SCHOOLS ARE GERM FACTORIES…ANYTHING TO BOOST CHILD’S IMMUNITY?

Q I am dreading sending my kid back to that germ factory called school. Every year he comes home after the first week of school with a bad cold. Is there anything I can give him to build up his immune system?

A. There are many products within the “natural” world that claim to boost the immune system. Over the years I have learned that some seem to work while others aren't worth the shelf space. The following are two products I have found that, when taken consistently seem to work well maintaining immune response:

1. ALACER EMERGEN-C KIDZ…Each tear open packet contains a whopping 250 mg of vitamin C, antioxidants, B vitamins, and electrolytes. It tastes great too.

2. BURIED TREASURE PREVENTION A.C.F. Immune Support…This is an adult, liquid herbal and nutrient formula. It can be watered down for child intake by mixing with water or juice.

If your child has a cold and you are trying to lessen the effects or shorten the duration the following two natural brands have a history of working well:

1. HYLAND’S 4KIDS COLD’N COUGH…Herbal and homeopathic based liquid child’s formula. It offers safe and effective symptom relief of sneezing, sore throat and congestion.

2. BURIED TREASURE CHILDREN’S A.C.F….This stands for Acute Cold and Flu and this liquid formula combines high quality herbs and nutrients to support a healthy immune system, creating a potent fast-acting formula for the cold and flu season. I am dreading sending my kid back to that germ factory called school. Every year he comes home after the first week of school with a bad cold. Is there anything I can give him to build up his immune system?


Please keep this in mind…sometimes a bad cold can be a good thing. I know they are not fun but for every cold your child gets, his immune system is bolstered or inoculated against that same infection for the rest of his life. This is the time of their lives when they are supposed to get these kinds of infections to keep them safer and healthier throughout adulthood.
