Jen and group,

I am also a new to the group and reside in GA. I have a baby girl who just

turned 1 and am expecting another little girl the end of Nov. I also have 2

teen girls ages 14 and 17. The teens are both vaccinated. What made me start

looking into the whole vaccination debate was the sheer # of shots they wanted

to give my baby. I knew from extensively looking at animals vacs that there

was NO WAY I was going to put all that into my baby in such a short time.

As I began to investigate further, it didn't take me long to determine not to

vaccinate at all.

My baby's doctor is a family practice dr and didn't push too much just asked

at 2 and 4 mos and of course told me how these diseases are still very much a

threat.

I declined based on religious beliefs but what I really hate about that is I

feel that you are seen as some ignorant zealot that puts beliefs before the

well being of your child. Of course, I know I'm doing what is the best choice

for my child's health but if I put up that arguement ,my legal reason for not

vaccinating may be called into question.

On a side note, the baby has not has a single sick visit in her 1st yr of

life!! My older 2 had 6 to 8 sick visits in the 1st yr,mostly colds and ear

infections.

I too am eager to learn about alternate healthcare for my family(ie

homeopathy) but know very little on the subject.

I am unable to do Sheri's class at present as I am expecting in Nov. Any

reading suggestions on the subject would be great and I am already enjoying

learing so much!

Welcome to the list, Beth.

Here is a link to some excellent information on homeopathy by Little. He

is one of the modern " guru's " in homeopathy.

Welcome

Glad you have become aware.

You just use the wording of the law in wording your exemption.

It is there for you to use.

Welcome to the group, . Glad to see somebody else gets relief from

essential oils as I do. I use them in combo with herbal oils and it was the

only way I got relief, dramatic relief, for my very arthritic hands. Did

away with my sciatica, too! I've never had a migrane, but I know you are so

lucky that you found relief, many don't, or have to turn to drugs, like a

friend of mine who found a very $$$ anti-epilepsy drug helped.

Enjoy the natural perfumery chats, and jump in with any questions you may

have. I think you'll find this group has the best resources on the internet

for learning about natural perfume.

, welcome! What oils do you use to control your migraines?

I've found that lavender and eucalyptus relieve muscle spasms and

migraines. So far those are the only two, either alone or combined,

that have helped so I'm always looking for others to try.

Anya, what have you found for the arthritis and sciatica? I've yet to

find anything that really helps with those two.

Hi PJ,

I'm not Anya but I have a friend with a passion for gardening and arthitic

thumbs who swears by my analgesic oil. At it's base is an arnica infused

organic olive oil, diluted with a bit of fractionated coconut oil for glide and

a bit of jojoba oil for nourishment. To this I add some peppermint, clove bud

and sweet bitch essential oils. I love this for all musculoskeletal aches and

pains. When I don't have time to mix up the sweet smelling end procduct I will

slather straight arnica oil on my tired, aching and over used body! I think it

actually helps.

Jane

PS Some gentle stretching might also help with the sciatica.

Hi PJ

I find that infused St. 's Wort oil, coupled with any of the following

are wonderful: Arnica oil, Creosote bush, lobelia, mullein leaf, and some

minute amounts of essential oils such as helichrysum and lavender. SJW oil

by itself may give relief, depending upon the severity of the problem.

I have a very different philosophy about the healing power of " cooling " or

antioxident oils, which all of the above are. I never use " warming " oils

like peppermint or black pepper. I have a very successful business selling

my triple-infused oils to local chiropractors and pain centers. I produce

all the oils myself for quality control (except the EOs, I purchase

those.)The health practitioners report that within one or two minutes they

can tell if he patient will be responsive to the oils. Approximately 80%

are, and they admit that is in line with their spinal manipulations success

rate. They admit there is nothing better for the complete cessation of

sciatica. Due to the soothing nature of my oil, it can be used on burns and

sunburns, bruises and such.

As I slowly get my perfumery website together, I will have a spot to sell

the oil in one and two ounce quantities. I did mail order of them when I

started, four years ago, but I was a bit overwhelmed. Now I think I can

handle it ;-)

Welcome to the group, and check back in the archives for posts about how us

Hi ,

It is nice to meet you. May I ask what is HPE? What kind of surgery

is planned? How many degrees is the curve right now? Have you met

any other families that have experience with scoliosis and HPE?

sorry for so many questions.

Hello

You are correct and J.D has really high tone she has a bacolen

pump that pump her medi all the time .

We go at see her Dr Nov 22nd to talk more about her surgery and to

see if it would be best to go through the front or the back and to

talk more about how I should postion her and how to transport her

and how long her recover will be stuuf like that .

She has a 54 degree curve in her spine and he said that a brace

would not help she need to have the surgery.

Sincerly

P.s I have not yet meet another family personally but the is chat

site similar to this onw where I can share my concerns and see what

J.D share in common with other children that have HPE.

Hi ,

have they decided that she is done growing? I am guessing that they

are planning to do a spinal fusion. I have seen one other child

with developmental delays get a total spinal fusion. I will try to

look up some details if you would like.

Hi Janet,

Nice to meet you! I'm 45 and 1/2 years old and happy to be here as

well. I've always received the best advice in the way of videos/DVDs

and met some really wonderful people along the way. :-)

Hi, Janet.

I'm --one of the few males in the group, so I try to throw in a

man's perspective on the discussions once in a while. I'm not quite

40 yet. Actually I'm 36 but I've decided to hold at 25. :-)

I was 16 for about 10 years but I think I've gotten a bit older lately.

Its been a few years since I could pass for 16. I'm really feeling my

age now. When I was pregnant with my twins people used to look at me

disapprovingly thinking I was some teenager who got knocked up. Its

actually a bit funny. Of course they are 6 now and somewhere between

then and now I gained 14 years or more lol... I don't mind though 16 was

a horrible age to be trapped in. lol And I'm lucky to have a wonderful

family a lovely home and the experience to appreciate a life that

doesn't resemble a soap opera. I'd hate to go back to soap opera life

and dating and working 16 hours a day for a measly paycheck. Of course

now I work 16 hours days for hugs and kisses but they are worth it.

Really you're only as old as you feel ..so I guess I must be 40ish today

lol (I'm really 30ish, but its been a long day and I've been bad about

my caffeine intake and am really addicted to the stuff again and have

been so fuzzy brained without it today. I even spilled hot water all

over me when I was cooking dinner. Caffeine is a hard habit to break

especially since its a legal drug and it can make you feel so good...) I

wonder if the dating years resemble a soap opera (well mine did at

least) what the family years represent? Sometimes I think mine is one of

those drama/tragedies because bad things keep happening, but on the

other hand maybe its supposed to be one of those family movies where the

family strives together and everything turns out well in the end. Maybe

life doesn't fit into a movie catagory anymore once you've hit the no

longer single stage. lol

My 25th birthday (I turned 25 on the 25th day of the 1st month of the

year 2000, I always thought that was funny, not sure why now, but it was

back then) occured a few months after I had my twins and I was

breastfeeding them all day long it seemed. It was a wonderful time in my

life - its amazing to watch them grow and its sad that they grow up too

fast. It seems like only yesterday I was fat as a whale and ready to

give birth and here they are already 6! I refused to have couches in the

house back then because I enjoy sitting on the floor - the house was so

wonderful then - we had little mats the kids would crawl on and we sat

on pillows and ate on a low table. Now the house is crammed with

furniture and I can barely walk in the kitchen because we have a grown

up table in there. And instead of breastfeeding they are insisting that

they can't possibly have what I made for dinner but need a sandwich

instead lol... 30's been a rough year , not because I turned 30 though.
