Representatives Dave Weldon (R. Fla.) and Carolyn Maloney (D. NY) have introduced bold and far-reaching legislation that would reform the administration of vaccine safety by the Federal government. The bill, called the “Vaccine Safety Promotion Act of 2007” contains many important reforms to the way vaccine-safety regulation is conducted by our government.

At a press conference at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, April 18, 2007. 12:45 p.m. Rayburn House Office Building Rm. 2222, A-CHAMP’s Virginia District Leader, Dr. Julia Whiting, will reaffirm A-CHAMP’s strong endorsement of the re-introduced legislation.

This far-reaching legislation provides for the following:
•Makes vaccine safety research and public oversight a high priority for Federal public health agencies
• Requires public access to data
• Requires transparency in decision-making by government regulators

• Requires accountability by the government to the public that it serves
• Requires long-term safety monitoring of the vaccine schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control.

• Transfers vaccine-safety regulatory functions now conducted by the CDC to a new independent entity, the Agency for Vaccine Safety Evaluation (“AVSE”)
• Requires that those who monitor vaccine safety and conduct vaccine research must be free of conflicts of interest

• Places oversight of the Vaccine Safety Datalink, the nation’s primary resource for vaccine safety information, under the newly created AVSE. This change will assure the public that analysis and reporting of vaccine safety will be unbiased
• Requires the vaccine industry to conduct post-marketing surveillance of adverse reaction to vaccines, a measure that will correct the inadequate testing that currently prevails
• Creates an Advisory Council that gives significant participation in the administration of vaccine safety to parties outside the government regulatory bureaucracy

• Provides for membership on the Advisory Council by those most affected by vaccine safety policy: vaccine-injured individuals and their parents
A-CHAMP and its many supporters will actively campaign to generate support for this important legislation among members of Congress and the public so that we can better protect children from the adverse effects of vaccines.

BE A-CHAMP FOR CHILDREN!

I can’t believe I am writing an article about socialization, The word makes my skin crawl. As homeschoolers, we are often accosted by people who assume that since we’re homeschooling, our kids won’t be “socialized.” The word has become such a catch phrase that it has entirely lost any meaning.

The first time I heard the word, I was attending a Catholic day school as a first grader.

Having been a “reader” for almost 2 years, I found the phonics and reading lessons to be incredibly boring. Luckily the girl behind me felt the same way, and when we were done with our silly little worksheets, we would chat back and forth. I’ve never known two 6 yr. olds who could maintain a quiet conversation, so naturally a ruler-carrying nun interrupted us with a few strong raps on our desk. We were both asked to stay in at recess, and sit quietly in our desks for the entire 25 minutes, because “We are not here to socialize, young ladies.”

Those words were repeated over and over throughout my education, by just about every teacher I’ve ever had. If we’re not there to socialize, then why were we there? I learned to read at home. If I finished my work early (which I always did,) could I have gone home? If I were already familiar with the subject matter, would I have been excused from class that day? If schools weren’t made for socializing, then why on earth would anyone assume that homeschoolers were missing out?

As a society full of people whose childhood’s were spent waiting anxiously for recess time, and trying desperately to “socialize” with the kids in class; It is often difficult for people to have an image of a child whose social life is NOT based on school buddies. Do you ever remember sitting in class, and wanting desperately to speak to your friend? It’s kind of hard to concentrate on the lessons when you’re bouncing around trying not to talk. Have you ever had a teacher who rearranged the seats every now and then, to prevent talking, splitting up friends and “talking corners.” Were you ever caught passing notes in class?

Now- flash forward to “real life.” Imagine the following scenes:

Your Employer is auditing the Inter-Office Email system and comes across a personal note between you and a coworker. You are required to stand at the podium in the next sales meeting to read it aloud to your coworkers. The Police knock on your door, and announce that because you and your neighbor have gotten so close, they’re separating you. You must move your home and your belongings to the other side of town, and you may only meet at public places on weekends.

You’re sitting at a booth waiting for a coworker to arrive for a scheduled lunch date. Suddenly a member of upper management sits down across from you and demands your credit cards. When your friend arrives, you just order water and claim you’re not hungry, since he stole your lunch money.

You’re applying for a job and in an unconventional hiring practice, you are made to line up with other applicants, and wait patiently while representatives from two competing companies take their pick from the lineup.

You’re taking your parents out for an anniversary dinner. After you find a table, a waiter tells you that seniors have a separate dining room, lest they “corrupt” the younger members of society.

You go to the grocery store only to find that since you are 32 years old you must shop at the store for 32 year olds. It’s 8 miles away and they don’t sell meat because the manager is a vegetarian, but your birthday is coming up and soon you’ll be able to shop at the store for 33 yr. olds.

You’d like to learn about Aviation History. You go to the library and check out a book on the subject only to be given a list of “other subjects” that you must read about before you are permitted to check out the aviation book.

You’re having a hard time finding what you need in the local department store. The saleslady explains that each item is arranged alphabetically in the store, so instead of having a section for shoes, you will find the men’s shoes in between the maternity clothes and the mirrors.

Your Cable Company announces that anyone wishing to watch the Superbowl this year must log on a certain number of hours watching the Discovery Channel before they can be permitted to watch the game.

You apply for a job only to be told that this job is for 29 year olds. Since you’re 32, you’ll have to stay with your level.

In a group project, your boss decides to pair you up with the person you don’t “click” with. His hope is that you’ll get learn to get along with each other, regardless of how the project turns out.

These absurd examples were created to point out how absolutely ridiculous the idea of “socializing” in schools is. Many people had a friend who they stayed friends with all through grammar school- WHY? Because their names were alphabetically similar, and they always ended up in line with each other. As an adult, have you ever made friends with someone simply because your names were similar? How long would such a friendship last and how meaningful would it be, providing you had nothing else in common?

People often use the bully as an example of why it’s so important to let kids “socialize” at school. If that’s so important, then the bully needs to go to JAIL after a few months, because self-respecting society simply doesn’t put up with that, nor should my 6 yr. old. Sure, there are crappy people in the world, but the world does a much better job of taking care of these things. A bullying brat in the first grade will still be a bullying brat in the 6th grade. He will still be picking on the same kids year after year after year, unless he moves to a new town. How long would the average adult put up with a bully? Personally, as an adult, I have only come across one grown up bully. I choose not to be around this miserable woman. So do many other people. THAT is real life. If she were a coworker, I would find a different job. If she worked at a business I patronized- not only would I refrain from doing business with that company, I would write a letter to the bully, her manager, the owner and the main office. A kid in a classroom has no way to emotionally protect themselves against such a person. I would never expect my kids to put up with bad treatment from a bully in the name of “toughening them up.” For what? So they can be submissive wimps when they grow up too? So they can “ignore” their miserable bosses and abusive spouses? In real life, if an employer discovered that an employee was harassing the other staff members, that employee could be fired (pending the 90 day evaluation) or relocated. In real life, if you are so dreadfully harassed by a coworker you can seek legal recourse independently. In a classroom, the teacher and other children are often powerless.

The idea of learning acceptable social skills in a school is as absurd to me as learning nutrition from a grocery store.

As Homeschoolers, the world is our classroom. We interact with people of all ages, sexes and backgrounds. We talk to and learn from everyone who strikes our interest. We use good manners in our home and I’m always pleased when others comment on the manners my children have picked up. I believe good manners to be an important social skill.

Respecting common areas is also of value to us. We often carry a grocery bag with us on walks, in case we find trash that needs to be discarded. When we’re waiting at a bus stop, if there is trash on the ground, we make a point to carry it onto the bus and discard of it properly. Once, while waiting at a bus stop- we saw a grown man drop his popsicle wrapper on the ground. He was 2 feet from a trash can- My daughter looked up at me with eyes as big as saucers. I told her (out loud) “It must have blown out of his hand from that little wind, because no-one would throw trash on the ground on purpose. I’m sure when he’s done with his popsicle, he will pick it up and throw it away correctly- otherwise, we can take care of it so we don’t have an ugly world.” He did pick it up, rather sheepishly. I can’t imagine expecting my children to have a respect for the cleanliness of common areas in an environment where bathroom walls are covered in graffiti and trees are scratched with symbols of “love” of all things.

Another social skill we strive to teach our children is that all people are created equal. I can’t imagine doing that in an environment where physically disadvantaged children are segregated into a “special” classroom. Or even children who speak a different language at home. They are segregated and forced to learn English, while never acknowledging the unique culture they were raised in, and not enabling the other students to learn FROM them. Learning, in school, comes from the books and teachers. We will learn Spanish from a BOOK, not from a Spanish-speaking student; and not until 7th grade.

I have never felt it would be beneficial to stick my 6-yr. old in a room full of other 6-yr. olds. I believe God created a world full of people of all ages and sexes to insure that the younger ones and older ones learn from each other. A few years ago, we were living thousands of miles from any older family members, so I brought my kids (then 5 and 2) to an assisted living facility, so they could interact with the elderly. Staff members told us that many of the older people would wake up every day and ask if we would be visiting soon. We always went on Wednesdays. My daughters learned some old show tunes while one of the men played piano, and the others would sing along. If I didn’t have to chase my 2-yr. old around, I would have had plenty of women ready to share the art of crocheting with me (something I’ve always wanted to learn.) If a friend was too sick to come out of their room during our visit, we would often spend a few minutes in their room. I always let them give the kids whatever cookies they had baked for them, and I ended up cleaning a few of the apartments while we visited, simply because I would have done the same for my own Grandmother. Every room had pictures from my kids posted on their refrigerators. We called this “Visiting the Grandmas and Grandpas” and my daughters both (almost 2 years later) have fond memories of our visits. I’m sure that if we were still visiting there, my unborn child would have a thousand handmade blankets and booties to keep him warm all winter.

I don’t remember any such experiences in my entire School life, although I do remember being a bit afraid of old people if they were too wrinkly or weak looking. I never really knew anyone over 60. I never sped down the hall on someone’s wheelchair lap, squealing as we popped wheelies and screeched around corners. I never got to hear stories about what life was like before indoor plumbing and electricity, from the point of view of a woman with Alzheimer’s, who might believe she was still 5 years old, talking with my daughter as if she were a friend. I never got to help a 90 yr. old woman keep her arm steady while she painted a picture. And I never watched a room full of “grandma’s” waiting for me by the window, because we were 15 minutes late.

On a recent visit to an Art Gallery, we noticed a man walking back and forth, carrying framed artwork from his old pickup truck. I asked my 6 yr. old if she thought he might be the artist. We both agreed that was a possibility, and after a little pep-talk to overcome her stage fright, she approached him and asked. He was the artist, and he was bringing in his work to be evaluated by the curator. We all sat down and he explained some of his techniques and listened to her opinions about which piece she liked best. He told about how he enjoyed art when he was 6 and would “sell” pictures to family and friends. He recounted how he felt while creating a few of the pieces, and how each one has special meaning to him. He even let her know how nervous he was to show them to the curator and how he hoped she found them as interesting as we did. As he was called into the office, a group of thirty-four 3rd graders filed past, ever so quietly, while their teacher explained each piece on the walls. The children were so quiet and well behaved. They didn’t seem to mind moving on from one picture to the next (The problem with homeschoolers is they tend to linger on things they enjoy). They didn’t seem to have any questions or comments (Maybe they’ll discuss that later in class). And they never got a chance to meet the gentleman in the pickup truck.

I hope my kids aren’t missing out on any “socialization.”

CSPI Urges Nationwide Recall of Spykes “Liquid Lunchables”

Group Will ask State Attorneys General to Investigate

WASHINGTON—They come in colorful teeny two-ounce containers and in kid-friendly flavors like Spicy Mango, Hot Melons, Spicy Lime, and Hot Chocolate. But these so-called Spykes aren’t juiceboxes, they’re malt liquor with more than twice the alcohol concentration of beer. And according to the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), they are the latest attempt by Anheuser-Busch to get children interested in alcohol. Today the nonprofit watchdog group is urging the brewer to launch an immediate nationwide recall of Spykes and is calling on state attorneys general to investigate.

“This is a shameful ploy to market malt liquor to the Lunchables set,” said George A. Hacker, director of alcohol policies at CSPI. “Anheuser-Busch is practically begging to be investigated, subpoenaed, sued, or hauled before a Congressional committee to explain this one.”

According to Anheuser-Busch’s spykeme.com web site, Spykes are designed to be consumed on their own, or to add sweetness (and additional alcohol) to beers. The site, which notably has no age-verification system for users, also provides improbable cocktail recipes, like the “Fruit Stand,” which contains a Hot Melons Spykes, Bacardi Limon rum, and beer; as well as teen-friendly accessories like Instant Messaging icons and cell phone ringtones. Spykes cost 75 cents to $1 each.

Spykes are also fortified with caffeine, ginseng, and guarana—ingredients typically associated with energy drinks that are popular with young people. Health officials have expressed concern that caffeinated alcoholic beverages can give young people the impression that they can drink more without becoming intoxicated or that the prospect of driving after drinking might seem safer.

One commenter on the Spyke web site, purportedly a consumer named Erica, wrote, “I can drink these all day, and be ready to go out and party all night.” Keeping such a comment publicly available on the product’s web site is a clear violation of the beer industry’s voluntary marketing code, according to CSPI.

“Anheuser-Busch should immediately pull Spykes off of shelves, apologize to parents, and hope that in the meantime, no young person wraps his or her car around a tree after being Spyked once too often at the prom,” Hacker said.

CSPI also said its own litigation unit has opened up an investigation into Spykes and other similar products, and may consider private litigation if state attorneys general do not act.

“These drinks make the ‘alcopops’ of yesteryear look geriatric by comparison,” Hacker said. “It’s hard to imagine an adult purchasing this beverage, unless they were bringing it for a surprise date with Chris Hansen on Dateline NBC.”

The introduction of Spykes comes on the heels of other Anheuser-Busch marketing efforts that CSPI says are ill-conceived attempts to attract underage drinkers or promote excessive alcohol consumption. Those include Bud.TV, an Internet video site geared to young people; a drinking game called Bud Pong, which was withdrawn after a company spokesperson maintained that players were meant to drink water, and not beer, during the game; and a Bud Light-sponsored shopping cart race in Washington, D.C., called the Idiotarod.

Tooth decay is caused by a deficiency of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients the body needs to build healthy teeth. The two most important minerals teeth need are calcium and phosphate. Unfortunately, for the teeth, other places of the body also need these minerals. So if you’re running short, the minerals will migrate out of your teeth, and bones, and go to more important places, like your heart and other organs.

For optimal tooth health, you need to avoid foods that contribute to decay, and carry minerals out of the body. Some of these foods are:

* Sugar (all forms) which leaches calcium out of the bones.
* White flour (such as bread, crackers, cereals, pastas). White flour has the vitamins and minterals removed to promote shelf life. Fresh flour will go rancid in two weeks, even when refrigerated.
* Pasteurized dairy products (all forms). Heat from pasteurization kills both good and bad bacteria, causes a loss of half the vitamin C, and up to 80% of all other vitamins, including 100% of vitamin B-12. It also changes the structure, causing it to strain the digestive system, and because the digestive-aiding enzymes are destroyed, it can cause allergies or an intolerance.
* Iodized salt, which has had all valuable minerals removed.
* Grains, nuts, and seeds which have not been soaked or sprouted. Processing these grains by high heat destroys digestive enzymes, but leaves phytic acid, which combines with minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron, etc.), blocking their absorption.

“Secondary dentine” which is dentin generated on an as-needed basis, which enamel has been worn away and cavities have begun. This secondary dentine can heal the spot by patching it up or rebuilding the tooth. But this will only occur if the body has enough vitamin D, otherwise it may not generate at all. One study concluded the calcium content of saliva doubled or tripled when enough cod liver oil was present in the diet (cod liver oil contains alot of vitamin D).

Dr. Weston A. Price, who in the 1930’s and ’40’s used a mixture of cod liver oil and butter oil to cure cavities. The short story is, Dr. Price decided to find out the cause of dental decay, and so he travelled the world, visiting the people with the best teeth - primitives. After observing their diet, he discovered primitives consumed at least four times as many water soluble vitamins (calcium and other minerals) and ten times the fat soluble vitamins (vitamins A and D) from animals foods (fish eggs, butter from grass-fed cows) than those with modern (American) diets.

He also found an additional fat soluble vitamin which he called Activator X (scientists now call this the Price Factor). Activator X is similar to vitamins A and D, helping the body to absorb minerals that would otherwise be lost. The good news is, Activator X is not lost through pasteurization, although it disappears in cows fed high amounts of protein or soy.

Not all primitives had perfect teeth - there were also primitives with terrible teeth. Crooked, crowded, decayed. He found these primitives had adopted a modern (American) diet, consisting of sugary breakfast cereals and white flour products. For these, Dr. Price daily fed them a lunch containing a day’s supply of calcium and twice the amount of phosphorus. He began with 1/2 teaspoon high vitamin cod liver oil and 1/2 teaspoon high vitamin butter oil in 4 ounces of tomato (or orange) juice. Then, 1 pint of beef broth stew made with fine cuts of tender meat and lots of vegetables, particularly carrots (or fish chowder or liver, depending on the day); cooked fruit (no artificial sweetener); rolls made from freshly-ground whole wheat, spread with high vitamin butter; 2 glasses raw milk.

They still had their sugary breakfast and otherwise lousy eating habits the rest of the day, and yet he had a 90% success rate of healing their cavities (including one girl with 42 cavities on 24 teeth!). There are photos of the x-rays in Dr. Price’s book, as well as on the web.

Once your teeth start getting sensitive, it’s a clue that you’re losing minerals, and you need to grow some enamel back. Or, if you already have cavities forming, you will need calcium, phosphate, magnesium, and a variety of enzymes to grow enamel back. Taking a multi-vitamin won’t solve this problem, as the RDA’s are the minimum amounts necessary for survival - not optimal health.

Here is a list of foods to consume for healthy teeth:

* Cod Liver Oil and butter oil, taken together
* Raw dairy from grass-fed cows. Butter, kefir, yogurt, cheese, milk.
* Animal proteins, such as eggs, fish, or liver
* Lots of greens and raw (stir-fried or lightly steamed) vegetables
* Soup made from bone broth and containing green vegetables, topped with seaweed.
* Soaked and/or sprouted nuts and grains.
* Sea salt (full of minerals)
* Herbs: lemongrass, lemon balm, red raspberry leaf

If you want to learn more about Weston A. Price, visit http://www.westonaprice.org or purchase his book “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.” Another great book, is “Nourishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon - who is carrying on the work of Dr. Price - containing recipes and food advice for healthy teeth, and health in general.

PARACETAMOL, the drug commonly found in headache tablets, has surpassed hepatitis and alcohol to become the most common cause of liver failure in Australia.

Doctors are being urged to exercise caution when prescribing paracetamol following cases of patients suffering accidental poisoning after taking only the recommended dose of the painkiller, often sold under the brand Panadol.

A report published in The Medical Journal of Australia found people who didn’t eat enough, drank a lot of alcohol or took certain medications were vulnerable to toxic effects from paracetamol.

Elderly people with kidney or heart and lung problems may also be at increased risk.

“Accidental paracetamol poisoning should be suspected in any patient with acute liver failure,'’ the report said.

“Clinicians should be cautious about prescribing regular doses of paracetamol for pain control in malnourished or fasting patients, and need to counsel patients who are regular users of the drug.'’

Healthy people are usually able to metabolise paracetamol, most of which is excreted from the body in urine.

But the drug can accumulate in people with risk factors, rendering even a normal dose toxic.

The Accidental Paracetamol Poisoning report, compiled by experts from Austin Health in Victoria, describes the case of a 45-year-old Australian woman who died from liver failure.

She was taking paracetamol for abdominal pain after having a hysterectomy and suffering complications. Her eating had been poor because of pain, vomiting and treatment.

“The patient … was noted to be displaying odd behaviour,'’ the record states.

“The following morning she became increasingly confused and drowsy.

“She was admitted to the intensive-care unit, where her conscious state deteriorated rapidly and she required intubation.'’

The woman was transferred to a liver transplant unit but died before a donor organ became available.

A post-mortem examination found a toxic level of paracetamol in her body. Hepatitis and alcoholism is another major cause of acute liver failure.

Parents are warned not to give children painkillers unless they have high fever or severe pain.

Dr David Thomas, pediatric spokesman for the Australian Medical Association, said: “Paracetamol and ibuprofen are drugs - they aren’t without risks or side-effects.”

Healthy Chocolate Bars

1 cup softened butter
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup cacao powder
1 T vanilla
1 t sea salt

Combine butter, cream, and agave until well mixed.

Add cacao powder, vanilla, and salt.

Pour into molds and refrigerate until firm.

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and
spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and
Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God’s bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and
Magnums. And Satan said “You want hot fudge with that? And Man said
“Yes!” And Woman said “I’ll have one too with chocolate chips”. And lo,
they gained 10 pounds.

And God created the healthy yogurt that Woman might keep the figure
that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat
and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to
size 14.

So God said “Try my fresh green salad”. And Satan presented Blue
Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened
their belts following the repast.

God then said “I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in
which to cook them”. And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns,
butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed
its own platter. And Man’s cholesterol went through the roof.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming
with potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin
and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep fried them in animal
fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds.

God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose
those extra pounds. And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control
so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman
laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch
jogging suits.

Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and
still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonalds and the $.99 double
Cheeseburger. Then Satan said “You want fries with that?” and Man
replied “Yes, And super size ‘em”. And Satan said “It is good.” And Man and
Woman went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple by-pass surgery. And then Satan
chuckled and created the National Health Service.

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION

After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here’s the
final word on nutrition and health.

1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than
us.

2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks
than us.

4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer
heart attacks than us.

5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer
fewer heart attacks than us.

CONCLUSION:

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what
kills you.
