I was one of the moms that questioned everything I did when it came to making sure my children were healthy. I thought that it was okay to give them medicines several times a week in fact the doctors prescribed it most of the time. I backed it up with what I thought was best from over the counter.
Many drugs over the counter are truly over rated. We have seen it on the news lately about cough medicines having virtually no impact on the common cold right down to the commonly used pain medications not being recommended at all for infants anymore. Why do they say that it’s for infants on the box anyway? I am not sure about you but I don’t know who to trust.
Many children today receive unnecessary prescriptions for both over the counter medicines to the antibiotics that KILL the immune system by the time they are just 5 years old. A recent study indicated that children on antibiotics more the six times by age three often have no immune builders on their own.
Scary thoughts! We have the sickest generation of children happening right now with allergies, asthma, sinuses, ADD and more.
For the past two years I have not medicated my children and my new born has not had to go to the doctor with a cold, ear infection or skin problem like the older ones. I truly believe it is because of the changes we have made in our home. Removing chemicals, toxins and other harsh environmental hazards can make the difference in a well child visit to the doctors and a sick visit.
