I support this. If you have already seen the who is who in Kenya then try India. India has one of the best medical care in the world and the doctors are highly qualified and professional. Plus the costs are almost the same with here, probably even cheaper.

My brother-in-Law in suffering from Kidney failure and he has experience with the Indian medical system. He can offer advice on where to go or who to see and maybe the procedures that you may need. In addition, he can connect you with a doctor and you can share the child's symptoms and do an initial diagnosis and they can tell you the way forward.

If you are interested email me on chepkel25@gmail.com and i'll give you his number.
I wish you all the best and I sure will remember your boy in my praeyers. I have a 4 year old too so I can imagine how you are feeling.



I’d also suggest you catch the next flight to BOM Pierce so that you can have the problem diagnosed and identified. This will be the major milestone that must be done ASAP. The treatment will follow thereafter.
Time is of essence since the condition is unknown; you never know what each passing day means.

A times I find some of .KE doctors either too commercial oriented or use trial & error methods.

I pray the boy feels better soon and kick that ball like hard like Messi smile

Pole sana at Peirce,

Before jumping onto the next flight to India, try Kijabe hospital first like someone said if you havent done so already. I have had experience with the hospital when my second one was 4 weeks old and everything worked out well in the end.
Whatever you decide, all the best and quick recovery to the young one.

Try Prof. Gakuo at Menelik medical centre off Ngong Rd. If he can't figure it out, he will direct you to someone who will.

He will be well, don't despair.
His bones are still brittle and he's growing so keep hope alive.
I believe that people here have advised you well since most are parents.

So sorry.

Try a chiropractor. Link on FB Problem might actually not be on the knees. A bone reset somewhere might be causing pressure on knees.

Second thing, hope you are giving him pro-biotics. Anti-biotics also kill the friendly bacteria in the gut. Be careful with them, they might end up doing more harm than good. Also read here that they eat away teeth. Brush his teeth after the anti-biotics.

Sunshine. Give him lots. Vitamin D, Calcium=strong bones. The body 'borrows' from the bones calcium to alkanize the body. The body alkanizes after we've fed it garbage and made it acidic. Thus weak bones and osteoporosis.

And before rushing to India and conventional doctors, I'd suggest nutritionists and good acclaimed herbal doctors. Medicine doesn't heal. The body heals itself.


Asante sana for the advise. Will start on the quick wins immediately.

We were already planning to see a nutritionist. Will do so soonest.

Asante sana


Pole @Pierce, Quick recovery for the kid (Two years two months though if Birthday is 24th January 2011).
@Mukiri's advice is good.

true


Forgot to mention
The power of 'Touch'. Alot of our diseased people suffer even more because neither themselves nor loved ones will touch them. Please massage the poor soul as much as possible. Let those close to him touch him, where it doesn't hurt. There is alot of psychological power in just that simple thing.

We are our blood. Our blood is what we drink. People take water for granted. By water, I mean good water. Just because you boil water doesn't make it safe... infact, the very act of boiling ignites the poisonous metals causing chemical reactions. You need a good filtration system for all the water you use. Especially drinking and cooking water.

That sounds like Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis.
If indeed it is. It can be best handled by an orthopaedic surgeon
