Re: son with walking pneumonia

I am really hesitant to answer this post because either way I go I could potentially be putting you and your son at risk. The bottom line is that all of these antibiotics and immunizations are killing him. They are weakening his immune system and his body is acclimating itself to them so that they are becoming less and less effective, which means, that each time they are prescribed the doctors will have to go to stronger drugs to get any results. Eventually, he will have to be put on IV antibiotics and monitored in a hospital setting.

Now, having said that, if you take him off of all of these drugs and don't know what you are doing, you could be creating a life-threatening situation. You are right in your feelings - you do need to stop this cycle, but you also have to have enough knowledge to be as aggressive as what you are fighting or it will win.

One of the first things I would do, if this were my son, is to get him off of all dairy products. Something is causing a lot of mucus and my first guess would be dairy. I would start introducing fresh juices into his diet to get him some concentrated nutrition, along with some green drinks. A yummy one for toddlers is made using pinapple juice, bananas, and fresh wheatgrass juice or some green powder. I would also get him on some echinacea to start boosting his immune system.

As far as the pnuemonia goes, I would be doing a lot of steaming. By this I mean getting him into multiple hot showers a day, so the steam can break up the congestion and help him clear his lungs. (An easy way to do this is to stand in the shower yourself and hold the child so that the water is hitting your back and he is benefiting from the steam) He also needs to have some type of hot water vaporizer going in his room at night with some eucalytus oil in it to help open up his airways. (If you are unfamiliar with herbs, most Vicks products will also help you accomplish this - they make a liquid to go in the vaporizer and an ointment which can go on the chest and back)

Follow your instincts, study and learn how to care for your son in the way your heart dictates. You are on the right track - keep going and develop the courage to follow your convictions. Tweet
