I have to admit, that all this trouble with alternative medications, enzyme therapy and probiotics can be taxing at times, but let me tell you the benefits after getting through (almost) cold and flu season this winter. Giya got sick in October - she threw up once, never ran a fever and had decreased appetite for about 2 days. That was it. Asher got sick twice where he ran a fever on and off for 1 to 2 days and had decreased appetite. That was it. The latest round actually hit us all after Christmas and the travelling where we got the sinus cold. We have seemed to fight it off faster than most people we know and only had the wake up at night with stuffy nose problem and some whining during the day. Honestly, it still wasn't fun because when they are really sick they cuddle, sleep alot and watch TV. Not this year, being almost or half sick keeps them going and just causes the whining.
We used extra enzymes and probiotics at night (we would give them a dose at bed and then again when we went to bed). They work better on an empty stomach if you are trying to clean out the intestines (where most sickness battles are fought) and boost the immune system. We did finally go to our homeopathic doctor to get a viral/sinus remedy to clear out the passages better because it is harder to squirt saline in their noses as they get older. That sure did help them sleep at night.
