Your child too can benefit natural perfect wellness & reduce frequent visits to doctors' offices. You may prevent future course of unnecessary and overly prescribed antibiotics. (/anti allegic medicines or use of steroids)
We have 2 stories to share of our two lovely daughters (age 7 & 10 yrs) and our experience with Dr. Lina Thakar.
Our younger daughter who is 7, was chronically sick with respiratory tract and stomach infections. As a result, she was a bit of a cranky kid. We felt like we were always in the doctor’s office getting antibiotics. Finally we learned that she had an IgA deficiency which meant that her body has a hard time fighting these types of infections. The doctors basically said that there is nothing we can do except to provide low level antibiotics taken daily. We tried it but she was still getting sick.
Last Christmas Eve, she became very sick and we spent the day in ER since she was vomiting through the night. This was the last straw. We decided we needed to do something different. I knew Lina Thakar as a friend. I remembered her talking to me about Ayurvedic medicine so decided to give her a call.
We went to see Lina at her office the following week. Lina spent an hour talking with our daughter and us about diet, stomach pain, daily habits, things she likes, etc. She made us feel very comfortable and also gave her a physical check up.
Within a few days, she sent us a thorough report which identified her weaknesses and how to correct them through diet. We started our daughter on a diet plan as recommended by Lina and saw an immediate change in her personality. Our babysitter commented on how she seems happier. Two teachers from school called us to tell us they have noticed a huge change in our daughter’s personality. It’s like she was coming out of her shell and truly beginning to blossom. She seemed happier. Also, she has not been sick since we have followed the diet plan. I know this sounds odd, but none of the teachers or babysitter knew we were changing anything. They each independently noticed a behavior change in our daughter which we attribute to the diet changes. All I see is that now our daughter is healthier and happier.
Our older daughter was diagnosed with seasonal allergies (grass and tree pollen). She was taking Claritin, nasal sprays, steam etc. Last summer, it all became a bit unbearable and the medicines did not seem to help. I decided to give Lina a call since I have had some success in other therapies with her. We took my 10 year old to her and she gave her a head/face/ and body massage. Our daughter absolutely loved it. Her quote after the massage was “Mommy, I can breathe again”. The effect was long lasting and Lina also provided some oils to be used in the nasal passages. Now before she goes to bed, I give her a quick sinus/face massage with the oils and her allergies are much better controlled without all the medications. Thanks Lina.
