Chemical Free for a Reason
As many know, we are in transition into making our life chemical free or as organic/as natural as possible. Many think that maybe it's just because it's very 'in' to be 'green' right now. Well...no...sorry. It's not a 'fad' for us; and really it's not for a lot of Americans either. It's just that we are finally getting the information of the crap that is put in our food and lives. It's ridiculous!!
It all started with Vaccines and Artificial Sweetners (splenda, aspartame). We directly saw the horrible, damaging effects of those chemicals in our lives.
______________________________________________________________________________
Let's start with Lily and Vaccines:
When Lily was born she was given vaccines at birth. She was also given them at her two month checkup. Now, yes.... seeing your child getting poked with a needle as a mother is pretty heartwrenching; but during that appointment, watching that happen. It felt wrong...horribly wrong. . . . .
It wasn't even two weeks later and for some reason I felt obligated to turn on Oprah (which I had never watched before or even had an interest in). Jenny McCarthy was a guest on the show and she was talking about Vaccines and how harmful they are. Everything she said made so much sense! When Chris got home that night we talked about it and agreed to not get them for Lily anymore. She was soooo sick all the time and I knew why finally. At our next appointment I told the Doctor we weren't getting Lily her shots anymore. The doctor was so mean to us! She bullied us into thinking that we were endangering the whole population if we didn't !! And that we were essentially killing our child. She said Vaccines were completely safe and had NO side-effects.......right! That's why our government has been giving families up to $10 million dollars in compensation for their child being brain dead from Vaccines??!! hmmmmm..... (feel free to read my post titled: Generation Rescue to see all the facts on Vaccines)
This is Lily's Medical/Medicine & Illness chart. The Vaccine Dates are in Blue. Notice that every time we give them she gets sick and has behavior problems.
1. Hepatis B --- Birth: 7.30. 2007
9/14: thrush
2. DTP, IPV, HIB, Hep B. ---- 2 months: 9.28.07
10/9 : eyes swollen, very crabby
11/9: ear infection
2008:
3/11: thrush
4/26: cold, fever
4/30: impetigo
5/7: thrush
6/24: cold, ear infection
3. DTP, IPV, Hep B. --- 15 months. 9.26.08 (three months since any reactions)
-1/23: Ear Infection
-1/25: won't stop screaming/crying, rash over whole body
4. DTap, IPV, HIB --- 27 months. 11.17.09 (11 months since any reactions)
- 11/18: right after these shots she started very bad behavior problems, she would literally jump
out of her crib at nap time, screaming at the top of her lungs. Would cry hysterically for no
reason. Scream and yell no at us (never did this before). She stopped progression in
learning. Would never sleep, even at night.
-12/1: bad 'cold', didn't go to sister or us
Elizabeth has never had her shots . . . . and she's never been sick -- not once!! Not even a cold! And since that last time with the shots Lily hasn't been either. But Lily still has behavior problems from that last batch of vaccine. I miss the little girl who didn't have so much trouble understanding and listening. Lily used to be so well behaved. :( I try to pray everyday for her to come 'back'. It's helping a lot! Others haven't noticed her behavior or thought it was bad; but compared to most kids she is a lot better behaved; but compared to how she was before -- she is 'gone' in her mind most of the time. If we took her to a doctor I'm 100% sure she would be 'diagnosed' with ADHD. But just like all the millions of kids with it : she doesn't have a disorder, she is chemically damaged. Mercury and other nuerotoxins have destroyed and clogged up her mind and thinking. It can be fixed though: of course with Jesus Christ anything can be overcome and anything can be healed; and there is an awesome diet (chemical free), to help clean up their body so it can just deal with the toxins it already has in it. (visit generationrescue.org for more information).
So learning about vaccines also brought me to more research and evidence of the numerous chemicals in our food and how it affects us. SO many sicknesses and problems that people have are just from their diet . . . .

. . . A big one is artifical sweetners, here's my story:
I used to LOVE diet pepsi. I would drink it almost 24/7. Easily 4-5 cans a day!! Diet Pepsi contains the artificial sweetner, aspartame. I had very bad headaches and felt horrible. I could barely even wake up in the morning and take care of myself. I was told maybe it was the soda I was drinking, so I stopped. Immediately the next day I felt soooo much better. I haven't drank diet soda (or anything else with aspartame in it) since. And if I do I have any aspartame I immediately know because I get sick! :(
Here are the some of the side-effects of aspartame:
(this is just disgusting! I can't believe the gov't can do this! )

decreased vision and/or other eye problems such as: blurring, bright flashes, squiggly lines, tunnel vision, decreased night vision
pain in one or both eyes
decreased tears
trouble with contact lenses
bulging eyes
Ear
tinnitus - ringing or buzzing sound
severe intolerance of noise
marked hearing impairment
Neurologic
epileptic seizures

lip and mouth reactions
hives
aggravated respiratory allergies such as asthma

marked weight loss
gradual weight gain << and you thought eating 'diet' meant you'd lose weight!
aggravated low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
severe PMS
Other
frequency of voiding and burning during urination
excessive thirst, fluid retention, leg swelling, and bloating
increased susceptibility to infection
Additional Symptoms of Aspartame Toxicity include
the most critical symptoms of all
death
irreversible brain damage
birth defects, including mental retardation
peptic ulcers
aspartame addiction and increased craving for sweets
hyperactivity in children
severe depression
aggressive behavior
suicidal tendencies
Aspartame may trigger, mimic, or cause the following illnesses:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Epstein-Barr

ALS
Epilepsy
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
EMS

It is just crazy what we have in our food that we didn't even know is slowly killing us! Please, stop giving your child Vaccines and stop drinking/eating aspartame and splenda!! (check labels for these: aspartame, sucralose. almost everything you wouldn't think would have it, does. Even chips! It doesn't have to say 'diet' to have it!)
