I have a feeling my kid's health issues scare some people. I also got a message from the president of the home school co-op and she said she's not sure the co-op is the right place for my kids but she is not telling me they can't come just that she's concerned about them getting sick. So apparently this has been talked about amongst the mothers. It kinda makes me feel left out and lonely. My kids love co-op and don't want to quit. They are lonely too. Their doctor said we can consider putting them on prophylactic medication to protect them during the school months.
Okay, so this teacher here had to look up the meaning of "prophylactic"! Definition follows (I copy/pasted):
Prophylactic medication is a mediciation (and there are many different times when this would happen and many different meds that would be given) is given not because you have a disease, but to try and prevent a disease from ever happening in the first place.
@ Jennifer, I'm not sure where you are on naturopathic and holistic medicines. It's the only thing I use and have used for almost a decade now. If you know anything about antibiotics, you know that they're a band aid at best, and at worst they further destory the God-given immune system of a human being, and can completely destroy the healthy gut flora, leaving all the bad fellows to swing into action big time and eventually wreck havoc throughout the entire body.
Being proactive is a must in today's toxic world, but at lease consider giving the human body something it can use and recognize--natural, God-created and engineered substances for which the body already has a built-in blueprint reading and will readily assimulate. If you're interested, there's a myriad of sources I can recommend so you can do your own research and choose what would be best for each child and/or your family. Google TRS spray, Dr. Josh Axe, Truth About Cancer, Barlow Herbal, just to name a few really pure and clean options with tons of info. FYI--not
all supplements are clean!! Consider anything over the counter (Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, grocery store, etc.) to be extremely toxic and/or dead from substandard processing techniques. Buying over the counter is pretty much the same as flushing hundreds of dollars down the commonde. Try to find a local health food store.
Hope you don't me sharing my 2 cents worth.
