With all this talk about vaccinations, I decided I should chime in. First of all, let me say that the idea of vaccinations is good (for some diseases). The problems come in the methods.
First, there needs to be a carrier (adjuvant) for the tiny part of the disease that will be introduced. There are several different options. According to one page on the CDC website, aluminum gels or aluminum salts are the only adjuvants available for use in the US. Then you have the vaccine ingredient list, 3 pages long, also on the CDC website. See below for some highlights. Here are some of the problems caused by vaccines:
Who is most at risk for these issues?
What can I do to avoid problems?
If you would like your child checked for vaccine readiness, schedule a session. That will include a session to prepare for the vaccine, as well as e-mail support for a check after the vaccine. ---------- Here are a few of the ingredients from the CDC website:

In The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, he talks about something he calls an upper limit problem. We all have an upper limit of satisfaction with life, that's basically our comfort level. If we are used to being in conflict with others or struggling with money, and that changes, we find some way to get back to our comfort zone. That's when self sabotage comes in.
Here are my suggestions for gluten free brands that taste good. My boys (9 and 12) are picky eaters, so we have had to try many. The stores below are local to me (Westfield, MA), but the brands should be available in most locations. If not, ask your grocer or health food store!
1. Shop in the produce, meat, and dairy sections as much as possible. 2. Grocery stores (for us, Big Y and Stop & Shop) now have some good food, both have a GF section: Breads: Udi's Multigrain (light and fluffy) and bagels/muffins, Three Bakers (denser, but good. still like a white bread), Rudi's (a whole grain taste) - In Big Y, these are in the frozen foods, in Stop & Shop, they are in the freezer in the organic section Pasta: Ancient Quinoa Harvest corn-quinoa blend. Another option is corn pasta. Try to get GMO Free if the pasta contains corn. Sam Mills Pasta d'oro is good and cheap. Around here, it is at Ocean State Job Lot. (Follow cooking directions carefully for all GF pasta, don't overcook.) Rice pasta has a rice taste to it that I don't really like, but some people do. Cereal: Most Rice Chex is GF (says right on the front), there is a GF Rice Krispies (not regular) Soup: Thai Kitchen has good noodle soups and some rice dishes that make easy "on the go" lunches. Just a microwave or hot water is needed. Dessert: Betty Crocker has cake, cookie, frosting, and brownie mix, King Arthur has an amazing cookie mix Flour: King Arthur has a flour mix, and Pamela's baking and pancake mix Pancakes: Pamela's, GF Bisquick 3. Ocean State Job Lot has some GF food cheap Thai Kitchen brand pre-prepared foods are mostly GF (they will say on the box) Red Mill has some GF foods. I don't like their cookie and brownie mixes, but the pizza crust mix is decent. 4. Choice Health Glutino crackers (several flavors) and cookies Bell & Evans Chicken tenders, nuggets, patties (These are the only brand that tastes even remotely ok! They are really good.) Lentil Crackers by Mediterranean snacks Gluten Free Oats Bakery on Main Granola Kinnnikinnick Frozen Pizza crust 5. River Valley Market in Northampton (http://rivervalleymarket.coop/) Lots of organic, GF, and otherwise healthy food for not as much $ as Whole Foods Their own GF flour mix 6. Trader Joes' Northampton (fairly expensive) 7. Whole Foods Northampton (pretty expensive) Be careful of shredded cheese, it often has food starch which could contain gluten. Stop & Shop brand is ok, so is Cabot, or you can just grate your own. Let me know in the comments if you have found something gluten free that tastes great! |
