Hi Everyone,

3 questions:

I have a 3.5yo female patient with a head cold- goopy eye,and sinus congestion. 
Her ears look a bit red though she's not complaining of any pain.  The strange
thing though, is that she had some bright white granular powder (looked like
small bits of styrofoam) in both left and right ear canals.  Not a ton of ear
wax, but there was a bit of ear wax on the left looked red (like ketchup).  Her
mom couldn't think of anything that might have gotten in her ears, and she
hasn't been seem putting things in her ears either.  Sheh as a history of
occasional, mild ear infections.

Any thoughts on the white granules?  Is reddish wax just old wax?


Finally, can anyone recommend a good photo reference website for
ears/infections?

Thanks!

can't say what the whitish stuff is but here is a great article on
ear infections
red ears or ear drums do NOT mean infection

long but excellent

I have seen dry ear wax look like white debris in the ear especially in younger
children.
If you see white cauliflower lesions protruding from the eardrum or in the ear
canal, you should rule out cholesteatoma (although uncommon, it is one of the
complications associated with recurrent ear infections).

Cholesteatoma is a destructive and expanding keratinizing squamous epithelium in
the middle ear and/or mastoid process.

This is a good picture of one.

Holistic Baby Guide

 

Randall Neustaedter OMD

 

My new book, The Holistic Baby Guide: Alternative Care for Common Health Problems, has just been released by New Harbinger Publications. It describes the holistic treatment of allergic conditions (eczema, asthma), weakened immune function, and digestive problems (colic, reflux) of babies and toddlers.

 

This is the material that I have been teaching to doctors in our pediatric training seminars, now made accessible to parents.

 

You can order the book now at Amazon or other online stores or through your local bookstore. And don’t forget to write your own review on Amazon.

 

Here is the book’s back cover copy.

 

You can heal your baby’s symptoms with a holistic treatment plan that includes natural medicines, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle changes, instead of turning to potentially harmful chemical products and medications. This comprehensive handbook is filled with safe and effective holistic treatments for colds, digestive problems, allergies, asthma, and other health issues babies and toddlers commonly experience in their first years of life.

 

An invaluable reference that belongs on every parent’s bookshelf, The Holistic Baby Guide offers simple and natural remedies for treating the symptoms of common ailments. It also provides a fully integrated plan for building your baby’s immune system to prevent chronic medical problems and ensure your baby’s good health.

This guide offers holistic solutions for:

 

Relieving colic, reflux, and other worrisome digestive problems

Healing eczema, cradle cap, and diaper rash

Treating acute illnesses such as fevers, colds, and ear infections

Resolving allergies and asthma

Strengthening your baby’s immune system

 

Tell your friends and colleagues about the book and please write a review.

 

 

 

Ryoko Takayama http://www.familywellnessacupuncture.com  is a great resource in Orange County.  Here's a little of her bio, and I believe she specialized in Pediatrics in Japan, and she is a Holistic Pediatric Association member/practitioner.

Ryoko Takayama (Ree-Yo-Ko) is a highly educated and trained acupuncturist. She began her education
at the Meji University of Oriental Medicine in Kyoto Japan; the first college in Japan to offer a bachelor's
degree in the field of Acupuncture. She received her Japan Acupuncture License in 1995 and her
Bachelor of Arts in Acupuncture and Moxibustion in 1996. Ryoko worked as an acupuncturist in several
hospitals in Japan over the next 5 years; seeing as many as 30 patients a day.

In 2001, Ryoko emigrated to the United States to practice Acupuncture. She entered Acupuncture and
Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley to begin her American Acupuncture studies and accreditation.
While in school here, she was employed by AIMC Berkeley in varying capacities until receiving her
Master of Science of Oriental Medicine (MSOM) and acquiring her California Acupuncture license in
2005. After receiving her Acupuncture license in 2005, Ryoko continued to work with AIMC Berkeley and
quickly became the clinic manager there.

Has anyone used N-acetylcysteine with kids, specifically for anxiety/OCD issues?
What type of results have you found and what is the standard dosage range? I
remember it being mentioned in a lecture at the IFM symposium but can't seem to
find the info in my notes.

I just saw a 14 month old girl who was diagnosed with bilateral bladder reflux
after developing a kidney infection at the age of 8 months. She is being treated
prophylactically with novo trimel 2.5 ml/day to prevent further infections. Mom
has been told there is a 50 - 60% chance of her outgrowing the reflux. She has
eczema and cradle cap (not sure when that started) and uses a moisturizing
non-medicated cream daily for that. She broke out in hives last month after
eating peanut butter for the first time and saw an allergist who did the sratch
test. She is only allergic (on the milder side) to peanuts, but is now avoiding
all tree nuts.
She has been fully vaccinated, was breast fed until 8 months and then put on
Nestle Good Start wtih omega 3 & 6, eats all foods and drinks milk daily.
Vaginal non-medicated birth.
I have recommended an infant or children's probiotic daily while she is on the
antibiotics and gave her fermented cod liver oil to take daily. The mom was
hesitant to take her off all dairy until she plans to wean her from her bottle
at 18 months but was agreeable to trying her on goat's milk products for a month
to see if the eczema improves with that. I have instructed the mother in how to
massage the kidney, stomach and lung channels for support. I have also
recommended avoiding all refined flours and sugars, and using sprouted grains
whenever possible.
her shen is very good, there are no dark circles under her eyes or veins
anywhere on her face. She is not a picky eater and loves to be touched. Bowels
are twice a day and well-formed. Sleep is good. She is generally very happy and
engaged.
My question is about the reflux which I think was the original cause of most of
the issues. Is there anything that can be done herbally to help with that? Would
it be worthwhile to give her a formula for the eczema or is it reasonable to
first wait to see if changing and then stopping dairy helps? I am trying not to
overload the mom.
