Most commentaries on this event state "New Jersey became the first state to require compulsory vaccinations for children" as though this were something to congratulate them for, and as though they are breaking wonderful new ground here.

I find this terrifying!  Please follow the links, and send support to those listed in the second link, who are opposing this disturbing trend.

Only New Jersey Assemblywoman Charlotte Vandervalk (R-Bergen), a sponsor of a bill (A165) that would allow parents to opt out of the vaccine mandates by filing a "conscientious exemption" form with the local health department, voted against these vaccine requirements. "I'm gravely concerned about what's happening here today," said Assemblywoman Charlotte Vandervalk (R-Bergen), a sponsor of a bill (A165) that would allow parents to opt out of the vaccine mandates by filing a "conscientious exemption" form with the local health department. "With New Jersey reporting the highest incidence of autism and a cause yet to be identified, we don't know what will happen," she said. "What happened to our freedom?"

I remember getting spanked as a child, for a sin which most people would consider a punishment in itself - drinking the Cod Liver Oil.  Did I know I was deficient in D?  Very possibly!  Certainly in light of all the new research I have added a goodly amount of it to my regimen, and I imagine you will want to as well.

Let me give you a hint:  50% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D - and 60% off cancers are now considered to be preventable by adequate Vitamin D levels.

I do not find the taste of Cod Liver Oil disagreeable - but it is also available in capsules.  Remember, though, that not all the capsules have the benefit of the Omega 3s which are naturally present in the liquid oil.

We have just recently found out many, many toys contain lead in levels that pose a threat to children.  But how long has this been going on undetected?

Just possibly while it IS a toxic metal that has caused the horrifying increase in autistic symptomology, it is not only mercury, but LEAD that is to blame.

Warning:  lead poisoning or autism?

Housework can cause asthma.

Unfortunately this news doesn't give a free pass to those of us who already clean our houses using non-toxic products, but it is a definite heads-up for anyone who still relies on the conventional sprays to keep their house shining clean.

Here in the store we carry the Mrs. Meyer cleaning products - doing the dishes in a haze of lavender brings a whole new dimension to the chore!  There are other lines of healthy cleaning products - give them a try.  Generally, they are comparable in price, and far, far better for us and for the environment.

Who needs chemical air fresheners anyway?  Or even the synthetic herbal ones? Buy one of the lovely terracotta rings that go on your lamp, and the mellow glow of your house in the evening will carry with it the sublime aroma of whichever essential oil you choose to put in there! Or choose a soy candle made with pure essential oils.
