Allergies and Asthma: Prevent and Prepare!
Submitted by on February 23, 2010 - 2:58pm.Allergies and asthma are on the rise in children; in the U.S., approximately 20% of children suffer from either asthma or allergies. As the incidence of what we call “hot” diseases, or infections, has decreased, the occurrence of “cold” diseases such as allergies, asthma, and autism have increased. Asthma is often associated with—and sometimes caused by--allergies, so we’ll address both.
Kid's Corner: Hydrotherapy
Submitted by on November 11, 2009 - 11:21am.Hydrotherapy-- the application of water for healing benefit-- is a great way to balance your child’s immune system at the start of a cold or flu. One of the best treatments at the very beginning of an infection is the Alternating Foot Bath, which increases levels of white blood cells (the ones that fight infection). Kids love to make a mini-party out of this treatment! It is also effective for adults.
