Glutathione is the agent in your body responsible for removing toxins. When I google Glutathione or look it up in Wikipedia, it seems pretty important.

They're finding that lots of autoimmune problems today may be caused in part by a too-sanitized environment, and having pets can actually be stimulating to the immune system. If it's too clean, I think tkhe immune system gets bored and attacks itself. <BR/><BR/>And Oh, yeah, thanks for mentioning, a fever over 103 should be attended to medically because it can cause brain damage. <BR/><BR/>All medications have side effects (i.e., it's effectiveness is a side effect, basically), so,, as I was "chatting" with Elise, on needs to figure out what the risks and rewards are!<BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/>mlGreenFertilityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386105175441718294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25834276.post-1152328417167115472006-07-07T20:13:00.000-07:002006-07-07T20:13:00.000-07:00Hey Elisa,For what it's worth, there's TONS of ado...Hey Elisa,<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, there's TONS of adopted autistic kids on the lsits I frequent; esp. because the guidelines for intl adoption are--revaccinate (and yes, that means layering vaccines on top of each other), 'cause those third world countries (where we're sending all our old mercury laden vaccines, by the way) must have sucky vaccines, right? <BR/><BR/>Your pedi seems pretty level headed. I'm actually NOT against vaccines. It's more that with every health intervention, one needs to weight risks versus benefits (as you are doing) and not go blindly to one extreme or another. I think if we would have known more, we wouldn't have given him all the vaccines, esp. since he had awful reactionsto them (nonstop screaming, fever, dump more Tylenol on it--hello?) and theh cancer was a biiiiig indicator that all was not well with his immune system. <BR/><BR/>There's a great book by Dr. Stephanie Cave, WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT VACCINES (part of the "What your doctor may not tell you" series) that's super sensible (e.g., gives you a vaccine schedule, ezplains the risks in layman's terms).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for taking the time to comment! You sound like an awesome parent.GreenFertilityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386105175441718294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25834276.post-1152307249054256392006-07-07T14:20:00.000-07:002006-07-07T14:20:00.000-07:00I've actually had fights with my mom over the whol...I've actually had fights with my mom over the whole medication issue.<BR/><BR/>She lives with us and is a total "medicate at first sign of discomfort" person. <BR/><BR/>I, however, believe it's better to let my son's immune system fight it out with whatever's attacking so he'll get stronger. <BR/><BR/>I'll medicate if it looks like he's reaching dangerous levels, i.e. fever over 103, etc.<BR/><BR/>But otherwise I just provide comfort and let his body handle the illness.Pilarcitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653897263145723280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25834276.post-1152294768876236162006-07-07T10:52:00.000-07:002006-07-07T10:52:00.000-07:00We've also been in the middle of this vaccinate or...We've also been in the middle of this vaccinate or not issue...both of my daughters are adopted and our options when we got home were: vaccinate according to what the vacc. records show, do a titers to find if there are antibodies there (if the recorded vaccines took or were even given), or totally RE-vaccinate! (which could mean up to 5-6 shots on one visit to catch up!) Luckily, our Dr. is not a crazy-vaccinator and suggested starting slowly with the most imp. ones. But I know people who re-vacc. and does that mean vaccine on top of vaccine? 6 at a time? HOWEVER, I also have a colleague that is an aut. specialist and she says much of the research on vacc. related autism is not well-supported and often research on vacc. for this purspose is not done to increase the reliability of the project....so...I'll just be trying feverfew and watching those vaccines...<BR/>elise~elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08278027484318326821noreply@blogger.com
