We're vegetarian, so I try to avoid fish oils.

I've heard a few people swearing by Apple Cider Vinegar... I really should try that. Of course, that wouldn't work so well with the kids (yukk!) but I should try it for me.

I give them First Defense, which is colloidial silver, olive leaf, and other herbs... it's just friggin' expensive! $15 a bottle, and if I'm giving it to them 3X a day (which would be optimal) then it's a bottle a week! Egads!

I've seen the powdered whole-foods things at Whole Foods... you know, the stuff you mix with milk or juice or whatever... but that stuff is expensive too! And I hate to spend all that money and then find my kids won't drink it.

On the health-topic... do you have good healthcare professionals backing you up? We have a nice pediatrician who is respectful of my non-vaccinating, non-meds decisions... but she's still very Western medicine, so she has nothing to offer in this dept. And we turn to Dr. Randy Martin, who is a classical homeopath/nutritionist/herbalist, but he doesn't see sick kids--he works on getting immune systems built up. But we just don't see him enough, and he doesn't diagnose--he just treats. I wish I could go to one doctor/nurse/whatever for all of our needs... someone with a stethoscope who can tell me if the cough is in their lungs, but will give me herbs/homeopathy/nutrition advice before giving them antibiotics and drugs.

I know Dr. Jay Gordon is awesome--but he's $250 a visit! Not an option for us.
