Comment on The list of some safe drugs by Fiona Johnson

Hi, my husband & I are thinking of starting a family in the near future. I suffer from “chronic daily headache” & also alongside get extremely severe headaches that do not respond to migraine medication (often related to tight neck/back muscles but also triggered by excessive hot weather & other things). I usually take asprin or panadeine forte when these occur – neither of which I understand can be used when pregnant. I’m wondering if there is something else that could help during that time or whether I will have to just manage without as ordinary paracetamol has no effect whatsoever.
Would really appreciate your input.
Thanks, Fiona

Comment on Child Depression and Obesity: The Connection by Carole Gardner

Obesity and depression are the terms that must not related to everyone, especially children. Prevention is better than cure. Good health means staying health both physically and mentally. If health lacks, … no need to mention. After all Health is Wealth.

I don’t think you’re necessarily asking too much – but maybe you’re asking it for too long. A child that age wants to explore, touch, taste, feel – that is how he learns.

Maybe during story time at the library you could have a book just for him that has things to touch within it – many children’s books now have that type of textual interaction built in. If not, maybe a good old-fashioned pop-up book.

I truly don’t think ANY child around the age of two is ready for a structured public environment. BUT, that doesn’t mean he isn’t ready to *begin* learning. Teach, guide and expect improvement, not immediate success.

If he gets too restless during story time, take him outside to grab a leaf off of a tree and teach him something small about nature. The point of story time is to make them think, pique their curiosity and expand awareness. But, if they’re restless and you get into a battle of wills over a structured learning time, what good has that done? What has he learned?

You need to balance structured learning with fun and ‘hands on’ learning. And you need to realize he’s still a baby. I know you want to help him become everything he can possibly be – but at the same time, how long will he be 20 months old? The key is always balance. LET him be a child while he’s a child – and the whole time, gently guide him into appropriate behavior while always expecting (and wanting) him to be a normal, active toddler. Normal toddlers do not sit still for long, believe me. lol

He really reminds me of my youngest son – he was the same way – and he was a challenge, let me tell ya. He won’t learn to sit still and what is appropriate behavior overnight – it will take years. My ‘baby’ just turned 16 and I’m still taking lots of ‘time outs’ to sit and talk with him about various situations he’s gotten into, and getting him to ‘think things through’ from his own perspective and the perspectives of others. Parenting a LONG process, but is there anything else you’d rather do than be this baby’s mommy? Probably not

IF his lack of attention remains a problem when he begins school, THEN begin to look into some natural alternatives. Native Remedies has 2 awesome products called Brightspark and Focus Formula – these rock – they helped my boy and they’re guaranteed (ya get your money back if they don’t work).

Feel free to email me if you need to vent, want some advice or have a question. I’m not super mommy, but I have raised 6 and have encountered dang near everything in the last 25 years lol.

Many blessings,
Dee

As a parent of a very active 20 month little boy – how do I channel this energy that he has into good things? Am I expecting too much when I ask him to sit like the other children during storytime at the Library? Is he not ready for this structured public enviroment? I want to be a good parent – but I am constantly struggling with what to do with this boy to keep him out of trouble. He is easily distracted and rarely sits still for more than 10 minutes, unless he is watching the childrens programs on PBS. Then he will sit still for the entire 30 minute program. I feel like I am running into a brick wall on a daily basis.

There are some really great colon cleansers. This was a great read. Thanks! We should really push to teach this stuff to kids in health class or something.

Comment on Herbal remedy for sciatica and the nervous system by Wendy Bellowski

My husband suffers from sciatica and our doctors recommend surgery, but we don’t want to do it because of the risks. In addition to changing his nutritional habits and adding herbal and vitamin regimen (including St Johns Wart,ginger cofactor 10, we found the advice at http://www.spineuniverse.com to be very helpful.

Thanks for your great info!
