A mother is believed to have parasites and passed them on to her 11-month-old daughter. The mom has traditional symptoms, chronic digestive problems over the last four years, nose bleeding, liquid out of ears. Can a practitioner treat the mother and daughter through the mother who is still breast-feeding? Her doctor doesn’t want to give her any meds.

Yes you can, but it’s important to be cautious.  We would suggest starting the mom out with Aloe 22 (2-3 capsules, TID).  If the mom or baby gets diarrhea, reduce dosage.  If either are constipated increase dosage. If constipation is not a big problem, try adding  Colostroplex, 1-3 capsules per day. The herbs should be taken for three months.
