Are you sure it's ok to use the Cowden protocol on kids?
You really need to be certain before you start, bc the Cowden protocol is very powerful, includes A LOT of herbs (too many, if you ask me), and causes a very strong herx.
There are some meds kids aren't allowed to take it all; I'm sure the same is true of herbs.
Ask your LLMD or ND, and make sure he or she knows what he/she's talking about.
I wouldn't mess with it by yourself.
You're an adult, so you can make those decisions about yourself, but she can't make those decisions for herself.
And no, don't use the whole capsule for a child who weighs 40 pounds. Forty pounds is less than a third of what most people weigh.
But you can't always go by weight; you have to go by age too.
