Cures and Comfort for the Common Cold

B'SD

Want to help your little one, teenager or adults in the family to lose a cold faster than average? Here are some easy recipes for success:

Prepare a soup made ONLY of onions, garlic and a bit of sea salt.

The easily swallowed soup, ingested as much as desired, will direct germs and all kind of yukky stuff to the sewer while hydrating the feverish tyke who breathes with an open mouth.

A small amount of yummy honey brings up phlegm to be spit out.


Teensy-weensy homeopathic Mercurius-Heel S pills help to drain sinus cavities in adults who catch the little one's cold. Take one every 15 minutes for the first hour, then one every 8 hours for several days.

Prepare handkerchiefs for a cozier nose-blowing week (I prefer men's solid hankies because they're sturdier than lacey lady-like stuff). The goo is going to pour out of your head. Er, when I'm home with a cold I use torn dish towels and old washcloths to keep my nose clean and to avoid the harsh abrasion from papery commercial tissues. The soft fabric touch prevents the peeling skin you get from frequent nose-blows. And they keep the pillow clean...

Yes, I often use unexpected solutions to healthcare problems. You just don't always know what it could take to EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge.

How to Reduce Risks of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome - SIDS

B'SD

21 Kislev 5770


Johns Hopkins University and the USA's National Institutes of Health have released online information, also published in Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine about how to minimize the risk for SIDS. Some remarks stand out in the report:

"A large body of research has shown that

placing infants on their backs to sleep

reduces the risk of

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS),

the leading cause of death during the

first year of life in the United States."

Placing infants on their backs for sleep

remains the single most effective

means we knowto reduce the risk

of sudden infant death syndrome,"

said Marian Willinger, Ph.D.,

Special Assistant for

SIDS research at the

Eunice Kennedy Shriver

National Institute of Child Health

and Human Development

(NICHD), which funded the analysis.

"For the vast majority of infants,

concerns about choking while

back sleeping are unfounded."

Dr. Willinger noted that

certain conditions might prompt a

physician to consider recommending

against back placement.

However, such recommendations

are arrived at only after

careful deliberation and

after taking into account all the

potential risks and benefits

for the infant involved."

And PLEASE be aware of something I've mentioned on this blog before: There is significant evidence that SIDS became more common after crib mattress manufacturers began using synthetic materials to make baby bedding. There are 100% natural fiber and safe-for-baby crib mattresses to buy around the world. Simply ask your local health food society members, or look up the information in phone directories and on the Internet.

Kids with Type 1 Diabetes Will Soon Have a New Resource!

B'SD

19 Kislev 5770

Children do not relate well to illness and restraint. Childhood is the learning ground for developing mature behavior in about 1.5 to 2 decades. They need user-friendly lessons and approaches that meet their non-adult needs for complying with dietary rules, physical limitations and uncomfortable medical treatment.

Diabetic children need to cooperate
with blood checks, too.

The Children with Diabetes website has addressed those needs for a while.

Now Israel's child-friendly and fun-oriented Kav-Or Distance Learning site for hospitalized children is about to add another page to its web presences: Type 1 Diabetes information geared to children with that condition.

Kav-Or means "Connection to Light" in Hebrew. Ending the darkness of lonely hospital stays and of being different from other children definitely connects little ones to lighter days and outlooks. The multi-lingual site informs readers of how to manage their medical conditions and have some fun in Arabic, English, Hebrew and Spanish.

Lighten your child's life with a visit to Kav-Or online. And check out its soon-to-debut site dedicated to Children with Type 1 Diabetes. You'll find out about sugar levels, insulin use and nutrition there. The content is being created based on the questions often asked by children with diabetes. The site will offer solutions to enjoying holiday meals and school trips, restaurants, sports activities, and more, providing tools and information for handling those situations. Be sure to check out the interactive Flash carbohydrate calculator with visual and textual elements for calculating the insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio of various meals!

Hmm, some adults might need
to see that, too ;^ )

Want some other terrific, kid-friendly resources that the Kav-Or and Children with Diabetes sites don't have? They're inside my book! Buy and read it today!

EMPOWER Yourself (and the Child you Love) to Cope with a Medical Challenge.

Sorry for my silence yesterday. I'm in the middle of a months-long treatment prototcol to end my double vision and WOW it's affecting my optical efforts. I've needed a break from online images so my headaches could clear up. I'll update you on our success with the alternative healing method being used after we've completed the round of treatments and re-measured my visual abilities.

Meanwhile, here's some interesting news that lots of people can perhaps benefit from one day:

Humans Will be able to Grow Back Lost Limbs!
Possibly even Arteries, Muscles and Skin.

The medical advance would be a new lease on life for amputees, burn patients and neurologically impaired people (such as me).

If you're making efforts to cope with the medical issues in your life, read the book that teaches you how to make the most out of a convalesence period (rest & recovery time) and how to acquire free or low-cost medical care, medication, medical appliances, medical transportation and much, much more: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge.
