Respiratory Virus Sickens Hundreds Of Kids

A respiratory virus is sending hundreds of children to Missouri hospitals and possibly throughout the Midwest, officials say.

The virus causes symptoms like a cold, except worse, and is prompting up to 30 children a day to seek care at one Kansas City hospital, where about 15% of the youngsters were placed in intensive care, officials said.

In a sign of a possible regional outbreak, Colorado, Illinois and Ohio are reporting cases with symptoms similar to the same virus and are awaiting testing results, according to officials and CNN affiliates in those states.

In Kansas City, about 450 children were recently treated at Children's Mercy Hospital, and at least 60 of them received intensive hospitalization, spokesman Jake Jacobson said.

immune systems must be bolstered. most of our citizens have low immune systems and are unable to fight off viruses and germs that can cause real problems.

get off of processed foods, sugar, white flour, sodas, and junk in general.

drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of good water each day. eat as many vegetables as you can (5 or more is good). 2 fresh fruits each day. eggs are protein dense and very healthy. some lean meat and cheese. raw nuts and seeds. almond, rice or soy milk. NO GMO foods. NO hormone added foods.

take a good multi-vitamin daily and exercise at least 15-30 mins. daily.

chew your food slowly and don't drink with your meals. drink 30 mins before and after.

get at least 8-9 hrs. of sleep. younger children need more.

these are good suggestions and habits and aren't hard. this will boost the immune system and make you able to fight disease...

one last suggestion because it really is important. keep a grateful heart, keep positive about life. have good thoughts and actions and yes; pray.
