My boy is 13 years old and he always had been concerned about his so called man “boobs”. It never mattered what I or my hubby said, that worry about his body was always there. It went even so far that he refused to go out to swimming pool or in summer without shirt, actually even without sweater.
He never was fat or obese, but he is one of those types of boys who keeps that extra baby fat on him until he gets taller (at least that is my observation). However, he always was a great eater and was not very selective in the type of food he liked. My reasoning was – if he could just start eating a little bet smarter and move more around, he will shape up and loose his man “boobs” and of course he is still growing up, so once he become taller it will go on its own.
Well, that was all well and dandy, until he came home one day very upset and angry, because kids at school were laughing at him and calling him “man boobs” names. That was it for me. As a normal mom I wanted to go to school and complaint or even go talk to the actual kids, but I did resist and look at it objectively. My boy needed help and the only way we could do it at that time was put him in shape over summer months. Of course we talked it all out and he calmed down and agree with me that there needs to be some changes.
I am also strong believer that you need to lead by examples and because I needed to lose some weight it was easy decision. I decided to loose some weight (at that time I was 200 lbs) and to become healtier by doing so and he started watching what he eats and cut down on his drinking of pop, sweets and junk food – and both of us agreed to start moving more around.
That was 4 months ago. Today, my son does not drink pop unless we have a special occasion (birthday), sweets he still eatch but only about 3x a week and definitely not more than 1x a day. We eat out only about 1x a month and do not eat at night at all and something like chips, candies, etc … he can have only 1x a week. He started walk and bike everywhere. I am very proud of him. When he started his school again, there is not one kid in there who calls him names anymore. He is not perfect and still could loose a little bet more of that baby fat on his chest, but that will come as the time goes on.
(On a personal note: I also lost my extra fat – 40lbs to be exact and counting = I went from size 16 to size 10; most amazingly I also decreased the size of my breasts, resulting in less stress on my back and shoulders).
Just yesterday, my boy and I decided to continue with our momentum and signed up in local gym/swimming pool for membership and we will be adding a little bet of muscles to our bodies. I made an appointment with fitness trainer to show my boy proper exercises, so he does not do anything wrong or does not over do it. I will keep you posted.
Do you have any experiences yourself with this issue? Please leave a comment or your own story.

I remember when my children were little and could not fell asleep. How many times I wished there was something that would help.
If you are in that same boat as I used to be, try the link above. My friend just signed with them and she swears that it is the best she ever did since her baby was born.
Let me know, what is your experience.

I personally buy only the 25ppm Colloidal Silver (the ppm represent particles per mil. – pretty much the strength of it) and following description is the amount of usage that is safe for this particular strength silver:
ADULT USE
- 2 large table spoons of silver
CHILDREN USE (5 – 12 years old)
- 1 large table spoon of silver
(I am sorry but I never dealt with babies and kids younger than 5 years old … if you do have younger children at home and would like them start on Colloidal Silver, contact Doctor of Naturopathy or similar discipline specialist in your local area.)
Please be very wary of home made colloidal silver and internet bought advertised ones (unfortunately there are lots of “quacks” out there who just doing it for the quick $.) Trust brand named products only. I either get the Nature’s Sunshine or Silcol.
How to Store the Colloidal Silver?
- Store it in dark places
- Make sure that is not close to any electrical or electronic appliances
- Keep it at room temperature
- Stir it vigorously before use (silver particles settle down)
- Try not to use metal spoon (metal attracts the silver) – completely first time measure water into a small glass container, mark on it the sizing and use it later for the silver use only (I personally use small alcohol shot glass, that I keep always beside the silver – I marked it with black permanent marker)

Are you like me and hate when your kids get sick? How do you deal with it.
If it is a flue, cold, strep throat, ear infection or eye infection I do not anymore go to see physicians. I do have something other that works great, fast and better than any medications than over the counter drugs.
COLLOIDAL SILVER (liquid, you can get it in Health Food Stores)
I learned of this product, about 3 years ago, from a friend of mine who is an absolute health “nut”, but so on top of the many health issues. At that time I had some lung infection that was not clearing – doctor put me on some antibiotics and it helped some, than once I finished them the symptoms came back and I received other form of antibiotics for little bet longer – guess what, the symptoms were back within 2 months. It was at this moment I complaint all around me and my friend suggested to use the COLLOIDAL SILVER and WILD OREGANO.
Why Silver?
- antiseptic
- disinfectant
- natural antibiotic
COLLOIDAL SILVER AND STREP THROAT
Where regularly doctor’s prescribed antibiotics work on about 15 varied strands of flu viruses, the COLLOIDAL SILVER kills up to 300 strands of flu viruses – there are about 3,000 known flu viruses out there (and possibly more).
I did take the silver for about 6 weeks, 3x a day and I had not a recurring problem since.
Last year my son developed what I assume the H1N1 flu (1/2 of his school was affected) – it was pretty bad the first 2 days (it just hit him – he was fine in the morning and by lunch time he had high fever, extreme headache, was throwing up, very lethargic). School nurse told me that they sent home 7 kids already that day and 1 of them was confirmed to have H1N1 flu, and all symptoms were same for all those kids. I took my son home and gave him SILVER + BUCKLEY’S + ADVIL. I did this every 6 hours that and next day. By the 3rd day he had no fever, no headache and stomach pain was gone. I continued him on Silver 3x a day thereafter for next 7 days (do not forget it is antibiotics and it has to be treated as thus), even though he had no other problems ever since those first 2 days.
COLLOIDAL SILVER AND EAR AND EYE INFECTIONS
My daughter on other hand suffers with occassional ear and eye infections.
- Whenever she complaints of ear ache I put 2 drops in her each ear (again 2-3x a day) for couple of days.
- Whenever it looks like she is getting the eye infection (red eye) I will put 1 drop in the affected eye (2-3x a day) x 3 days.
COMMON COLDS
If my kids or us (adults) start coughing or sniffling I will start them on silver again, usually 2x a day – usually 3 days.
ANY OTHER TIMES
I personally do not use silver for anything else – as I mentioned before, it is a natural antibiotics and I thus I consider it a drug.
However, there are some people (like my friend) who like to take it as preventative herbal supplements.
