Supplements for children

There was an interesting study done with mice many years ago. In this study, the scientists took these mice and split into multiple groups and tried to analyze the effects of diet and vitamin has on the general health of these mice.
In the first group, they gave a terrible diet to the mice. Obviously, these mice did poorly. Many were diseased and many died prematurely. To the second group, the scientist gave a terrible diet plus some vitamins. This second group of mice did much better than the first group. They lived longer and were less diseased. Now to the third group, they gave a normal healthy diet of seeds and grains along with vitamins, and these mice did very well. They were healthy and lived much longer than the two previous groups. Obviously, this indicates that Vitamins help with general health. However, the really interesting part of this study was that the scientist took the fourth group of mice and only gave a healthy diet alone without the vitamins. To their surprise, this fourth group did the best in terms of their general health and longevity of life.
Therefore, as a general rule, taking supplements are not necessary. It is much better to eat healthy than to take the supplement. However, with children who have difficulty eating variety and are very picky, taking some supplements will be helpful. So if you need to take some supplements here are some recommendation...

MULTIVITAMINS FOR KIDS

For children who are very picky with most of their diet, particularly with fruits and vegetables, this can be helpful to supplement some essential vitamins and minerals. This should not be given for long periods of time. I would recommend 3 month of use, then stop for 1 month. You can repeat this process as needed. Meanwhile, we need to encourage our children to eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, beans, grains, and nuts.
Follow the instructions on the bottle for the dosage.

MINERALS FOR KIDS

For children who don’t eat much vegetables, this can be very helpful to supplement some essential minerals. This also should not be given for long periods of time. I would recommend 5 month of use, then stop for 1 month. You can repeat this process as needed. Meanwhile, we need to encourage our children to eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, beans, grains, and nuts.
For children 1-4 yrs of age, give 10ml once a dayFor children 5-11 yrs of age, give 20ml once a dayFor children above 12 yrs of age, give 30 ml daily.

EVENING PRIMROSE OIL FOR ECZEMA OR ATOPIC DERMATITIS

Before discovering this miraculous supplement, I had to medicate all children with severe Eczema. However, with this supplement, almost 90% of my patients are off the medications when taking this supplement. An alternative to this supplement is to consume three hand full of nuts daily to improve dry skin
From newborn to 11 yrs of age, take 5000mg daily.For above 12 yrs of age, take 8000mg daily

5HTP FOR DEPRESSION, OCD, TIC DISORDER, & ADHD

There is a very important neurotransmitter that is essential for the feeling of wellness and happiness. This protein is called SEROTONIN. Its nick name is “happy hormone.” When there is defiency of Serotonin in the brain, it can lead to tic movement, obsessive compulsive behaviors, mood swings or depression, and ultimately full on psychosis. What is interesting is that 10% of Serotonin is made in our brain and 90% of it is made in our gut by good bacteria that immigrate from organic dirt when we eat the raw vegetables. Two most effective vegetables to increase Serotonin are raw Cauliflower and Broccoli. If the child refuses to eat raw vegetables or there is urgent need for rapid improvement, then this supplement can be very helpful.
From 1 to 5 yrs of age, take 1-2 tabs daily.For above 6 yrs of age, take 3-4 tabs daily
Can be crushed and mixed into other food if the child can’t swallow pills.
