My lil' one (8 months) has contracted a couple of viruses lately. I currently have her and my other daughter on a probiotic, but am looking for other natural ways to boost both of their immune systems during this time of year. I know for me, echinacea has worked, but am not sure how young I can give this to them. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi K.,

Responding to your request a little late....just going thru 300+ emails, and felt the need to respond to yours. My husband and I LOVE isagenix products. While my husband does work the business a bit, he only started because of the major results he experienced with their products and figured he might as well try to at least pay for the products he (we) use. They have a couple of products I use with my kids. The first one is called Isamune, which is perfectly safe for kids. It is a vanilla flavor spray that you spray into the mouth twice daily. The other thing we use with our kids is their nutritional shake (which I have my own concoction I'd be happy to share - as it took awhile to figure out for my kids to gobble it up) but I fix it for them at least 3 times per week. I feel so good about them drinking the shakes because they are getting optimal nutrition. Besides the protein powder, one of the things I put in the shake is called isafruits. A serving (a scoop of powder) contains a ton of nutrition from 30 different fruits. Let me know if you would like more info. My husbands website is www.svarnell.isagenix.com. I recommend these product not to make a profit off of you, but because I think they are incredible. My husband and I have done their 9-day cleansing program, and he lost 22 pounds in 9 days, I lost 7 pounds and 13 1/2 inches! This is the only thing that would budge that last 10 pounds of pregnancy weight. Crazy, I know, but true. Let me know if you'd like to know more. If you want to order, let me know and I'll show you how to get the best deal. BTW, my boys are 1 and 3. Wishing you health and happiness!

My daughter will be 3 in March and has been taking a product call Immune 26 from Legacy for life. She has never had to be on any antibiotics and the only time she has gotten sick is when I have run out of the product and she hasn't been able to take it for several days. They chewable tablets in a chocolate flavor and they work great. I can get your more info on them if you are interested.

Hi K.,
Household and personal care products containing bleach, ammonia, formaldehyde(quaternium15) etc. break down children's immune systems.
I converted my home to safer natural cleaning and personal care
products(shampoo, laundry soap, etc) This has really helped. My children have been very well. I have a lot of research on the topic if you are interested. Also just check out the msds link at walmart.com and click on some of the products you are currently using. You will be amazed at how toxic they can be.
Let me know if you want more info. :)

Hi K.! Dr. Sears also recommends Juice Plus for children or adults that get sick often. It boosts your immune system with whole fruits and vegetables. The gummies are great for young children and you could start them around 18 months old. You can read more about it and why he recommends it on his website.

Check out www.askdrsears.com. He has a lot of ways to boost your immune system as well as dosing for echinecea. I use his site all the time for my 2 year old. I give my 2 year old 1/2 a tablet of that airborne and that does seem to help.
