It is carriage rate.

This was transcribed by me, I was the reporter for Mothering Magazine for the

conference. The story on the vaccine conference will be in Mothering in the

March issue. They of course, cannot put all of Dr. Cantekin's lecture, much

less everyone else's, in the article, but I feel like it is a waste to have

transcribed all of these tapes for myself and not share them. I talked to

Kathi earlier this week and they are still trying to work out a

contract with the academic publishers, so there is no date on when their book

will be printed or available. Thanks for catching the caries thing, as I

said, they were transcribed by me, an attachment parenting stay at home mom

with a non-profit organization to run - and late at night. (Also, Dr.

Cantekin has a Turkish accent.) If you see anything else fishy, just let me

know. Thanks.

Sandy,

If you send around the Cantekin transciption, please do not put Mothering's

name on it. You may say that it was made available through Families For

Natural Living. In fact, I think I will send you a copy now that you may

circulate with our name on it. Sorry I didn't think about this before. I

was reacting to the article in our local paper where the little boy was

hospitalized and the mother said " parents should be demanding this vaccine " .

Right. I'll send an official email now...

P.S. Families for Natural Living held a vaccination education and awareness

seminar in Newport News last night. Dr. Wynkoop, who is on the NVIC

leader list was one of the speakers and is heading up the philosophical

exemption movement here in Va, was one of the speakers. It was well

attended, free and open to the public. Our greatest hit was our Parent

Information Packets, that contained transcriptions from the conference. Here

is the table of contents for the packet. We have leftovers and are happy to

send them to folks free who join FNL - $15 a year including newsletter

subscription. We are just now assembling these, if you see something

What are caries rates in this context? Caries are cavities, i.e., decays in

bone or tooth. Perhaps the phrase is carriage rate?

[Guest guest]

I want to indicate where this information came from. Can I say it was

transcribed and analysed by someone who attended the conference and listened

to the tapes? Sandy

[Guest guest]

Should I wait to send this out? Sandy

[Guest guest]

Thanks. Please hold a packet for me and send me directly an address I can

send the $15 to.

I'll use your corrected attributed version and thanks for the help. Sandy

[Guest guest]

One other small error was the misspelling of Catenkin's name at the very

end. If I notice anything else, I'll let you know. Sandy

[Guest guest]

I just misspelled his name, too! Sandy
