Fast, Effective, Natural Croup Remedy (good for Other Illnesses Too!)

By Lindsayleighbentley @lindsayLbentley

There are a lot of croup remedies out there.  One of the most common is to put your child in a steamy bathroom with a hot shower running.  The problem I have with this is that if you aren’t using a water filter your child will be inhaling an enormous amount of chlorine vapors, which can cause waaaay more harm than good.

The first time Miles got the croup scared the crap out of me.  Poor fella got his respiratory system from his dad which is a bit weaker than Henry’s…Henry is a barfer, just like his mama.  So sweet of us to pass these things down to our kiddos huh?

Anyhoo, the first time Miles started with that awful, barking cough I did my best to stay calm.  There’s nothing much scarier than your child gasping for breath, and it took everything in me not to panic.

Fortunately, I quickly remembered a tip from my Aunt that she used to successfully knock out Pneumonia!  

It stopped the coughing attack immediately and healed his body in 2 days.

Colloidal Silver + Nebulizer = all-natural croup remedy

The Nebulizer I have is one I got from Henry’s pediatrician a few years ago, so it’s not available online, but THIS ONE on Amazon gets good reviews:

This is the exact Colloidal Silver that I use:

I did one large dropper full of Colloidal Silver through the Nebulizer three to four times/day and he was completely well in less than 48 hours.  Without harmful steroids!!!.

Hallelujah and Amen.

This has also been found to be effective in battling bronchitis, pneumonia, colds, flus, and even food poisoning.

I have heard murmurings of folks using silver through a nebulizer as an alternative to an asthma inhaler (steroids)…would love to find out more about that!

I also did Young Living Essential Oils: RC on his chest, Thieves on his feet and spine, and either one in his diffuser at night

The first time I tried this method was years ago when Hank got super sick and we couldn’t get him well.  It was before I knew better and we had tried antibiotics and steroids and nothing was working. After running a fever for 14 days and modern (western) medicine failing, I remembered the Colloidal Silver trick.  It finally healed his poor body.  That episode was a turning point for me.  I have never been so scared for a loved one, and knew that there had to be a better way than what we had always done.

Since that day I have been researching and using natural remedies exclusively.  We haven’t touched Benadryl, Sudafed, Tylenol Cold/Flu, Mucinex, Afrin, Claritin or Zyrtec in YEARS, and Hank used to use all of these on a regular basis.  Along with a healthier diet, we have incorporated only natural remedies and are so much healthier for it!  We get sick less, get well faster, and no longer fear an “outbreak” or “epidemic.”

The usage of silver has been documented as early as 400 B.C., which sits way better with me than antibiotics, whose irresponsible overuse has led to an huge increase in the incidence of antibiotic resistant MRSA.

Read here about how silver can actually increase the efficacy of antibiotics.

Because silver can not distinguish between “good” bacteria and “bad” bacteria or viruses, I don’t endorse using it on a daily basis as it may disrupt healthy gut flora if grossly overused.  

Remember, I’m not a doctor, just a woman on a journey, sharing my findings with you!

Here’s more information on using Colloidal Silver from Holistic Squid as well as an easy dosage guide.

I hope this is helpful!
