My friend grew up with many illnesses and allergies. Through personal research, he learned about + became convinced of macrobiotic + herbal therapies. e.g. he used to be severely asthmatic, then through drinking carrot juice everyday he had no more asthmatic symptoms! He left his job as a successful journalist, became a fulltime macrobiotic food supplier and is now one of the healthiest people i know. I don't subscribe to everything he believes in but certainly some other friends have been helped with this carrot juice drinking. oh! and also less diary products when having those throat/chesty problems (i know this is totally against western thinking which is MORE milk etc) but the oriental style medicine takes into account that in the humid, hot tropics, the "heatiness" of diary products behaves differently.... has different effeect on our bodies. That's why diary products for those in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, drier north of China? no problem. But in the humid southern parts of China, such thinking comes into play. OK my 2 cents for this weekend! Let me share some possible natural antidote for your son11 and anyone else with tendencies to chesty-type illnesses.
