Wendy: I have a strange reply that will help the child, if it is the pox.
The techies can answer whether the CS will help, and I will give you what will help the pox to come on out "faster" - ginger ale. Years ago, I worked with a lady that was about to get married and came down with the pox 2 weeks before her huge wedding. Naturally she freaked and was upset. Her grandmother told her to drink ginger ale like crazy and that it would make them pop on out and make it go away faster and it did. Then years later when my 2 children got the pox, I used it on them - sure enough, they got over it faster than their peers at school. Not sure how or why this works, but it did and their fevers were lower, too it seemed (my daughter's whole school got it - they said at the time, it was the worst strain they had seen in years...) My son got the chicken pox twice; a mild case as a baby and then again at about 8 years old. I used the ginger ale both times... p.s. I've never had it - I'm 51 yrs old and I've been exposed over and over; the docs say I must have a natural immunity to it... LOL - my mother would take me to my cousin's houses as a child ; have them breath on me; eat after them to try for me get me to get it so I wouldn't have it as an adult... LOL and she would get it every time (she also had the mumps 3 times !!) yikes.. .. Jeannine On 3/27/07, Wendy <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi there. I think my 2.5 yr old has chicken pox- tis the season. (My son had it at exactly the same age and time frame, although that time we did expose him on purpose). Anyhow it's been a few years since I've gone thru it and I'm just brushing back up on my supplement list etc. for helping to boost her immune system. C, zinc, A/beta .... Back then I didn't know about CS and we didn't utilize it with my son but now my dad makes it for us with a Silvergen ... I was reading some reports online on using it to spray the bumps and also internally. Anyone have any thoughts, tips, suggestions etc. either CS related, herbal or otherwise? I just gave her some rhus tox 30c for the itching and I sprayed her back with the CS which seemed to take the itch away. I'll know more in the morning what we are dealing with. The anthroposophical doc says it's flea bites, which is possible... but there is definitely fluid in these 'pimple/flea bite things'. They say it's tough to distinguish between pox and insect bites in the first 24-48 hours... but after that THEN you know. Thanks Wendy Canada
