The FDA is finally looking into hidden chemicals in sunscreen. I am happy to hear this but sad to also say hidden chemicals are in most lifestyle products and are causing all types of disease states in children. They are found in sneaky things like natural flavors, extracts, the wrapping and lining of food containers. Seeping into our water. I could go on and on and on. It's gettin' serious. I almost want to specialize in environmental chemical exposure.

Sunscreens under scrutiny: New FDA rules coming after summer’s end, plenty of confusion over what’s safe Mineral or chemical sunscreens? How much does it matter that the body absorbs some chemicals? Those are among the questions being decided.

Hydrate with electrolytes: coconut water, water with added sea salt. Water alone is not as quickly absorbed in the cells.⁣
⁣
Avoid hidden forms of MSG, preservatives, dyes, fragrances, and pesticides.⁣
⁣
Check your response to Stress and Breath daily to lower it. (4-7-8 breathing technique takes 2 min a day)⁣
⁣
Digital detox: use blue light glasses and choose to use your phone for a restricted amount of hours a day.⁣
⁣
Address gut dysfunction: If the gut is off balance, you don't absorb your minerals and vitamins. Also, chemicals leak into the body.⁣
⁣
Sleep ritual: same time, cool, dark place, same hours. The more consistent the better⁣
⁣
Replace nutrient deficiencies:⁣
Common ones include Magnesium, CoQ10, B2, Alpha lipoic acid⁣

It’s that difficult time of year when your kids collide with all types of viruses. Statistics show that, on average, children will acquire two viruses per month during their first year of daycare or school, each lasting 10 to 14 days. If you do the math, you can see why it seems your child is sick the entire winter season!

We want to arm you and your kids to fight viral attacks with natural ways to boost the immune system. With our protocols, we can also shorten the number of days impacted by viral illness. And let’s not forget one of the most important reasons for immune support is prevention of secondary bacterial infections and use of antibiotics.

𝓝𝓪𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓵 𝓦𝓪𝔂𝓼 𝓽𝓸 𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓼𝓽 𝓘𝓶𝓶𝓾𝓷𝓮 𝓢𝔂𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓶

The following describes the typical natural protocol for flu prevention that we use in our office. These treatments should not be administered to all children; some are too young and some may worsen or have an allergy. Some essential oils are deadly when ingested and should always be kept out of reach of children. Dr. Nicole gives this information as an illustration of the natural healing protocols, and advises that you and your sick child are seen by a medical provider for correct diagnosis, dosage guidance, and other treatment instructions.

𝓗𝓲𝓰𝓱-𝓭𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝓥𝓲𝓽𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓷 𝓓: 400 IUs for infants, 1000-2000 IUs for toddlers, 3000 IUs for school age and 4000-5000 IUs per day for middle school and above.

𝓔𝓵𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓫𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂 𝓢𝔂𝓻𝓾𝓹: (with low sugar content) once daily for prevention purposes; the dose on the bottle is typically based on a 3-year-old child. An important research study showed that the combination of Vitamin D and Elderberry given to a child daily in the winter was more effective than a flu shot.

𝓩𝓲𝓷𝓬: Zinc prevents viral replication inside of cells and when deficient, the immune system is impaired. Some forms of zinc can cause nausea on an empty stomach, others do not. Typical dosing is 0-1 year: 4-5 mg daily, 3 years: 5-10 mg daily, 4-12 years 10-25 mg daily. If you overdose on zinc, you can affect your sense of smell, so be cautious.

𝓓𝓲𝓯𝓯𝓾𝓼𝓮𝓻 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓐𝓻𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓹𝔂 𝓞𝓲𝓵: run all night near the bed, but out of reach. There are respiratory oil blends or mixes such as eucalyptus, tea tree, oregano oil and thieves’ oil (which is itself a blend of essential oils). When the oils are inhaled into an inflamed airway, they can kill the infection or clear the inflammatory cells. Oregano oil is great for bacteria, thieves’ oil is great for mold, and tea tree cleanses everything. Eucalyptus opens the airway, though a small percentage of children actually cough more, so use with caution. The oils should blow indirectly over the room, not directly into the nares of the child.
**Cinnamon and Ginger: Diffuse together to treat stomach aches. Cinnamon stabilizes the blood sugar and ginger soothes the stomach lining.

𝓕𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓒𝓱𝓸𝓲𝓬𝓮𝓼: Eat high-dose Vitamin C foods and eliminate wheat, sugar, and dairy as much as possible. Vitamin C works as a natural antihistamine. Wheat and cow’s milk cause congestion and increase mucus production. Homemade bone broths, coconut water, and lots of water provide proper hydration. If your child does not want to eat but is drinking well, that is okay.

𝓗𝔂𝓰𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓮: Of course, take care to frequently wash hands and separate symptomatic kids from others, especially if they exhibit fatigue, fever and/or sniffles. If your child has the flu, expect a fever for up to 4-5 days and fatigue, poor appetite and cough for up to two weeks. If a child is wheezing, short of breath, dehydrated, or has a prolonged fever or other concerns, get medical attention.

𝓖𝓪𝓻𝓵𝓲𝓬 𝓔𝓪𝓻 𝓞𝓲𝓵: Warm oil can be placed in the ears 5 times on the first day and 3 times a day for 2 more days. You can buy garlic willow ear oil from the health food store or you can make it yourself with olive oil that you warm with fresh garlic juice. It is very important to warm up the oil and get it to coat the inner ear membrane. This means having the child lie on his side, pulling slightly up and back on the upper ear near the hole, and filling the canal until the oil pools at the opening of the ear canal to the top!

𝓝𝓸𝓼𝓮𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓪 “𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓢𝓷𝓸𝓽𝓼𝓾𝓬𝓴𝓮𝓻": (If tolerated by a younger child.) Children do not know how to blow their nose well and the congestion removed mechanically makes them more comfortable and avoids sinus or ear infection due to stagnant mucus.

𝓢𝓲𝓵𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓝𝓪𝓼𝓪𝓵 𝓸𝓻 𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓸𝓪𝓽 𝓢𝓹𝓻𝓪𝔂: Silver is a natural antimicrobial that works when it directly contacts the bugs in the nose and on the tonsils. Silver works best to prevent strep throat and viral pharyngitis when sprayed directly on the tonsils within the first few hours of sore throat or congestion. Ingesting silver is controversial to some, but exposure to a high quality silver nasal spray for days at a time is not enough silver exposure to cause a concern. Please ask for dosing guidance (esp younger children).

𝓦𝓪𝓻𝓶 𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓹𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓼 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓼 𝓹𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓾𝓻𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷:
Microwave a moist towel. Place the towel in a plastic bag. Wrap with a very thin towel and place over sinuses until heat dissipates. Repeat as needed.

Simple post. Truthful

I’m working so hard on making my biz make a difference for people, and it takes so much social media and other digital stuff. I have been so crazy busy this week. It’s wonderful because I believe in myself and the medicine I provide. Wirh every ounce of me. I believe that allowing the body to find its happiness works.

But at the same time it’s super sad the state we are in. all biz is like this. Even medicine. Advertising hospitals and making healing appealing.. And how bad insurance companies are and how broken the system is.

Wow. I was so upset by it for so long that I took a year off. Now I’m just ALL IN. Why? Because I have to and will make a difference

And that difference will spread. We don’t need doctors. We need to spread all the amazing info about how to not need this system.I don’t want You to need me. I want you to use my knowledge to have an awesome life.

Sometimes we need pills. Our instant society does offer them too much.

My goal: get you well before you need them!

Ways to restart healing for good: Stayed tuned on topics of interest..
