This is called the "sinucleanse" kids mister for the nose. For infants to 12 years old. I got mine at Walgreens, but drugstore.com is sure to have it. LOVE IT for spraying up the nose, fill with saline (it comes with that), or colloidal silver. This is the first answer for killing bacteria in the nose (with kids), that has been SO SO easy. Even Miley doesn't seem to mind.
Whee! Doesn't that sound like a fun title to this blog? When Mark and I have "heated words", bacteria comes into our house and then I have to get some kind of bacteria killing plan to make it leave.
First, let me clarify. We rarely get sick at our house, but if Mark and I have "words", I can mark it on the calendar and unless we get nice really quick, it will be less than 24 hours before we are hit with illness. Pretty much, I have been batting off illness with a stick for the last four weeks. The worste part was when I was waking up every 45 minutes to a different crying child. It was everything from cough, sore throats, runny nose, and some fever in the mix to eye infection and ear infections. Yuk. And after three weeks of it being passed from one to another, even the baby got it. Double yuk. I took two of them to the doctor and he just threw some antibiotics on them and tried to make them wear masks in the waiting room. (I told the secretary I would pay her 100$ cash if she could make them wear a mask).
Anyhoo. Gross and horrible. THAT's what I think of all of that. Mark and I finally made up and it's on the outs, but during the whole thing I came to a couple of conclusions. One, I don't want to spend one more dime on herbs or vitamins for illness. My VERY favorite herbal concoction is "scout out". Scout Out is an old Indian recipe of herbs that you just feel great after taking. It can be found at trilightherbs.com and boy, do I like that stuff. BUT, the great big bottle of it is $90 and we have gone through a couple of bottles a winter before. Anyway, I'm done spending money on homeopaths, herbs, sprays, snuffers, tinctures, and I'm not kidding! Once we hit 5 kids, everything seems amazingly expensive. Every decision. Every move, the fifth one has added weight to even the smallest decisions and I don't know how to explain it other than, she's tipped the scale. So, even in the herbal department, I'm done. But, I feel like I need to give them SOMETHING to kill germs while we are getting "through it" and believing for healing, and in praying this time, I got something good.
Now, I must preface my "good find' with one thing. Not every thing I do is good for everybody. If this is for you, GREAT, and if not, bag it. Alright, the find was this. Colloidal silver. I've gotten it before at the health store and pretty much thought it was a useless treatment that tasted like water. I used it in the kids' eyes to kill bacteria and it seemed to work o.k., but have never given it much thought until now. The doctor questioned how I got Megan's eyes to clear so fast and I mentioned colloidal silver (which he had never heard of), and when I mentioned it to my new assistant, Elizabeth, she said her Mother-in-law made the stuff and everyone in the family drank it when they started to feel badly and then "it" (the ikkys) would go away. Even food poisoning. Well, I'm ALL FOR anything you can brew at home. I'm making my own soap, for pete's sake, so the idea of brewing up a bacteria killing substance that the whole family could drink was absolutely up my alley. I had to stay home that night with 3 sick kids while Mark took the other two to church, so I was able to research silver generators for about three hours.
Needless to say, I'm the proud owner of a silver generator (www.silvergen.com $219), and am cooking up some silver right now. If anyone would like my herbs and homeopaths, feel free to email me as I won't be using them anymore. I'll probably write a part two on the subject, but I have seen great results in my health as well as everyone else's and have been using the stuff for about three days now. The top three "selling points" for me on the silver generator were these: silver water kills 650 strains of bacteria upon contact with no harmful side effects, once you have your generator, you just need distilled water and it will turn the distilled water into the "silver water" within a couple of hours of turning it on, and finally it has VERY LITTLE FLAVOR, which I am finding is pretty important with all of the little kids and trying to get them to take something. I drink a glass upon waking and give all the kids about an ounce before breakfast. THEN, if someone's coughing, they breathe it in the nebulizer, if someone's sneezing, they get the silver water in the sinucleanse, if they have crusty eyes, I dropper it into their eyes, ....you get the drift. Praise God. I have been so blessed. We have been in Branson 2 months and the dogs have gotten a few ticks and it will kill lyme's disease (safe for pets)....basically, a cure all that tastes like water.
Hope this helps someone, it sure helped me.
