CHILDREN DISEASES – CHEMICAL MEDICINE
Chemical medicines are most harmful. Granted, it may seem convenient just to dissolve a few tablets in a glass of water, drink the solution, and see the fever obediently oblige and subside. The illness seems to fade away so harmlessly without ever reaching its climax. However, it is usually disregarded that the toxins will not have been eliminated from the body and are therefore still able to wreak damage somewhere, for example by provoking carditis, rheumatic fever, etc.
without doing anything about it,’ an overzealous nurse may object. Of course not. There is, however, a great difference between suppressing a fever and doing everything possible to encourage this internal fire. Let us always support the ‘fire’ and see to it that all the ‘flues’ are open so that it does not merely smoulder in the stove, the body, but that it really burns at full blast. All burnable wastes will then be eliminated faster, and the system will be cleansed and soon return to normal. Feverish children respond very well to the simple remedy Ferrum phosphoricum 12x; the tried and proven Aconitwn 4x also helps to eliminate the toxins through the skin. If you do not yet know what course an infectious disease will take, try alternating Aconitwn 4x and Belladonna 4x.

DANGEROUS INFLUENCES DURING PREGNANCY
Nothing gives greater happiness to a woman than giving birth to a healthy baby. No young person can fully understand the meaning of parental bliss until parenthood is realised. But how great is the distress when a sickly child is born, or worse, a deformed child, perhaps with twisted limbs, hands or feet missing, or any other of those terrible deformities which, unfortunately, can occur. How terrible must be a mother’s feeling of guilt when she has to admit to herself that she might bear some or all of the blame for this calamity. Scientific research has shown that the first four to eight weeks, even the first three months of pregnancy, are the most crucial as far as harmful influences on the developing life in the womb are concerned. Some suggestions are given below on what a mother-to-be can do to best prevent abnormalities in the developing baby.
