April32...Hi!!!

I wouldn't try to give an enema to a 7 year old...and we've had 3 kids who passed
the age of 7 over 3 decades ago. :-)

Before I give you my opinion...let me just tell you that I've studied natural healing remedies for over 30 years but I don't recommend any of those remedies in
your daughters case. At least...not just yet.

First, try giving her some plain old Milk Of Magnesia. Give her 1 TBSP and try to
get her to drink at least a glass of water after it. If nothing has happened in
about 3 hours...give her 1 more TBSP and another glass of water.

She probably isn't going to want to take the Milk Of Mag......it doesn't taste at
all...but you know, it has that 'chalky' feel and very flat...bland...no taste ...
taste. :-) So if she won't take it...you can put it in some milk, or chocolate
milk...or mashed potatoes...just about anything...because it isn't going to change
the taste of anything you put it in. You could even put in it a little soup.
Whatever you put it in...don't give her much of the actual 'food or drink' because
you want her to get it all down.

If you want to...you can even give her the 2 TBSP all at once in whatever you're
putting it in. And don't worry...2TBSP is not too much for a 7 year old. You can
even buy the Milk Of Magnesia at the dollar store if you don't have any.

NOW!!! If getting it down her is going to be a problem...make a game of it. Either
find a childs bank...at the dollar store or anywhere...or make one out of a jar.
If you use a jar...cut a hole in the lid so it will be more fun for her. Give her
50 cents or a dollar (in lots of small change)..and then...every time she drinks a
glass of water after the dose of Milk Of Mag...give her more small change to add to
her jar...even 10 pennies or whatever. Tell her that when her jar is full...you'll
take her to buy something just for her and she can pick it out. You can put a straw in a glass of water and keep it in
the frig...to make drinking the water more fun for her. Let her empty each glass...
so she feels she's making progress...then give her a nickle or dime or something
to put in her jar.

This WILL work, April! And it will work within a day...probably within a few hours.

Your daughter probably isn't getting enough fiber...and she for sure isn't getting
enough water. Few kids DO drink much water.
The doctors advice of giving her a mineral Oil Enema is a perfect example of why
we say here on curezone that doctors treat the symptom instead of the cause.
We KNOW she's constipated...but just treating the symptom today...isn't going to keep her from being constipated TOMORROW....what does he expect you to do...follow
her around and give her an enema every day?

Hope you'll try this...and keep me posted. Sunday is a really busy day for me...
but I'll try to check back later today. And I'm sure you'll get other advice...but this is so simple and effective...I hope you'll try it before trying anything more
involved that's really going to stress your daughter out. This absolutely WILL work
and with no hastle...I guarantee it!!! :-) kathryn
