fwiw my sister died at 39 of cervical cancer and my mother at 76. A child died of meningitis in my oldest daughter's playschool and we were all pretty panicked about that....she died in less than 24 hours....I doubt there was a vaccine available for that at the time...cannot remember....but my daughter's would have had it if there were. My oldest daughter had to have polyps removed from her cervix when she was about 17...seems to be a pattern there...I so wish that vaccine had been available for my sister when she was young, and for my daughter...just to keep her as safe as possible. just my pov and experience. It is hard for me to even contemplate not taking these steps....My mom had a lot of health issues so it was a surprise that it was cervical cancer that actually took her down...odd I also had a scare with meningitis. My son had played with a little boy in his playpen when he was one and later that evening that boy started having convulsions. They rushed him to the ER and he was in a coma with in 1/2 an hour and died later that night. I was so scared. My son never became ill and I have never forgotten how close to a childs death we all were. Even our Doctor was extremely worried. How he got it we'll never know! That was back in 1974 in Toronto, Canada. I am thankfull for the medical advances which all come with risk! I know....this little girl had vomited t play school in early afternoon...I had picked mine up and driven to visit family in Calgary. Got a long distance call the next am to advise that the child had died of spinal meningitis and to get both my kids to emergency for throat swabs. That was Calgary, 1976. shudder.... On a more cheerful note, I just came to the site in Firefox and had no problems ... if that is of any use!! sorry. But there was a large version of the bm picture that messed things up on one page earlier... cheers, wish I could send everybody a dose of the weather we are having here...it is about perfect! Sunny, very slight breeze, about 23 degrees C. |

I'm not a Mod but if I were, I would suggest that posts telling other people what they should or shouldn't do with their kids be taken to PMs. Maybe it's just me but it makes me feel uncomfortable, like someone is trying to "win" an argument. I know it evolved from a Neil discussion but seems to have gone off track.

For those of you having browser issues, have you cleared your cache in a while. These are "temporary" internet files that are stored on your computer and that I have found to sometimes slow down my operating speed. I just had to figure out how to do this on Chrome because there were times when the "waiting for cache" message was taking forever. I am not a computer geek and this may not be an exact explanation, but my understanding of the purpose of temporary internet files/cache is that if a page is stored on your hard drive it can be brought up quickly without the browser using bandwidth to search for it out in the ether, so the browser searches your cache first then ventures out into the internet jungle. As I said, I am not a geek and am hesitant to give advice because when I do something exploratory on my computer then the only one I am affecting is me. To date I have not had any ill effects from deleting the cache, just some lost passwords, and more positive outcomes. Chrome lets me choose to save information from frequently visited sites but I have had to log back in to some when I have cleared temp files. However, my browser is now running at admirable speed. Below is a mozilla support site that guides you through deleting your cache. support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20clear%20the%20cache |

It's a gamble. Life's a gamble. You make decisions based on your family history and health issues in the past. Before I allow doctors to shot formaldehyde into my child's body, I consider our past experiences with vaccinations. The decisions parents make could save their child...or possible kill them. A good parent makes educated decisions based on what is best for their child. It is never easy! I think you should check your facts in a reliable source about formaldehyde in vaccines. I suggest the FDA &/or the NIH sites: www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/SafetyAvailability/VaccineSafety/ucm187810.htmThere is more formaldehyde in household cleaning materials & aerosols then in vaccines and those cleaning materials are being inhaled by your kid everyday. Same goes for furniture made from MDF. As always there is nothing 100% safe but in the case of most vaccines the benefit outweighs the harm significantly. My qualifications are an MSc in Virology & Microbiology, PhD in Immunology, Cell research, Molecular Biology & I'm a mom  I hope my response helped you a bit. Yes, and many doctors told me that childhood immunizations were safe. They are, for some children- but not mine. Children are different, their little bodies and immune systems react to things differently. I don't need to go to the FDA or NIH site. They are the ones who told me vaccinations were safe in the first place. I have to make my decision based on what I know to be right in this indivdual case. I chose not to risk having my daughter end up like one of these once-healthy young girls: www.nvic.org/Vaccines-and-Diseases/hpv.aspxI know that it's a gamble either way, but it is a choice I have to make based on past history. Your choice may be different and that is okay! Be thankful that your children have the opportunities to be immunized from things like meningitis or cervical cancer. I wish my daughter was like that, but she is not. BTW, I'm not one of those people who refused to get my child immunized. I followed every health recommendation and the childhood immunization schedule to the letter. It is NOW, many years later, that I have decided to refrain from vaccinations- due to past history. My daughter is simply not a good canidate for any type of vaccinations. |

I know it evolved from a Neil discussion but seems to have gone off track. I think people have been pretty good about expressing their opinions without being disrespectful of others. It's a tough issue and there's no right or wrong, just hard choices and incomplete information. That said, it's pretty far off-topic, so... Adam, damn it, where are you and what are you up to????  |
