Now my question is....how do you tell the value of what is considered high immunity? I don't want my ped. to pull the wool over my eyes so I want to know what the scale is. Make sense?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2001 Report Share Posted April 22, 2001 Hi everyone...sorry if these are repeat answers, regarding tuna, we use starkist low sodium chunk white tuna...ingredients...white tuna and distilled water. Regarding vaccines...my 5 year old was due when he started kindergarten last fall, so we had his titers checked with a blood test, (that tells whether you are immune)...we checked him for measles, mumps, rubella, diptheria, tetanus and pertussis...(mmr and dpt) He had high immunity to all from his original vaccines. The way I understand it is if a child has been vaccinated when they are little most children are still immune....they revaccinate at school age to cover the very small percentage of kids who do not have the continueing immunity. Now my question...whoever said they were giving taurine for sleep...how much and at what time and has it worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2001 Report Share Posted April 22, 2001 I bet you could find this in nursing student books they have great information on normal lab values on everything.
