Fellow Nairalanders,

With great joy in my heart I give this brief account of how the internet helped restore my baby's health and prevented possible long-term complications. My lovely eight-month old baby suddenly began having seizures few days ago. It was so severe that it worried me and her mum so much that we though it was a spiritual attack. She would suddenly stiffen her neck and shake with great energy (seemingly unconscious), and then return to normal mode in less than a minute.

It happened like 3-5 times every 15minutes. Everytime it occurred, we felt like weeping as the ever lovely baby seemed to have been strangely hijacked. We rushed to the hospital and some blood tests were recommended. On seeing the results, the Doctors quickly knew it was a brain infection coupled with Malaria. Although some of them were worried that all other symptoms of Malaria and infection were absent in the baby - no high temperature, no yellow eyes, baby actively playing and sucking. The doctors immediately commenced treatment with strong antibiotics passed directly into her bloodstream + antimalarial drugs. Twice daily she was receiving the medications but on the third day, they got more worried that there was no improvement.

My wife was drastically losing her joy while everyone else was praying. On the evening of that third day, my wife picked her phone and began an extensive research on Google.com for possible causes of such condition. She stumbled on a research paper that presented the Negative Effects of Soybean in Babies. This paper caught her attention because two days before the seizures began, she introduced Soybean into our baby's food formula (on a Doctor's recommendation). The article stated that Soybean inhibits the production of Trypsin which is very essential for infants and also triggers irregular impulse in the brain neurotransmitters thereby causing frequent seizures which, after a long period, could render the child epileptic. The paper added that the inhibition of Trypsin could lower the immune system (which could make doctors believe it to be an infection).

We immediately stopped feeding the baby with the formula but we didn't notify anyone of the finding to allow a continued treatment. By the following day, the seizures started fading and in just two days, it went away completely. We are still in awe with this discovery while we are very glad that the baby is back to normal life, but I felt - this might help someone someday.

Internet has helped a lot of people.... Even in the political sector, campaigns are now online... In the education sector, learning is online...

I'm really happy for you! God bless you!

Internet neva sure until.we begin download food

Good news to h--ear

Aww! !
I'm touched

Thank God for your baby and the mum. May God keep them for you.

The internet has sort of made everybody some DIY person.

Cheers bruv.

Internet happens to be the best place to find cure to all ailments very effective than your doctor's quote me if I'm wrong, before you go to the doctor make your search to aide the doctor as well, some years back When my baby felt sick I took her to the doctor only for him to be prescribing some drugs but during that process I told him my findings and he was surprise cancel the first prescription and re-prescribe... learn from the op search before proceeding to the hospital for quick result

thank Godd

You are very lucky, but why didn't any of the doctors or nurses think of asking questions before commencing treatment. Why were they not aware of the negative effects of adding Soybean to infants food? Anyways, thank God He saved your family from being a victim of poor medical infrastructure in the country.

NICE

ok

- "It was so severe that it worried me and her mum so much that we though it was a spiritual attack". What nonsense is this?
- "Every time it occurred, we felt like weeping as the ever lovely baby seemed to have been strangely hijacked".What nonsense is this?

Anyway, next time consult a pediatrician....not a generalist medical practitioner.

Can you be kind to share the brand name of this soya formula?

Embrace science .....

Internet makes and mars

Wisdom is the ability to get information and use it profitably!

Good for you however it will be wise not to encourage this form of self medication through the internet humans are bound to go the extreme.

Dont just jump into conclusion. you might not be lucky next time

It is advisable to see a doctor atleast for monitoring purposes and professional advise

What could we ever do without Google?

On the day I convocated from the University, this was the Speech I gave:

"I won't fail to thank my family, my friends, relations and well wishers for their love and support as I went through this stage of my life. My heartfelt thank goes most especially to Google and Copy and Paste!!"

Same internet also pushed some
peepz to 6ft earlier...

Kudos to the internet

Best wishes to your baby @OP Your wife is smart!


And please... don't ever associate any symptom to "spiritual attacks" or "supernatural happenings"... It will lead you nowhere.


Mehn... who knew soybeans could be so dangerous to babies.

Halleluya somebody.

So happy for you

the internet has chwnged my life drastically too

Isit from working for people have never met or total strangers calling me and asking for blogging training. Or even foreigners asking me to help with their blogs and paying me good money without leaving my home


The internet is the best thing after Jesus Christ to happen to humanity.

...conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.

Congrats!

Thank God, the internet is indeed helpful, I had dried throat a while back and I just goggled treatment for dry throat, I did what I found out, just gaggle with salt water and within days it was gone. Am not saying we shldnt go and see a doctor bt d internet is very useful

.

Internet rocks when used positively for learning.
It helped me a lot during my first pregnancy most especially BabyCenter.com as well as
the on-line Doctor of Moyo Clinic
When I talks about pregnancy with people, you'll hardly know that was my first pregnancy

noted. please announce my arrival moderator

Congrats...the Internet has helped many people including me because if not for Seun's Nairaland too i wouldnt have made 1.2million plus as profit selling my product on Nairaland and making people satisfied too!!




[size=20pt]BiggerBangs[/size] Says so

Wow.... One of the benefit of the Internet....but I think it still does more bad than good...

Wonderful!!! The power of knowledge.

Come to think of it, illiteracy is the major cause of problems in Nigeria, medical or otherwise. Have you ever wondered (with due respect) why Northern Nigeria has more people with deformities and abnormalities. Illiteracy is the major cause.

God Bless Google

Nice
