I myself give my 18-month daughter probiotics every day, fish oil in a form of salmon twice a week, lots of super foods like mango, bananas, avocados, oats, etc., a spoonful of wheatgerm, a spoonful of coconut oil daily, and I make tea and cook with herbs and spices which boost her immunity, too. Something else that can boost your child's immunity naturally is water therapy, have you heard of it? There are actually thousands of water therapies, but just a few of them are suitable for babies and small children like drinking water, Thalassotherapy (or dead see salts baths), etc. More on the topic here: http://www.greenkiddie.co.uk/Water.php Great post!

Especially when you are trying to raise kids with a healthy immune system. But there is another reason to pick up some fish oil suppliments. Thanks to Babylune for bringing this to our attention.

Every winter he gets the upper respiratory crud, coughing that seems to never go away. We use the Carlson brand of fish oils. They are one of the best on the market. Very clean and high quality. You need to make sure the fish oils are not rancid, which they can easily become. Carlson is a well know high quality, clean brand for fish oil. Probiotics, also, must look for a high quality source. Yougurt has some probiotic in it but generally a limited amount...as there are several strains of bacteria that are missing from most peoples gut. Also, there are so many probiotics that are just junk. The ONE Group has their own probiotic that is the world's only 100% certified organic probiotic. It is called InLiven. There are 12 strains of bacteria in it. It is plant borne bacteria NOT soil borne bacteria. You can purchase it off my website (www.elyorganics.com) under the heading of Mivitality. I believe Dr. Rubin of Garden of Life also has a very good probiotic. When you are looking for probiotics it pays to be educated about them because like I said there are many on the shelf that are just not worth paying for. The InLiven that is distributed by the ONE Group is in dry form, they are dormant and are not activated until it is put into liquid. I put mine in water but it can also be put into apple juice (but no citrus juice as that is too acidic and will kill the bacteria) That means that the colonies of bacteria are not declining in the container as it sits on the shelf in the store as opposed to a liquid probiotic that is already on the decline as soon as it is bottled and then sits on the shelf in the store. The InLiven actually builds more colonies when it gets into your gut as opposed to the colonies already dying off as they sit on the shelf in many other types of probiotics on the market. The InLiven is $54.95 which is comparable to other equivalent good probiotics on the market. If you take one teaspoon a day (recommended) the Inliven will last one month. But think of it this way, if it keeps you from having to go to the Dr. then you are actually saving a lot more than what you are spending. I have been using the InLiven for a year now, I NEVER get sick, Never, seriously. I take care of my kids and my husband who get the winter colds, etc but I never get sick.
