Tonsillitis
David, aged 6, had suffered from tonsillitis from when he was a baby. He had developed the associated ear problems and was loosing his hearing. Antibiotics had often been used for his condition.
David's treatment consisted of:
- a child's general multivitamin and mineral supplement with additional:
- vitamin C,
- calcium,
- magnesium and
- zinc.
- advice to David and his parents regarding the need for plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and the removal of dairy products from his diet.
- herbs to cleanse and support his liver and lymphatic system and to also act as anti-microbial agents:
- echinacea,
- poke root,
- golden seal,
- red sage and
- balm of Gilead.
- herbs - agrimony and raspberry used as a gargle.
- acidophilus to help restore the balance of bacteria in his body - following the many courses of antibiotics.
David's treatment was continued for over 6 months with no further bouts of tonsillitis. Across the summer he did have some worsening of his hearing following swimming lessons in a chlorinated pool. This was improved with the use of ear plugs and showering immediately following the swimming lessons. His family were making good progress with the adjustments to increase the fruit and vegetables in David's diet - which all the family were following. David had also significantly reduced his intake of dairy products.
