About Me

Welcome to our space!Eric and I are happily married and live in Missouri. We have a 9 year old boy and a 10 month old girl. Our family also includes 2 English Mastiffs, a cat, a cuban tree frog, a tarantula named Elvis, and 2 corn snakes. We have a full house!Eric enjoys reading, tattoos, RPG games, RIFTS, Magic the Gathering, computers, and music in his free time (which isn't much lately!) He enjoys cooking when he has the time and makes fantastic scampi! He likes fishing, camping... pretty much anything outdoors.I am a SAHM. I breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, co-sleep, make our own baby food, and homeschool. I believe in natural births whenever possible. I support making an informed choice when it comes to vaccinating (whether it's being vaccine free, using homeopathy, or selective/delayed vaccinating)for children and pets. I enjoy entering sweepstakes, tattoos, collecting horror memorabilia, and reading. I love deals of all kinds ~ thrift stores, garage sales, auctions. I enjoy spending my free time helping out at our local animal shelter.Christopher is 9 and enjoys playing Magic the Gathering and Yu-gi-oh, video games, RPG games, soccer, swimming, skateboarding, and building things. He is really good at Math and is a great reader! He is learning how to cook simple meals. He likes to go fishing and camping. He is reading the Lord of the Rings series now.Audrey is a happy baby and is 11 months old. She enjoys eating, sleeping, smiling, and pooping- in that order. She was born at home naturally. She is on the move and walking everywhere! Her favorite person is her big brother! :)********************************************************** *******************************************----------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------National Vaccine Information CenterMotheringDotCommune Vaccine ForumsYahoo Groups- VaccinationsVaccination Information & Choice Network.....Why You May NOT Want to Vaccinate - Making an Informed ChoiceFrequently Asked QuestionsState Exemptions-know your states laws!ARE WE OVERVACCINATING OUR CHILDREN?

**Polio** For OPV vaccine there were VAERS reports of 108 deaths per year over a 5 year period. "We commissioned an OPV Vaccine Report and started making all kinds of other inquires. The OPV Vaccine report that we received was a shocking report. It covered a recent period a little less than 5 years and the following is the summary for that period: The number of Vaccine Associated events that occurred: 13,641 ..The number of events resulting in death 540"--The Polio Connection of America & Polio vaccine victims: http://village.ios.com/~w1066/poliov6.htmlPolio: The Disease & The VaccinePolioMany people mistakenly believe that anyone who contracts polio will become paralyzed or die. However, in most infections caused by polio there are few distinctive symptoms. In fact, 95 percent of everyone who is exposed to the natural polio virus won't exhibit any symptoms, even under epidemic conditions.Dangers of the safe vaccine-PolioPolio was on the decline before the vaccine was introduced in 1956. From 1923 to 1953, the polio death rate in the United States and England had already declined on its own by 47% and 55% respectively. After the vaccine, polio actually increased. From 1954 to 1955, cities and states all over the country reported increases in cases of polio up to 642%!Diseases come in and reach a peak and then subside. In Europe between 1940 and 1950 polio disappeared without any vaccination program.Polio is not the virulent, mass killer it is always made out to be. Largely because of the 1950s epidemic (following on the heels of the US presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, who was a victim), polio has been seen to strike randomly and viciously. In fact, most cases of polio are harmless infections. The current statistics are that only 10 per cent of persons exposed to polio will contract it, and only 1 per cent of those will come down with the paralytic variety.**Hepatitis B**For Hep b vaccine there were VAERS reports of 54 deaths per year (1990-98) "The total 24,775 VAERS hepatitis B reports from July 1990 to October 31, 1998 show 439 deaths and 9673 serious reactions involving emergency room visits, hospitalization, disablement or death."Hepatitis B: The Disease & The VaccineHEPATITIS B VACCINE:Hepatitis B Vaccine

Tetanus infects only wounds that contain dead tissue, and it is not contagious. Good wound hygiene is the best protection from the anaerobic bacteria. Tetanus booster vaccinations cause T-lymphocyte blood count ratios to temporarily drop below normal, similar to those found in victims of AIDS. A child has a much greater chance of dying in a fatal auto accident than the chance of getting tetanus. http://www.know-vaccines.org/faq.html#3a

Original Writings on the Circumcision of BabiesMothers Who Observed CircumcisionAnother perspective on the infant’s response to circumcision pain is provided by Marilyn Milos, who witnessed a circumcision during her training in nursing school: "We students filed into the newborn nursery to find a baby strapped spread-eagle to a plastic board on a counter top across the room. He was struggling against his restraints—tugging, whimpering, and then crying helplessly. . . . I stroked his little head and spoke softly to him. He began to relax and was momentarily quiet. The silence was soon broken by a piercing scream—the baby’s reaction to having his foreskin pinched and crushed as the doctor attached the clamp to his penis. The shriek intensified when the doctor inserted an instrument between the foreskin and the glans, tearing the two structures apart. The baby started shaking his head back and forth—the only part of his body free to move—as the doctor used another clamp to crush the foreskin lengthwise, which he then cut. This made the opening of the foreskin large enough to insert a circumcision instrument, the device used to protect the glans from being severed during the surgery. The baby began to gasp and choke, breathless from his shrill continuous screams. . . . During the next stage of the surgery, the doctor crushed the foreskin against the circumcision instrument and then, finally, amputated it. The baby was limp, exhausted, spent".Infant Responses During and Following CircumcisionThe shock of circumcision results in hysterical screaming, crying, and can produce dangerous complications, including rupture of the heart, lungs,and stomach. Some babies are so severely traumatized by the experience that they fall into a semicomatose state. Some circumcisers still pretend that these babies are just falling asleep! No one falls asleep when his sex organs are being cut with a knife. Because he is tied down, a baby has no way to escape, no matter how much he thrashes. Going into a comalike state is one way for the baby to distance himself from his agonyMany circumcisions are performed without anesthesia. Most doctors and childbirth educators agree that the administering of the available painkillers--including the most effective, the ring block, which requires four injections--can itself be extremely painful for an infant. And even when anesthesia is administered, it does not completely eliminate the pain.The pain of circumcision can have serious complications. It is so severe that many babies stop breathing, vomit, and defecate in their agony.Cutting kids: why the pain of circumcision lasts far longer than the procedureWhich is Worse -- Adult or Infant Circumcision?The throbbing pain of the circumcision amputation wound is aggravated every time the baby urinates. Babies have no choice but to urinate into the raw circumcision wound. The hot acidic urine burns the raw flesh, inflicting even more genital pain.What Happens to a Baby During a Circumcision?Circumcision Myths
