Do we think there is a shortage of antibiotics in this country?? Of course not. And it's not surprising that your daughter relapsed after a course of one, especially if she had never had them before.
It's been the damaging affects of an overused product that has caused so much harm to our society as a whole in the last few decades. And as one of the most powerful 'advanced' nations - we are one of the sickest on the list.
It still amazes me that doctors don't right away - KNOWING that antibiotics kills ALL bacteria good and bad - that they should put the patient on a PRO biotic right away to rebuild the flora in the intestines and rebuild their immune system with the 'fighting' bacteria that keep us healthy.
Go to a Henrys or Trader Joes or any health food place you may have where you live, and get ACIDOPHILIUS. Check that it has a nice balance of different 'cilius's'.
First rebuild her immune system before you consider cutting out body parts. God didn't make a mistake when he gave us tonsils and adenoids. Considering they are only approx. an inch from the brain they are their to protect us. They were put their to 'keep' anything from getting past the throat area and causing more problems.
Oh they may initially solve 'the problem' of not getting sick regularly, but you are setting them up as adults. People don't think about the consequences of the future when we were meant to live and survive with all these body parts for a reason.
Germs don't hide. They set up shop in bodies who's immune systems are compromised for one reason or another. And with a compromised immune system this area will get hit first - regularly.
Find yourself a professional herbalist who can give you the right vitamins/minerals/ and herbs that your daughter could use at this point in her life. Kids need lots of calcium, lots of 'food' for the body to be able to build antibodies so that it can perform every day and do it's job.
But when we don't give our bodies - adults and children alike - the right foods (supplements. And that goes for what you eat as well) every day, then our lowered immune system lets in intruders that could otherwise be fought off normally.
Supplements are necessary because of the way our food supply is produced these days. Eating organic will help immensely. Even so, the amount of food you would have to eat daily to get ALL of the nutrients your body needs every day - amounts to about a truck load! Most people can barely get in their necessary servings much less the amount of food you would need to get all the nutrients. And you for sure won't get it if it's not all organic.
My own nightmare stories aside....I can tell you across the board that all the Moms around me over the last 7 yrs alone (much less what I've been doing for the last 27), ask me why my kids are the way they are, genetics aside....I tell them how they eat, first and foremost. They see a Chiropractor once a month to keep their spine in check, more often if they have bad falls. They've gotten adjusted at hours old. Why? Because a 'healthy' spine delivers all the necessary nutrients the body needs. When there is an 'interference' problems start. Some call them 'growing pains', some just write them off to what kids go through as they grow.
We also see an herbalist. Keeps what goes in the body in check....as well as MAINTAINING health.....a concept lost in this country because of the 'crisis care' mentality that we are taught.
My kids have never been vaccinated, have never had a drug, OTC or otherwise. My son was recently exposed by a good friend in his first grade class to chicken pox. Not only was he not 'outwardly' affected, but he was also not one of the many who couldn't come to school because of the exposure. I will be taking him in for tests to make sure he 'benefited' from the exposure by now having the antibodies. But he never suffered from the exposure. We travel to Europe, within the states, we've done cruises, while pregnant and after the fact. My kids have NO 'protection' as some would say. Yet they fair better then all the other kids who arrive at the same destinations. By many peoples accounts and their belief in the vaccination/shots 'protection' belief, my kids should be dead.
All the Moms who I've come to know as my son gets older and my daughter is pulling up through the ranks....all the Moms and their families have followed suit. 'Ailments' some of their kids had had since birth, gone. Asthma, gone. Rashes, gone. One Moms MASSIVE amounts of fibroids in her breast at 30 (she's now 33, her Mom died of breast cancer 5 yrs earlier), gone. The doctors couldn't believe it.
Those are the 'mild' cases. My herbalist makes no claims. He detoxes the body first and then supports the body and gives it what it needs. People who have had terminal cancer and rejected by their doctors as if 'there was nothing left to do' were healed, when the body was 'fed' correctly.
Just common sense.
But my point is, if we go BACK to 'normal' instead of allowing ourselves to be bombarded with the belief that if 'drugs' don't work then CUT out the parts....and we use of the earth what has been provided us, and eat as we should ...."Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.” Ezekiel 47:12. Then we'd be a much healthier nation. For every drug there is an equal and opposite natural opportunity.
Western medicine is the new kid on the block...NOT the natural, alternative cares (or what ever people want to label them as now a days). Some have been around for thousands of years.
Western medicine, although necessary to some extent, was NEVER supposed to be the prevalent 'caretakers' they claim today. They are still only a crisis care entity....they are not about health and maintenance.
But as long as Big Pharma has the politicians in their back pockets.....kids will be 'recommended' (not required like some think and are made to believe) to get vaccines until their 30...if they live that long or don't end up damaged.
Your daughter is young and has so much opportunity before her. Use your given motherly instincts - research...and then stick to what you believe will work for you.
God bless
