Guest guest Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Thanks Maggie: I was just diagnosed and haven't had to do anything yet. I can't believe that they can't find the underlying cause to this and fix that, rather than treating the symptoms. I there is anyone who can offer hope along those lines I would appreciate it. It just seems like surgery is inevitable and if that is the case, maybe we are better of earlier before our esouphigus is to large. > Ray, I had my first symptoms which were the spasms in > September 2000.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 , how far off are you getting your srp training. I would get that under your belt, then move to the offshore environment but also remain in the A & E pool on time off from rotation to keep your hand in and pension plan. you could then go back to staffs later in life full time if the offshore market dries up s duttridge <duttridge@...> wrote: Hi new member name david was CMT1 now Technician with Staffordshire Ambulance Service, looking for a change in career any help in job opportunities would help, look forward to chatting to you all, bye for now.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Hi, ! I'm Jan. I'm a full-time mom to a 17 month old son named . WE just started questioning vaxing, and DAvid only has one more set to go until he turns 5. We told them NOT to do the last set because we need to do more research. His 18 month appointment is coming up, and we need to decide before then. I'm here to learn as much as I can.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Hi ! Congrats on the adoption! Can you get the child from Russia without the vaccines? All the best, " Parents should decide through informed choice, which vaccines if any should be given to their children " <A HREF= " http://www.vaccinetruth.org/ " >Vaccine Information</A> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Welcome ! We live in Kentucky, (so we're kind of neighbors), : ) and we have 2 children that are 12 and 13. Unfortunately they are fully vaxed. I didn't get the message until about 3 years ago when we got our first puppy and he had a reaction to one of his shots. I started to research animal vax and then a light bulb went on in my head that said, " Wait a minute... what about vax for humans causing problems too? " So, that's how I ended up where I am today. (What a blessing in disguise our dog has been. He also opened my eyes to homeopathy. We have closed the door on allopathic medicine. Homeopathy has been a huge blessing to us in regards to our health). My children were supposed to get a tetanus shot at the age of 11 or 12, so I have managed to save them from one jab each so far. : ) I know of no one personally that doesn't vaccinate, so this list is an awesome place for support and for additional information. Congratulations on your impending adoption! How exciting for your family!! I'm very surprised that all you got was a small lecture on the immune system of your new child. (and you're right, that's precisely the reason they shouldn't be shot up with a bunch of junk!) It's encouraging to hear that one may still adopt without having to vaccinate the child. I think that question was raised here sometime ago and no one seemed to know if it was possible to circumvent that issue when adopting from a foreign country. All the best to you and your growing family! Kay in Kentucky ************************* My name is , and we live in Indiana. I am thrilled to have this board where I can gather information. For so long I have felt at a loss as to where to get the resources that I need. We have chosen to not vaccinate any of our children. We started finding information about 4 months before the birth of our first child, and decided to wait until we could make a more informed decision. Well, that led to never having them done! And I'm so thankful for that. Our basic reasoning was that there was no proof that they even did what they claimed to do, and the risk wasn't worth a questionable benefit. We are in the process of adopting a child from Russia, and when our agency found out that we don't vaccinate, they gave me a gentle speech about how these kids come over with compromised immune systems, so it's especially important to get them vaccinated. Ha! Sounds like the perfect reason to NOT vaccinate him, in my opinion. That was actually what triggered me to find a board where I could update some of my existing information. My brother and his wife are the only people I know who don't vaccinate, so I'm happy to have a place to share with like-minded people. Thanks in advance!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Can you get the child from Russia > without the vaccines? Thanks for the welcome! I obviously can't do anything about the vaccines that our son has already received in Russia (sad--they can't afford enough food, but most of the kids get their vaccines!), but I am under no obligation to vaccinate him further when he comes home. We had to sign a form that basically said we were aware of the " need " (their word, not mine) for vaccines, and were willing to assume any risk involved in not vaccinating. This was not something unheard of with our agency. They had successfully placed children with other families that don't vaccinate. I'm sure some of it depends on where you adopt from, and in Russia it is most likely dependent, too, on which region. Where we are adopting from has a very adoption-friendly judge that wants nothing more than to see this kids thriving in American homes. Therefore, she makes no issue of things like this.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Hi Kirstin, welcome to this group! There are several of us in the greater Rochester area. Most of us have been soaping for a number of years. Myself, I am only half hour or so north of you in Ontario. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask. What type of soapmaking are you intersted in? CP (cold process), HP(Hot Process), M & P (melt and pour), ect...? Take care and welcome again! Shaye new member Hi all. I'm new. I just joined last week. I'm in upstate NY (around Palmyra area) and am really interested in learning how to make soap. I'm mainly interested in vegetable glycerine based, as well as goat's milk soaps... I have an intolerance to beef byproducts. Looking forward to learning all I can from you folks and getting some great advice for a beginner. Thanks, Kirstin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
