An advisory panel of scientists and doctors advised the FDA to recommend that over the counter cough and cold medicines should NOT be used for children under 6 years old?

It’s true. They determined that their is no scientific evidence of their effectiveness and that their effectiveness on children was “assumed” because of studies done on adults.

The FDA, the agency that was created to protect us- took this information from its advisory board and made a formal announcement.

They recommended that these medications not be given to children under 2 years old!

Not 6 years old, as the evidence showed, but 2 years old.  The ‘evidence’ for THIS recommendation was borne simply out of thin air and not science.

So, while their is ZERO evidence that cough and cold medicines work for children and there is ZERO safety data on them, doctors continue to recommend them to parents while claiming that everything that they do has a scientific basis to it.

Just another reason to make sure that you do your OWN research when it comes to the health of yourself and your children.

Hello and welcome,

I’m glad that you found me. This is the new home of The Immune Health Blog.

I’ve created this blog in order to teach you how to take charge of your own health and to overcome chronic health problems.

My name is Kerri Knox, RN. I am a Registered Nurse and Functional Medicine Practitioner. I have a private telephone practice where I help people to find the underlying cause of their chronic health problems so that they can get better and stay healthy.

While I don’t consider Functional Medicine an “alternative” therapy, it is outside of, yet easily incorporated into, conventional medicine.

I believe that it is the next evolution of conventional medicine in the care of the chronically ill.  Conventional medicine’s “give medicine to suppress symptoms or do surgery” model doesn’t work for the chronically ill- but Functional medicine does- and does it well.

It addresses the 4  most common causes of chronic health problems- none of which are addressed by conventional health care. Those 4 causes are:

Hidden Intestinal Infections

Nutritional Deficiencies

Overwhelming Toxicity

Food Allergies/Reaction

These problems are EASY to identify and to fix when you have the right tools- and are able to effect PERMANENT change in people who had no hope to ever get better in the conventional medical world.

and see how you can begin to regain your health.

If you need more intense help with your health, I take private clients by telephone appointment anywhere that you live in the US and I can be reached  here for questions, comments or appointments.

In good health,

Kerri Knox, RN
