Antibiotics Linked to Allergies/Asthma in Babies
By age seven, children given at least one antibiotic in the first six months were 1.5 times more likely to develop allergies and 2.5 times more likely to develop asthma than those who did not receive antibiotics.

And those whose mother had a history of allergies, were nearly twice as likely to develop allergies.  Read the story here  Also, read about Asthma and Aspirin

Aspirin Not Recommended for Heart Disease Anymore
I don't think our bodies were created with an aspirin deficiency...I just think that the pharmaceutical industry was created with an excessive advertising budget.  Are you aware that more $$ is spent on advertising drugs to the public than on research?  Don't fall victim to advertising...do the research yourself.

Article 1 - Doesn't save lives
Article 2 - Aspirin and Tylenol - Can you say kidney disease?
Article 3 - Aspririn Linked to Pancreatic Cancer - Also, read here
Article 4 - More Harm than Good
Article 5 - An Aspirin a Day Causes Gastric Bleeding
Article 6 - Aspirin Use Dangerous
Article 7 - Acid Reflux
Article 8 - Internal Bleeding
Article 9 - Don't take to prevent lung cancer
Article 10 - Taken twice per day can increase stroke risk
Article 11 - Painkillers Increase the Risk of Miscarriage
Article 12 - Asthma and Aspirin
Article 13 - A Major Killer
I could go on-and-on, but I think I'll leave it here...

Alcohol and Pregnancy Don't Mix
A mother's consumption of alcohol during pregnancy can lead to birth defects and developmental disabilities in children. Fetal alcohol syndrome is the most profound result of mothers drinking alcohol during pregnancy, and involves lifelong impairments to a child's ability to function.  Read the Story Here

The Meatrix
This is a parody on the farming of commercial meat.  Click Here to view it.  If you enjoy beef, I recommend finding a local farmer who has non-antibiotic raised, grass-fed cattle for your source of beef.  Grass-fed beef has:

• A natural source of omega-3 fats that you need to prevent heart disease, cancer, depression and Alzheimer's - These are the same GOOD fats found in high quality fish oils, such as Carlson's Fish Oil and Carlson's Cod Liver Oil.

• High in CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), a major nutrient that helps prevent cancer

• Full of beta carotene

• Loaded with over 400 percent more of vitamins A and E than regular store-bought beef

• Virtually devoid of any risk of disease and infections associated with regular store-bought beef

Did you know that the US utilizes 55% of the world's antibiotics?  The majority of antibiotics are used in commercial farming - for some reason, cramming antibiotics down animals throats causes larger, heavier animals; of course, you realize that meat is sold by weight.

The Flu Vaccine
The flu vaccine, whether in the shot or nasal form, is worthless at best and should be avoided. Not only are they loaded with toxic chemicals including mercury and aluminum, but many people come down with the flu shortly after receiving the shot. This is because it actually weakens the immune system and makes you more predisposed to the illness. The side effects of FluMist, cough, runny nose/nasal congestion, irritability, headaches, chills, muscle aches and fever, sound just like the symptoms of the flu. If you decide to get the nasal flu vaccine, you will get not only a live flu virus in each dose but also table sugar and MSG, which are fraught with their own problems. Research has shown an increased risk of Bell's Palsy following intranasal flu vaccination, according to the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS).

The Doctor Shrugged...
I find the show "ER" fascinating. On it, the people in white coats actually rush around as if something is at stake. Their faces show expression, often of concern, as if they're worried whether a patient lives or dies. It isn't like any emergency room or doctor's office I've ever seen.  Read the Article HERE
