Indeed when I read that I wanted to try it but going without my meat was to much for me especially steak

I think any effort to restore the proper balance is worth something. I just started a couple weeks ago ... I still eat some meat ... but I used to eat 80 percent meat 20 percent other ... lol ... now it's the opposite - and I must say I feel great. I used to joke that I was not a rabbit - just look at me now! :D

Lest we forget the recent legal battle over the cancer stricken girl and her parents only wanting divine healing?

Indeed the fridge looks fuller and gets depleted quicker! :)

I thought it would be so hard to do ... but after just 1 day my body was cheering for more ... I can only assume it was starved for nutrients I had deprived it of. I like veggies and fruits now. It wasn't hard at all~

If I could only get me some of the veggies and ranch and cheese.... I fell in love with salad recently but it has to have cheese chicken at least if not bacon and if no meat then it least has to have boiled eggs crutons and black beans in it if not all of together oh and of course I drown it in ranch. Not the most healthy of salads but I crave it even for breakfast which isn't like me in morning my stomach only allows me to eat breakfast food or else I am like no I will just not eat and I end up starving my self

I presume being vaccinated against Measles, scarlet fever, Meningitis, and other childhood diseases is to be avoided at all cost?
Click to expand...
Usually people are vaccinated against those long before they ever get cancer. There are people that are against vaccinations, as some do cause serious disease and even death in children. There has been a rise in the incidence of autism, febrile convulsions, narcolepsy, etc,. which some ascribe to vaccines, which can also compromise the immune system. Still, a one-time vaccination to protect against getting a potentially fatal disease is not quite in the same category as being prescribed drugs to take multiple times daily for who knows how long, perhaps till death do you part. Death, maybe even aided if not caused by a drug that was tested and passed as being safe.

Im sure this is not a popular opinion, but I honestly do believe a part of this is people being overly diagnosed with autism when they really just have some issues with things like social skills, paying attention, ect ect.

Ive heard of people being diagnosed with autism for not making eye contact regularly.

Being in this field, I can tell you it's a load of crap that makes money for pharmaceutical companies...I actually had a debate with another person about it about a week ago...Half of the medications that are prescribed have no Known Mechanism of action aka that means they don't know how it works....Take risperdal for example...the MOA is unknown yet it is still out on market why? MONEY!!! Most psychotic pills are neurotoxic (they poison/kill brain cells) and most induce drowsiness/sleepiness so that people affected with mental disorders just sleep a lot (as to not disturb so called normal society)....most are glorified sleeping pills (especially anti-psychotics 80% have sleepiness/drowsiness as a side effect). Best advice I give is to avoid medications as much as possible as they only create other problems which means more pills and a vicious cycle...Stick with natural products/foods as much as possible...

And attention deficit, being put on drugs as a child because you have an excess of energy? Jeepers! People medicate everything and then wonder why the world is going sideways. LOL. Oh, but it is not funny, is it, when they have to search children for hidden weapons before they can enter school property? The crazy thing is how many drugs, including antidepressants, have side effects that include depression and an increase in suicidal thoughts.

I think autism is linked to the increase in drug use generally but not by the child itself... just think of all the drugs that get dumped into the environment, are any of us clean? We are all affected by the toxins present in our environment, some deliberately used supposedly to help crop growth of seeds that are genetically engineered to need those pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, hey, those things that are killing off the bees and butterflies, ya know? But autism is strongly linked to what goes on in the child's gut, and digestive flora.

Again ADD or ADHD ... It's only logical that if your kid is pumped up on sugar (North America's staple food) that he will be maybe hyper and have a hard time concentrating. :D

Also ... most kids today don't have God ... which has many terrible side-effects.

You know something that recently JUST FULLY sunk in (not surprisingly after the sermon we had on it)... if you truly believe that Jesus is your savior, trust him, and let the Holy Spirit guide your life... you WILL go to heaven. Quit worrying about your salvation! It's a done deal!!

Even if you dare to ask questions and even if you sin and sin and sin*... ... IMO there is nothing we should be afraid to explore.

* I shouldn't have to explain this. HERE at least... lol

your problem is that the increasing ages of people before they die is against you.

I agree in US society, But we have to get ours under prescription from a doctor, which helps to avoid misuse somewhat And yes, MONEY does cause misuse

How is that my problem, or against me? I am merely reporting facts/statistics, and what some people think and believe. You certainly seem to have a problem with it.
