My kids (almost 3, 6, 15, almost 18) have been very healthy, the only thing that ever raised it's ugly head was the dreaded ear infections...terrible pain, fevers...until I discovered onion juice! Squeeze an onion...I use a citrus juicer, pick up the juice in a dropper, and squirt it in! Easy as! Never again did any of the kids get past "my ear is sore!" In fact the two littlies have had one a piece and then never again.. The two big ones had a couple more and then never sick again!
On another note, a client of mine with 18 month old twins was told they needed grommets urgently(!!! No other option!Come in this week!) She begged 6 weeks grace...I suggested she visit a chiropractor friend of mine...miraculously, when the mother returned to the ENT guy, there was no longer any need for grommets... Did he concede to the benefit of the chiro? Of course not, apparently the miraculous cure was due to her dropping a day of day care!! :) BTW onion is great grated applied to the feet for colds 'n just about anything!

I need some advice..again!! My 15.5 month old daughter is suffering from her second ear infection in 3 weeks. The doctor she saw mentioned referring her to a specialist to have grommets put in! (after 2 infections!...I suspect that they are the same infection). She has 2 bottles of cows milk a day, and she suffers from a bit of excema. I know I should lose the bottles, but apart from that, I have been told that cows milk and dairy products, being mucolitic can cause the build up of mucousy fluids in ears, particularly if the child has an atopic reaction to cows milk (like excema). Our problem is, our daughter will not drink milk from anything other than a bottle, making it hard to wean her from them, and we find it almost impossible to make up the reccomended 600mls of dairy in her diet if shes not having bottles. And what about the mucous thing? Have any of you experianced ppl out there heard of this, and does it have any credibility? If I did take her off dairy, how on EARTH would I adjust her diet to make sure that she was receiving adequate nutrition? The doctor she saw told me to give her formula instead of cows milk (????WHY?????). Im just so confused! What do you reccomend I do? Thanks a million, Macha. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
