using oxygen in place of antibiotics for baby

[myjo]

Is it possible to use oxygen to help a baby? I have a baby who seems terribly immune compromised. He has suffered from constant respiratory or skin infections since 4 months of age (he's now 7 months). I read some information on how primary immunodeficiencies are treated conventionally, and it really scared me. I usually involves things like profilactic antibiotics, steriods, and even bone marrow transplant.

Is there a way I could create a natural healing protocol for a baby that would mimic the effects of the conventional therapies without inflicting the harm? I know he is very young, but there has to be something better than constant antibiotics.

Hi

We have used Oxy-Powder with young children in a clinical situation. Getting a correct dosage can be difficult. However, I would recommmend doing this only under the care of a healthcare professional.

Considerations:

1) Is the baby breast-fed or on formula? Breast-fed is definitely more healthy. Many babies are allergic to commercial formula...especially soy.
2) If breast-fed is the mother eating properly? (Wheat and dairy are common allergens for babies.)
3) Bowel health is important and a probiotic should be considered. Latero-Flora is great. You can get this on the GHC product page.
4) Is the baby exhibiting yeast symptoms?
5) Respiratory problems can come from air that is not clean. Consider air purification for the baby's room and your home.
6) Is the baby drinking a lot of juices? Try to eliminate all juice as it contains too much sugar and brings the immune system down.

Finally, antibiotics bring down the immune system and if the baby has been on constant rounds then there is most definitely a yeast problem going on. Concentrating on the above steps will help to eliminate this.

He is breastfed, and I have already cut out dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, chocolate, oranges, and I only eat sprouted wheat. I know I should stop the wheat completely, but it's difficult because I am having trouble keeping weight on. He is currently being treated for his allergies with NMT. According to his doctor, the treatments should eliminate the allergies. If not, I may have to either cut more things out of my diet, or put him on an elemental formula, which I'm really scared to do. But I know the constant allergic reactions are not good for him either.

He is currently on a probiotic his ND prescribed called prodophilus.

We cleaned all the dust out of his room and he sleeps with an air purifier. I do think he would benefit more from an ionic type purifier though.

He drinks no juice. Nothing but breastmilk. He's not even on solids yet because I'm so afraid of allergic reactions, and I have no way of knowing if he's having one because he's already so rashy. But we need to get him cleared up, because I know he needs solids.

I will ask his ND about the oxygen supplement.

Thank you for your reply!
