Are your kids sick a lot. Do you feel like as soon as the family recovers from one virus you are on to the next? Mine were too. Let’s face it kids touch everything, lick things and each other, don’t wash their hands, share toys, and are exposed to germs consistently.
In return they get sick, then you get sick. Frequent illness is a vicious cycle of misery. The scary thing is that when we are sick, our immune systems are more susceptible to picking up another virus.
Not so long ago, this was my life. I kept telling myself, keep your head down and keep going. I had two children under the age of 5.
My Story
Then one summer, my son got sick and progressively his condition worsened. He had multiple viruses at the same time. Finally, he, my husband and me ended up in the hospital. We had a long two weeks as he and his immune system recovered slowly. His poor little body was worn out and needed help fighting these viruses. Luckily, we got tremendous care and my son recovered. We were fortunate to return home. I think daily of the many families who do not get this opportunity. Our story could have ended very differently. This is when I decided, to share my stories and share my solutions with as many families that were interested in listening.
Immune Related Issues
My son is healthy and has no underlying condition that we are aware of, however, as with all things a “normal” immune system falls on a bell curve. There are individuals in the normal range that fall towards the lower part of normal. These individuals are not immune compromised, but their immune system is not as strong as those at the higher part of normal. There is no medical way to determine where an individual sits on the immune system bell curve, but we suspect due to the way his body responded to illness that my son sits on the lower end of the scale. This makes sense to us based on my family history. My mother has struggled with immune related issues as well as my sister and myself. I used to joke that I couldn’t be around people that were sick because I would get whatever they had and be on my death bed. No, I was not really dying, but my friends would be sick for 4 or 5 days and I would be sick with the same virus for 10 to 14 days.
I knew from previous experience that my body took longer to recover from illness than others. Now, my son was facing these issues. I knew there had to be something I could do to change this for him.
Commit to Change
My research led to nutritional supplementation. With the right products and right nutrition my family gets sick a lot less and with much milder symptoms. I would love to connect and hear what you are looking for and what challenges you are facing.
I hope my story helps other families find solutions for the issues they are facing.
