Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Bee, do you mean to drink these at night before I go to bed or throughout the day? Is there a certain amount I should have? As for the clove oil, how would I take it?

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi what helped me a lot when I had asthma (not anymore with the changes in diet) was vacuum cleaning and dusting ALL the surfaces every day if possible, or every two days. And changing the bed very often, minimun once a week. If you can walk, being outside often and have some sun, that will help too. At least this all helped me a lot. Take care > I'm having so much trouble with asthma at night, I always wake up way > to early in order to breathe. I have it in the day too, but it's > more manageable in the day.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 My 7 year old daughter has asthma. Her flare ups are usually at night and the first thing I do is heat good water, throw in good seat salt and add a bit of lemon. She sips the warm drink. She seems to better when heat is added to her body - the salt and lemon just add some flavor for her and hopefully help as well. Then I do some tapping or EFT type stuff on her chest. She also seems to breath more easily when she is sitting and leaning forward on pillows rather than lying back. It does seem to me as though her asthma is directly linked to what she eats and to stress. When we follow the diet over 95% of the time, there are no episodes. The more we cheat, the more often they occur. I have found too that her diet, effects her ability to manage stress. When we follow the diet, she deals with stress better and has fewer asthma episodes. I believe that I recently read in one of Bee's e-mails, that oil of oregano has been helpful to her when she feels difficulty breathing. My 7 year old won't take oil of oregano in any form that I have offered it to date. It's very strong. I love it, but I think you won't find many people who agree. Anyway, if you can tolerate the oil of oregano, I would suggest you look in the past e-mails to read Bee's recommendation. Wishing you wellness.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Dear Elyse, Take 4 drops of clove oil (the one at the drug store for toothaches) 3 times a day in very warm water or in some oil (it doesn't mix well with water), like olive oil or coconut oil. It is to strong to take straight. About 2-3 tsp of oil should be enough. Drink one of the teas, i.e. parsley or nettle during the day (4 cups) with the last one before bed. Sorry I did not explain completely how much to take. Sometimes I don't have much time to answer questions on the group.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi Marie, Thanks for sharing what you do to help your daughter's asthma. That's great. Will your daughter take oil of oregano in a gelatin capsule - get the smallest one you can at the drug store and put just 1 or 2 drops in it. Bee > > My 7 year old daughter has asthma.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Bee, Thanks for the suggestion on how to get my daughter to take oil of oregano. I'll try encapsulating the oil. I do think she would benefit from this anti-fungal. Marie [ ] Re: night asthma Hi Marie, Thanks for sharing what you do to help your daughter's asthma. That's great.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 My 3 yrs old granddaughter has asthma. What does do you recommend for her? She gets to the point of throwing up and has flame in throat. Wished I could get daughter in law to get her diet in check. She eats lots of bread and sweats.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Betty, Sounds like you pretty much answered your own question. Invite her mother to become educated on the subject. Having a child with asthma is a very scary thing. There is so much fear in the moment of an asthma episode and I know that I felt desperate for my daughter to have quick relief and for the episodes to be less frequent. Medication seemed the only solution available at the time. I just didn't have enough information that led me to a better way. Although I will say that desperately wanting a better way was what led me to Bee's diet. It took me a 4 years to discover the candida connection with asthma. That was five years of inhaled and oral steroids - not to mention all the sleepless nights and anxiety over fretting about my daughter's health. While many of the " natural " treatments for asthma are included in Bee's candida program, none of those recommendations stood on their own. It took putting everything together in one package - following Bee's comprehensive program - to make it work. One thing that I've discovered over the years is that for some reason people feel as though when I say " no thank you " when someone offers my child candy or " junk food " , that I am a bad parent - a parent who deprives her child of being a child. In the 6 years that my daughter has been eating solid foods, this stigma has not seemed to let up. People still feel very strongly that treats of candy, and snacks of goldfish, cheese-its and go-gurts are totally acceptable. One thing for certain is that you cannot be judgemental or angry with your grandchild's mother. Patience and educating in a slow, and gentle way will get you much farther in your attempts to re-educate her on health, " good " eating and a better asthma management program.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Dear Betty, It would be difficult to help a 3 year old's asthma when her diet is so bad. Let me think about it and if I don't get back to you this weekend please nudge me. Luv, Bee > > My 3 yrs old granddaughter has asthma. What does do you recommend for her?

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Bee, I put 2 drops of oil of oregano in a capsule, as you suggested - - - although I did add filtered water to it as well - - - and my 7 year old daughter swallowed it without a fuss. Thanks for the tip. Marie [ ] Re: night asthma Hi Marie, Thanks for sharing what you do to help your daughter's asthma. That's great.
