Samantha asks: "The new school year began and so far I am lucky but I'm terrified of going through another winter with my 4 year old being in school for three days then out for seven or eight because of an almost constant cough.
 
Last year she was given antibiotics twice and because I was not strong enough to stand up against the doctors claiming she would become dangerously sick if she didn't have them, I gave it to her. I've sworn that this year I will not take her to the doctor every time she coughs and gets the runny nose, but I'm not real sure what I can do to protect her or to get her healthy should it happen again? Are there are any natural and healthy cures for coughs caused by viruses and bacteria that work without antibiotics and what is the best way to keep this from happening again?"

QUESTION:

The new school year began and so far I am lucky but I'm terrified of going through another winter with my 4 year old being in school for three days then out for seven or eight because of an almost constant cough.
 
Last year she was given antibiotics twice and because I was not strong enough to stand up against the doctors claiming she would become dangerously sick if she didn't have them, I gave it to her. I've sworn that this year I will not take her to the doctor every time she coughs and gets the runny nose, but I'm not real sure what I can do to protect her or to get her healthy should it happen again? Are there are any natural and healthy cures for coughs caused by viruses and bacteria that work without antibiotics and what is the best way to keep this from happening again?

Thank you!
Samantha B.
 
ANSWER: I am not a doctor and I am not assuming to treat this child but some information I have learned over the years is;
Get her on Kids Mins chewables that has probiotics with minerals and vitamins. Those along with a teaspoon of Ionic Silver Water morning and night to boost the immune system and should kill any virus that pops up... If she should become ill before you get her immune system built up to the fighting level give her one Tablespoon of Ionic Silver Water twice daily for a week along with the Kids Mins. Works like a charm... You might ask the school if they have a hand washing policy and if not remind them that having the children wash their hands every hour goes a long way in stopping the spread of illnesses...
 
Keeping the cough away is the trick here simply because it can mean so many things other than a virus or bacteria. A cough could simply mean an allergy. Most pediatricians can't tell the difference anymore than they can tell an allergic reacting red ear from an ear infection.  (I've seen kids given antibiotics for allergies but the doctor was unable to ascertain that fact and didn't pay attention to the child's medical history.) Therefore tons of kids get antibiotics during the winter for something that isn't necessary and kills the immune system then making them susceptible to every bug that comes through the class room, which it sounds like is happening to your daughter? Strengthen the immune system and reduce the chances of getting sick or as sick? There are some good natural cough reducers available but my favorite is lemon honey tea? 8 ounces of boiling water with 1 Tablespoon honey and juice of
˝ lemon or the equivalent in lemon concentrate? My grandchildren like this as a hot tea even when well, but that was started when giving them the tea for their cough and runny nose? Also allergies can be eliminated over time by taking locally harvested honey daily! That should be started and continued before allergy season sets in and continue through the season, which is mainly spring and fall...
 
It takes sometimes six months for an immune system to recover from taking a 10-day regimen of manmade antibiotics thereby opening kids and adults up to every virus or bacterium they come in contact with in that time frame and taking even longer to rebuild it?

FILLING UP YOUR LIFE

We can live a long time without thinking about such things as "meaning" and "purpose" in life. But happy and healthy living requires that we visit these words from time to time

I have heard that Ralph Barton, a cartoonist of a former generation, left this note pinned to his pillow before taking his life: "I have had few difficulties, many friends, great successes; I have gone from wife to wife, and from house to house, visited great countries of the world, but I am fed up with inventing devices to fill up twenty-four hours of the day."

Whatever psychological problems may have afflicted him, Ralph Barton suffered from an empty life. He tried to fill it up -- with relationships and things and busyness. He was no doubt successful in his work. And probably well liked. His problem was that he felt his life had no meaning.

Educator Morrie Schwartz helps us put meaning into our lives. In Mitch Albom's audio book TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE (Grand Haven, MI: Nova Audio Books, Brilliance, 1997), he chronicles the final months of Morrie's life, as his former teacher slowly dies of Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS). Morrie, that irrepressible lover of life, says this: "So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep even when they are busy doing things they think are important. This is the product of chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

Do you want to be happy? Do you want a life that matters? Then fill it up with loving and caring for those around you! I guarantee, it will never seem empty again!

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================

Those Green Leaves Of Health!
 
When making my lunch of wilted greens. I dropped my leaves into the skillet of hot Olive Oil, Rice Vinegar, chopped celery and sweet chopped onion my mind went back to Popeye and Olive Oil, the cartoon characters that were so popular in my children's childhood. And remembered the muscles Popeye sported and wondered if that could possibly be true? Would these great green leaves build muscles.  Hence this weeks great green food, Spinach!
 
A few years ago my then six year-old granddaughter said, "No way am I eating spinach, it tastes nasty!"  We coaxed her into trying it, knowing that fresh spinach, cooked or not, doesn't resemble the taste of canned, that she had tried before. Her remarks after eating a whole serving was "Look everybody, take a picture, I'm eating spinach and it's good!" The grandchildren eat a lot of spinach when at our house and like it fixed in various ways.
 
History behind it; Spinach originally came from Persia  - now known as Iran - where its name was called "aspanakh". By the 1300s, it had spread to Europe and Britain where it was particularly popular during Lent. It was being cultivated in North America by the early part of the 19th century. Was used in medieval times by artists to produce a green pigment for illuminated manuscripts. It is one of the few non toxic natural green pigments, and is still used today as body paint. 
 
Spinach is a cool season crop and belongs to the goosefoot family along with Swiss chard and beets. Spinach is low in calories, and is a good source of vitamins and minerals, especially iron. Spinach was, supposedly, the first frozen vegetable to be sold.
 
But does it build muscles as Popeye spouted?
 
Scientists say those green leaves help reduce your risk of age-related macular degeneration, cancer, heart disease and neural tube defects. Also said to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke and cataracts. And the healthy dose of potassium and calcium found in spinach can help regulate your blood pressure. The benefits of spinach do not stop there! Spinach and other leafy greens also provide folic acid, which is known to reduce the risk of neural tube defect and heart disease. Some studies have gone so far as to say it even improves memory. Calorie for calorie, leafy green vegetables like spinach with its delicate texture and jade green color provide more nutrients than any other food. Although spinach is available in grocery stores here throughout the year their season runs from March through May and from September through October when it is the freshest, has the best flavor and is most readily available.
 
I suppose Popeye was right because of all the great energy and muscle building minerals and vitamins spinach contains. That being the minerals; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Selenium. Along with the vitamins  C, E, B-12, A, B-6, Folate, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folic acid, Pantothenic acid and Retinol.
 
If you do not grow your own, it can be found fresh in most grocery stores, in the U.S., year round either bunched or as leaves.  Shop for vivid, dark green spinach with firm leaves and stems, organic should be preferred. Avoid those with excessively thick, tough or woody stem ends. Smooth-leaf spinach is most often sold in bunches. Medium and Savoy varieties are more likely to be found loose or washed and partly stemmed in packages. I usually have a few jars of organic spinach in my canning cabinet of fruits and vegetables, grown by my husband each year, except for this year. He failed to plant enough for me and the prolific bugs and worms that love it as well.
 
Cleaning tip: It is imperative that fresh spinach be washed many, many, many times to removed dirt and little crawly creatures that love to invade those organic leaves.
 
It's relatively perishable and should be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator. It's best eaten as soon as possible after purchase or picking.
 
My Simple Wilted Salad that started the thought on spinach:
 
Enough for one person!
 
6 cups fresh, clean spinach leaves
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Seasoned Rice Vinegar
cup chopped fresh sweet onions
1 Rib of celery chopped and/or cup chopped bell pepper
 
Heat Olive oil and vinegar in a deep skillet, large enough to hold the initial six cups of spinach, placed over a medium hot burner. Add onions and celery, sauté for about two or three minutes ( I like the onions and celery to still have a crunch to them). Add spinach and toss constantly until all leaves are coated with olive oil and vinegar and wilted. Remove from burner and serve warm as a salad or side dish!

 
My mother always made her wilted salad with fresh mixed loose leaf lettuce and spinach greens with regular vinegar and sugar, which was a different flavor
 
Eat your spinach and be healthy!
