that your children's immune systems will be lowered from eating Halloween candy? I have to admit, this year I am more concerned than I have been in previous years. Thoughts?

I went to the health food store today and bought acidophilis tablets, elderberry and echinacea.

No, but he is not going trick or treating, he is only 1. He doesn't eat candy.  I will be doing a halloween fairy when he is older.  He can put the sack of candy under his bed and in the morning he will have a really cool toy that he has been eyeing or cash or something like that.  Whatever I can do to keep refined sugar out of his system, yet not have him be the kid with the weirdo mom that wont let him go trick or treating.

No, my only concern is keeping choking hazards away from him (hard candies, etc).

Have you ever looked into the effect of refined sugar on the immune system?  On the system as a whole?  I had not before I was diagnosed with MS.  It is very fascinating, the process used to refine it, the way the body metabolizes it, the negative impact it has on your overall health.  I consider refined sugar to be the single worst thing you can put into your body (much worse than vaccines fwiw).  Do you know how much the average American consumes on a yearly basis? 

 

Edited to clarify: I say the single worst substance you can put into your body but I really meant the single worst substance you DO put in your body.  I am sure there are substances that can cause a rapid death that would be higher on the "danger list" but those are not taken intentionally by most of the population.
