The federal government now says it's OK for pregnant women and young children to be injected with mercury in the H1N1 vaccine. However, if there were more mercury-free vaccine available, they would recommend that pregnant women and young children get that instead. Don't be fooled! Thimerosal is a form of mercury! Autism rates dropping in California—is phase-out of thimerosal the reason? [from 2005] Current thinking is that only genetically vulnerable babies will be affected by the thimerosol . . . maybe even as low as 1 out of 200 or 0.5%. But if it's your child, it's 100%. Read this mother's story about her children's recovery from mercury-related autism. |
Here's a good source to have on your shelves. It's called "Herbal Abortion - The Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge." with an alternate title, "Herbal Abortion Handbook". The author is Uni M. Tiamat.
Published in 1994, it contains complete instructions for assessing the gestational age of a pregnancy and determining the most suitable abortifacient for each stage. It also has a very useful list of herbs and their various uses in women's reproductive health care. There's also a section on sources for obtaining herbs and how to grow your own.
