Green Vaccines - Too Many Too Soon

I totally have trouble keeping up with technology - here are the actual You Tube videos.

Green Your Vaccines - Too Many Too Soon

There is not much I can say here without becoming incredibly passionate and vocal, except that each and every parent has a choice and you should do your research. Start here and then check the sidebar for more websites to visit. Just check out the videos below on a mom trying to make a difference.

Pro-biotic

If you've ever eaten yogurt or given it to your kids because of the "live" culture in it, then you know what a pro-biotic is. Especially if you are a woman, then you might have struggled with a "yeast" balance at somepoint in your life during or after pregnancy especially. The yogurt helps because of the lactobillcius acidophollis (I'm going to butcher spelling because I am not a scientist).

Do some research, there is so much out there now about the benefits of a pro-biotic. Basicially, through taken anti-biotics and our diet, we lose the good bacteria in our intestines. This allows the bad bacteria to take over and weakens our immune system. There have been many books written to support this by doctors and scientists, see the recommended book list on the right side of the blog site. The increase of diabetes, auto-immune disorders, ADHD, and many others can be linked to a lack of good bacteria in your gut.

Talk to the people at your healthfood store and find a good one that works for you. We started on one (watch for dairy based or additives in them if you have sensitivities) that worked pretty good for us and we saw a huge improvement in kids sleeping habits, eating habits and attitudes. We recently, however, found a homeopathic doctor who recommended another one that has all 13 strains of good bacteria, since it is hard to know what each person is missing. It has given us drastic improvement and for me and my husband as well.

I've also read a lot of articles lately on the web about how a good probiotic clears up colic. Man, since I had two extremely colicky babies, if I was giving birth again, this is what I would try.

Oil of Oregano

We stumbled on this phenominal product when talking with a lady who worked at a local health food store. It helps with allergic reactions, especially severe and that is why we started using it for my son's behavior food issues. Because, even on the enzymes, he is still extremely sensitive to artificial colors, flavors and perservatives we have to keep this stuff handy. For instance, last time he ran a fever above 102 degrees, i had to give him dye free Motrin to keep the fever down. Within 24 hours we have a reaction to the artificial flavor in the Motrin and the longer we have to use the MO\otrin, the more the reaction takes affect.

The lady at the healthfood store said the fastest absorbtion point on the body (besides ingesting) is the arch of the foot. So, we put a drop of oil of oregano on each of my son's feet and then put on socks when he is having a reaction. It will clear up a behavior reaction for us in as fast as 1-2 minutes up to 10 minutes.

If you are having weird behavior issues that other people would call a "stage" or just being a kid, I would encourage you to do a food diary and when you are getting a fit/attitude, apply the oil of oregano. If nothing changes, then it is a normal kid thing, but if the behavior improves or subsides, then it was a reaction to something.

We have also found in erradicating yeast from the body, after switching to a more potent pro-biotic, the oil of oregano counteracts the "die-off" reactions in killing off the yeast.
