The entirely shite thing about all of this illness is that I HAVE been under a naturopath and I AM taking an immunity tonic (thrice daily!) and multi-vits and fish oils and high doses of lactobacilus and such. And STILL I'm ill. The chinese herb thing might not be a bad idea though... Nettles - anything you want to send my way - feel free. I'm quite open to revolting garlicy concoctions et al.The Awakened Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283471463348525046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441623775027962723.post-42441767544222277472010-09-18T12:35:46.710+10:002010-09-18T12:35:46.710+10:00oh sweetheart.

So s...oh sweetheart. That is entirely crapsome : (<br /><br />So sorry to hear you're still suffering. It's hard to throw stuff off when you have a small baby and all the accompanying sleep dep as well as breast feeding. <br /><br />You're also probably quite depleted after birth. Can you see a naturopath? You might be able to get a tonic that can be safe to take whilst breastfeeding...often medicinal teas can be prescribed because they aren't as strong as fluid extracts. Maybe some vitamins to replenish your stocks - like zinc. Zinc is mega-important.<br /><br />ALso, if you can avoid sugar while you're sick - it has a very detrimental effect upon the immune system. Wish you were closer to me, I have been making all sorts of tonics and terrifying garlic infused elixirs I could foist upon you.<br /><br />er, you're probably glad you don't live near me then ; )<br /><br /><br />((hugs)) sending you lots of healing energy Kittles.<br />take care and give those beautiful children of yours a big hug from me.<br />xxAntoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279365115311331326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441623775027962723.post-18829170423815975872010-09-18T07:35:47.336+10:002010-09-18T07:35:47.336+10:00I can totally understand the frustration of being ...I can totally understand the frustration of being sick for so long.

You don't know me, I found your blog th...Hi, ..<br />You don't know me, I found your blog through a search for Jessica Macbeth. <br /><br />But I'm a nosy sort and was loving your posts about birthing, pregnancy and being in the circle of women.<br /><br />When I got to your latest post and read your request for assistance/info for restoring your health, I sighed. I'm an intuitive person myself...so I suppose you know how this goes :)<br /><br />I can empathize with your mental/emotional/physical space and status. I have 4 children of my own (older) and I had pneumonia and many illnesses along the way. So I'm coming from experience :)<br /><br />Do you have access to homeopathic remedies or chinese medicine in your area? There are two things going on. One is that you are depleted from pregnancy and birth and need herbs to restore your blood and qui (energy). This has ended up in your lungs which will affect your emotions and your mind. The kidneys (in chinese medicine) feed the lungs and the kidneys are weakened by pregnancy/birth.<br /><br />So, good nutritive herbs, either western or eastern would help you bunches. Here is an example of a search I did :<br />http://www.chineseherbsdirect.com/lung-health-c-66.html<br /><br />The other place I would hunt is site called www.abchomeopathy.com You can run through your symptoms (its a bit of process) and find a remedy (s) and order them directly through them. These are very useful to use when nursing and good with kids. No risk of side effects.<br /><br />Of course contacting a naturopathic doc would help too :) they could do all the thinking for you if there is one around there.<br /><br />I wish you luck and much healing for you and your small kidlets.<br /><br />AluraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
