This case is one of those winners of ignorance and blind adherence to mistaken notions that can kill. The notion that to prevent “lamig” or “hangin” – air bubbles into a child, she must be dosed in “Al Camphor” aka generically known as Camphor generic preparation in your local Mercury Drug store, 2 times a day on the chest of the child and at the back. And nooo…. the young mother insists her child must have that idiotic camphor… all the time every single day since birth.
Now that the child is 1 year old she developed continuous mucus. For 4 weeks now. Mucus so bad she would barf mucus at night. It is obvious something was killing this child.
Taking the child to the doctor just for nebulizers and antibiotics will be little comfort, little help because an ignorant mother such as this never suspects that it is her idiotic Camphor habit which is causing her own child to be sick.
The rule of thumb with illness is to SUSPECT EVERYTHING. Nothing is beyond suspicion. And you need to ask the expert opinion of people like me who are better than doctors, who can walk in and visit your own home and see immediately the mistakes of living.
The easiest mistake in handling children is what you put on a child’s skin. Never put on a child’s skin something that is not edible. Or phrase it differently: place only edible items on a child’s skin.
Very simple questions:
– Is powder edible?
– Is baby lotion edible?
– Is isopropyl alcohol edible?
– Is camphor edible?
Look for “camphor overdose” in your favorite search engine and read the standard tripe about it.
The solution to this child’s mucus problem is to stop all chemicals. Even check the laundry. Use soap, not detergent. Check the washing of eating utensils, use soap not detergent.
This is a perfect beautiful baby being severely mishandled by false notions. For pediatricians to be effective, they must make home visits to get 1 ounce of respect from me. There are too many mistakes of living out there… too many mistakes in the name of privacy. If you are sick, bring home a real healer and he will tell you what is wrong. Don’t be hurt, be thankful. Truth hurts, and truth will save children from dying.
