Children's health

Every parent wants their child to be healthy and develop well. We want our children to be healthy not only while living with us, but also to provide them with the best possible health from an early age so they can avoid or minimize chronic disease as adults. In the article, we will describe some basic practices that are useful for children of all ages.

Immune system and deficiencies

When we think about children's health, we have to consider two things. First, it is important to build a healthy immune system in your child so that it is ready to respond adequately when your child is exposed to infections or toxins. Second, start working to correct deficiencies in your child's nutritional diet. The health problems we have as adults are partly due to deficiencies we had in childhood, so it is important to work on them from an early age to prevent chronic diseases that may occur in the future.

Common health problems in children

Why is it important to work on building a healthy immune system and eliminating deficiencies? There are so many common health problems in children that make life difficult for both the child and the parents. Not only is it stressful for families to go through illnesses, but it's also frustrating to be in the doctor's office every week for avoidable symptoms and illnesses. Many children experience ear infections, which are caused by streptococcal bacteria , as well as some viruses. Children get colds, flu and fevers all year round and can get bronchitis, pneumonia or sinus infections. It is also common for children to experience mysterious swelling of the tonsils and fever, which are very early signs of mononucleosis . Doctors try to avoid diagnosing mononucleosis in younger children because of their medical school training, which prohibits them from doing so. If the truth becomes known that children can contract Epstein-Barr virus (EBV ) from an early age, there will be much greater awareness of the virus and it will have to become the focus of research and additional funding that requires millions of dollars. This is the reason why this topic remains taboo. It's not the doctors fault. They have nothing to do with it. Even medical laboratories do not respond to early testing for EBV in children and infants for this very reason. This may sound contradictory, but it is the truth. You can read more about Epstein-Barr virus in our blog articles, as well as in Anthony William's books .

Another common disease is tonsillitis. Medical studies are still not aware of the real reason for the occurrence of tonsillitis. They are not aware that the real cause is a strain of EBV that enters the tonsils along with the EBV cofactor, the strep bacteria , and that this can be cured by working to lower the viral and bacterial load with the information that Anthony William shares in his books , radio shows and articles .

Other common health problems in children include problems that stem from slowed liver functions, such as eczema, psoriasis, constipation, food allergies, and sleep problems. It's possible to have delayed liver function even as a child because parents can pass toxins, viruses, bacteria, radiation, etc. to their children as early as conception and during pregnancy (and anytime in your youth or adulthood ) and they can affect the child's liver even before birth. These diseases caused by slowed liver functions are often misdiagnosed as autoimmune diseases, when in fact they can be cured by introducing certain foods to build up the child's immune system. You can learn more about the unknown cause of each of these conditions and how they affect the liver, and how your children can heal in the Liver Help book. There are also viral conditions that are often seen in children that require the immune system to be further strengthened to fight off these pathogens.

Although many of these health problems are misdiagnosed as autoimmune diseases, this is simply not the case. Your child's body is not attacking itself. Please don't fall into this confusing trap. Our bodies love us unconditionally and always work for us, not against us. You can be sure that your body and your child's body always supports you. It is also vital to know that these symptoms and conditions are not genetic. You and your child do not have defective genes. This is another flawed theory that makes people feel disappointed in their own bodies.

Basic methods for strengthening the immune system

Nutritional supplements

Remember that not all nutritional supplements are created equal. It is extremely important to buy really pure and high quality vitamins to ensure that they will actually support your child's immune system.

Liquid zinc sulfate is a dietary supplement that Anthony William recommends for people of all ages. For your child, make sure they get a few drops of zinc periodically throughout the year to protect and strengthen the immune system. As a society we are catastrophically deficient in zinc. This is one of the most important nutritional supplements to focus on because without zinc our health can deteriorate. At the root of many of the health problems that children face is a zinc deficiency that develops from an early age. To learn more about diseases resulting from zinc deficiency, read the article " Zinc: a mineral of primary importance for health " , and for practical advice on the different dosages of liquid zinc sulfate at different ages, you will find the article " Zinc Shock Therapy - healing practice for adults and children " . High-quality probiotics can also be included in your children's diet.

Elderberry syrup is an amazing nutritional supplement that you can include in the winter months as well as in the summer. Instead of cod liver oil, which is an outdated treatment method that isn't actually helpful for boosting the immune system, try Vegan Omega 3 (EPA and DHA) from plant-based algae. Spirulina and barley grass juice powder are useful for clearing heavy metals from our children's bodies. In the book "Healing Medium" Anthony William shares the fact that we come into this world with toxic heavy metals that have been handed down to us from many previous generations and with each succeeding generation they become stronger and more dangerous. Medical science and research are unaware that heavy metals cause or contribute to conditions such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety, insomnia, migraines, eczema, psoriasis, learning disabilities, and others. therefore, it is extremely important to know how to safely remove them. If you're breastfeeding and worried about taking steps to get rid of heavy metals, don't worry, because the metals won't end up in your breast milk if the method you've chosen is the specific combination of the five foods that Anthony William recommends. It's still safe to take some spirulina and barley grass juice powder while breastfeeding, along with the other three heavy metal detox foods we share in our Heavy Metal Detox Smoothies blog post. You can learn more about these nutritional supplements, how they balance the immune system, and the other conditions they are beneficial for in our blog posts , as well as in the Healer Medium series of books .

Foods to avoid

You can also strengthen your child's immune system by eliminating certain foods from their diet. When you hear complaints of abdominal pain or digestive issues, consider eliminating gluten and dairy. Yes, we've been told all our lives that cow's milk is essential for our children's health and that dairy products build strong bones. However, this is an absolute myth. Children do not need dairy products to have strong bones. In fact, it's the calcium and silica in plant foods that strengthen bones. If you're worried about cutting out dairy, know that we've been misinformed about this aspect of our health. Also consider eliminating eggs, corn, and soy. These are common allergens that are not good for children's immune systems.

Remember that you have choices when it comes to eliminating foods. If it seems overwhelming to eliminate all of these foods from your family's diet, consider eliminating one or two at a time and see how it affects your child's health and immunity.

Another important thing, if you are not breastfeeding and still want to give milk to your child, you can make your own supplemental milk at home, which is very healthy and full of vitamins and minerals that your child needs. Simply blend avocado, well-ripened banana and coconut water in a blender to prepare a delicious drink to replace or supplement breast milk.

Hydrated

If your child has a cold or flu, hydration is critical. As soon as you feel your child running a fever, stop solid foods and increase fluids. Give your sick child lots of water with fresh lemon juice, vegetable broths, fresh cucumber juice, coconut water , or even pure bottled fruit juice, such as 100% apple juice, which you can dilute with a little coconut water . Giving your child food when the fever has started will only raise their temperature and make it harder to fight it. It is extremely important to prevent high temperature with high-quality hydration.

A set of remedies

In addition to the regular nutritional supplements we've recommended above, it's helpful to have some herbs and supplements on hand to prepare for times of crisis. When you or your child feel something coming on, you can turn to this kit to find what you need. There's nothing worse than your child getting sick late on a Friday night or over the weekend and not having elderberry syrup on hand!

Another important supplement to have on hand is mulberry ear oil, which is very effective for ear infections. You can put a few drops of it in your child's ear to prevent ear infections and help treat the infection if it has already started. Consult your pediatrician for advice on how to use these herbal products best for your family.

Useful foods for deficiencies

When focusing on deficits in your children, it is very helpful to work to address them early so that your children are prepared for a better life in the years to come. Deficits will develop for decades if steps are not taken in early childhood, even if your child's health appears good and stable in his childhood years. Listed below are some foods that are very helpful to include in your child's diet. If your children are already older, there's nothing to worry about, you can just take these steps now to support them. Understandably, children are individuals with their own unique opinions and preferences, so if your child just doesn't want to eat certain foods at this age, maybe that will change in the future. For example, if your child doesn't want to eat avocado, try offering them another food from the list below. By keeping your house full of delicious fruits, leafy greens, and other fresh vegetables, you'll be able to see your child making her own decisions and reaching for the healthy foods she's interested in. Just keep your kitchen stocked with their favorite foods from this list and maybe soon their palates will begin to expand.

Bananas are one of the most preferred foods for children. They are full of amino acids, protein and even healthy fats. Bananas are full of potassium, which is crucial for brain health and development. They are a staple food that you should include in your child's diet. And don't be afraid of the sugar in fruit. Don't be afraid to encourage your children to eat as many bananas as they want, because this amazing fruit is very important for their health.

Berries are another staple food you should provide to children. They are full of phytochemicals, antioxidants and anthocyanins. Try to include in your menu wild blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and any other types of berries that your children are attracted to.

Apples and pears are a few more fruits that are important to include in your child's diet. Be sure to use sweet potatoes and winter squash to cook for him. Also try to include turnips, different varieties of potatoes, coconut and avocado. These are great foods to help your kids avoid deficiencies.

Celery and cucumbers are also important to include in the diet because they have mineral salts that build electrolytes. When electrolytes are strong, it strengthens the brain's neurotransmitters. This is important to consider when dealing with the problem that so many children have with staying focused.

Another fantastic food you can give kids is homemade popsicles. Brew lemon balm tea, mix it with homemade honey and freeze it in ice cream molds. You can also make mixed fruit ice creams, such as cantaloupe and watermelon ice creams. This is a great way to get your kids to eat more antioxidant- and vitamin-rich foods to prevent deficiencies.

Try making sweet potato soup for your little ones. Simply boil sweet potatoes and mix them with hot water, nutmeg and cinnamon. This results in a nutrient-packed, warming soup that will satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth.

You can even make gluten-free waffles and pancakes using millet and oat flour. You can also make banana ice cream by freezing ripe bananas and then pureeing them in a high-speed blender or food processor. It's a delicious snack or snack and a great alternative to dairy-based ice cream full of toxic sugar and heavy metals.

You may be wondering if you should avoid bottled juices. Bottled juices are great when you can find them organic, with no added flavors or sweeteners . These days, they are available in most grocery stores and are a convenient source of anthocyanins, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. Fresh juice is always the best choice, but bottled juices can also be a suitable alternative.
