Digestive issues: bloating and eczema are signs of gluten intolerance. Have you tried an Elimination Diet to see if food allergies are issue?

Humaworm has a parasite cleanse for children. Humaworm has a forum here called Ask Humaworm. My daughter took it without issue when she was about 10. Paragone has a kid's kit too, you can get this one at most healthfood stores or online. She took that one too without issue at about 8. A parasite cleanse would be a good idea.

Does your daughter like salads? You can do a mini-clease with a green salad (try to find chickory and dandelion or other bitter greens to mix in with a spring salad mix) add some granny smith apple slices, some radishes, carrot and crystalized ginger (the sweet will help off sit the sour). For a dressing mix equal portions of fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil, wisk together for a vinaigrette, add salt and pepper to taste. The bitter greens, sour apple, lemon juice and olive oil will stimulate the gall bladder. If she won't eat all that on the salad, topping any salad she'll eat with the lemon/olive oil vinaigrette will help too. Maybe she'll eat a granny smith, carrot salad with crystalized ginger and the lemon juice and olive oil.

Planetary Formulas sells a product called "Stone Free", it helps break up gall stones. http://www.herbsmd.com/specialstore/SFREE.htm


Unfiltered apple juice will do it too, but she'll have to drink it every day, a big glass if you can get her to do it or break it up at meals to get it all in her. Drinking unfiltered apple juice is recommended before doing a Liver Flush to help break up stones.

Finally, a really good probiotic can help alot. I used the original Garden of Life's Primal Defense to much success in 2002 when I had some gut pain that a gastro-enterologist diagnosed as IBS. I had extreme tenderness on the right side of my abdomen and many foods caused me discomfort and stress caused my gut to hurt. I went on the Primal defense (6 tablets 3 times a day) for the recommended 3 months and it really helped. Taking the 6 tablets 3 times a day made me move my bowels at least 3 times a day. I also ate a large salad with chickory, dandelion, green apple, radish, crystalized ginger and topped with 1/4 cup each of lemon juice and olive oil and I passed gall stones. Since then, however, he's (Jordan Rubin) reformulated and taken out HSO probiotic that has the same ingredients as the original Primal Defense AND it's way more afordable.

To break up intestinal plaque, there's a product that can help pull out the mucus from the small intestine: Okra Pepsin E3 by standard process.

parasites can hide in mucus.

Finally, Uniquity, sells a line of herbal caps for constipation and bowel cleansing in storefront on her forum Natural healing here on curezone.

If one tries to get rid of parasites before cleaning out the liver, it can cause some real unpleasant side effects as I discovered myself. The recipes for Liver Cleansing are all over the net & here on CZ. I have personally found that orange juice works exactly like lemon juice for me, is just as effective. Like lots of people I don't recommend Epsom Salts & did not find it necessary. You will have to keep a close eye on her bowel movements, maybe even stir them up with some kind of long fork or something, to see if indeed she is expelling liver stones .

I would first try giving her at least 2 caps of activated charcoal on an empty stomach to see if that helps the bloating.

You might want to give her some cayenne capsules on a full stomach. Wait for about a week or less to see if "white rice" appears in the stools. If so, she has Tapeworms - those are just segments, the Tapeworm head, which reproduces, is not dead. Your whole family probably has them. Hulda Clark says everyone does.

Since she is so young (tho who knows being younger she may be tougher) you would want to go gently on cleaning out parasites to avoid discouraging & sometimes scary die off as much as possible. All I can do is give you the suggestions I gave another poster, tho I do not claim to be an expert....:


MORE USER FRIENDLY parasite CLEANSE"
Yes, that is a very big problem about die off. I have been wondering what would be the best way for a "newbie" to start (like my sister for ex.) so that they don't get overwhelmed, discouraged & quit.

My advice - don't know if it's the best - would be to start with food grade Diatomaceous earth for a month, 1 tbsp maybe with juice, 1st thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This will eliminate the white rice - which I found no other way to get rid of & I tried just about everything. This does kill parasites and has no side effects, except good ones like improvements in skin & hair (& so, I'd assume, in connective tissues in the body).

Then I would slooowly sneak up on the nasty little things with a zapper, starting on a week end. I would stay with one frequency in one part of the body, say 30khz with copper pipes (& wet paper toweling) at 1/2 hour per day until I had no die off, then gradually increase the time to an hour a day. You could tuck them in your socks each day for an hour, or at the belt, or if female, even in your bra. Same place though. I would experience die off, personally - might not be true for others - each time I would start zapping at a new area of the body, and/or if I changed the frequency.

After getting rid of the zapper with the hands partially touching the copper pipes, I would then start to use the entire hands. Next, do the same thing at say 15 khz, so 1 hour with 15 khz & 1 hour at 30khz wherever you want the pipes to be. (Or you might want to start with a Silverado, which attaches to a body part while you do other things, but only has 15khz frequency. I use both kinds.)

After you have had a month or two of zapping plus DE with no die off, I would start introducing Black-Walnut & Colloidal Silver . You can make cs cheaply, just don't just tap water or you might turn blue! I drink tons made with filtered water, w/no problesm. Lots of info on cs, in particular re parasites, on CZ & elsewhere.

I would also start working in some psyllium & Bentonite clay daily as much as practical. Blessed Herbs has the best system, but it is pricey. Activated charcoal can also be great in stead of the p & b.

Use cayenne every day! It has no side effects except to kill parasites. Actually you have to zap & use the paracide every day too. I do, and don't plan to stop ever - except I only use Wormwood periodically.

Lastly Wormwood , or products like Clarkia that contain it. (Vitacost has very cheap paracide products, I know they worked for me, but whether or not they are better than Clarkia or worse, don't know.)

Read up on Wormwood . It can cause cramping - though it may be worth it for sure - & nausea. Wormwood & the P & B are what caused me to expell Ascaris 2-3 feet long, I mean garter snake size, one of the shocks of my life - no clue they were there, either. The womrwood stuns them, then if you take p & b 2-4 hours later, it pushes them on out.

If there is a problem with constipation, do enemas, maybe 2 cups each time, with adding acidophilus yogurt into the last bag. Enemas are great for letting you know about liver stones & parasites when you are cleansing.

If you haven't already I would encourage you to try to find a naturopathic doctor in your area to assess your daughters health.

Definitely don't let her become constipated. If she does indeed have intestinal parasites then constipation will just provide a feast for them and result in a population explosion.

I agree with LoricalLady to use gentle enemas to relieve constipation if it occurs. You can safely use one ounce of enema solution for every two pounds of her body weight. If you need instructions on how to give an enema to a child, see http://valerie_cct.tripod.com/parentsg.html


Also, if there is a colon hydrotherapist in your area that has experience with colonics for children you may want to get in touch with her and discuss your daughters situation. In addition to providing a complete Colon Cleanse it may be possible to perform a parasite collection for diagnosis.

A colonic administered by an experienced professional can be without discomfort and can offer a thorough cleanse of the entire colon and wonderful healing experience despite the anxiety clients, especially a child, may have on the first visit.

Ease into natural enzymes. Use meat tenderizer, papaya powder and salt, instead of table salt . Get a little FRESH pineapple. Start melting the crud out of her, not knocking it out. You can get a broad-spectrum enzyme capsule which will melt down a lot of different food groups: starch is amylase; protein is protease, etc. I would never advise giving Bentonite super-sticky clay to anybody with a sluggish bowel. This could cause an obstructed bowel. Melt the crud with enzymes.

Candida and parasites in their one-celled reproductive stage can both be whacked back with non-toxic Silver Colloid. This will give her an edge. Ask Johnny Applebomb on the Silver Colloid forum if he'd be able to send you some for free out of Kansas City. You can make it by the gallon for pennies and it's super-pure and fresh.

Make Silver Colloid yourself with 14 gauge FINE SILVER .9999 wire. Order one foot from CC SILVER & GOLD, Phoenix, and cut in two. Attach 3 nine volt batteries red-to-black with Radio Shack battery snaps and put alligator clips on the free red and black ends. Drill two wee holes in a six inch light wooden stick 3/8" apart and push silver rods through with nubs showing at the top to attach battery clips. Insert across a glass into distilled water with water not touching the wood assembly. Fire it up for 1/2 hour or until it's knocking a white cloud of silver into the water. Drink 1-3oz. daily. Make it fresh or store in plastic or glass non-metallic dark container like peroxide bottle. Clean rods with plastic scrubber. Detach and store batteries away from metal so no sparking/fire. I lighted my pocket on fire with a 9 volt shorting out on small change. Ouch! Got the Radio Shack staff laughing...

Perk up the liver by starting out the day with really warm water and lemon juice to taste. Great tonic. L-Carnitine can help promote liver function. Here's a Candida protocol:

Undecylenic Acid, available on the internet, is a powerful Candida killer. A less powerful Candida killer is Caprylic Acid, great as antifungal in shoes, on carpets, and available as "Capril" in health food stores. Caprylic Acid is linked with minerals is very mild. Take Undecylenic Acid or Caprylic Acid daily for a week or ten days; then three days on and four days off; then once weekly as a maintenance dose, or as needed especially when eating carbs.

Pantethine will wipe out the brain-numbing, tissue-eating toxic by-product of Candidiasis, Acetaldehyde. Pantethine will also lower cholesterol, and is available under the trade name "Cholesteril." Stools may be slightly loose when first used as trash fats are eliminated from the body.

Silver Colloid for mucus membranes helps whack Candida, and can be used on the scalp. Silver Colloid may also be taken internally 1-2 oz. daily for a week, then three on four off; then weekly or as needed. Repair G.I. tract with friendly bacteria in yogurt or caps.

R-Lipoic Acid, more bio-available than Alpha Lipoic Acid/ALA should be taken after Candida has been whacked back to help repair gut lining/Leaky Gut. Drink water 1/2 hour before eating to build up mucus membrane in gut. Then take R-Lipoic Acid before eating. Stretching out the days is more important than high doses all at once.

Eating bananas is safe as banana Sugar will no feed Candida. Using Erythritol Sugar will kill Candida and other bacteria as a five-carbon sugar. Ditto Xylitol but in large doses can cause diarrhea. Eliminate sugars and fake sugars from the diet. Avoid sugary fruits and vegetables like peaches and corn and potatoes. Do not eat yeast breads or beer as they contain yeast food. GBU!

Candida fermentation and gas bloating is why some children and adults are "picky eaters" because their guts are tortured with the instant fermentation that blows them up like a puffer fish. BLESSINGS!
