Sick baby

[Guest guest]

Hi guys.

My 14 month old has been raw since 10 months and was exclusively breastfed up

until

then. I have just weaned him, but prior to that he got really sick twice. I am

talking,

running nose, lethargic, temperature and now, green gunk coming from both the

nose and

eyes!!! What is going on?

He eats/drinks green smoothies normally in the morning, if not, just pureed

fruit, usually

one or occaisionally two fruits. Sometimes I add soaked sunflower seeds,

almonds to his

fruit. At night, he may have pureed carrot, cucumber or just a little fruit

with our family's

raw salad. He drinks water, but I may need to up the intake. I don't give him

raw grains

etc. Not too sure about preparing these.

I am getting a little concerned and my mother is very concerned as she is a

believer that if

one is sick, they are lacking, or having too much of something. She has been

100% raw

for 5 months, but she is not too sure about a baby being 100%.

This is the way I want to go, but why would I be getting opposition with his

health at the

moment. I am 80% raw most of the time, if not, more, even when I was

breastfeeding.

I figured when I had a few days of illness (detoxing), he may have got if from

my milk, but

this last bout doesnt add up as he wasnt on me when he got sick.

Thanks in advance guys

Hi Hinarera,

 

Did you ever check out these links?

I feel for your little guy...

 

I know this is a big shift from what we're taught in our mainstream

culture, but have you considered looking at it from the point of view

of nature? What would you and your baby do in nature, without

doctors telling you what nutrients you need, and without machines to

puree things? If you NEED to blend it for baby, it's probably

difficult for him to digest. (Not that you can't use a blender--I

like my smoothies, but I do consider what I would and wouldn't be

able to eat without my blender.)

 

I hope he's feeling better soon.

P.S. Hinarera, Are you very familiar with food combining? That would

be a great one to do a little research on. The fruit and nut combos

would be especially difficult (in addition to nuts being difficult all

on their own). Certain fruits don't mix well together, etc.

Especially for a baby, I think it would be really important.

 

Best wishes,

All babies get sick. No matter what anyone else says. It's normal. If you

think your baby gets the cold too often maybe its an immune system thing. It's

important even while raw that your baby has all their needles up to date. Its

necessary especially for when they go to school. They don't to care if were raw

or not. Those are just the basics by law.

 

There are foods you can give your baby that help build immunity to colds. They

are:

Garlic (Not sure how baby will take to that one lol)

CarrotsYogurt (But it's not raw, not sure why I'm listing this lol)

Mushrooms

Any orange vegetable like carrots (mentioned) and sweet potato's.

Beans ( because they have zinc)

Brazil nuts

Sunflower seeds

Omega 3 foods like flax seed.

 

Good luck!

My goodness, it's a BABY, not a garbage scowl. It is NOT normal for babies

to get sick, nor for humans at any age. And the foods suggested below are

difficult to digest or downright poisons to adults, heaven help the baby

that would be forced to ingest them. Never ever feed a baby garlic or

mushrooms or nuts and seeds. Their digestive system does' even begin to have

the resources to cope effectively with such things.

 

And the more research I see on vaccinations, the more I know that every

single one of them is a serious poison. These should be inflicted upon no

living creature, human or otherwise, at any age.

 

Sorry for the strong tone, but of such advice is great misery made, and I

would not wish that upon anyone.

 

Best,

Elchanan

Actually by law you can go in when (or if) you choose public education

and sign a waver at the health department saying it is against your

personal religious belief to get immunizations and they can do nothing

about it, so don't let it cause you fear.

 

My wonderful raw babies (at the time) went through Whooping cough when

my youngest was only 3 months old. We all came through it just fine.

Even better faster than those in the area who went though with a

doctors suppervision. However, what they did was right for them, they

had a child that went into convultions if it had a temp over 101.

 

I learned to make my own herbal remedies and yes I learned to make an

old fashioned mustard plaster. If you want to go natural you do have

some studying to do.

Now for the dietary situation. Babies do not like garlic it burns

their little mouths. If they need it you can put on a pair of socks

crush garlic and rub on the soles of the socks and put on another

pair of socks. This worked for me when mine had pnemonia.

 

If you give them sunflower seeds you blend 1/4 C raw seeds with 1 C

good water then strain. They drink the milk. For more Iron also add

in 1/4 C raw sesame seeds to the seed milk. My sweety grew up with

this for formula when I could no longer nurse him and he is my

healthiest.

 

Stay away from the mushrooms as they promote the wrong type of yeast

growth in the system they are a fungus.

 

Any fresh vegitable juices, such as carrots + greens work wonderful,

beets taste great. This is the only way you should ever try to get a

baby to take garlic or onion (keep it in very low doses) Stay away

from the cabage family unless they are at least a year since it is

difficult for many to digest.

 

Here is a recipe that worked for me when my children had whooping

cough and has worke awesome for whenever we felt somthing coming on

as is it a great immune system builder and babies love the taste. (We

call it Slime because it looks like something Slimer from the Ghost

Busters would have left behind - greenish yellow and slimy)

 

Slime

 

1/4 C Slippery Elm powder

1/8 C each of Echenacia,Goldenseal powders

2 Tbl. lobelia powder

Cheyene pepper, lemon juice, honey to taste

And as much water as it takes to make it pourable.

This usually makes about a quart and a half.

I usually use muscle testing on myself in behalf of whoever is sick

in order to get the ingredients just right for them. Usually given as

a Tablespoon (2 for adults) 3 times a day.

 

and just for the laws sake remember to consult a physician before

taking any herbal preperations or changing your diet.

 

 

 

Wether you choose the greatest healer of all time for your physician

is up to you.

 

In Peace

You mentioned that you were about 80% raw when you breastfed him and now he is

100%

raw. My guess is that he is simply detoxing the 20% cooked that he received

through your

milk. None of the symptoms you mention seem serious, although I know it is hard

to have

sick babies, I am a Mom myself. I would hang in there and enjoy the

housecleaning his

perfect little amazing body is doing.

Listen to you instincts though, if something feels like it's really wrong, then

get some help!
