learned from others to (hopefully) make the right choice for us. I do not think it is fair to people who are searching for ways to improved their health to call something you agree with " testimonials " and what you don't agree with " heresay " . That said, any sick person worth their salt (pun intended) will do research on the " testimonials " to try to find out both the positive and the negative before they blindly throw themselves into ANY treatment. This is a hard thing to do when you're mentally impaired by Lyme, and I only think it FAIR if we merely put forth our experience in as unbiased a manner as possible. That is only my opinion and I am often wrong. Best health to all, > > > I have documented allot of the testimonials of people using it successfully on my Lyme Resource Cd (see the files section of this forum here). I have also documented the one case that I know that a person required hospitalization because of the protocol. > > Nothing is perfect and we are all different. Some things work for one and not another. But don't simply discount the protocol on hearsay.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Fair enough statement. I stand corrected! What I meant is don't just hear one side of an issue. Try and see what else is available on it. But you are 100% correct. Really all we have atm is hearsay to go on as far as most alternate (non-antibiotic) Lyme treatments go. I know that when I started my journey to help my wife combat Lyme I believed Rife was totally quackery. Today I moderate a support group for Rife technology. So I am always willing to learn new things! > [ ] Re: Salt- C help!! > > , I know this is argumentative, but I have to say it > anyway (and NOT because I'm of a strong opinion on Salt-C > either way, but more because of the contrary messages in your > last post).
