Kids’, Adults’ Colds, Viruses, and Coughs
Medical treatments for kids (ages 1-15) with the viruses, colds, coughs, and upper respiratory viral infections can be hazardous. The more chronic these infections become, the more invasive the treatments can become.
A common course of treatment is to prescribe antibiotics. In the end, most antibiotics do not do much good. They offer little help in overcoming the underlying cause of the problem; they can cause serious side effects, including digestive and bowel problems.
When a virus causes a chronic cough that evolves into a wheeze, parents get scared. Physicians often prescribe antibiotics and steroid drugs (inhaled corticosteroids). For many kids, coughs, become routine, with plenty of them getting ten or more respiratory infections (RTI's) a year!
For almost all kids, the repeated use of inhaled corticosteroids is not warranted and is dangerous. Studies have shown that repeated use of these drugs, such as fluticasone and prednisolone retards growth in children. Based on the side effect and the fact that these treatments are not usually effective, medical experts argue that they should not be used. The only exception might be for children with proven allergies that lead to asthma. With antibiotics, even in these kids, these treatments do nothing about the cause of the problem.
What to Do:
If you have a preschooler or youngster who suffers from chronic RTI's instead of using drugs, start by eliminating all pasteurized dairy products from your child's diet. An allergy to pasteurized milk is the most common start to an allergic response that leads to RTI's and even asthma. Give your child a scant teaspoon of cod liver oil (CLO). It's also available in capsules, give your child 1-2 daily to give them their immune system the whole vitamins A and D they so desperately need.
Next, begin to rebuild your child's immune response naturally. The very best way to do this is with a single product from Standard Process called Congaplex. Congaplex contains three products: Calicium Lactate, Cataplex ACP and Thymex.
Calicium Lactate is the supreme source of calcium and magnesium. With children, calcium lactate is naturally anti-fever. Calcium itself is indispensable to almost every immune function in the human body.
Cataplex ACP is a phytonutrient complex containing a myriad of nutrients, with the major nutrients being real vitamins A & C, as well as vitamin P.
Thymex is thymus gland extract. The thymus gland fights infection and provides antibody protection by stimulating the lymphatic system and activating the immune system to produce antibodies. It also activates killer cells and T cells to kill microbes that cause infections.
Best of all Congaplex is available in a chewable form. For all children with chronic olds, RTI's, etc, here are the dosages:
Under the age of 3: Chew 3 tablets daily
Ages 4-10: Chew 4-6 daily
For ages 11-100: 4-6 tablets daily.
At the first sign of a cold or flu, have your little ones chew 2 Congaplex every hour or so until the infection is killed. The older kids and adults can take 2-3 tablets every hour until the infection is resolved.
All of these products may be purchased at our office.
What will happen?
Over time this kind of nutrition builds up the immune system so that you and your kids are no longer prone to repeated and chronic colds, flu, and RTI's. For adults with long-standing immune problems, it is best to combine Congaplex with Immuplex at a dose of 2-3 capsules daily.
Acute care with Congaplex every hour usually results in one of four possible responses.
First is that colds, flu, or RTI's do not really develop, and are knocked out in 48 hours.
Second, you get the infection, but it is less severe and last only a few days.
Third, you get a very minor cold, flu, or RTI symptoms (reduced by 80-90%) that lasts the full duration of a cold or flu (a week or so).
Fourth, you suffer the same cold, flu, or RTI symptoms while taking Congaplex at first.
But slowly, as you get stronger, you revert into the first, second, or third category.
Any of the three are a blessed relief, especially for your kids or grandkids. In almost all cases, the need for drugs or a doctor's visit is eliminated. The lost of time from school, work, or even play, becomes a thing of the past. And, of course, there are no side effects.
This is healing at the cause. Now compare this to a "super potent" dose of "vitamin C" product that is really chemical ascorbic acid, produced by pharmaceutical companies, and labeled "natural" because a pinch of stale rose hips powder is thrown into the batch. It is produced for pennies then hawked and sold to you for $40 and doesn't even work!
