My Comment:
There is a lot of confusion and fear surrounding vaccines (or so-called immunizations). You can find information supporting vaccines on the Internet and you can find anti-vaccination information.
For parents in Michigan, you can hear an vaccination expert speak on this subject.
Mary Tocco will be speaking about vaccinations during the month of April at various locations in Michigan.
Mary Tocco is on the Board of Directors for WAVE, World Association for Vaccine Education, is the Director of Vaccine Research and Education for Michigan Opposing Mandatory Vaccines, is also affiliated with Mothering Magazine as a member of Ask the Experts.

Pregnant by Acupuncture
"We had three miscarriages, did in vitro (fertilization) four times; and the last time was kind of the last time we were going to do it and then possibly think about other options." On that final try at IVF she decided to do something she hadn't tried before, acupuncture. Andrea says, "It worked and we're absolutely thrilled."

My Comment:
My wife and I tried for 4 years to have a kid. No luck. We went to a fertility doctor and they wrote out a prescription for drugs. We said that we are not here for a prescription, but to find out if there is a problem. The doctor looked at us like we were from outer space and tried to explain that we just need to take the drugs. We declined the drugs and had them run some tests. No problems were found.
We went to one acupuncturist who suggested a plan that would entail weekly visits for a year (thousands of dollars) along with hundreds of dollars of supplements.
Someone recommended another acupuncturist in St. Clair Shores, Suzi Shuai. After the first treatment, Suzi was asking my wife is she was pregnant. Well, it didn't quite happen overnight, but within a month or so, my wife was pregnant and we had a healthy baby boy. The clinic is called "Natural Health" and their phone number is (586) 778-0899.
If you are closer to Ann Arbor, you can contact Gary Merel.

Be sure to tell either Suzi or Gary that Dan Corrigan sent you!
ADHD diet changes hyperactive kids
"One of the kids I worked with started on the diet on Wednesday and by the weekend his parents said they saw a huge positive change in his behavior," says special educator Magne Noedland, who helped spearhead the diet project for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

It's great to see stories that show that diet can have a huge impact on children's health.
I love the last quote in the article:
"I mean, as a parent, wouldn't you want to at least try switching your child's diet before medicating him?"

Toxic Toy Testing - Ferndale, Michigan
Please join State Senator Gilda Jacobs, Dr. Michael Harbut and me on Saturday, February 16th from 10-11:30am at the Gerry Kulick Community Center (1201 Livernois, Ferndale, Michigan) for a Toy Testing Townhall. You'll hear from one of the world's leading experts on environmental toxins, get to meet your State Senator and will be able to get your toys tested by the Ecology Center for toxic chemicals such as lead. The event is free and open to anyone, although we may need to limit the numbers of toys you can test to 3 so that everyone has a chance. We'll have plenty of opportunities for you to get involved in our campaign to stop toxic toys. Let me know if you have any questions and/or if you plan to come. Look forward to seeing you there!
