Fever bug Fever bug go away!

After  more than a week long of fever episode, finally we are all recovered!

It all started from the father and JX who were down with high fever.

HY was high fever for 3 days while JX was on her 40degC for 3 days too.

I knew this time round the virus could be the stronger type as ever since we practice NI lifestyle, fever has become a stranger to us, even though we on fever, the fever normally subsided in 1 day or the most 2 days.

Subsequently, myself and JY also joined the fever party. Like what HY and JX, I was on fever for 5 days (which I never experience such a long fever before), JY & JX's fever took full 7 days to fully subside.

We brought JX to visit our PD as 3 days 40degC was rare to us. PD checked her lung ear and throat and ruled out bacterial infection possibility. PD was saying high chance was Influenza A or B, where he has few patients being hospitalised because of influenza virus.

Ok, coming to here, I would like to throw a question to audience:

Will you give fever medicine to your LO or yourself?




For me, as I fully aware that:

1. Fever is in fact not an illness by itself, it is a sign that our immune system is working hard to defense.

2. Cold medicine do not kill the virus/bacteria, it just suppress symptoms, yet leads to infection. same thing applied for cough syrup & fever medicine too.

3. Cough is an immune system reaction.
 
So the best way to do during fever or cold or cough is to keep our army healthy by nourish our immune system further so that it's able to carry out Defense, Cleanse and Repair function well.

Of course we are fully aware that long recovery might leads to complication in between, so we are blessed we know how to nourish our body, the army within us with NI food to win the battle in shortest time.

Another question to you:

When your kids developed rashes after taking medication, what can you do to speed up recovery without medication?

Towards the second day evening where JY still high fever at 40degC, to sooth her discomfort we gave one dosage of paracetamol to JY, and this was what happened - her eczema flared up the next day.

Before getting to know NI, we propably will continue giving medicine despite the eczema, as we dont know there's a better and safer way out than resorted to medication.

Thus, we felt blessed as we know medication is not the only way to recover from any illness or infection. https://nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.sg/2014/06/so-what-is-nutritional-immunology.html

Especially for our case where JY can't afford to take fever medication.
http://nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.sg/2014/08/nurofen-nearly-killed-daughter-girl-2.html

With proper rest, diet and NI food, we are now all recovered without medication.

And JY's eczema subsided after 3 days after applying Cactus Hydration Lotion.

What I want to conclude here is:

Regardless what causing fever, be it viral or bacterial ultimately we still rely on our immune system to fight against the invader. Immune system is our best doctor in the world.

Of course, monitor your kids behaviour. As long as your kids are behaving normal, have no problem in drinking, eating or passing motion, we just monitor and sponge them and rest and feed our army with NI food.

Like for our case, JY has possibility developing rashes if given medication. Then what can you do?

We need to be wiser parents, wiser consumer in order to know what is the best food for ourselves and our loved one.

We need correct nutrients on the daily basis to help is prevent illness, as prevention is not only better but safer & cheaper than cure.
When ill, we need adequate nourisement to aids in reovery.

Reveals shocking report on FLU VACCINES!

Johns Hopkins Scientist, Peter Doshi, Ph.D., Reveals Shocking Report on Flu Vaccines

A Johns Hopkins scientist has issued a blistering report on influenza vaccines in the British Medical Journal (BMJ). Peter Doshi, Ph.D., charges that although the vaccines are being pushed on the public in unprecedented numbers, they are less effective and cause more side effects than alleged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Further, says Doshi, the studies that underlie the CDC’s policy of encouraging most people to get a yearly flu shot are often low quality studies that do not substantiate the official claims.

Promoting influenza vaccines is one of the most visible and aggressive public health policies in the United States, says Doshi of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Drug companies and public officials press for widespread vaccination each fall, offering vaccinations in drugstores and supermarkets. The results have been phenomenal. Only 20 years ago, 32 million doses of influenza vaccine were available in the United States on an annual basis. Today, the total has skyrocketed to 135 million doses.

“The vaccine may be less beneficial and less safe than has been claimed, and the threat of influenza seems to be overstated,” Doshi says. Mandatory vaccination polices have been enacted, often in healthcare facilities, forcing some people to take the vaccine under threat of losing their jobs.
The main assertion of the CDC that fuels the push for flu vaccines each year is that influenza comes with a risk of serious complications which can cause death, especially in senior citizens and those suffering from chronic illnesses. That’s not the case, said Doshi.

 When read carefully, the CDC acknowledges that studies finding any perceived reduction in death rates may be due to the “healthy-user effect” — the tendency for healthier people to be vaccinated more than less-healthy people. The only randomized trial of influenza vaccine in older people found no decrease in deaths. “This means that influenza vaccines are approved for use in older people despite any clinical trials demonstrating a reduction in serious outcomes,” says Doshi.

Even when the vaccine is closely matched to the type of influenza that’s prevalent, which doesn’t happen every year, randomized, controlled trials of healthy adults found that vaccinating between 33 and 100 people resulted in one less case of influenza. In addition, says Doshi, no evidence exists to show that this reduction in the risk of influenza for a specific population — here in the United States, among healthy adults, for example — extrapolates into any reduced risk of serious complications from influenza, such as hospitalizations or deaths, among seniors.

“For most people, and possibly most doctors, officials need only claim that vaccines save lives, and it is assumed there must be solid research behind it,” says Doshi. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, he says.

Although the CDC implies that flu vaccines are safe and there’s no need to weigh benefits against risk, Doshi disagrees. He points to an Australian study that found one in every 110 children under the age of five had convulsions following vaccinations in 2009 for H1N1 influenza. Additional investigations found that the H1N1 vaccine was also associated with a spike in cases of narcolepsy among adolescents.

Doshi’s concerns echo those of Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon and author of “The Blaylock Wellness Report” who has deep concerns over the safety and efficacy of the flu vaccine.

Not only is the vaccine not safe, Dr. Blaylock tells Newsmax Health, it doesn’t even work. “The vaccine is completely worthless, and the government knows it,” he says. “There are three reasons the government tells the elderly why they should get flu shots: secondary pneumonia, hospitalization, and death. Yet a study by the Cochrane group studied hundreds of thousands of people and found it offered zero protection for those three things in the general community. It offered people in nursing homes some immunity against the flu — at best one-third — but that was only if they picked the right vaccine.”

A study released in February found that the flu shot was only 9 percent effective in protecting seniors against the 2012-2013 season’s most virulent influenza bug.

What’s even worse is that small children who are given the flu vaccine get no protection from the disease. “The government also says that every baby over the age of six months should have a vaccine, and they know it contains a dose of mercury that is toxic to the brain,” says Dr. Blaylock. “They also know the studies have shown that the flu vaccine has zero — zero — effectiveness in children under five.”

For most people, says Dr. Blaylock, flu vaccines don’t prevent the flu but actually increase the odds of getting it. The mercury contained in vaccines is such a strong immune depressant that a flu shot suppresses immunity for several weeks. “This makes people highly susceptible to catching the flu,” he says. “They may even think the vaccine gave them the flu, but that’s not true — it depressed their immune system and then they caught the flu.”

Mercury overstimulates the brain for several years, says Dr. Blaylock, and that activation is the cause of Alzheimer’s and other degenerative diseases. One study found that those who get the flu vaccine for three to five years increase their risk of Alzheimer’s disease 10-fold.

Doshi asserts that influenza is a case of “disease mongering” in an effort to expand markets. He points to the fact that deaths from flu declined sharply during the middle of the 20th century, long before the huge vaccine campaigns that kicked off the 21st century.

Why do drug companies push the flu vaccine? “It’s all about money,” says Dr. Blaylock. “Vaccines are a pharmaceutical company’s dream. They have a product that both the government and the media will help them sell, and since vaccines are protected, they can’t be sued if anyone has a complication.”

Doshi’s article “is a breath of fresh air,” says Dr. Blaylock. “This article exposes in well-defined and articulate terms what has been known for a long time — the flu vaccine promotion is a fraud.
“Here’s the bottom line,” says Dr. Blaylock. “The vast number of people who get the flu vaccine aren’t going to get any benefit, but they get all of the risks and complications.”

Is there a better way out other than vaccination?

Yes there is.

Why not just nourish our immune system with the correct nutrient from wholesome plant food, nourish our B cells so that it can protect us from batteries and viruses without any SIDE EFFECT!

Be a wise consumer.

Tests Find More Than 200 Chemicals in Newborn Umbilical Cord Blood

U.S. minority infants are born carrying hundreds of chemicals in their bodies, according to a report released today by an environmental group.

The Environmental Working Group's study commissioned five laboratories to examine the umbilical cord blood of 10 babies of African-American, Hispanic and Asian heritage and found more than 200 chemicals in each newborn.

"We know the developing fetus is one of the most vulnerable populations, if not the most vulnerable, to environmental exposure," said Anila Jacobs, EWG senior scientist. "Their organ systems aren't mature and their detox methods are not in place, so cord blood gives us a good picture of exposure during this most vulnerable time of life."

Of particular concern to Jacobs: 21 newly detected contaminants, including the controversial plastics additive bisphenol A, or BPA, which mimics estrogen and has been shown to cause developmental problems and precancerous growth in animals. Last month, researchers reported that male Chinese factory workers exposed to high levels of the chemical experienced erectile dysfunction and other sexual problems.

"BPA is a really important finding because people are really aware about its potential toxicity," Jacobs told reporters. "This is the first study to find BPA in umbilical cord blood, and it correlates with national data on it."

Jacobs said the study focused on minority children to show that chemical exposure is ubiquitous, building on 2005 research on cord blood from 10 anonymous babies. That study found a similar body burden among the babies. This is the first study to look at chemicals in minority newborns.
"Minority groups may have increased exposure to certain chemicals, but here we didn't focus on those chemicals," Jacobs said. "The sample size is too small to see major differences, but we want to increase awareness about chemical exposures."

Leo Trasande, co-director of the Children's Environmental Health Center at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, said the findings, while preliminary, show that minority communities are often disproportionately affected by chemical exposure. Trasande was not involved in the EWG study.
"Presently, minority communities suffer from a host of chronic disorders, and disproportionate chemical exposures may contribute significantly to the origins of the disparities that exist," Trasande said.

Both he and Jacobs said the findings add momentum for the call to revamp the Toxic Substances Control Act, or TSCA, the law regulating the more than 80,000 chemicals on its database. They released the report on the same day that a Senate panel is scheduled to discuss the government's strategy for managing the tens of thousands of chemicals in the marketplace with an eye toward overhauling TSCA.
TSCA does not require most chemicals to be tested for safety before they are approved for widespread use. Because of this, Trasande said, less than half of the 3,000 high-production volume chemicals on the marketplace have toxicity data, and less than one-fifth have toxicity testing data on the effects on developing organs.

"These results are alarming for their implications of health impacts on children," Trasande said.
Another challenge facing chemical regulators is understanding how the different chemicals interact together, which is particularly significant given the number of chemicals found in people.
"What we're finding are complex mixtures of chemicals that sometimes have similar toxicities," Jacobs said. "There's an increased recognition that mixtures are a problem. ... It's very difficult to evaluate, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. We should also try to decrease the toxicity of individual chemicals."

Another alarming article that reminding us - as a parent - the importance to be a wise consumer - not only to safeguard our own health but also our loved one, our vulnerable baby.

Some people asked me: where does all these chemicals coming from?

Other than those mentioned in the article, it can be from our daily life toiletries like toothpaste, facial wash, shampoo, body wash, body lotion and even cosmetic product like lipstick. All these chemicals will absorb into our body through our skin ya.

So it is important to take note of the carcinogenic agents like SLS, Triclosan in our daily toiletries. 

Recently I have shared the Nutritional Immunology to a pregnant mother who is suffering from severe rashes. She has rashes on her neck, arms and tummy. And it did not help after seeing specialist. She felt helpless as doctor prescribed her anti-biotic and steriod cream in the end, of course according to doctor they are safe for consumption during pregnancy.

But as a wise mother, what do you think?

I am glad I am able to help this mother with NI knowledge.

In fact, rashes is considered as allergy.


Allergy, do u know why allergy happens? It’s because our immune system is mal-function.

Allergy happens when our  immune system is hypersensitive. It will attack those non threatening agents.

So what we need is a balanced immune system. By giving our immune system correct nutrient through wholesome plant food, our immune system will know when to attack and when to stop, what to be attack and what not to be attacked and how to attack.

And also share the tips to be wise consumer with her:

1. product must be wholesome, non-GMO & organic
2. must be certified with AVA cert.
3. both manufacturer and distributor must be the same
4. if chemical product like cosmetic - must ensure the safety for example all raw material must have MSDS, free from SLS, triclosan,

The COLD never bother me anymore

THE COLD NEVER BOTHER ME ANYMORE!

This line from 'Let it go!' song is exactly matching with my nutritional immunology lifestyle now :).

As I consumed wholesome plant food product during pregnancy, JY hardly fall sick before she turned 2 1/2 years old. She started 2hrs playgroup session when she was 2. Clean record throughout the 2 semesters, deep in my heart I knew it's because of the health foundation I had given her since she was in my womb.

However, JY started to catch cold almost every month after i enrolled her into full air-conditioning childcare centre. I began to panicked when she catches cold so frequently as she hardly fall sick before that.

I tried to avoid western medicine as I know they are all suppressant and not only do they cause side effect, it actually also weaken the immune system thus caused kids fall sick more frequently.

Here I would like to describe abit further why we hate western medicine so much - there was one time PD prescribed antibiotics and guess what there's a 'POISON' sticker on the box, isn't it funny? Expect me to feed POISON to my darling? Of course, I am not saying western medicine is totally useless, we still need it during emergency time. There was one time, I surrendered and gave antibiotics to JY as she was on high fever for 3 days, but regretted as she had rashes right after the antibiotics.

So I go for TCM initially, but later I heard more and more news on heavy metal contamination on TCM herbs. Furthermore, we basically don't know what are the ingredients inside and the side effect of the herbs. So like western medicine, those herbs will burden our kid's liver or kidney as well.

So if no western medicine or TCM herbs then what?

Soon, I realized that only plant food is the one which is safe and has no side effect at all. This is align with  the science of Nutritional Immunology - advocate wholesome plant food to nourish our immune system.
http://www.nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.sg/2014/06/so-what-is-nutritional-immunology.html

Well, basically there's no medicine for cold or flu due to viruses, so ultimately we need our immune system to fight against. So actually there's no better way than to give our immune system adequate nutrient so that our immune system can carry out 3 tasks i.e. defense, cleanse and repair.

I fed Jiaying NOCO and ACT daily for consecutively 3 months - reason being our cell renewal takes 90-180days. And add on Orchestra whenever she has coughing. Since then till now - THE COLD NEVER BOTHER ME ANYMORE :)

She still have runny nose or coughing occasionally, but she will recover within few days.

At the same time, i also found out why she suddenly prompt to cold and flu after sending her to full day full air-conditioning childcare - according to KKH child specialist & PD which I brought JY to, most kids with cow's milk protein allergic are more prompt to respiratory system problems after they turn 3.

Feel free to contact me if you want to improve your kid's immune system effectively and reduce the cold and flu frequently ya.
