Conquer allergy with your courage

By the editorial

The figures of the new generation of Thai children who suffer from an allery are surprising. The number is higher than the previous generation which shown that our children today have less antibody than the children in the old days.

Due to the fact that Thai children today are falling into the circle of fastfoods, milk, snacks rich with oils,coloring agents, flavoring agents, synthetic agents and the polluted enviroment.

The two brothers, Peem and Poom, are falling into the circle as well. Peem is going to 12 years old and Poom is going to 10. Both children love to drink milk or you can call drinking like a water since they were young which around 6-10 bottles a day.

The result is that Peem grew up with a big and tall body. His weights were over standard and likely to be fat. At the same time, Poom turned out to thin and undersized. His heights had not increased as it should be. He always had a fever couple times a month and usually went to see a doctor. Finally, Dr. Banchob told Poom to stop drinking milk and turned to drink soymilk instead. And also having more brown rice, fresh vegetables and fruits. The outcome was effective. His allergy was lessened and his heights had increased nine centimeters within six months. His weights increased four kilograms as well which help their mother a bit reileved.

As for Peem who was quite healthy except his weights that were too much and cause his mother to warn him about his diets but did not strict on drinking milk. Sometimes he drank soymilk or bought milk or yoghurt at his school. But in the past few years, Peem was usually sick as a urticaria escpecially when he drank the yoghurt, rashes were all over his body. His mother gave him a chlorpheniramine and put a calamine lotion on him. The rashes were reduced and his urticaria always came on and off .

Finally, Peem were recently sick as a urticaria without rashes appearing on his body. But he was unable to breath and his mother took him to the hospital. Doctors had to give him an oxygen in order to help him to breath before admitting him as a patient for two days. After that the doctors allowed him to go home. But on the next day, Poom had to go back to the hospital with the same cause again and this time he had stayed for almost a week.

At this time his mother came to consult a doctor at Balavi Natural Health Center. The doctor's advices are to stop drinking milk decisively, including the junk foods, all deep fried foods which were sold in the market, such as, fried chickens, doughsticks and also breads, sausages, Chinese sausages, all kinds of processed foods and fish sauces by using soy sauces instend. The doctor also told to have only a simple natural food with clean, safe and without toxins and MSG.

At the time, it was the end of the second semester, the nervous mother afraid that her kid might not recover before the examination began. She started to prepare a lunch box for her son by choosing only brown rice, fresh meats without passing process, vegetables. She also repeated her son not to buy snacks, milk and all kinds of sodas. She gave her son to drink soy milk every meal. Peem told us that

"I saw my friends have snacks and I want to have too, but I am afraid that I will sick and go to the hospital again. So I have to be patient."

Moreover, the doctorwere also gave him a natural vitamin C 1,000 ml. for enforcing the antibody and vitamin B5 for curing his allergy which Peem knew it and he followed the instruction by taking these vitamins without his mother telling him to do.

The result shown that his allergy was completely disappear in time before the exam begun. His weights lost and getting in a good shape, his belly flatten which everybody can tell.

The mother told us the most important thing is

"When I went to receive a school report, I had already prepare myself that his grade would fall badly because he was absent before the test took place for many days. But it turned out that his exam's result was still at the 3rd place in the classroom and the percantage range at 85% which did not fall at all "

"Meaning that although my son did not drink milk, his intelligence is still be the same as it was. Morever, it is become better because he is healthy and there is no allergy symptom for curing for the rest of his life"

One thing that Poom and Peem's mother leave us for the parents who having the allergic children is do not let your children fight with the allergy alone. Everybody has to take care of each other, encourage, win the allergy together and you will not lose anymore.
