Please Help Me Help My Co-worker!

My co-worker has 2 children. The youngest is 7 and has always fought being sick and was finally diagnosed with asthma and allergies. Now when she gets a cold (runny nose) it turns into asthma attacks because it ends up draining into her chest & her lungs just aren't strong enough. Because it took so long to diagnose, she has taken a lot of antibiotics (may have some immunity to it) and is even allergic to certain ones?

Her mom wants to know if there is a homeopathic doctor in the Waterford/ Lakes Area who is good with kids that anyone can refer? Also, because of all the sickness in her early years, daughter is not too fond of doctors!

Thanks moms!

What can I do next?

Hi J.,

I am going to a really nice place called The Downing Clinic. It is in Clarkston on Sashabaw Rd. near Pine Knob. My friend that referred me took her kids there for allergy testing and treatment. I am going because of unexplained joint pain and I wanted to check into food allergies/sensitivities. They have a non-invasive test that looks for imbalances and problems. It is called Electrodermal Screening. If she wants to check it out, here is the web site - http://www.thedowningclinic.com/index.htm.

Good luck to your friend and her daughter.

I don't have a doctor to recommend, but I do have a question? Is her daughter on an allergy or asthma regimen? I had the same issue with my oldest when he was young. (sick all the time, expensive antiobiotics, etc.) Then a doctor asked if we had allergies in the family (yes!) and put him on daily allergy meds. That ended all the ear and sinus infections, pneumonia -- everything. No more antiobiotics! Same for my middle child (a son) who has asthma. He had his tonsils and adenoids out at two, tubes in his ears and went on Singulair. He's been a different kid ever since. Maybe there are some other questions your co-worker could ask or other routes of treatment she could pursue.
Good luck!

Dear Jody,
I have allergies myseld, but I found a way to get rid of them, by using an amazing mix of isotonix OPC3 and isotonix Vitamine C. You can't find those in stores,
but I can help you get them.
Please e-mail me back.
Thanks,
C. Seys

When I went to Milford Medical Supply to get crutches, I noticed a homeopath in the same building. Her name is Gretchen Snell. It's in a building near the restaurant called Bakers, and by the Dairy Queen that sits next to the entrance of Kensington Metropark.

Mine is in AnnArbor such a drive I know. But the office girls might know someone in your area. Dr Scheerer ###-###-####. And my mom goes to someone in novi or farmington hills I'll get his info for you too.

Personally I give my 5yo echinacea and vit c to boost her immune system. A homeopathic called pulsatilla 30x for wet cold symptoms. I remember seeing one at zerbos health food store in Livonia for asthma.
Castle Remedies in AnnArbor has homeopathic classes http://castleremedies.googlepages.com/

And if the daughter is so worried over doctors there's a bach flower remedy called Rescue Remedy that's great for stress, moms or kids being to wound up or emotional. I give it to my cat even before going to the vet.
Best of luck to you for your friend, A. H
