Hi, Aubin, and welcome!!

What town do you live in?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I too am new to receiving the list, though my wife has been on it

for a while so have gotten much of the info.

Like Aubin I spent most of my life believing in vaccinations. Then

about 4 years ago we read the book A SHOT IN THE DARK and our eyes

started to open about vaccines. Unfortunately we had our toddler

vaccinated with the DT shot (omitting the Pertussus) before our eyes

became wide open. Fortunately our son has had no major problems,

though I must say he does get colds easier and last longer than our 3

year old. So we are very grateful for this mailing list being the

medium that taught us to put a halt to all vaccinations.

It is a shame because the human body is so capable of healing itself as

well as developing natural resistances. If all the efforts now put into

drugs were put into allowing the body to naturally heal itself and

eliminating drugs and pesticides and homones, etc. wow what a world we

could make. Unfortunately, we live in a culture and world where the

dollar is god. Vaccinations, abortions, drugs, medicine, and dental

mercury fillings, are all big business.

You have CEOS that make millions in salaries for guiding their companies

into huge profits, and to hell with putting the human race into a

deathly nosedive, that potentially could result in the human species as

well as life on this planet going the way of the dinosaur. If anyone

thinks that the ozone layer is such a big problem (it is) just take a

look at the shelves in a pharmacy. That is really scarry. Also stand

back and look at the drug advertisements on TV. TV literally looks like

the scenes that were in the move Blade Runner where they had screens in

a future decadent city advertising what drug you were going to take

today. If anyone wonders why this is so they should read the book THE

CREATURE FROM JECKYL ISLAND which is the history of the Federal Reserve

system. It will open your eyes on the profit driven evil on this

planet. Why do I bring this up? Well because we are against a real

monster. It isn't just a bunch of doctors that have good intentions but

are a bit misguided. The whole drug industry, which includes

vaccinations, is BIG money to some of the hugest comporations (and the

billionaires that own them). They have vast amounts of money to push in

vaccinations. Add to this genetic research, germ warfare, and even the

biological engineering of plant life.

But enough negative. The price of freedom is constantly being alert and

willing to fight back. With us individually and collectively continuing

to fight, one by one, and supporting each other and protesting where we

can and standing up, we can make progress. I have access to some

marketing information and organic food is making gains and being

demanded more and more. This is a step in the right direction.

Fortunately we are not in the dark ages any more. We do have laws that

we can work with. We can influence legistlators. We must use these

tools.

Honestly I did not start out to write a rah, rah message, I guess

there's a lot pent up about what we are all fighting.

God bless you all and keep learning and fighting and communicating!

Jeannie,

Glad to have you on the list, and congratulations on your new baby!!!

I have a 7 month old little boy Trenton, who has not had any vaccinations,

and he is a very healthy 24 pounds. My DH and I took him to the pedi for his

first visit at 2 weeks old and that was the last time he went. We have been

taking him to see a midwife ever since. The thing about the midwife - which

I am sure you already know, is that they are so gentle, they never look in

his ears, they always ask if there have been any problems, if there haven't

been well then they don't look. They check his eyes and all the stuff the

doctor would do, but they don't vaccinate - that is the perfect place for my

baby, there is no pressure no questions no funny looks or upset doctor to

deal with. I think Trenton is one of the few baby's who go there, because

there is always a bunch of midwives coming to have a look, and the all want

to hold him and play with him, they also always comment on how healthy and

happy he is. Our last visit was a little difficult, the midwife couldn't

measure him as he would not lie down and wanted to stand, so while he bounced

up and down we got a measurement as close as we could (29 inches).

I hear from my friends how they have to go to the pedi every other week or

so, and are getting antibiotics for this and for that, and they wonder why

their babies are always sick, I get comments like - " you are so lucky Trenton

has never been ill " --It's not luck!!!

I wish you all the best, it is scary at times not to go with the mainstream,

but I am sticking with it, against family and friends. (yes the ones with the

sick babies).

Love,

Chelly

PS - I breastfed Trenton until he was 6 months old.

Jeannie,

The other thing I just thought of is that you should consider taking your second child to an osteopath for cranial-sacral therapy. Osteopaths are educationally and legally the same as MDs but they have a different approach. Cranial-sacral therapy has really helped my daughter, who grew very slowly at first, and I know it is often VERY effective in helping vaccine-damaged children get back on track. Here's a webpage with more information:

http://www.osteopathic-ctr-4child.org/

Hope this helps!

-----Original Message-----From: Jeannie Simmerer [mailto:spidergirl@...]Sent: Saturday, April 08, 2000 1:00 AMVaccinationsegroupsSubject: Introduction

Hello,

My name is Jeannie and I'm the mother of three children. Two of whom are fully vaccinated, starting with the Hep. B vaccine on their second day of life. I had no idea. I didn't know I should question vaccines. They are lifesavers... right?

I started questioning the safety of vaccines after my second child received his round of shots at two months of age. He became very sick. I thought it was pretty bad, his Dr. didn't. In fact, the Dr. was so cool about it that she didn't even want to see him. "Just keep an eye on him." Was all she said. I have never trusted Dr.'s, but in this case I didn't know what else to do. So, I watched him. I watched him vomit until there was nothing left in his stomach, and then I watched him dry heave. I watched him twitch and grow lethargic. I stayed up all night watching him. But it never got as bad as she (dr.) said it would have to be in order to take him to the emergency room. He was one sick baby but she was convinced it was a virus and so was I. I didn't know about vaccine damage.

I've been kind of peeking at vaccine issue's now for about two years. No real research, just grazing the surface. I have gathered enough to make me question whether or not my third baby will get immunized.

I've now almost decided not to have my new baby vaccinated, or at least to postpone them for however long it takes for me to feel comfortable with them. I just don't think I'll ever be comfortable with them.

I suspect that my second childs 'illness' was a reaction to the vaccinations he received at two months of age. He is now a bright child. At 2 yr.'s of age he can count to 30, he can identify the letters of the alphabet and he seems to have a very good memory. However, I am worried about him. He's introverted, which isn't a big deal by itself but there is something else wrong that is sort of hard for me to fully identify. He communicates and he plays with me but there are times (most of the time) that he's just so far off in his own world it's Eire. It seems that looking anyone in the eye is just too much for him. He looks at me, but not when I'm talking to him. He avoids eye contact most, but not all of the time. He also does this 'thing'. I'm not sure what it is. It could be just that he gets very excited at times but it could also be a seizure. His mouth opens like he's screaming but no sound come's out, and his finger make scratching motions. He does this many, many, times a day. There was a time that I was very worried so I would wait until he did it and then I would ask him to stop. He would. Or maybe the 'whatever-it-is, just stopped at that moment. I don't know.

Anyway, I'm now looking forward *heavy sarcasm* to my new baby's first well baby check with a pediatrician. He is 10 weeks old and has so far received all his care from my home birth midwife. If I wasn't concerned about CPS then I wouldn't even bother taking him. The last place he needs to be is in an infection ridden building full of sick people.

I'm in the process of reading the archives for this list, but I have a few questions that haven't been answered. Seeming obvious questions so I will look a bit longer to try and find the answers so I don't have to embarrass myself or irritate any of you. :-)

I'm glad I found this list. You have given me a good deal to read and contemplate.

Jeannie

>>>Where do you live???Please ask whatever you need to! There are lots of people with a lot of experience & wisdom on this list.>>>

Thank you to those who responded to my intro both on the list and off. I am sick at heart to have read so many letters urging me to have my son's behavior's evaluated. I was secretly hoping that I would hear a lot of "oh, I don't think you really have anything to worry about" type responses, even though I have no respect for that nor is it what I needed to hear. It would have meant nothing to me. I don't want anything to be wrong with my son, therefore I've had a tendency to look the other way... I don't know how to explain myself really. I'm just now touching on these feelings myself.

I live in Northern California, which seems to be fairly open to alternative views, especially when compared to other place's. As I'm typing this there is a commercial on TV with a nice "Don't wait to vaccinate" jingle. *smirk*.

So, thanks for the welcome and the words of wisdom along with the URL's. I'm very busy with my three children so won't be able to respond to each person who wrote but I apreciate every letter.

Wow, Jolene, you had yours done right before mine (1967).

Did you ever contact the doctor who did the fusion to let him know what

happened?

Scoliosis may skip generations in my family, too. Both of my grandmothers

found out one hip was higher than the other when they went to have their

wedding gowns made. My parents

don't have it, I do, and my son doesn't.

When I had my fusions done, my doctor said it usually happens to girls of

Italian ancestry (I'm of German/French ancestry.)

Does anyone know if they still believe this?

Also, my mother swears it was that last sugar cube I had with the polio

vaccine....

On the other hand, I just went to the podiatrist and found out I have an

extra bone in my right foot. I also have an extra rib, so maybe it's a

genetic birth defect?

Don't give up on a doctor--it has taken me years to find some that

specialize in Scoliosis problems.

sorry to hear about your relapse Donna, I hope you can get it under control.

Can you tell me if it was hard for that year? I'm sure it was but some of

this stuff I read scares the daylights out of me. I start the treatment on

Thursday. Thanks and good luck to you.

[Guest guest]

To Donna: Hopefully you can get on the pegulated interferon if you so choose. I am 6 months into combo and waiting to hear results of my PCR to indicate my viral load (which was over 4 million at beginning). Could use some positive news as this treatment has been very rough on me and has interfered immensely with my life/job/relationships.

Introduction

Hello;I am new to this list an thought a short introduction would be good. I was Diagnosed with hepatitis C in March 1998, In febuary 1999 I started the rebetron which I finished Febuary 2000. I have recently Been Diagnoised with a return of the Virus after a little over 6 months since I finished the Rebetron. At this time I am waiting for an Open appointment with the GI Clinic in My Doctors office.Donna Leanne

[Guest guest]

I have been told at this time that the PEG study is full, that my doctor is

unable to acept any additional patients as they have no room for additional

patients.

I experienced quite a rough time when I first began the Rebetron combo, iI

went 6 months unable to work due to the side effect then I regasined my

strength, and found a wonderful job, and I have the protection this time of

FMLA which my doctor is in the process of signing off on.

Hi ;

I do hope I can as well, thats )))

in regards to my experiences with the Combo therapy, I did indeed

have a rough time with it for about the first 6 Months, I had

terrible leg cramps, to the point that I was unable to work, and my

doctor at the time Insited I was able to work, fortunately, I did

eventually adjust and returned back to work. I now have a very

caring Family Doctor who is about to sign off on FMLA for me so that

I can have time off work as needed for Doctors visits and any

associated illness.

I spoke with a representative from our locat Hepatitis C support

group today, and was informed that according to her information

that the PEG interferon is scheduled to be released Next month. so

maybe we can get it under control before it gets bad.

good luck with your treatments on the Combo treatments.

Vicki,

I had some gum trouble recently, a little inflamation around a crown. Using two products from "Natural Dentist" has really helped, taken care of the problem as far as I can tell. The toothpaste (Herbal Toothpaste and Gum Therapy with Baking Soda) and the mouth wash (Herbal Mouth and Gum Therapy: Daily Oral Rinse and Demulcent). Rinse ingredients include glycerin, echinacea, grapefruit seed extract, essential oils--toothpaste ingredients include Aloe vera, echinacea, goldenseal, calendula, blood root, bee propolis, grapefruit seed extract. I've read that blood root is especially good as is grapefruit seed extract.

Regarding your gum problems you might want to consider use of Xylitol

in either chewing gum or tooth paste. The research on Xylitol can be

found at www. texasonline.net/hiplains/research You can find the

toothpaste at: http://store./dentalstore/

The research on Xylitol seems pretty conclusive regarding its impact

on gum disease.

Rose:

I am no expert by any means, but I am on a diet program called I Love

Dieting and we take Vitamin B (from Shaklee) which helps to curb the sweet

tooth. The ILD program also suggests one or two EVERY TIME we feel the

least bit stressed, harried or have cravings -- just plain hunger or for

sweets or other " addictive " foods. It sure helps me. Also, they have a bar

called CarboCrunch which also satisfies that sweet tooth urge (for me).

Also, I use Stevia instead of sugar which doesn't mess with my insulin

levels and therefore does not continue that need for sweet. I get Stevia at

a health food store and it is also available from Fred Meyer and you can

also buy it on-line. There are cookbooks that teach you how to use Stevia

for cooking, etc. I use to be the biggest " sweet tooth " in my family, but

no more!!!!!! For the constipation, Shaklee has a product called HerbLax,

which really helped my husband with his constipation problem.

Hope this helps.

Introduction

Hello Everyone,

My name is Rose and I'm new to the group. I have been

following the diet off and on for a year. This year

I've tried to follow the diet strictly for health

reasons. I'm having a very difficult time with sugar

cravings.I have resorted to eating Soy Creme (frozen

dessert)in order to satisfy the craving for sweets/ice

cream. Are there supplements that I can take to get

rid of my sweettooth? Also I've noticed I'm eating

much more meat than vegetables or fruit. Meat(rather

than plant protein) gives me the energy I need. I

usually fill up on meat and usually there's no extra

room for vegetables. Because of this I have become

constipated. Has anyone out there have any

suggestions?

Rose

Hi Rose,

Welcome to the group. In the Live Right book Dr D recommends Glutamine for

helping type Os with a sweet tooth. He says " Mix 500mg in a glass of water when

you feel the need for a carbohydrate. " He also suggests 5-HTP for not only

carbohydrate or food cravings but also for sleep problems, feeling sluggish

and/or depressed. I personally found that b/c it raises cortisol levels it

played havoc with stress levels and I was unable to take it, and I wouldn't

recommend it to any one who has high cortisol, or dopamine, levels.

Rose,

You don't have to add a lot of different foods with

your meals but I would really try to get veges with

your meals, not just meats.

Vit C and digestive enzymes are always helpful.

Also make sure you are getting enough water. Not a

lot with your meal but all thru the day.

Greetings Joan and welcome to the group. One way to deal with pot luck meals

is to take something the whole family can enjoy and maybe talk some friends

into bringing like a plain salad or vegetable the family can eat, and take

your own bread. Usually someone will bring meat you can eat, at least that's

happened at out church.

Peace to you also.

Thanks Steve!,

Do you have recommendation for replacing potatoes in

recipes? Potatoes, taro root and yucca are no-no's.

I'm looking for something that will act as a thickener

in soups or stews.

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for the info. I've tried Stevia and I really

don't like the taste. If I keep away from sweets I

don't really have cravings but the problem is when I'm

stressed that's when I feel the urge. I'll look into

the vitamin B idea.

Thanks Kathy,

What I've tried to do lately is to eat meat at one

meal and only vegetable with a small amount of meat at

the second.
