My Child is Often Sick. What Should I Do?
Each child is unique, so treatment should be tailored to their needs. However, dietary changes, homeopathy, homotoxicology, vitamin supplementation, and emotional support can be essential tools.
Nutrition
"We are what we eat."
Hippocrates
Increasingly, our food and environment are filled with toxins that can cause inflammation. Many processed foods contain additives, preservatives, and sweeteners that can affect health. In Integrative Medicine, foods like sugar, pork, dairy, wheat, and processed foods are considered highly inflammatory. By changing your child’s diet, you can strengthen their immune system, making it more resilient to infections.
Homeopathy and Homotoxicology
Homotoxicology, or bioregulation medicine, blends homeopathy with conventional medicine. It uses low doses of antigens to help detoxify the body and reduce inflammation, which allows the immune system to work more effectively against infections. Homeopathy can also help even in emotional questions.
Vitamins
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that strengthens the immune system and increases iron absorption. It is particularly beneficial during the winter months. Pairing Vitamin C with Vitamin D, and supplementing with zinc or omega-3 (free of heavy metals), can further boost immunity.
Emotions and Disease
Emotions can directly impact physical health. Children, in particular, may somatize unexpressed emotions, leading to illness. Providing them with tools to manage emotional imbalances helps them grow stronger, more resilient, and healthier.
Individualized Treatment
Treatment must always consider your child’s specific needs, including their history of infections, medication use, diet, toxin exposure, family dynamics, and how they respond to different situations.
