Janee Neibler, RN, BA, HD, DHMS says Mississauga Kids can benefit from using homeopathic remedies and preventative measures to combat the flue this season.

Families with young children are understandably worried about the dreaded flu affecting them. Consider using Homeopathic remedies to prevent or treat this condition once flu symptoms show themselves. This form of natural medicine has been treating such conditions for over 200 years with great success, no matter what the new strain is called.

Have you ever had a pharmacist tell you that children don't need  vitamins because they should be getting it from their food? But wait... what if your child doesn't eat much or prefers only one or two items that may not have much nutritional value? Or what if you believe that foods these days are not as nutritious as they once were?

We all know that one of the basic skills children are expected to learn in school is how to count.  In fact, as parents, we start teaching them this even before they hit the hallowed halls of Junior Kindergarten.

“Two cookies.  I said two.  That’s seven. Put five back. Stop eating them. Okay now you’ve licked them all, we’re saving them for later. No, still only two.  Oh, just go ahead.”

“How many kittens are there? No, sweetie, don’t grab them to count them. Stop! Put them down. See? I told you that would happen.  How many bandaids do we need?”
