A question I get asked many times, many different
questions regarding antifungal product, in particular.
Can your product, Canxida Remove, be used by children?
That's really the video today.
Can this product be used by children?
It can, but it depends really on the child and on the dosage.
Let me explain that in a bit more detail.
A younger child will need a lot less a dosage because they've got a lot smaller body mass,
so don't give a whole tablet to a child that's say four or five years of age.
Go down to your chemist or druggist and get a tablet cutter, something that can cut the
tablet in three, four or even five or six pieces and start with a very small piece.
I probably wouldn't really go any younger than about three or four because you've got
choking hazards.
But what you can do with very young children is you can actually grind the tablet up into
powder, so crush it into a fine powder.
You can put it in some kind of a kitchen blender or wiz.
Blend it up into a powder.
I've got some patients who actually get a small piece of tablet, about a third of a
tablet, throw it in a smoothie, and blend that up for a young child.
That's one way, but the taste is no flash because there are a lot of bitter herbs in
this product.
With a smaller amount in even a powder, it can taint or make the product quite strong
if you're going to make up a drink.
You can, however, mix it in with some blueberries, some rice milk, maybe a little piece of kiwi
fruit in there, those are the sort of things that may change the flavor and texture if
you're going to put Canxida in there.
You probably wouldn't want to go much younger than about three years of age.
But if you're dealing with five, six or seven years of age, you can easily go half a tablet,
and sometimes half a tablet twice a day is no problem.
But you may want to cut the tablet again into another half because some children have problems
swallowing items.
They don't seem to have any problem swallowing toys or building blocks or things, but when
it comes to tablets, sometimes they do.
What I did with my children, I used to have swallowing competitions.
They would get a treat.
It could be some cherries or a sweet treat if which one of the three boys would swallow
the tablet first.
You'd be surprised how large an object a child can swallow.
Swallowing mishaps occur with children when they get the tablet into the wrong area and
they could get it down into the breathing pipe, into the lung area, so you have to be
very careful, particularly if they're fooling around or playing.
If a child's very serious and swallows a piece of tablet with food, you'll have no problem
at all.
Sometimes older children have problems swallowing, too.
And in that case, again, you can cut it into smaller sections.
I don't find that to be a real problem.
Children can have the product.
There's no reason why they can't.
You just need to look at the dosage.
The dosage is important.
A child is best, I felt, given a dose twice per day.
When they're at school, you often won't be able to get the lunchtime dose in.
But during the holidays, you might be able to get three doses in.
Three doses are optimal for Canxida Remove.
Two doses per day are quite good, too.
But try not to go really beyond two doses.
One dose is going to be effective, but not as effective as two are.
And three will be very effective.
Once you start having a seven or eight year old child, you can easily give a whole tablet
per day.
When they get around 11, 12, 13, you can give two tablets per day.
But it also depends on the size of the child.
Some children are quite big when they're young.
One of my patients recently was a 10-year-old boy that weighed 52 kgs, so it's 104 pounds
for a 10-year-old, so a child like that could obviously take one to two tablets per day,
even though they're 10.
Bigger body size.
You need to really think about it, but don't be afraid of giving Canxida Remove, the antifungal,
to a child because it works exceptionally well for children.
Thank you for tuning into my video.
