12 Food Additives You Should Avoid

A very interesting blurb on food additives. If you suffer from Migraines and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, food additives may be the issue. A Lifestyle Eating And Performance (LEAP) assessment may also be helpful in identifying potential food triggers.

Reconsider...Just say NO to the Flu Shot!!!

The flu vaccine season is upon us. Another topic for discussion and informed consent related to your family's wellness.

I, personally, think that the flu shot is not necessary and actually detrimental to our health and wellness. Many venues instill a fear related to the "flu season" and endorse the flu shot as a means of giving us false peace of mind. The flu shot has many dangerous heavy metals along with antifreeze and other chemicals. In addition, the vaccine does not cover all strains of the flu...only a mere 3 that are "forecasted" to be the common strains for the year. There are many mutated forms of the virus and the chance of getting another form of the flu virus that is not in the vaccine is, as you can imagine, a great possibility. As in weather forecasting, it is any one's luck. Why take a chance with your health?

I may get much grief at work about refusing the flu shot, but I guess I have weighted the pros and cons of the situation. Here is another couple websites (one from the CDC) FYI. Enjoy!

Lacking Vitamin D? Prevent the Flu?

Looking back. When I went in for Samuel's 2 week appointment, the Dr. told me that they have increased the recommended daily allowance for Vitamin D x2...to 400 international units (IU)from 200 IU. For babies that are exclusively breastfed, there is a special need for vitamin D supplementation. Commercial formulas provide little ones with enough vitamin D daily so supplementation is not deemed necessary for these youngsters. Children and adults, alike, need to have adequate amounts of vitamin D to ward off a number of illnesses...even the dreaded influenza can be chased off by this vital vitamin. You also need vitamin D to absorb Calcium so that is why it is added to milk. You need to drink a TON of milk to get enough of your daily vitamin D...so that is not recommended!

BPA

Just recently, while working out at the gym, I came across and article in SELF magazine on BPA. I had heard about it in passing but never really looked into the issue. Just this past Sunday in Fargo Forum, our local newspaper, I noticed another article. Of course, I freaked out...I give my daughter products that are potentially hurting her...and my husband and my self...and even my son whom I breastfeed...and who knows if his bottles are BPA free??? I need to do some more research but here is the magazine article.
