They were members of a family with a long and close relationship with the hospital, as both employees and advocates.Still located on the grounds of CVH, the shelter now has the ability to house 30 adults. The number of beds increases during the winter months.

I wanted to let you know that my daughter’s Candida is getting under control per her alternative medicine doctor. She continues faithfully on the Fivelac.Dolores.Marti & Jim’s story with their sonHis most dramatic child Candida symptom was a skin rash that just would not go away.
We tried everything under the sun on it, from oatmeal baths to cortisone cream to natural salves and essential oils. About 10 days after our son began taking ThreeLac™ the skin rash just disappeared and has never returned.Some health-care practitioners even believe that child candida can affect children’s behavior: we saw a difference with our son once we got his childhood candida under control. He became much calmer and more relaxed – that meant less trouble in school.Candida Treatment for Children andinfant Thrush / baby ThrushOf all the people we help the littlest ones are most gratifying as they are the easiest to treat. This means it is very inexpensive to treat children. 1/2 packet per day of ThreeLac is usually plenty to accomplish the task.

Infants and babies need only about 1/8 to 1/4 packet a day. See below for the standard “Clark’s Rule” for dosages.Small children can take a bit more, 1/4 to 1/2 packet a day according to weight and it can be mixed with any food or taken “straight” on the tongue followed with water. Children like it as it tastes like a powdery lemony candy.We recommend that you check with the child’s physician before giving anything to a child under 5, just to make sure there are no reasons that child should not be taking that product. Many of our customers have used Threelac for young children and infants with successful results.Global Health Trax offers a 60 day, 100% money back guarantee.

Most physicians regard concern with candida as just another fad, soon to be forgotten. I wish they were right, but I don’t think they are.” – Bernard Rimland, Ph.D.See more on our in children page)GHT’s Suggested Serving Sizes for ChildrenThreeLac™: GHT says children ages 2 and up may take the same amount of ThreeLac™ that adults take. (We don’t think they need that much, however.) Many of our customers have used Threelac for young children or infants with great results.
Though we have a new product called Candizolv™ we don’t recommend it for small children. ThreeLac™ has been so effective for children and they can take such small doses that nothing else is needed.A child’s Threelac dose is figured by relative weight, what is called “Clark’s Rule” which is based on the “full dose” being for a 150-pound adult.
