Over-the-counter and prescription drugs are powerful agents that force a change in your child's body. This is the nature of any drug you may give to your child.
Food, and whole food concentrates, both used in safe alternative medicine, do not force a particular change in children, but they do support the healthy, natural functions and physiology of your child.
If, because you notice symptoms in your child, you want to give your child something that will cause dramatic and immediate changes, you are like most consumers who are looking for conventional medicines to treat their children. However, if you are not desperate for strong and immediate changes in your child, and are more concerned with the long-term safety of the treatment you choose, you are smart to look for non-toxic, safe, healthy alternatives to conventional medicine.
Alternative medicine includes more than something that your child takes by mouth. People often forget that Chiropractic adjustments (proven as safe and beneficial to the immune system, as well as the nerves that communicate throughout your child's body) are a great way to help your child's body come back into a healthy balance. Children love getting adjusted by a chiropractor, and they respond incredibly fast. Notable are the safe and fast resolutions of ear-aches, cough, colic and allergies, when children who need a chiropractic adjustment get the correct treatment!
Children can safely take a variety of food supplements that are made from real food, herbs, or specific nutrients. Homeopathic remedies are also safe for children to use. If you are concerned about a particular symptom, (even
childhood ADD and ADHD) remember that food supplements, herbs, homeopathic remedies and chiropractic adjustments, all part of alternative medicine and a natural medicine plan, are best at supporting your child's natural functions and healthy physiology. At times, going this alternative route can take a few days to show the results you desire but the results would be without any toxic residue. Other times, natural medicine can give very speedy results, especially when your chiropractor determines and uses the exact match for your child's needs. Either way, the results should be more lasting than short-lived drugs, because the food supplements are not designed to just temporarily cover and hide your child's symptoms. They are
the building-blocks of authentic healing,
recovery, and a healthy life.
With safe, natural alternative medicine, the real difference between children and adults is the amount that you give to them. The dosage listed on any bottle is meant for an adult. It would generally be safe to start a child on up to one half of that amount, You can usually start with less than half.
Look for supplements that are actually made from real food. Seek the guidance of a holistic chiropractor, who includes the full-scope of natural alternative medicine in his chiropractic practice. This will take the burden –of trying to be your child's doctor– off of your shoulders, and will make the whole process of finding the right natural medicine easier for you. There's a physio-logical reason why your child needs the alternative medicine support he, or she needs to be healthy and stay healthy. The chiropractor who is well versed in determining the exact natural medicine food supplements your child needs, and who can give you additional alternative choices in using these, instead of toxic conventional medicines, is a necessary asset to have for keeping children safe in today's toxic world.
