My nephews have been forced to take prozac in the public school system. That or child service would take them from my sister's.Yes two diffrent sisters, two different school systems.
In one school the teachers would go from table to table at lunch taking away the food mom packed and replacing it with something "acceptable."

Parents, God Bless you and your coming baby, How wonderful. I six of my own ages 17.5 to 7, and two 25 year old step-sons. One in Japan with Navy, one in California with the Marines. He served two tours in Sunny Iraq.

My daughters friend is here tonight. He is a 19 year on leave from Iraq. We are having a great evening. The young man went to the local butcher and bought T-Bone steaks to  grill.

So, yes, I am aware but not hiding in a sanitized room somewhere with a bottle of spray Clorox.

It is only because persons like Parent and myself keep ourselves aware of what is going on in the world that I have been able to do my job as mother. As I said earlier, we DO NOT go to the doctor. Everyone is healthy. I have two sons on the autism spectrum (one who would be given a ritalin/prozac I.V. drip if he went to public school, I guarantee that.) Still, with vitamins, discipline and love we are doing well.

Yes, and WE shouldn't WORRY because our government LOVES us and we're all going to be just hunkey dorey fine.  :rolleyes:

Thank God all my children are healthy. My oldest is almost 11, and my youngest (sans the baby coming in July) is four.

During Christmas this year, there was a pageant at church and we all got together in the smaller building that used to be the church (before that, it was a garage) and we ended up getting sick on Christmas. Other than that, we've not been sick since a year prior to that. Homeschooling and good food are awesome to prevent sickness.

I have a sister that has two children with autistic things going on. Neither of them could speak until they were six or so, so I understand what you mean.

They did this experiment with the food in Wisconsin, (not where I live unfortunately) where they tried organic food on the children, and they had a MARKED improvement in their behavior.

That is a question that has perplexed me. Then I began to wonder. Are they un-vaccinated? John (8) and Joseph (7) were both premature. I have Inthrahepatic Choleostasis (sp) any way you can learn about it at "itchymoms". And, so they had to be induced. Now there is talk about that causing problems with children as well as the epiderals that I received being linked to behaviour problems. Also, my husband and I wondered if when in Neonatal, they were given shots by the well meaning doctors. And, I do mean well meaning. They were three great people who took care of my children. Still, if they have it ingrained that these things are good and safe, and worried that these little babies are going out with no vaccines in their future why not issue them while under their care. It is possible. But, no I really think it comes from early birth, induction, epiderals.
Now, my only child who scored a perfect Apgar score at birth is Thomas (11). He has Cerebral Palsey. Why? I do not know. I can drive myself crazy wondering, blaming myself. We took him into Chicago for testing. The tests could not find one reason for my son to suffer with this. Then, my sister Dana said, maybe God asked him in the womb to be a victim soul, to suffer for Christ and Tom said yes. That is a beautiful thought.
If I sit and think of my life all at once (I have Multiple Sclerosis), it overwhelms me. What with homeschool and lack of money and taking care of my 93 year old Grandmother (Do you know what an honor it is that God let her live this long for me to have her by me?). So, I say to God, you know each of my children, you know me (flawed beyond belief) I trust you to steer this rickety ship of ours safely.
I am also blessed in my husband. He is not the type to "get involved in schooling." However, he supports me and is a very steady man to my choleric-melancholic moods.
Happy, you bet I am.
Anyway, Mater I hope I answered your questions.

Theoretically, no, if it's neurological, probably not. If mercury is the culprit, it sits in part of your brain and there's no way to get rid of it. You can lessen the damage sustained with good nutrition, but once it's done, it's done. Thank you, eugenics.
