  • Help! Needle Prick Accident to my son!

    Hey B and Team,

    We were on a family emergency trip to Cairo few days ago and my son picked up a discarded needle from the floor in a restaurant and it pricked him. Help. The pediatricians say wait and keep taking blood tests to see. Is there anything to do to help boost immunity against blood borne infectious pathogens. I am so sad 🙁

    Hi @DrYasminkottait – gosh I can only imagine how scary it feels, but just know that the risks are quite low. Nevertheless, I agree in being prudent because you never know.

    If you’re unhappy with what the pediatricians are telling you, consider consulting with an infectious disease specialist. Their protocols might be different to what the pediatricians are recommending.

    In the meantime, you can always support his general immunity. Making sure he’s sleeping well, eating nourishing whole foods, getting daily sun exposure (vitamin D), grounding, and hydrating well. Avoiding sugar and stressful situations (this includes picking up on your stress as well – children are incredibly attentive!). In addition, you can consider additional short-term use of vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin A. Cod liver oil for example has plenty of vitamin A and some vitamin D, along with omega-3.

    Please keep us posted!

    Yes super scary and stressful. I couldn’t stop crying for 24 hours straight! Yes I did consult with a pediatrician who double majors in infectious diseases. Thank you so much for your recommendations will take them to heart and check the dosage. What about anything that helps with viral replication like Echinacea? I have a DHA supplement that I got off iherb will share its picture soon.

      @DrYasminkottait

      You can find more information about viral support in this protocol. And this protocol shares immune support for kids with brand recommendations.

      I like Cistus Incanus herb (brewed as a tea). During Covid, Dr. Klinghardt explained how this herb helps stop viral replication so it’s great for prevention and treatment of viruses.
