It’s all about wording.
- Immunizations do not increase the risk of autism according to some studies.
- Some studies suggest that high levels of toxic metals are common in those diagnosed with Autism.
- Immunizations are made with toxic metals.
- Babies are not tested to see if they have defective functioning of metallothionein protein (MT).
- Defective functioning of metallothionein protein (MT) interferes with excretion of heavy metals.
Each of the above statements are worded to state a true fact. Isolated the above statements can effect a decision regarding immunizations in different way than when all the statements are brought together to make a choice regarding immunizations.

Having children living in the home will influence what the adults in the home will consume. Adults who have children living with them will have a diet higher in fat. Adults will provide children with convenience foods, which tend to be higher in fat. Even though these foods may be originally purchased for the children, the adults will also consume them because of the availability.
Keeping the high fat foods out of the home and replacing them with low fat alternatives will help both the adults and the children in the home stay healthier. Even children who are not over-weight will benefit from the change.

Giving a child a few magnets to play with on the refrigerator while dinner finishes up seems safe enough with a large magnet that can’t be swallowed. Consider the magnet itself, and be sure its secure. Magnets pose a unique hazard. One magnet in itself is not a problem; it’s when more than one magnet is ingested. Magnets may connect through intestinal walls causing obstruction and/or perforation. X-rays don’t show if an object is a magnet. To find out if an object is a magnet, there is a simple test. A health care professional can run compass over the area where the object was detected to test if the object is a magnet.

Some suggest that growing pains don’t exist, but many children will describe pain that has no cause and may keep them up at night. Between the ages of 3 t o5 years old and then again between the ages of 8 years old and 12 years old children will have unexplained discomfort. During growing spurts around that time new muscles may become over extended with normal activity. The pain usually occurs at night. Heating pads or over the counter pain medication (don’t take aspirin because of the link with Reye’s syndrome) will help ease the discomfort.

Reyes syndrome is a rare condition that affects the brain, liver, and blood. It can be responsible for convulsions, seizures, and occasionally comas.
Though there is still a lot unknown about Reye’s syndrome, these are some common factors:
- Respiratory infections or viral illness’ symptoms were treated with aspirin
- Age group 4-12 years old
- Occurs about a week after a viral illness
- Occurs during respiratory infection
There has been a big drop in cases since the 1980’s. It is still advised to not give anyone under 19 years of age aspirin or any medication that contains aspirin to treat the symptoms of influenza.
