I just need a picture or two of your child with a sentence or two about their situation. You can put factual information, like, "sick for five years,"or you can put "the human side" like, "watching his soccer team from the sidelines." Whatever you are comfortable sharing about your child's  journey through Lyme.

2. Echinacea

It can be used to fight colds and flu.  Echinacea can destroy  virulent bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus which causes  MRSA.




3. Colloidal Silver

CS is a  germicidal and antibacterial. It also  supports the natural 
defence system of the body and is powerfully alkaline. Research shows that it works by acting as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme that single-celled bacteria, fungi and viruses require for the metabolism of oxygen.  This then suffocates the invading cell whilst doing no harm to any human enzymes, resulting in the removal of disease-causing organisms from the body.


4. Pau D'Arco

Pau d'Arco is an herb native to South America whose active ingredient lapachol, has been found to relieve a wide range of infections. It is an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral.  Studies suggest that Pau d'arco may also have cancer-fighting properties.

5. Manuka Honey

Manuka honey comes from Australia and New Zealand. When applied topically it can kill a wide variety of pathogens, including MRSA and flesh-eating bacteria. Not all Manuka Honey is active, you have to make sure you get an active type. Manuka Honey has been used by the Maori People for centuries for an upset stomach and as a salve on open wounds in the skin.



6. Cat's Claw

The major alkaloid rhynchophylline has anti-hypertensive effects, lowering blood pressure and increasing circulation. It is also an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and has anticancer properties.

May you not have sound sensitivity so you can enjoy the fireworks without wearing earplugs!

May you not have light senstivity, so you don't have to wear sunglasses!

May you find a good natural bug repellent so you don't get more bugbites!

May you feel good enough to leave your home and get to watch the fireworks outside among other humans!

May your dogs not crumble in fear!
