Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 I was reading the warnings from Ian Shillingham and thought I'd like to tell my success story. It's about my daughter. When she was 2 she contracted a mystery illness, constant vomiting even on an empty stomach, she was hospitalised and put on a drip and recovered in a couple of days. This happened several times. About a week after all occurances I noticed she had a molar, the paedatrician told me that teething does not do this to a child. She had xrays, barium meals and blood tests. The only thing that came up was signs of an infection in the barium. We were referred to another Paedatrician, who look one look at her and said that in the back of his mind he sensed Guardia. He wouldn't put her through anymore tests to find out as she had enough stress so he gave her the correct antibiotics and told me that it lies dormant and comes out at times of stress hence the teething time. We believe she picked it up from a swimming pool, the owners let their pool go green over winter and mega dosed with chlorine, which does not kill Guardia. My DD never had this sort of attack again, though she had other problems. She constantly caught every cold/flu going around and coughed every night. She would get pnumonia(sp) and ended up in hospital once and almost several times. She was constantly on antibotics, was diagnosed asmatic and treated for it. I got fed up with only treating the symptoms so I took her to a Natropath. He looked in her eyes and picked up on something she had complained about that day, a stiff neck (took her to the Dr because of the menincoccyl scares, just got scoffed at). He saw no asthma (sp?) and stated she had weak lungs because her immune system was so messed up (never properly recovered from the Guardia). He prescribed a herbal contoction to be taken over a month. She was ill that month and Dr prescribed antibotics again. I didn't get the prescription filled kept it just in case, she didn't need them. That was over 3 years ago, she's probably had anitbotics 2 or 3 times for unrelated stuff. I didn't know whether to tell our Dr, but did on our next visit, several months later, he'd thought we'd changed Drs. He was so happy! We're so happy, I don't think she has been ill this winter at all, better school record than her 1st grade year, in a 16 week period she had 40 days off. I don't hesitate to tell people to try a Natropath but we still need MDs and don't hesitate taking my children to one if needed, much less these days. Sorry this has been so long, now that I have bored you with my story would love to be bored with yours too. ;-) Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
