Heavy Metals and Behavioral Disorders in Children | Chris Kresser

An epidemic of childhood behavioral disorders is sweeping the globe. Research suggests that heavy metal toxicity may be one of the underlying causes.

My Grandmother’s Desperate Choice | The New Yorker

This should not be allowed to continue to

be a political issue brought up for torment

blaming and shaming , by less that conscious

faith based folks who do not take into account

all the factors in making a choice that is individual.

As a form of gender preference , or a mode of

birth control , should be monitored , perhaps .

All in all autonomy of one’s body , instead of

judgments by uninformed , uneducated ,

oppositional power hungry leaders , steeped

in rhetoric and moving backwards in an effort

to control .

10 Reasons to Avoid Being Induced Chiropractor and Acupuncture in Heber Valley, Community Health & Wellness – Heber Valley Auto Accident, Whiplash and Personal Injury

#7

A few grandchildren were C -Section.

The breastfeeding issue was mine as well

as grandchildren .

How very sad .

I did not have a 4 th , though I wanted one.

A vasectomy was preformed , demanding

my signature . Frankly I did not know of him

seeing a doctor.

To my knowledge he has never had an eye exam

and wears magnifying glasses .

In my experience all of his teeth but for

a few were rotted out , which I discovered

in 1998, and triggered me so badly I had

to be hospitalized. He urged the doctor to

let me out prematurely , and I had to return.

It was a case of fire 🔥 or frying pan .

As a medicated Domestic Abused , knowing

this for 13 years , watching , sensing , feeling

each person’s emotion , living as dead …

Even in the pain that is evoked with each

strategic move , and I am forced to deal

with current abuses , I pray this is this last

time which is approaching at insistence

that’s intensifying , and reckless .

A common decision today’s parents will face during childbirth is birth induction. A birth induction happens when the labor of a pregnant woman is artificially started, usually with the synthetic form of oxytocin, pitocin

Pitocin linked to adverse affects in newborns — The Bump

Horrible results

I was give with all 3 births .

Followed within 12 hours , they were circumcised.

I have grieved , surrendering my failure and ignorance

and allowing that a male professional of a feminine

as well who was not educated , conscious , nor intuitive

knew what was going on , ultimately what was best

for my newborn and I.

I asked questions , I did not get the correct answers

1980

It seems worse ..yet a consciousness , does exist , and within

that babies are born in tune with nature and nurture

the mother & the father ..so many single women are

not supported by the father , nor family which is an

obstacle , for balance in the home and child’s

core foundational needs .As nature intended .

How that’s equated , the healthiest outcome

for the child .

Pregnancy and Demerol Use: A Guide To Potential Side Effects

Arriving at the hospital at 2 am , 2 weeks late , I was advised

to return home as I was in the early stages of labor .

Another nurse felt my belly, feeling all baby , and stated

she wasn’t going to listen to the doctor’s orders to hold

my labor back, because he did not want to come out .

Instead I was given another drug , yet another very poor

choice for our baby ..

how close I came to loosing our 1st child , who presented

2 weeks , late , 9lbs 2/3 Oz and 22 ” long , with his cord

wrapped around his neck 3 times , his skin bluish purple

and asleep .

Doctor, Sonogram , all off .

I sent roses to my delivery nurse who took charge

and a letter to the OB , who ignored the struggle

for life created , the addict , the disconnected

mother- child , that becomes a mental or behavioral

health issue .

It’s way past time for clarity and responsibility from

all health practitioners/professionals , that all are not

tainted with such grievous practices .

The risks associated with pregnancy and Demerol use should be considered by women who plan to receive this pain medication during labor and delivery. Demerol, a narcotic used for pain management and sedation purposes, has not been determined as safe for women to use during pregnancy but is approved for use during the process of childbirth. Since Demerol can cause expectant mothers to experience side effects and babies to experience withdrawal symptoms, the use of this drug must be monitored.
