Sabra, I got the chien chin on Saturday and have been taking it. It seems to be helping my daughter. She still has a red spot that is taking a while to go away.

She is still taking the Rhus Tox. I have only given it to her twice a day due to the yeast infection.

She has a runny nose still mostly at the beginning of the day. It is thick pale greenish yellow.

The most concerning symptom is that she has a rattling going on yesterday and today. I believe it is in her throat. It is as if she just needs to cough, but doesn't realize it. When she coughs sometimes it is loose, others it is like a dry choking cough.

It has been damp and rainy and misty here. Today it is a little colder than other days.

Lousy Rhus Tox weather. Keep the doses going.

The body knows how to cough naturally. She cannot hold it back for want of knowing how. So, I imagine she is reacting to the weather and new introduction of the Chien chin.

You have had an on-going condition with this little child since a few weeks old. She will continue to show various symptoms until her little body gets rid of it all.

Please do not fall into fears. It is going as I would expect it to. She will feel your fear and become stressed.

Keep posting any symptoms.

Blessings, Sabra

Re: Imhoopes....lost you in the shift From lmhoopes on 2005-03-01
Hi Sabra,
Thanks for trying to find me . . . We moved over the weekend and daily routines/ daily living has been turned upside down it seems.

My daughter is doing better. Her nose is not running anymore. She does still have the cough, sometimes loose, sometimes drier sounding. It is only about twice a day that she coughs.

Her yeast infection seems to be going away.
I have not been real regular in giving her the Rhus Tox or taking the Chien Chin because of the chaos surrounding the move.

She has not been sleeping well. Before the move she started being a little restless, and then the last two nights that we have been in the new place she has been restless, always around 4:00 am. Last night she was awake and restless, talking and wanting to play and be up from 3:30 until 6:00. Rescue Remedy and rocking finally helped.
I'm thinking that the sleeping problem is less to do with her cold and yeast infection and more to do with the move.

I'm still going to take the rest of the Chien Chin because I think I had a touch of the yeast infection too and it doesn't seem to be gone completely yet. And I'm giving my daughter the Rhus Tox, but will probably try once a day since she got better and I was giving it to her sporadically over the weekend.

Great, good to hear from you. I have now 5 mothers with similar conditions, but none with same remedies. Keeps me hopping to be sure.

I think you are correct about the move being the sleep interruptions with your daughter.

Don't forget she will pick up all your emotions, even misunderstand gladness for anxiety as she can't tell the difference yet. Smile to her often, and it has to be sincere; that is one thing they are born knowing.
Blessings, Sabra
 
Re: Imhoopes....lost you in the shift From lmhoopes on 2005-03-02
Sabra,
My daughter continued today with a dry cough every once in a while. No runny nose still.
There was a new symptom that I wanted to tell you about. I don't think it is a big concern, but it is a new symptom. Just before settling down to go to sleep tonight, she coughed and there was a high pitched whistling sound. I guess that would be wheezing?
Her cheeks are a bit red. It was a sunny day, but in the 30s and we went for a walk. So maybe being in the cold is the reason for the red cheeks.
 
Re: Imhoopes....lost you in the shift From sabra on 2005-03-02
You are getting very good at "reading" your child. Right about the red cheeks.
The high whistle may be temporary with the walk, or something to watch.

Remember the condition is troubled by the chill of the weather. Going for walks will have to wait. This is the symptoms that called for the RHUS TOX. If she awakens during the night, depending on how she is acting, might consider giving one dose.

Airing out the house may be a good idea, but maybe not to go outside with child quite yet. She is still young and the next 2-3 years will toughen her up and form defences to the weather so she can play in it.
Keep up the good work.
Blessings, Sabra

Hi Sabra,

My daughter's cough is better and her nose stopped running. She has not had Rhus Tox since about Monday I am thinking. She has a dry cough very infrequently.

Her yeast infection was gone. I finished the chien chin early this week.

She has a diaper rash now though. It is prickly looking in places. She seems to be in some pain but not as she was a couple of weeks ago. Tonight when I got her ready for bed though, it was bleeding.

She has been eating very well lately. A lot of bananas and bread, sweet potatoes, apple sauce, organic O's, chicken and stars.

I am thinking that the rash is from one of the foods and am going to try to cut out apple sauce. She did have some apple sauce with blackberries which I thought caused it, so I gave her plain apple sauce with cinnamon, and she still has it.

She does not have any other symptoms really. She has been a happy girl lately. Takes naps, sleeps well at night.

Do you think it is the yeast infection creeping back? I have had pineapple juice the last couple of days and am wondering if that could get into my milk and cause her diaper rash.

She had a couple of falls on Thursday and Friday, one of which gave her a bruise on the forehead.

I don't know if weather is important for this one or not, but it has been pretty warm here the last couple of days-- 60s and 70s, windy and sunny. Earlier in the week we did have some colder weather and dreary, cloudy days. On the warmer sunny days she has been outside for a little while--half hour to an hour.

One doesn't realize Pineapple juice is so acid for a baby. And she had bananas. This too was high in sugars. Both sugars. As you have been fighting the thrush for so long, you must constantly remind yourself about the sugar content in foods.

Thrush is Candida. This is a sugar "mold" in the body.

Bananas are 90% carbs. Breads are carbs. Carbs are sugars. Even though juices are so good tasting, very bad for you, and particularly after the long bout with thrush. It is so easy to forget when one is busy setting up home. Get bread made from sprouted seeds. This is not so much carbs. Bread is hard to actually give up. Use real butter always.

Water, water, BOTTLED water. No sodas. If sweetened becomes necessary use STEVIA in the yellow box from health store. It is good and least expensive. Not the liquid...yuk.

Use the glycerine for skin.

Buy up different kinds of squashes. Some are carb, but most are not. (ask) Boil, mash. Real butter. No potatoes for either of you. Green beans and brocolli ok, no peas. Nothing white except yogurt from goat. Baby food lamb.

If you decide on buying jars of baby food, buy all separate, not mixes. Mixes always have carbs. Always read every label. Maltodextrine is wheat. carmel color is wheat. Most soy sauce is wheat. Aspertame is poison. It has 5 names, so do not use ANYTHING diet.

When one has candida, one craves sugars, so you drank delicious juice. I can't blame you. Nearly every other woman in the world has it.

You might continue with the Chein Chin some more. There is a remedy called Candida, but I have not found it very successful.

I am so sorry, I thought you understood the sugars.

Blessings, Sabra
 
sabra last decade
Thanks Sabra. I knew about the sugar and just forgot when the juice was offered to me.

Thankfully, the bread she eats is sprouted grain, so that is hopefully not adding to it. We will do a diet change tomorrow!
 
lmhoopes last decade
Hi Sabra,

I have changed my daughter's diet as well as I can--and mine too. Some of the squash, she will eat, but not the beans and the squash is hit and miss. As a result, she has had a lot of sprouted grain bread and whole grain cereal which I am not so sure is that great for her at this time, but she needs to eat something.

Her diaper rash was looking better for a while after I used the glycerin. Tonight again it was pretty red again and the skin almost looked to be peeling in one spot. Surprisingly, she does not seem to be in great pain, maybe just a bit uncomfortable.

I am taking the chien chin and gave her a bath in the cider vinegar again. It doesn't seem to be helping this time.

I am thinking that the rash is just that--a diaper rash and not the yeast coming back. She does not have the vaginal swelling that she had a few weeks ago, but her vagina was a little red tonight, so that makes me think it is yeast.
 
lmhoopes last decade
Be objective, avoid worrying. The cereal is whole grain of What?? Please no mixture. If you are uncertain of wheat, Get only rice cereal for awhile.

If your baby does not like beans, do not push. It may be green things right now. Try mashed carrots and beets (separate). Beets are boiled with skin on, cool enough to handle and the skin and all just "pushes" off clean. A real easy vegie to handle.

Both beets and carrots are sugary. Do not use the pot water. Not as much of a carb as natural sugary. Not much different but enough to see how she reacts and gives you a wider diet right now.

So give one bit and watch the diaper area. If no worse, maybe this sugar can be tolerated. Go slowly. Little meals all day. Maybe 5.

Please consult a nutritionist at the health store. They have more knowledge than I. There may be a book. They know more about gluten and things good to eat that do not contain it. We do not even know if she is sensitive to it (wheat). The reason I am so on it is because so many are. And it is a carb.

One must learn every potential carb due to the thrush/candida.

If you are sure of a squash and she is balking, spread a thin bit on a piece of the sprouted bread. She will accept better and get used to many flavors. Your milk is good for her, no need to hurry/worry. She WILL let you know if she is hungry. They are born hungry and if not, something is wrong.

Keep in touch, I will watch.

Blessings, Sabra

Hi Sabra,

I ended up having a nutritionist help me with food for my daughter to eat. She can have only a few things, no yeast or wheat. I get by with giving her rice tortillas and that seems to work for her. We also put bifidus and acidopholus in her food twice a day.

We did this diet for about a month pretty well and the yeast infection cleared up. I thought I would try other foods for her because she seems to want more variety. Well, that was a mistake. Her infection is back.

I am following the diet again and it seems to be less painful after one day.

I am wondering if there is a homeopathic remedy that she can take that will be corrective so that eventually--some month or year--she can have a more varied diet without getting yeast infection. The chien chin gets rid of it, but is it corrective, as the homeopathics are?

I also have tried giving her goat milk and goat yogurt at the suggestion of the nutritionist. She is just not interested. I am concerned about her calcium intake since she is probably not getting as much of my milk any more. Maybe that is a wrong assumption to make. She is 13 months old and nurses about 4 times a day and then at night.

Also, she is small and thin. About 28 inches long and 17 1/2 pounds at her doctor's appt a month ago.
 
lmhoopes last decade
Get some STEVIA to sweeten the Goat's milk and yogurt. This is from a plant and not a "sugar"

Chien Chin IS a healer, not a "crutch." Homeopathy will "heal" also, but it always changes as the child grows.

The candida/yeast/thrush, will cease as one learns the foods and the child grows into maturity. She will have to learn all this too.

I didn't read over all the post again, I hope I told you to NO BABY SHOTS (i.e.) vaccines full of mercury....I hope?

If you want more on mercury, read the last of RSV's posting. I printed them all out for her husband that has doctors in fam.

So, When your little one is well and level again, get some PERTUSSIN 1M. This would be the first immunization homeopathically. It looks like little ones are too lible for Whooping Caugh.

1 dose only and one month later another dose. Before nursery or school or family gatherings, 1 more dose. Only when feeing well.

I was surprised to see this post again, it is great when we can post once and it pops to the front again. Easier.

Let me know if I missed something.

Blessings, Sabra

Weight...fat babies are cute, but not really healthy.

Use the stevia to encourage her trying new things, and then cut it back little by little so the true flavor comes through.

Hard boil some eggs and see if she likes...or they like her.

Avoid tuna in any form. Use baby lamb meat. Or if she is big enough, get lamb ground at health store.

She WILL get hungry as she begins to grow and this will solve the problem. Water and more water.

Laugh with her. It is a great healer for all.

Blessings, Sabra

Thanks for the ideas. I think some of my alarm is that we went to a one year old's birthday party yesterday and he was closer to my two and a half year old's size than my 13 mo old's size. And the lack of drinking milk was bothering me.

I'll try the stevia.

Also, wanted to tell you that the way I found the old post was to click on my username and then it shows everything I have posted and I just found this title and clicked on it.

Hi Sabra,

My daughter's yeast infection is improving with going back on her more limited diet. She has a cold now though.

She started with a slightly runny nose around Monday. On Wednesday it was more runny and kind of greenish yellow bubbly.

Yesterday it was greenish and stringy in the morning and then became more liquid the reste of the day.

Last night during the night she had disturbed sleep due to a stuffed up nose. Her breathing was heavy but at a normal rate.

This morning it is thick and greenish yellow discharge.

No fever.

I'm going to make or get some salt solution for her nose. I need to figure out the proportions if I make it. Do you know what the measurements are for the salt solution?

And to give you more background without having to read the whole post, when she had the yeast infection a couple of months ago she also had a cold and she took Rhus Tox.
 
lmhoopes last decade
To make a saline solution, use bottled water. One cup and about 1/4 tps salt. Taste it and it shouldn't hardly taste. If you taste too much, add 1/4 cup water to the cup. There should be a question in your mind wether it is salty or not. If you use sea salt, this would be good.

You didn't mention chilly, fever, sad or happy or....

HEPAR SULPH C. comes to mind as it follows the mucus description. Good for little children.

PULSATILLA is also good for greenish mucus.

You are pretty good about comparing the remedies. Check and tell me more.

Blessings, Sabra
 
sabra last decade
OK, read the other one. Keep me posted about the boy with Poison Ivy, especially the fever. If it stays low-grade this is the PI.

Inform me of any changes. I did suggest 3 more doses of RT.

Blessings, Sabra
 
sabra last decade
Hi Sabra,

I gave my son the Rhus Tox this morning for the poison ivy. The rash on the inside of his arm is still there and during the day, I noticed the other arm has it in the same place--inside the elbow. It may have gotten a little better over the day but not a great deal that I could notice anyway. It is hard to tell if it itches him or not.

His runny nose seems to have improved though. Still some mucus but better.

No fever.

I gave him another dose of Rhus Tox before bed because of the rash still being there. Should I just continue the Rhus Tox as long as the rash is present?

Now onto my daughter. I ended up giving her pulsitilla in the morning and before bed. I think during the day it was helping her nose not run as much. Now that she is settling into sleeping it seems her nose may be stuffed up, so I will give her the salt solution if her sleep is affected by it.

She has no fever either.

Her mood has been good, maybe a little more cranky but it is hard to tell because she is asserting her independence more now and it may just be that she is telling me she wants to do/eat something different.

Thanks for your help.
Linda
 
lmhoopes last decade
Just want to add to my last post. I think pulsitilla fits her better right now because she has yellowish green mucus, sudden cough, restless sleep, deep breathing. More seemed to match than with Hepar Sulph.
 
lmhoopes last decade
Seems that you are making good choices and "seeing" your children in an objective way and learning to understand the conditions they are going through.

Keep RT at least twice a day and then when you feel it is ok, stop and watch his progress. The rash is the part coming "out" and this is why it takes time.

Without a fever, I am sure of the RT. If he developes a strange sort of fake cough, this is the PI in the lungs. As it has been several days, he is probably more well than ill.

I do not forsee any problems at this time. They both sound like little children with their little problems.

Please do not compare your child to another. She will read your mind and while not knowing really what you think, she will feel the negative comparison and your distress. Most mothers do not realize that on some level, their children are mind-readers.

When children begin school this seems to recede greatly, but damage is done before hand and hard to erase.

Say things like, You are a beautiful, smart little girl...I am so proud of you.

When she does something interesting or tries to communicate in some way, tell her how good that was, etc.

Speak to your children always in positive admiring ways. Explain the difference as not to "spoil" with "giving things." "Things" spoil, not love.

When they get out in the world with the bullies and the stupids, they will have an odd detached attitude about NOT BELIEVING them, because you have already prepared them in their self worth. The will only believe you, not others who are negative.

When my first son began 1st grade, his very first weeks' experience is when an older child ran at him to hurt him. Instead of being scared, he leaped out of the way and this boy fell and hurt himself crying...and my son walked away.

When he got home, he told me about it and asked why this boy did this. I just said that some parents do not explain things to their children and they become confused. He was very proud of himself for not engaging in a fight. It needs to be done from infancy.

Even compliment the progress of becoming well. Mention the good progress and it is so great to be well and happy.

Look, the rash is almost gone! You are well now.

They will be ill much less. The mind is a powerful thing.

Keep posting.

Blessings, Sabra
