I watched 2 very interesting stories on the news tonight. The
first story, they want to put KID’s on cholesterol drugs as young as 8 and want to start testing as young as 2. The other
story , the HPV vaccine that they are giving young girls, the side effects are starting to be reported. You know the side effects, the ones they say really fast at the end of the commercial, they ARE really real.
We are quick to run to a drug to help correct our “problems,” but let’s look at the CAUSE of the problem. 8 year olds with high cholesterol, so high in fact that they need drugsto control it? BABIES tested from 2 years of age and will be, most likely, medicated for the rest of their lives? Or are drug companies expanding their product
life-cycle? Do you know what will really help combat the obesity problem (which will solve our juvenile diabetes "problem", heart disease "problem", etc.)? Giving our children healthy food, healthy lifestyles, healthy attitudes and healthy doses of physical activity.
What are we doing to our young women? We are voluntarily giving them a dose of a virus that: 1. They may already have. 2. They may not have and we are afraid they might get (so we GIVE it to them anyway). We are aware of the immediate side effects, but what about down the road?
We preach and beg our children to avoid the illegal street drugs. But what about the drugs or
Doctor's prescribe? Are perscription drugs just as dangerous as illegal, if not
more? Whose side are the Doc's really on?
Choose the people you trust wisely. Question your health professionals. Make sure they are looking out for what’s best for YOU and your family.
