Symptoms of Hepatitis A (Heads Up on Townsend Farms Berry Recall & Hepatitis A Outbreak)

Children with hepatitis A may have the following symptoms that are unique to children:

Cold symptoms
Cough
Sore throat

**Most children under age 6 who have the virus do not have symptoms and complications from exposure are more common with increasing age.

Some people do not have any noticeable symptoms. Often, however, people feel and look sick. Many need to be hospitalized.

Some people have changes in liver blood test results, and others do not.

Symptoms usually appear between two and four weeks after you have come in contact with the virus. However, the first symptoms may be seen anytime between 15 and 50 days.

If symptoms occur, they can be vague and mimic the flu. Most people with hepatitis A usually have:

Extreme tiredness
Loss of appetite
Muscle aches and pains
Nausea and vomiting
Low-grade fever

Several days later, symptoms of liver problems will occur. You may have:

Dark urine
Light-colored bowel movements
Yellow skin (jaundice). This is less common in children under age 6.
Yellowing of the white part of the eyes (scleral icterus)
Stomach pain
Itchy skin

Antioxidant Berry Recall - Protect Yourself By Cleansing Your Liver with Essential Oils

Heads Up: *KHP has not served this product to the kids but just in case anyone has bought this product for their homes.

The Honolulu Advertiser is reporting: Forty-nine people — three in Hawaii — who ate the product now have hepatitis A.

A fruit distributor in Oregon is voluntarily recalling a frozen blend of organic antioxidant berries (sold at Costco) after the Centers for Disease Control linked it to a multistage outbreak of hepatitis A, a virus that affects the liver.

Costco recommends that if you've eaten the product with the last 10 days to see your physician. If you have questions Costco recommends you contact Townsend Farms at 1800-875-5291 or email townsendfarms5148@stericycle.com

*Costco is recommending a Hep A vaccine so you may want to research that and evaluate how you feel about that form of action beforehand.

**A homeopathic solution using essential oils:

Zendocrine & On Guard oils applied twice a day to the bottoms of your / your childs feet

- EOmega Fish Oil in calsules for adults or teaspooms for children to detox whatever's in them now

- Drink as much lemon water as possible for the next 5 days. Certified Therapeutic Grade Lemon essential oil would be ideal & for children you can add honey and make Lemonade.

- Vaccines lower the body's immune system as a result the person will be exposed to all kinds of bacteria, viruses and disease.

-With vaccines we are trading a total immune system depression (our only defense against all known disease - including millions of pathogens) for a temporary immunity against one disease.

Happy Harvesting :)
