I want to start her on hydrogen peroxide inhalation using the aerochamber, which she is used to using already. We have 3% hydrogen peroxide 10 volume WITHOUT stabilizers (30 mg/mL Hydrogen Peroxide and purified water) that I obtained at Safeway (also available at Save-0n-Foods). Here are my questions: 1) Should I dilute before administering it to her and if so, how much? 2) Can I use the nasal spray bottle to spray into the aerochamber as I would the spray Flovent or is there something else I could use to get the H2O2 into the chamber? 3) Should she take the H2O2 at a different time than the Flovent and if so, what space of time? 4) Can she also take H2O2 drops in water or juice alongside the inhalation method? If yes, then how much? 5) What about using a humidifier? Which is best - warm or cool mist? Do you put the H2O2 in directly in the water or in the little medicine holder? I am hopeful that H2O2 can help my daughter after seeing such positive results for my husband's chronic deep cough which he has had for months that got worse after two back-to-back colds. After taking only one puff of H2O2 from a nasal spray bottle 3 times throughout the day and then once before going to bed, he was able to sleep through the night without any coughing and the cough has greatly reduced during the day as well! Thank you so much for this website. What a blessing! Looking forward to a reply and specific directions.

We have cut out all fruits as we think it may be sugar related, take no wheat or any other form of flour, we bathe her in water with neem, baking soda and turmeric, ensure that the surroundings are as cool as possible and always make sure she is wearing clothes made out of cotton. We also apply neem oil with a base of sesame seed oil and turmeric and this seems to be helping although we don't know what is causing the eczema to flare up. Both my wife and I take probiotics, magnesium, sacha inchi (for protein) and plenty of vitamin c from amla. We have the dehumidifier running round the clock as the property we are residing at has very high level of humidity. We also use detergent that has next to no chemicals and include baking soda as well when washing. Is there something we are missing as we are no closer to finding the root of the cause?

I am struggling from the time my son is born. He was born underweight (1.1 kg) to everyone's surprise because I had no issues during my pregnancy. Even the doctors (son was born in california, USA) didn't predict he will be underweight. From that time I am trying my best to take care of him. He was motherfed only 2 months and my milk stopped due to transistion from US to India. I started giving Neosure and Similac formulas for almost 2 years supplementing with dals, rice, soups, idlis and gerber products. He is now 4 yrs and weighs only 11. He is very, very thin and slender. He looks tiny and anyone who sees him will question me "he is so little, will he eat??... Why is he so tiny and weak?" I have answered soooo many ppl with only one answe r"He was born underweight". Immediately ppl tell.. "Oh! I have seen underweight babies. Now at the age of 3 or 4, they are normal and healthy".. Then I think "Then there is something wrong with my baby". I keep asking to myself.. Will he grow as a normal child? Will he be able to answer ppl's comments when they tease him directly? "oh.. U r so little" Oh God.. Even now I can't control my tears. I am giving proper meals. I spend at least 30 min to 40 min daily for a meal.. I will forcebly feed him whatever it takes.. Poor Boy!! He cries.. But I never leave him. If he misses one meal, then he will lose weight.. He doesn't like fatty items-cakes, ice creams, ghee biscuits. Can anyone help me? I really need something which will make my son gain some weight. His height is normal maybe 2 inches below a normal 4 yr old. But his physique is so poor. I and my husband are ready to do anything for my son. Please help and I will be really grateful to you guys. God Bless Everyone.

She doesn't appear to be in any pain, her tummy is just noticably bloated or full a lot of the time. I've been to my Chinese doctor who seems to think it's her spleen and a blockage in her stomach. My Chinese doctor is also sourcing a children's 'wellness' tonic for her as we speak. I've had a look online - they mention everything from gluten/lactose intolerance to too much fructose? She eats a lot of fruit - could this be adding to it? Her stools are quite soft. Has anyone come across this? Could she just be overeating or is it possibly an intolerance to something? She's had a winter of constant colds and sickness, so clearly her immune system is not functioning as well as it should be. Love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!!

I am a first time mom so maybe what I'm about to discuss is normal? I don't know. I do have some medical experience, and was actually in school to become a doctor before I had her. BUT it seems like doctors don't think any of her issues are worth looking into. So, I had Evelyn at 34 weeks gestation. She was in the nicu for 2 weeks. When she came home she choked ALL THE TIME. She would turn blue, it was terrible. My doctor didn't believe me so I went to a GI doctor and they did a barium test, and found she has acid reflux. Well she still suffers with it badly. She doesnt spit up near as much but she is constantly choking. When she was in the nicu they said she had a milk allergy so she was on soy. (I tried really hard to breast feed). The soy was even worse so we went to alimentum. Well she STILL had issues on that. So we tried a million different formulas. We switch over to similac organic and it seemed to help. But still has severe gas issues. She's on a thickened diet for the most part. For every ounce of formula we do a teaspoon of earths best rice cereal. She eats very little solids so her main intake is formula. But shes always constipated, always has gas, always has reflux, always sick, and now she has ear tubes because the constant infections. They didnt even help. She still screams and shoves her finger in her ears. I just have this feeling its the milk based formula. But soy was so bad it was INSTANT barf. I just dont know what to do anymore. She has never slept through the night. She wakes up crying and gets a total of maybe 8 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period. Please give me some advice.

I had to do something though for my daughter. She is 4 years old and was in incredible pain.

We kept putting desenex on her, then she started to apply it to her urethral opening... Which made me wonder if that was where the pain was or if she, but I still didn't know if maybe it was yeast or bladder and that was only this morning... So it took days to realize what was going on. By the fourth day, today, she was crying and squirming. I questioned her and found that it hurts when she pees... then I knew for sure. I came here because antibiotics are worse than the illness usually and I knew I could at least get some healing started if I needed to go to a dr.
