Check out the statistics on it…

Last year the Swiss Medical Board conducted a review of mammography screening and their findings exposed something rather unexpected. They assessed that these screenings cause more harm than good. In fact, via their studies, they found that the screenings really only saved 1 in 1000 women who died. On the contrary, the failure of the process, or unsafe side effects, were the actual greater concern.

Eliminating foods does not heal. Nutrition does.

And beware the high oxalic acid content of raw greens. As one commenter wrote: “But, I am confused. After being raw vegan off and on for years, I lived on leafy greens in my smoothies, salads etc. I almost lost all my teeth, apparently due to the extremely high oxcalic (sp?) acid”
Cooking greens reduces the oxalic acid. Sadly it also reduces other heat sensitive nutrients like vitamin C.
Being well hydrated and a daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids are also very effective in preventing oxalate deposition.

Last week in the New York Times, the Center for Food Safety ran an ad focusing on the connection between genetically engineered crops and cancer.
The World Health Organization designated glyphosate (the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup) a probable carcinogen to humans.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is the division of the World Health Organization that released the report. IARC is one of the world’s leading authorities on cancer.
Today in the United States, cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in U.S. children. The President’s Cancer Panel reports that 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women (41% of Americans) are expected to get cancer in their lifetimes. Correlation is not causation, but a correlation of this magnitude merits further independent investigation.
The California EPA is working to label glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, as a carcinogen. Almost all GMOs are designed to be used in conjunction with glyphosate, some are called “Roundup Ready” and have been genetically engineered to withstand increased applications of these ingredients.
So the next time you hear GMOs are “safe,” think about the cancer-causing potential of spraying food crops with nearly 300 million more pounds of glyphosate this year, think about “Roundup Ready” crops and the fact that they are labeled for over 60% of the world’s population but not here.

But…I am a mother first and a pediatrician second. This I have never forgotten. I cannot parent in ways that make me uncomfortable, to make others comfortable. I made the connection that Kaitlin’s eczema would improve if I stopped stimulating her immune system with the vaccines.
In addition to supplementing her with cod liver oil and probiotics daily, I also stopped vaccinations. Her eczema resolved and has never returned. I chose as a mom and a pediatrician to stop vaccinating Kaitlin, and never to vaccinate Elle or Addison.
These are my decisions. Are there risks? Sure there are risks. There are risks with EVERYTHING. That’s life. All three girls had whooping cough – not fun. Could I have prevented those 2 months of relentless coughing with vaccines? Maybe, maybe not. The family that spread it to our family was fully vaccinated against pertussis.
I am often asked my opinions on vaccinations – do I recommend them or not? Every time I answer with the story above.
There are pros and cons to vaccinations. As my training in holistic medicine continues, I rest easier NOT vaccinating my children.
