Wow just wow

I will readily admit that I am a liker of the facebook group Stop the Australian (Anti)Vaccination Network I feel that they do important work at stopping the misinformation given out by the Australian Vaccination Network(I won't be providing a link to this because of what they stand for).  The dangerous mis information and treatment of the parent's who's children have died for Vaccine Preventable diseases is disgusting.  Some of you will have heard the story of one such family that tragically lost their child to whooping cough only to have the AVN contact them and family member and also tried to get a copy of the autopsy report to "prove" she didn't die from whooping cough, here is just some of what these parents have had to go through

Today while reading the Stop the Australian (Anti) Vaccination Network I was shown a link to another blog that had two different post that had me shaking my head with rage and I am not sure what.  I was speechless and horrified.  One post was discussing the MMS(Miracle Mineral solution)

http://leftbrainrightbrain.co.uk/2012/05/30/mms-or-how-to-cure-autism-with-bleach-brought-to-you-by-autismone/

This is a serious one people are making a fortune out of providing "cures" for all different things including Autism from this stuff.  Which when mix as the directions state becomes BLEACH.  And people are giving this stuff to their children one part of it had me just horrified

"For MMS you will see vomiting and diarrhea. Parents discuss ramping up the dose of MMS until the child starts to vomit, then backing off.

The presentation from AutismOne includes:

It is common to find that the child gets a fever. This is very good."

Plus here is the recommendation from the FDA

"FDA Warns Consumers of Serious Harm from Drinking Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS)

Product contains industrial strength bleach

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to take Miracle Mineral Solution, an oral liquid also known as “Miracle Mineral Supplement” or “MMS.” The product, when used as directed, produces an industrial bleach that can cause serious harm to health."

Look I understand that people want a cure for Autism but there isn't one, No "natural" remedy is going to fix your child.

Then there was this
http://leftbrainrightbrain.co.uk/2010/12/09/bring-the-crazy-fecal-transplant/

"One of those is the Autism Web forums, where the latest trend being discussed is Fecal Transplant.

Yeah. Fecal Transplant.

It is actually a known therapy to attempt to cure

…pseudomembranous colitis (caused by Clostridium difficile), or ulcerative colitis which involves restoration of colon homeostasis by reintroducing normal bacterial flora from stool obtained from a healthy donor.

Feeling a bit icky yet?

But like so many known treatments for known ailments (chelation for example), the extreme biomed party like to put their own unique twist on things:

Ok, you guys, I got some info for you, please do not hate me 
Here is how this procedure was done by that physician in canada who does not practice anymore.
you collect the stool from a healthy relative (mother, father , so on) for a week in a bucket, no preservatives or cooling. Then mix well, fill in a decorating cone (that cloth cone you use to decorate a cake).
Use the cone as an enema to empty all the content in the patient’s colon. The patient needs to hold that as long as possible."

Why haven't people been pulled up for this?  Allowing people to "treat" others in this manner is extremely DANGEROUS they aren't health professionals they a "laymen" they could cause serious harm to their children doing either of these things.  Feeding your child bleach can lead to death and you in prison because you are poisoning your child.

Those suggesting dangerous information need to be stop, I don't want to infringe on anyone's right to free speech but please make sure you know what you are talking about and that this information is dangerous.

Going Girly and a life update.

I have decided that I need to stop biting my nails and to do so I need to go girly.  I have had to put fake nails on, this is because I am rather weird and will eat the stop bite stuff to continue to bite by nails.

My children think that it rather funny to see me trying to use my hands now that I have these damn nails on because I am so un use to long nails it's making this rather fun to try. Typing is a big pain in my butt because the nails catch other letters and I have to do back and undo the mistakes that happen.

They also think I should go all out girly and start wearing make up and dresses all the time.  HA like that is ever going to happen.

Many things have happened since my last blog, My oldest child turned 11(where have the years gone?), I have had a job interview and still waiting to hear back about it(will be told either way) and life in general has just been busy busy busy.  But the best thing to happen was that Husband finally took a holiday.  I mean a real one not 2 or 3 days but 9 days and we took the kids out of school a week early and went on a family holiday together.  It was great the kids loved spending that time with their dad as it rarely ever happens in this house.

Also I was sick for a while, I got sinusitis and went to the DR who while doing an exam noted that I had tonsillitis as well but failed to treat the tonsillitis so I ended up in hospital barely able to breath because of the pain and barely able to swallow which meant IV anti's and two weeks worth of taking pills after I was discharge.(great going GP not going back to them again).

That's my catch up, hopefully I will be more diligent in posting.
