Hello everyone,

         I have enjoyed listening to your discussion of alternative therapies - really enjoyed the bit about the licorice,  and thought I would throw in my two cents.  I am grateful that my son has the steroids because they keep him alive, but unfortunately they are not without side effects as has already been mentioned.  I have  been very interested in natural treatments( NOT as a SUBSTITUTE for his regular meds, but to enhance his overall health) and just approaching health from a whole body perspective. From his infancy, I have tried to build up my son’s immune system with natural means as much as possible.  I researched the specific side effects of the Coref and Florinef which he takes and then did more research to see how I could counteract those side effects with natural means.  We are fortunate to have a health food store in our town with trained consultants who have degrees in nutrition, herbs, specifics of human body functions etc.  If anyone would like more information, I would be happy to share, but I don’t want to hog the whole board. 

                                                                    All the best,

                                                                    Joanna
