I'm thinking also the " medicine mom's pack " but the 2nd one can wait a while. http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/homeokits.htm on the subject of conventional medicines, i would avoid all of those that i could. in other words, if something is less than life-threatening, i don't bother with it. in most cases it is more harmful than helpful. regarding vaccines, i understand you've chosen to not vaccinate. you may want to find out about any restrictions by the schools you believe your child will attend. in the united states, some states allow for religious exemptions while others do not. also, be prepared to receive a lot of pressure to vaccinate your child right from the day she is born. some places go so far as to call in child protective services. please read the following immediately -- even before you look at the homeopathic kits: http://www.vaclib.org/exempt/georgia.htm Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
