And I didn't mention in my post, but I was giving my son probiotics and we also have colloidal silver spray that he was spraying on his throat several times a day as well. We couldn't believe that all our natural remedies that usually worked - didn't, but were thankful that we could use some of the help from modern medicine to help him get better. His hearing has thankfully returned!!!

We treat illness the same way. ...Very wise words... We treat illness the same way. We do all we can naturally and then thank God there is more available in the medical field when necessary. I hadn't gone to the doctor in 10 years but a few years back I ended up with a bladder infection that turned into a kidney infection (and despite all the natural preventatives, it was getting worse and I was getting the shakes without a fever, very scary)... Hence, a trip to the doctor was in order. Sometimes pride can keep us from going when we feel so strong about natural healing but a prudent woman must know when to seeker higher medical attention. I pray your sons health will be restored soon! Thanks for sharing this wisdom on the Art of Home-Making Mondays! P.S. I am very impressed by your arsenal! Also, probiotics are really helpful to add to your medicine cabinet... and colloidal silver spray for sore throats has really helped us too.JEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300505126646960374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-77890137728895092562015-01-29T15:13:24.019-08:002015-01-29T15:13:24.019-08:00You sound like quite the apothecary! :-) I'm t...You sound like quite the apothecary! :-) I'm thankful that the Lord gives us the wisdom to take care of most of our medical needs and gives other individuals (like doctors, midwives, etc) the wisdom to take care of the ones we can't.<br /><br />~Raquel<br />www.atthenewlyweds.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092394864406749216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-52263746626589363712015-01-27T22:17:21.767-08:002015-01-27T22:17:21.767-08:00Yes, we certainly learned that this week!

Ryan is doing better today, except he still has residual hearing loss, which we are told could take several weeks for his hearing to return. Not fun for a 16-yo boy to have to be yelled at like a 90-yo man, lol! Hoping that your day is blessed, and all the flu/cold bugs stay far away from your home :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-16494700872770375922015-01-27T22:16:05.870-08:002015-01-27T22:16:05.870-08:00Thank you for your prayers!

It is so wonderful to make a new cyber friend :) I'm glad that the antibiotics worked for you as well, and that your ears healed. Thank you for your recommendation of the lemon and honey, I will put that on my home remedy go-to list! Thank you so much for your prayers, they are much appreciated!

You know this is so true. I am all ...Hello there! You know this is so true. I am all about trying and doing it the all natural way, but there are times you just have to see a doctor and there is nothing wrong with that. We got a similar bug like yours over the holidays and it just wouldn't leave. My son and I kept getting worse, until I finally gave in and took us both to the doctor. My ears hurt so bad that I couldn't here for days either. Thankfully I was put on a strong antibiotic and after a few days it slowly started to clear. <br /><br />I am amazed at all the stuff you make too. I do all that you have listed and they all seem to work really well. Another one you could also try is a cut up lemon with honey. Pour it in a jar, shake it up and store in the fridge. When the next sore throat and cough start, take a tablespoon of that. It really does help soothe both the cough and the sore throat. I love my elderberry syrup too! That is some amazing stuff and the young living essential oil gets used daily here.... We have so much in common via this virtual world....:-)<br /><br />Yes, I will be praying for your son and for quick restoration and healing!<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful week!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />AmyGod's Grace Overflowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373639150472128918noreply@blogger.com
