I have found that a shot glass or ½ of one of CS (our homemade 12ppm) a couple times a day helps immensely with my 4 yr old, a tsp or more is all I usually need for 14 month old. In a situation like this I hit the bug hard EVERY ½ or hour with a little bit of CS and oregano oil and C. Usually improvement is within 3 or 4 doses. Thyme tea also helps to cut the mucus. WE used that a lot during whooping cough. However, what I also have found to truly help FAST for both my 14 month old and my 4.4 yr old is P73 oregano oil. I give the 4 yr old up to 5 drops on a tsp with more olive oil and he gets to chase it with apple cider or a tsp of honey. If it is at the beginning I rarely need anything else besides this and cs. Although carrot juice is awesome too! The 14 month old gets 1 or 2 drops in more olive oil and she isnt crazy about it but I can be quick and we dont do it often, justif I hear something coming on. I also put hydrogen peroxide in their ears. Homeopathics we use too but coughs are more challenging for me to figure out and I only have a couple hundred remedies. Grapefruit seed extract is unfortunately horrid tasting stuff and hard to get them to take. We also give them sodium ascorbate (vit c) in mega doses if the cough were to get that bad. Ie. The kids and I all had whooping cough last spring- nasty and scary for 3 months (the baby was 4 months and my son was 3.5) we certainly didnt know all we know now- what a learning experience! We bought Leo Gallands book about Supperimmunity for Kids (awesome book) had a hair analysis done etc. (I was trying to figure out why it dragged on so long) and then started to boost their sytem with natural vitamins and most crucially EFAs!!! I thought we ate pretty healthy before but when I looked hard we didnt have much green in our diet or much variety. The kids now drink green smoothies with kale, celery, spinach, collard, banana, apple etc. almost everyday, we juice vegetable juices as well like carrot and beet and apple a lot and sprouts too. Since august we have not been sick at all my husband who never gets sick brought a regular cold home a couple weeks ago and none of us got it!! So thats pretty awesome! LOL Anyhow not sure if any of this will help. Its a bit choppy, I started it earlier ;-) Hope your daughter is feeling better soon.

Fill the container with you CS/EIS and let your child breathe the mist sev- eral times a day. It has helped all the folks in my household tremendously as they too have had prolonged coughing, sore throat and some fever. PETE
