We all know the importance of exercise. Not only does it keep us physically fit and healthy, but it also is a great stress reliever and can be lots of fun. I encourage you to get together with someone you love today (a friend, a spouse, a co-worker, etc) and get some exercise. Go for a walk, hit the gym, chase your kids, play in the sprinkler, or even go shopping (just walk briskly) and enjoy the benefits.
Blessings!

When is Enough Enough?
I came across this story today, and it really saddens me. Sometimes I read stories and research and get angry. Today, I'm not angry; rather, I am incredibly sad. My big question is this...when is enough enough? Is it not enough that our children are recommended to receive more than 46 vaccinations between the ages of 0-6, but now a federal advisory panel is recommending MORE. They are recommending that infants receive a new two-dose rotavirus vaccine (from GlaxoSmithKline), in addition to the three-dose vaccine made by Merck and put out in 2006! How many doses do our kids need for rotavirus?!
When is enough enough? My child may get sick from food poisoning. Someone should probably hurry up and make a vaccine for that...just in case! Hey, you know what? My son may get mosquito bites which could cause the deadly west nile virus. HURRY! QUICK! Make a vaccine for that!!! Oh, and my boys swim in the lake. They will probably come into contact with something there. WHERE'S MY LAKE VACCINE?!
As I'm sure you guessed, I was being sarcastic. The thing is, vaccines were originally designed to protect children. Now I feel like they are being used to make rich companies/people richer...at the expense of our children. It is, in my humble opinion, not safe to continue loading our precious kids up with dangerous chemicals. How about using some of that money to research the causes of autism, alzheimers, cancer, heart disease, etc? I believe vaccines play a part in some of these diseases.
Oh, and in breaking news U.S. vaccine advisers have also approved and recommend adding TWO multiple vaccines to the regular schedule. Sanofi Aventis's Pentacel is one of the new recommendations. Get this, it protects against five infections at once! Ok, what you need to realize here is that they are trying to use a little psychology. Drug companies are hearing debates like, "Too many too soon", meaning our kids are receiving too many vaccines too soon. Some parents are only looking at the NUMBER of shots their children receive. With this, they can cut down on the amount of shots by loading five vaccines into one. Does that sound safe to you??? Currently, it's the MMR vaccine that is under the scope. It is the one causing so much suspicion because of the three vaccinations in one. It's DANGEROUS! And now we should give our babies FIVE IN ONE?! Seriously?
The other drug recommended is GlaxoSmithKline's Kinrix. It is a four in one shot and a booster for tetanus, diptheria, pertussis, and poliomyelitis. Read the whole story here.
Please know that I am not anti-vaccine. My husband and I have personally chosen not to vaccinate our boys; however, I don't encourage others to take this decision lightly.. We made this choice because we are confident that we are raising our boys in a way that encourages their natural God-given immune systems to strengthen as they should. We try to feed our boys well, give them supplements, and of course, keep their spines adjusted. We have two incredibly healthy boys, and I am SO thankful for that.
What I want people to realize is that our vaccines and vaccine schedules need to be made safe. GREEN OUR VACCINES!!! I am so tired of hearing about global warming and how we need to green this and green that. How about our kids, our future? Don't they deserve a little greening? I believe they do, and I am going to do my part by putting as much education out there as I can find. My hope is that you will make an educated decision regarding your child's healthcare and that you will join me by encouraging our government to take a stand and make our vaccines safe (and, in my opinion, reduce the amount they take).

Weapons of Mass Destruction
Here is Dr. Dan's weekly newsletter. It's a really good one. Make sure you check it out:
Weapons of Mass Destruction
Robert F. Kennedy speaks out about the vaccine/autism cover up. You NEED to see this! It's only seven minutes of your life but could save your child's life!
And after you watch the video, visit his website and read the research paper he wrote on vaccines. It is incredible and incredibly disturbing. Science backs up what many parents have known...our vaccines need to be made safe!!! The makers of these vaccines were not giving them to their kids but were pushing them on ours. SO disturbing!

FDA Being Sued For Failure to Act
I'm sure you're shocked, right? Anyway, I came across this story and thought I would share:
FDA Sued for Failure to Act on Risky Painkiller
I'm sure you've heard of Darvocet. Well, it appears it has killed upwards of 2,000 people, AND it's no more effective for pain than "safer painkillers" (whatever that means). Anyway, check out the story.Have a healthy day!!!

Could This Be?
Could it be true? It's something I never considered, but Dr. Dan makes some convincing points. Could mammograms actually cause breast cancer? Read his latest newsletter and see what you think:
Mammograms Cause Breast Cancer?
As always, thanks Dr. Dan for sharing your wisdom! To my readers, we have got to stop following the crowd and investigate before we leap into things that could cause more harm than help. Look before you leap!!!

Opt Out of the Optional C-Section
I'll never forget the summer I worked as a nanny in Atlanta, Georgia. The family I worked for consisted of a grandmother and grandfather who adopted their grandchildren. They lived in an affluent area of the city and were members of a really exclusive country club. A friend and I both worked for the family and often took the kids to the pool at the club to swim and play. At the club, many of the kids were there with nannies like us, but some were there with their mothers. I remember being there one summer day and hearing a couple of the mothers talking about their elective c-sections. The conversation went something like this:
"I already have my c-section scheduled. It only leaves a tee tiny scar, and there's no way I'm pushing a baby out!"
"Me, too. I am definitely going to schedule one."
Since then, I've heard of countless women choosing to have a c-section rather than a vaginal delivery. Ok... when, why, and how did this become the norm? Don't get me wrong, c-sections have their place. Channing's mom delivered him breech and said it took a year to heal. No thank you! If a baby is in great distress, by all means. However, we have got to realize that elective c-sections are not safe or natural. They should be the exception and not the rule.

If you want to read more about cholesterol-lowering drugs, check out this article on mercola.com:
1.5 Million More People to Be Prescribed Useless Cholesterol Drugs
As always, I encourage you to try the natural route first. Your body deserves it! So many people use drugs that actually mask the problem, rather than getting to the root cause.
Check out this analogy:
You have a rubber band wrapped tightly around your finger. What do you do?
A. Take a painkiller to help the discomfort
B. Put ice on the finger
C. Remove the rubber band
I'm assuming you got the answer right. If you said letter "D", you are correct. The thing is, it's easy to answer this question. It just makes sense that you would remove the root cause of the problem, the rubber band. However, so many people fail this quiz when it applies to themselves and different areas of their own health. How are you doing in your health reality? Are you passing this quiz when it comes to your health?

Prescription for Disaster Part 2
I STRONGLY encourage everyone to watch this video. It will take 10 minutes of your life but has the potential to add YEARS.
It's time that we stop looking the other way and allowing families to suffer. Satan is at work and has so many people fooled. I am so thankful that I learned this before it was too late and certainly before I had kids. "I once was blind, but now I see!"

Prescription for Disaster
I found this video today and highly recommend everyone watch it. It includes information from MDs about what is going on with the FDA and Big Pharma. It is video that you NEED to see. Whether or not you take FDA approved medication, you know someone who does. You should be armed with information before you ever take any medication, regardless of how safe it may seem. That way, you can weigh the risks and benefits.
This video is part one of nine. Check back to see the other parts. Check it out:

Green Our Vaccines Rally 6/4/08
Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey led a 'Green Our Vaccines Rally' this week. Check out their interview with Dianne Sawyer on Good Morning America:
Here is Jim speaking at the rally:
CDC...MAKE OUR VACCINES SAFE!!! Do our kids really need 36 vaccines in their first few years of life?! We had 10! We survived. I didn't know any kids in school with autism. Now, I know many people with autistic children. Doesn't make a bit of sense.
When I was in school, I knew ONE person with a peanut allergy. ONE person. And I didn't meet her until high school. Now, peanut allergies are extremely common. They are so common that most schools don't even allow peanut products in their buildings anymore. It is an epidemic.
WE NEED VALID SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ON VACCINES. Why won't the CDC do what it takes to make sure our children are receiving safe vaccines?! Things need to change. Our children can't make decisions about their health. They are forced to rely on us for those decisions. Let's do what it takes to make sure that our kids are protected. They deserve it.

Using a Cell Phone While Pregnant May Harm Your Baby
I have read several articles about the dangers of cell phone use, and I have wanted to turn a blind eye...really I have. I have wanted to pretend like I didn't believe it, and sometimes I've just blocked it out of my mind. However, as I continue to read more and more research about the dangers that come from using cell phones, I am convinced that my family and I need to move away from the constant use of them. As a matter of fact, in our home, we don't even have a landline. Looks like that may change...
Check out this story:
Cell Phone Use During Pregnancy Can Seriously Damage Your Baby
The study states that "according to a study of 13,00o women, women who use cell phones while pregnant are more likely to give birth to children with behavioral problems." Some of these problems include "hyperactivity and difficulties with conduct, emotions and relationships". These problems increased in children who actually used cell phones themselves before the age of 7.
Read the article to find out more dangers that come from excessive cell phone use, as well as wifi that's everywhere. It is eye-opening.

Are Drugmakers Going Down?
You may have heard it in school, you may have said it in school. If you didn't hear it or say it there, I'm sure you've heard it said in a movie, "Meet me behind the school at 3:00. You're going down!" According to an article on FT.com, Big Pharma may be hearing that very phrase themselves, "YOU'RE GOING DOWN!"
The article on Ft.com says that the pharmaceutical industry will have NEGATIVE growth in 2011. This will be the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. Can I get an amen?! For companies like AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline, this is the worst crisis that they have faced in DECADES (according to the article). I know you can hear my tears falling, right?
Richard Girling, global co-head of health care at Merrill Lynch, says: “The problem is not so much the size of companies but the concentration and reliance on single products. This has been exacerbated by a lack of innovation over the years.”
The reason for this huge decline is because many of the patents they have on their main drugs are going to be ending soon. Once the patents end, generic drugs can put out their cheaper version of the same pills (great).
While negative growth in pharmaceutical companies is wonderful news, we don't need to start celebrating just yet. Why, you may ask? Well, I think Dr. Mercola says it best:
In an attempt to save their falling dynasty, drugmakers are likely to:
- Pursue aggressive ad campaigns to doctors and patients
- Increase drug prices
- Attempt to extend patents on existing medications
BE ON YOUR GUARD. DON'T FALL FOR THE DRUG COMMERCIALS.
RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. Use medication as a last resort and not as a means of living. We need to take responsibility for our lives and our health and start taking care of the temples (our bodies) that God has entrusted to us. Only then will we see true health.
