to read his article on vaccinations (located at the bottom of his home
page) titled Vaccinating Our Children: A Shot in the Dark.
...a form of mercury called thimerosal was used as a preservative in many of the vaccines given to infants and young children, including vaccines for hepatitis B, influenza, diphtheria, tatanus, pertussis, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana), who spoke before the House committe on Government Reform's hearing on mercury and medicine last year, knows just what this poison can do to the delicate brain and nervous system of a young child: his once-healthy grandson, who was given vaccines for nine different diseases in one day, now suffers from autism....

Yourself Against Sickness Using herbs allows our bodies own defense system (immune system) to build up immunities thus making our body and our health stronger and less susceptible to every bug that comes around. Herbs are also safer and have few, if any, side effects. When used faithfully and consistently, herbs can restore health and cure many ailments. Colds, fevers and flu's, especially in children, will respond favorably and quickly to herbal treatments. So arm yourself with some reliable
herb books (see Our Favorites) and keep
a stash of herbs in your cupboard (go to the Natural
Family Herb Shop). Be prepared to defend your health!

DARE
TO RAISE YOUR KIDS DRUG-FREE Well, yes there is a difference, yet those over-the-counter and prescription drugs, like their illegal counter-parts, can and do ultimately cause harm to our children's bodies. But do we dare to raise our children without the use of drugs? Most people would say it's impossible. Granted, there are times when drugs are what's needed and they should not be totally avoided, but most of the time natural alternatives are the safest and more beneficial road to take. Raising our children drug free is a possibility and is well worth the attempt. Too often I see and hear of parents taking their children to the doctor for colds, coughs and flu, usually within the first day or two of symptoms. Immediately their doctor will prescribe over-the-counter nasal sprays, decongestants, cough syrups or prescription drugs and antibiotics. These drugs will usually give the desired quick relief but at what cost to the child's immune system? Antibiotics are now one of the
most over used drugs. There are increasing reports showing how the
excessive use of antibiotics has now created resistant strains of
bacteria causing the need for new and stronger antibiotics. This vicious
cycle has reached a crisis level. Yet doctors are still prescribing
antibiotics for colds, coughs and sore throats which are almost always
caused by viruses. Antibiotics are meant for bacterial infections
not viruses. ( see American Academy of Family Physicians handout on
antibiotics at Aspirin is another drug that is commonly overused and is usually the first choice when a child has a fever. A fever is one of our bodies natural defense mechanisms. It is not a disease. A fever should not be treated as something to quickly rid ourselves of. When we have a fever it is telling us that a disease is present. When disease is present our body will increase the production of white blood cells, our disease fighting cells. The increased production of white blood cells raises the body temperature which helps create a favorable environment for the white blood cells to survive in as they work to eliminate the toxins that are making us sick. Quickly ridding our body of a fever by the use of aspirin or an aspirin substitute like acetaminophen, will disrupt this important natural defense mechanism and can ultimately prolong the disease and cause the need for further and stronger interference. So how can we raise our children
drug-free? Staying free from sickness is the best way. You've heard
"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". We can keep our
children healthy and their immune systems strong through good wholesome
nutrition. Fresh, organic when possible,fruit and vegetables, whole
grain breads, soy and other plant proteins and plenty of
