Re: Wonerful advice here on babies and antibiotics... update on Harry

[Guest guest]

To Bee and everyone else who jumped in with advice about my son on

Saturday night - thank you very much for all your help. He is now much

better, though still tired and very pale. I'm afraid I did lose my

nerve as his fever got higher and higher and the cough became so bad he

was vomiting, so I gave him the antibiotics. It is a short course (3

days) and I have been giving him probiotics in between. I have been

using the humidifier in his room at night, and filled the bathroom with

steam at bathtime, and that has really helped his breathing. I am

giving him regular Vitamin C, and I am just about to make homemade soup

for him. I am now better prepared for the next infection.

I have just been to the doctor with him (the appointment had been made

before the weekend) to have blood tests and a stool sample done, to

find out what is going on, although I already know. He has candida -

was born with it, had lactose intolerance and cradle cap (both of which

he grew out of)and is now small and thin with frequent diarrhea, an

itchy bottom, and probably an underactive thyroid. I asked the doctor

to test for candida, and he said he doubted he had it!! I have just

about reached the end with doctors, but I need them for testing, so I

can then treat with the blessing of my husband and parents (they think

I am cruel taking away sweets and chocolate from my children). Harry

is also iron deficient, which lowers his immunity, and opens him up to

infections. This brings me onto a question, Bee. Is it OK to

supplement with iron when one has candida? I think I read somewhere

that iron feeds candida, so I have been holding back from this. I have

tried feeding Harry liver, and he won't eat it, though he does eat

small quantities of red meat, but not enough to make a difference on

his iron count.

grandchildren. You know how daughter-in-laws feel about that!! We are

so fortunate to learn of this natural healing from Bee. Thanks, so much

Bee. I hope to donate to your new website soon. Luv, Val

==>Yes it is okay to supplement with iron but it must be heme iron

which comes from meats/liver, not non-heme which comes from plants.

He can take dessicated liver tablets.

==>Certain kinds of iron feed candida, but not the natural like

dessicated liver.

The best, Bee
