Well, I've been called many things in my lifetime, but this is the first time anyone has ever referred to me as a parasite. Alright, so it wasn't direct, but I'm included in the group of parent's that Amanda Peet so lovingly referred to in a recent article in Cookie....

I just received a phone call and an urgent email from my sister-in-law, regarding a bill called C-51 that is currently being pushed in Canadian parliament. Here is a brief explanation of what the bill is: A new law being pushed in Canada by Big Pharma seeks to outlaw up...

December 4, 2007: Vaccinate or bust(ed)?
Comments: 5 | Categories: Current events , Healthy kids , Vaccinations

I just had to bring attention to this article on Dr. Mercola's site, and his response to it. The issue of immunizations is one that has long concerned me. It was during my years as a therapist for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder that I first became aware of...
