Boosting immune system

[Mayzoo]

Hopefully we are on way out of our latest flare, and I am seriously looking into ways to boost kiddo's immune system through vitamins and homeopathy. What do you guys use that you feel is helpful? She is 10yrs, 60lbs and her current regimen is:

 

Keflex 500mg every day

Kids MV every day (children's one a day)

'Lil Critters Omega-3 W/D one chew per day (walmart brand)

Probiotic one per day (Healthy Origins 30 Billion)

Calcium 600mg W/Vitamin 400IU one a day

Bright Spark (Impulse control)

IBU 200mg Twice a day

Melatonin TR 5mg at bedtime

Cocunut Oil 17gm

 

Future changes:

 

I am going to change her MV to this: Nature's Way, Alive! Whole Food Energizer giving her one a day.

 

I am also adding in Planetary Herbs OLE Full Spectrum soon and will use it twice a day (still hoping to get off ABX soon ).

 

 

So, what do you guys do that you think helps to improve your kiddo's immune system subsequently reducing flares/infections? Thanks!!!

The daughter (who presents with autism, PANDAS) referred to in this blog was diagnosed with PANDAS by Dr K.

Abx were used for a short time, but treatment has moved onto an herbal protocol:

 

"Here's what we use now:

Goldenseal (GS) -- 500 mg, 5x per day

Oil of Oregano (OoO) -- 3 softgels per day

Berberine complex -- 200 mg, 4x per day

 

As needed if bacteria symptoms increase:

Neem Plus -- 1/2 cap, 4x per day

Alimed -- 1-2 drops per day

 

As needed for acute illness only:

Olive Leaf Extract (OlLE) -- 200 mg, 4x per day

Elderberry -- 1/2 cap 3x per day

(both are pure encapsulations)"

Thanks! My sweetie has autism as well. I will review all this, so far it looks good. I would love to get of ABX and go with prevention of flares rather than reaction to flares/infections in every situation possible.

Hello

 

My 14 y/o son is doing pretty good. Even though he's going to school and he's already caught a couple of colds...he is in very good conditions. Thanks God!!!

 

He's taking daily:

 

Zytromax. 250 mg

Vitamin D.

Iron

Quercetin + C

fluoxetin (very low dose)

If he's tired or I see him kind of "different" ibuprofen 3 x day minimum.
