Our 5 year old girl was down with a terrible, stubborn cold for 2 weeks. We admit, the air in the condominium is dirty with all the building constructions going on. If this doesn’t work, we will have to move out.
In the first few days of being sick my wife gave our daughter her anthroposophic therapy of mercurius vivus and cough elixir, then onto cayenne tincture. Our daughter dreaded cayenne tincture, too hot for her. She was able to go to school for a few days then got terribly sick again. She had to stay home the whole week last week and miss 1 whole week of classes. In that 1 week at home we put her on paleo diet with cooked meat and raw fruits. Stubborn mucus still there with chest pains when coughing.
Late last week my wife got some fresh oregano leaves. Maids squashed the oregano leaves to extract some juice for our daughter to drink.
I was reading Henry Bieler Friday night and his recommendation for colds. He said umpteen formulations for colds have been made but his solution is a temporary juice fast and bieler soup fast.
So Saturday I put our girl in a diluted orange juice fast plus coconut juice and coconut meat. Sunday same thing plus bieler’s soup, which she did not like then some raw fish at the end of the day. Monday put her on a raw paleo diet with raw tuna and raw sea urchin plus some fruit and coconuts. Tuesday more coconuts and raw blue marlin and in the evening some lightly seared beef sirloin. Today Wednesday coconuts, papaya, melon and some raw tuna in school. Yesterday I bought a 1 whole freshly caught 8 kilo tuna fish. Only the freshest for my daughter.
More raw paleo days for my daughter. Tuesday there was no more chest pain. Today no more mucus, she is breathing through her nose. She recovered faster than her 6 year old brother who still has mucus but not enough to bring him down.
I told her the indicator of being well and a go signal to eat cooked food again was her left ear eczema. On her the left ear eczema seems to be an indicator of blood acidity / purity. Plus the other night she cried when a pushy nannie put shampoo on her. I keep saying the mantra no shampoo, no soap. It harms the little one. Good she cried lots that night to tell everyone in the household that shampoo is merely chemicals harming her. She feels pain under her left ear with those shampoo chemicals, no matter how natural or organic the label says it is.
Ridiculous shampoo ads.
So when the chips are down, some juice fasting and raw paleo diet seems to be delivering the goods… yet again. We are having some logistics adjustments with her school lunch meals. We put the sashimi in a styrofoam container and pass by my office at Farmer’s market, buy 10 pesos worth of ice and shove it in the styro then go to school.
I must remember to buy more coconuts before I go home. Coconuts give better hydration than plain old water.
Lesson learned again. Raw paleo diet delivers consistently for me and the children.
