Q: My child has the sniffles all the time. He doesn't get a lot of illnesses, but just a constant runny nose, any suggestions?
A: A runny nose may come from different sources, i.e. a low grade sinus/fungal infection, allergies, or even nutrient insufficiencies. A low grade iron insufficiency may be the only symptom of a runny nose in a child especially if the child is finicky eater. Try Immune Plus, Quercetin and/or Super Mini Multi.

Q: I have four-year-old twins who are very picky eaters and just want to eat a little bit every few hours. What can I do to help them?
A: Give the children a choice of two or three foods at a mealtime trying the same foods multiple times. It takes repeated exposure to foods to establish likes and dislikes. Establish the fact that mealtime is the only time that food is available, i.e. there will be no snacking right after dinner or even later. DHA, Coral Calcium, and Super Mini Multi are great nutritional resources that help to nourish their growing bodies but at the same time support healthy leptin hormone patterns.

Q: My daughter has had two broken bones from minor trauma in the last three years. She plays soccer and consumes a lot of soda pop, junk food, and no milk. This isn't good. Help!
A: Soda pop consumption displaces minerals out of your body leaving bones unhealthy and junk food does nothing for nourishing the body. Therefore it is imperative to provide nutritional supplementation for bones. If she can swallow capsules, use Daily Bone Xcel and Bone Helper to help restore bone health. If she cannot swallow capsules use the Coral Calcium.

Q: I have four children under the age of 10. Every month, there is some type of illness - colds, stomach flu, or other illnesses. What can be done to support the health of these children so they aren't sick all the time?
A: Start with the basics like making sure their hands are washed multiple times through the day and reducing the amount of sugar taken in as that depresses the immune system.
