Need advise on alternative medicine for 2 year old child with bronchities
I leave in houston texas and have a 2 year old son that has got
bronchities twice in a month. He is currently on the Nebulizer with Pulmicort and Albuteral. He also recently broke his arm from a minor fall. I am trying to find a natural medicine that will not have bad side effects like weaking his bones. Maybe there is someone out there that has been thru this same situation. I child that gets bronchities every time the weather changes. I appreciate any feed back on this matter. Meily |

Why do you assume that 1) minor falls do not cause fractures, and 2) that
his medications caused his bones to weaken? "Meily" wrote in message om... I leave in houston texas and have a 2 year old son that has got bronchities twice in a month.

He is currently on the Nebulizer with Pulmicort and Albuteral. Bronchitis twice a month isn't bronchitis, it's asthma. Exactly. People who use euphamisms such as "bronchitis" or "reactive airways disease" to avoid the "A" word may be doing a disservice to the child as it can often lead to inappropriate treatment. The oldest such child I've seen was 8 years old. She was having a very typical asthma attack, was in the ER, and mom told me she had been doing this since her infancy. Her doctor had always prescribed her antibiotics for "bronchitis" and she had never had an inhaler. Who knows how long she went with chronic airway inflammation that by that time probably had caused now irreversible changes in her pulmonary histology that will guarantee she now won't outgrow the asthma, which changes may have been prevented by early and prolonged use of inhaled corticosteroids. Are the pulmicort and albuterol helping? He also recently broke his arm from a minor fall. I am trying to find a natural medicine that will not have bad side effects like weaking his bones. What is causing you to think that his current medications are weakening his bones? She probably looked up a list of general side effects of corticosteroids, not realizing that osteoporosis from steroids is caused by chronic systemic dosing, not by inhaling only a few micrograms of it. To think a two-year-old could have already developed clinically significant osteoporosis leading to increased susceptibility to fractures from using Pulmicort would be like thinking your roof will cave in if a crow poops on it twice.

We would all like to find a perfectly safe medicine with absoulely no side effects. However, because something is natural does not mean it is safe. Cyanide is a natural compound. It is not safe. And "natural" medicine, whatever that is, is rarely effective. Maybe there is someone out there that has been thru this same situation. I child that gets bronchities every time the weather changes. Seeing a pulmonologist or an allergist might help. Jeff I appreciate any feed back on this matter. Meily |

I child that gets bronchities every time the weather changes. can you locate a good Doctor of Osteopathy who uses alternative approaches? a Traditional Chinese physician who does herbs, acupuncture and massage? Why would anyone want to do that? She wants something that is proven effective. or a naturopath? You mean a witch doctor? (Naturopath is the PC term for witch doctor). BTW, just make sure the naturopath does not have a mail order degree. A lot of them do. have you gotten rid of carpets? Why? Vacuuming and a good air filter removes dust. |

ImmunoStart is one of the best immune system supports around and it's
chewable (you can grind it up to give to your 2 year old).

Why would someone want to give some chemcial laced substance from MannaDreck

It's not chemical. It's food based.
