Eye Infections – Kids Bring Home More Than Homework From School
Is your child ready to go to school? You worry about coughs and colds
that they will bring home, but what about eye infections? Infections of
the eye can occur at any time of the year; not just when it’s time to
go back to school. However, so many of the infections of the eye are
contagious so being around more kids in school lends itself to more
irritations. Infections, irritations, and allergy issues are all common
in school age children. An eye infection in a school age child is
usually minor and can be treated with home remedies and without seeing
the eye doctor or ophthalmologist. I am not a physician, just a mom
that has seen these problems all throughout the school year. It is
rare, but if your child has a serious eye infection or it doesn’t seem
to be clearing after you have done some common sense things; they
should see the doctor immediately.
Allergies
Allergies are disorders of the immune system, which when a foreign
substance that is normally harmless in most people causes an extreme
reaction within the body. Contact can be with the skin, lungs,
oesophagus, mouth, stomach and intestine and can cause a reaction to
those organs plus the musculo-skeletal, genoto-urinary system, bowel,
cardio-vascular, nose, eyes and brain. The substances that cause these
reactions are called allergens and the person who suffers from this, is
said to be allergic to the substance.

Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) - The Heroic Antioxidant
by Tom Nuckels
Vitamin C or L-Ascorbic Acid is not manufactured by the body. It must be obtained through diet or supplementation. It is a water soluble vitamin found in the juices of fruits and vegetables and readily leaches into the cooking water of boiled foods. It is very sensitive to oxidation and is destroyed whenever foods are cut or torn which exposes the cells to air. Alkalies such as baking soda or antacids destroy ascorbic acid.
