🚨 FLU is everywhere this week🚨

We’re seeing a significant amount of **influenza A** right now across all ages.

**Common symptoms we’re seeing:**
🤒 High fevers (often lasting up to 5 days)
😖 Sore throat
🤧 Cough
🤢 Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
😩 Body aches, headaches & extreme fatigue

💊 What about Tamiflu?

Antivirals like Tamiflu can have a role, but there are limitations:

• Most effective when started **within 24–48 hours** of symptom onset
• Studies show it shortens illness by **~1 day** in otherwise healthy individuals
• It does not consistently prevent complications but may absolutely be recommended for high risk people

Common side effects:
🤢 Nausea
🤮 Vomiting
😵 Headache

Reported neurologic side effects (less common):
🌀 Dizziness
😴 Confusion
😨 Agitation or anxiety
😳 Hallucinations or abnormal behavior

This is why Tamiflu is **not the right choice for everyone** — individualized decision-making matters.

🌿 Supportive, holistic & homeopathic options we often discuss:

✨ **Oscillococcinum (Oscillo)**
✨ **Boiron Influenzinum**
✨ **Boiron Aconitum napellus** (early symptoms, sudden onset)
✨ **Gelsemium** (flu with heavy fatigue & body aches)
✨ **Bryonia** (dry cough, worse with movement)
💧 Hydration & electrolytes
🌬️ Humidification + saline rinses or halotherapy
🍯 Honey for cough (over age 1)
🛌 Rest & nervous-system support
🌡️ Fever management for comfort

📍Bottom line:
Flu can be rough. Antivirals may help some people, while holistic and homeopathic options can support symptom relief and recovery for many. The flu vaccine is still an option to help prevent flu or severe symptoms.

🤢💩 Stomach bug making the rounds? Let’s support the gut—gently.

Most stomach viruses need time, rest, and hydration. These holistic supports can help ease nausea and diarrhea while your body clears the virus 👇

✨ For nausea
• Ginger tea, chews, or diluted ginger ale
• Peppermint tea or aroma
• Acupressure (P6 point on the inner wrist)
• Small, cold sips or ice chips

✨ For diarrhea
• Frequent small sips of fluids (every 5–10 min)
• Probiotics (LGG or *Saccharomyces boulardii*)
• Bland foods once ready (banana, rice, applesauce, toast)
• Chamomile tea for gut calming

✨ Extra gut support
• Bone broth for minerals + gut healing
• Rest + warmth (heating pad on low helps cramping)

🥤 Homemade Electrolyte Drink Recipes for those OVER 1 year of age

Option 1: Simple Water-Based Electrolyte
• 1 liter (4 cups) water
• ½ tsp salt
• 1–2 Tbsp honey
• Juice of ½ lemon

👉 Mix well. Take **small, frequent sips**.

Option 2: Coconut Water Electrolyte (gentler on the gut)
• 2 cups coconut water
• 2 cups water
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp honey
• Splash of lemon or lime

👉 Diluting coconut water helps prevent worsening diarrhea from excess sugar.

Option 3: Bone Broth Electrolyte
• 1–2 cups warm bone broth
• Optional: squeeze of lemon

👉 Great alternative when sweet drinks aren’t tolerated.

🚫 Skip early on: dairy, juice, soda, greasy foods
🚩 Call your provider for signs of dehydration, blood in stool, severe pain, or symptoms lasting several days

Aluminum & Kids — How the Body Handles It 🤍
We’re often asked about aluminum — in food, water, formula, and vaccines. It’s a fair question, and understanding how the body processes it matters.
When aluminum is ingested (food, water, formula):
• The digestive tract acts like a filter
• Over 99% passes through the gut and leaves in stool
• Only a tiny amount enters the bloodstream
• Any absorbed aluminum is filtered by the liver and cleared by the kidneys
When aluminum is injected (used as an adjuvant in some vaccines):
• It bypasses the gut and stays locally in the muscle at first
• Immune cells slowly pick it up over days to weeks
• Small amounts enter circulation gradually (not all at once)
• It binds to proteins, may briefly store in bone, and is cleared by the kidneys over time
What about amounts? (approximate):
• Breast milk: ~5–10 micrograms per day
• Infant formula: ~30–75 micrograms per day
• Vaccines: ~0.125–0.85 milligrams per dose, spaced out over months
(1 milligram = 1,000 micrograms)
So while injected aluminum is absorbed more efficiently than swallowed aluminum, the total amount is still small, spaced out, and well below known toxicity thresholds in healthy children.
Decades of research and large population studies have not shown increased risks of autism, neurodevelopmental conditions, or autoimmune disease linked to aluminum-containing vaccines.
Our philosophy is simple:
✔️ Clear, honest education
✔️ Respect for parental choice
✔️ No pressure, no judgment — ever

🔍 Did you know? Routine anemia screening is a BIG part of keeping your kiddo healthy!

At Trifecta Medical Group, we follow evidence-based guidelines to screen children for anemia at key intervals throughout early childhood. Why? Because low iron can affect energy, growth, sleep, AND development — and many kids have no symptoms at all.

🥛 **Dairy matters!**
Too much dairy can interfere with how well the body absorbs iron, making little ones more prone to deficiency. Balance is key!

🧪 **We also check for lead exposure.**
Lead can quietly impact iron levels and overall health, which is why screenings often go hand-in-hand.

Routine screening = early detection = healthier kiddos. 💪✨
Have questions about nutrition, iron, or your child’s next screening? We’re here to help!
