What you can do for support if your child is exposed to Mumps: Nutritionist Adelle Davis said she gave each of her children ten doses of 1,000 mg of vitamin C, the day they came down with mumps, and they were symptom free by the end of the second day. (5)
Other support included: Avoidance of all foods. Drink lots of pure water. The older mothers said salt kills the mumps virus on contact when it is swallowed, or hourly salt gargling is done. Daily bowel movements are also a must.
Supplements: Vitamin A, zinc gluconate, Elderberry extract.
Supportive herbs include: Liquid skullcap and cayenne pepper; a combination of goldenseal, skullcap, and passion flower for the parotid glands (affected by mumps) and the nervous system.
Homeopathic remedies that are supportive include:Mumps nosode at 30c, Pilocarpinum, Phytolacca, Mercurius Sol., Aconite, Rhus Tox, Arsenicum, Belladonna, and Pulsatilla
My children all got mumps at the beginning of a school year, when their friends were getting their Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) boosters. Although my children were home-schooled, they and many of their friends came down with mumps symptoms. This was fine with us, as we preferred they get it. We believe history proves mumps, supports strengthening of the immune system, as well as normal growth and development. In addition, we believe mumps can help the body build resistance to pancreas and reproductive problems in later life.
When our children got mumps, along with their vaccinated friends, we had them do the hourly salt gargling, eat as much salt as they could stand, and take the Mumps 30c nosode. They were symptom free in less than 48 hours. Their friends however, all of whom were vaccinated for it, had a much harder time with fevers, lots of pain, medications, and doctor visits. Their symptoms also lasted several days longer.
