Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Wic usually issues vaccines to children, for free and gives you some food, not much and also checks for Iron levels in children. It was started to make sure that small children, below school age got a proper diet, especially iron, because there are supposedly lots of low income children who are low on iron, they also give free vaccinations and usually tell people it is a requirement.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I've read fairly convincing claims that the iron deficiency notion wasn't real and that iron supplements conflict with metal detox procedures. I find that more believable, insasmuch as the iron deficiency propoganda comes from the same source as vaccs-prevent-disease ideas.
