Three Natural Cures Your Kids Want You To Know!

Copyright 2005 Robert Fioravante

When Hippocrates said "the physician treats but nature heals,"
he was describing the human body's natural tendency toward
minimizing illness and creating optimal health. As we know,
however, the body needs a little help at times. Alternative
health practices can support the physical body in its natural
propensity toward healing by applying very effective remedies.

In this article we present powerful natural treatments for three
health conditions that frequently affect children: asthma, head
lice, and pink eye. Orthodox medical doctors and the drug
conglomerates won't be overly thrilled that you know these
natural treatments; they have no way of patenting or monetizing
these cures.

The Asthma Remedy

Asthma is a serious (if not frightening) disorder in which the
airway becomes inflamed, resulting in wheezing, loss of breath,
and tightness in the chest. About 15 million people in the U.S.
suffer with asthma and there are more than half a million
hospitalizations resulting from this disorder.

The prevalence of asthma has been increasing for every age group
affected. Children have the highest increase; over the last ten
years the rate of asthma in children has increased by over 90%.
Parents with asthmatic children will know that the quickest
remedy for an asthma attack comes from medication, but there are
times when a child's inhaler is not available.

There are two natural ways to treat an asthma attack which
relate to the soothing effect that warm liquid has on bronchial
tubes. First, try some hot soup which can soothe the bonchials.
However, the second remedy can be more effective since it
includes a warm liquid with an additional ingredient: caffeine.
Coffee or tea, with caffeine, can open airways similar to the
way inhalers do, so try this during an asthma episode if no
medication is available.

The Pink Eye Cure

Before 1938, patentable antibacterial drugs had not been
developed, so colloidal silver was the primary "medicine" for
fighting infections in the U.S. It is quietly used today as a
cleaning agent in water tanks, by airlines for in-flight water
purification, and by NASA to sterilize water on the Space
Shuttle. Why? Colloidal silver has been found to destroy about
650 viral, bacterial, and fungal "bugs."

One independent laboratory conducted research to determine the
effectiveness of a colloidal silver manufactured by a company
called Earthborn Products. This silver was applied to both
normal and resistant strains of staphylococcus aureus bacteria
and incubated at 37 degrees centigrade. The staph cultures were
killed in just four minutes! Also, research at the Upstate
Medical Center at Syracuse University (N.Y.) found that "silver
works on a wide range of bacteria without any known side
effects..."

Pink eye (pinkeye) or conjunctivitis is a highly contagious
ailment in which the conjunctiva or membrane that covers the eye
is infected by a virus or bacterial infection. Although
harmless, the challenge is to keep infected family members from
contaminating those around them. This challenge, however, has
been met with colloidal silver.

Many people are successfully treating their pink eye by applying
one or two drops of colloidal silver in their eyes, twice a day.
In fact, Dr. Evan M. Kansas reported in Science Digest (1978)
that he experienced "instant success" using colloidal silver
with immune compromised patients. One example he gave was a
patient's pinkeye that was totally resolved in less than six
hours after topical treatment!

The Head Lice Cure

Mom and dad, if you're tired of "nit picking," then pay
attention. About ten million people in America are afflicted
with head lice and their eggs, or "nits." The head louse lives
in human hair fairly close to the scalp where it feeds on human
blood. Female lice lay about 10 eggs per day and the babies, or
nits, hang-on to strands of hair with amazing tenacity.

Getting rid of head lice is a three-step process. You must kill
all the live lice, check for and remove all the nits by combing
and manual nit picking, and you must do a thorough job of
cleaning the infested person's belongings and home environment.

Doctor Lawrence Schachner of the University of Miami School of
Medicine has found what he believes is the best, fastest natural
remedy for head lice yet: petroleum jelly. This cure works not
by poisoning the lice (like the prescription drugs available),
but by smothering them. Dr. Schachner recommends slathering
petroleum jelly on your child's scalp and hair in the evening
before bed. Then put a shower cap on the child and let him sleep
the night with the cap on. By morning, the lice and knits are
smothered. The down side? Children must do repeated shampoos to
remove the petroleum jelly, so their hair may look oily for a
while.
