Guest guest Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Caren; I go to an exercise class twice a week that has every age and every ability, but believe me, I work hard when I'm there. I'm probably one of the oldest, but definitely not the weakest. You get out what you put in, and you are also an inspiration to every one who is working out alongside of you. Try not to compare yourself with the others, you are doing this for you and you alone, but be aware that you inspire us and everyone who needs the support and inspiration to add some workouts to their lives because you are DOING IT! I congratulate you! Take care, Wynn I'm new >> >> >> > Hi, I'm Caren. I've been lurking around for a while.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 HI: My name is Sylvia and I am excited to be a part of this list serve. Over the last few years I have become more aware of the concerns surrounding vaccines. My son, now 24, was vaccination damaged I believe in utero. Being a RN and thinking I was doing the right thing I had my Rubella titres done prior to starting our family. They were low so I got vaccinated and compliantly waited the three months before attempting conception. Well, I conceived immediately at three months. I believe this set the stage. He got all the scheduled vaccinations and reacted very strangely to the 18 month one. He was already demonstrating what I now know to be signs of autism right at birth. I did mentioned it to our doctor the unusual reaction but he said there was no correlation. It wasn't until much later when we had our son seen by a naturopathic doctor and an ICAN Neurodevelopmentalist that the connection was really made and it made sense. I have an almost one year old grandbaby who has not been vaccinated. We have studied this very much and initially were just going to get polio and tetanus after one year of age but we have decided against that as well. He is too healthy and doing too well to risk it. Never an ear infection; just a few colds which he fought off in several days. He is very bright and happy with such a good range of emotions. My daughter is a single Mom, they live with us and we are helping her raise him while she is in post secondary. Because of my work she knew the potential dangers of vaccinations prior to her baby. I work with families who have concerns with their children, learning to autism and many relate how the child regressed following vaccinations. So the decision to vaccinate was taken very seriously following his birth. I am always wanting to learn more. What are good alternatives to antibiotics, how to improve on the immune system, how to treat things like whooping cough from a natural perspective, etc. I am looking forward to being a part of this group.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Welcome, Sylvia! Many of us here also learned the truth about vaccination the hard way. When our children are harmed by them, we become focused on the dangers and look for better ways to ensure good health. But for me, over time I also came to the realization that vaccines don't even work which greatly eased my mind over the supposed risk vs. benefit issue. That's great that your daughter learned from you, too. Glad to have you here! Winnie I'm NewVaccinations > HI:> My name is Sylvia and I am excited to be a part of this list > serve.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 In the book, How To Raise A Healthy Child - In Spite Of Your Doctor, by Dr. S. Mendelsohn, MD, Chapter 19 is devoted to the old fashioned home treatment of childhood diseases. Once you read the chapter, you will know more than any medical doctor practicing today. You can find this book in almost any public library or on Amazon. ~ Maureen R.
