Lydia,
I am ashamed to admit: I just found that portion of the information last month, and although Lovey Girl has had one vac since then, I forgot to ask if it had aborted cells in it. Next time, I’ll be more on the ball. A friend in the area said they asked at the health dept, and it just happened that all the brands available were the “clean” brands, so that was encouraging news.
Welcome to KS! Sorry I’m sucking you in…the Internet is sure like that, isn’t it? Katie

I am SO with you on this. In fact, I just got my son started with his vaccinations today and he is 14 mo. old. I find it sad that so many people just do things because it is the accepted thing to do and they don’t question it or research it at all.

Don’t know if you feel comfortable answering this or not, but I am curious if you found it easy to find the ethical vaccines for your child. I think I’m going to have a few hurdles to jump over to get them for my son.

Just discovered your blog and am “wasting” lots of time reading it. Looking forward to learning more!!

Mama Bear,
Your comment made me giggle tonight! My husband is an engineer, too (computer), and we actually sat by that campfire discussing how many forms of energy there are, through the lenses of physics and chemistry.

We actually have an ice cream ball, so you put ice in one side and it surrounds a can/tube of ice cream mix (milk, cream, sugar, vanilla) that you pour in the other side. Add rock salt to the ice and roll around for 10 minutes, and you’ve got soft serve ice cream! We should have planned to do it the first day, but it was so cold, and we were lucky that it was so we had ice enough left in the cooler the second night.

The campsite is a national forest near Ludington, about 1/3-1/2 of the way up the state on Lk Michigan.

Fun questions! Katie

Does anyone else discuss the things they read on a blog with their husbands? I was telling Honey Bear about the camping trip I read about on your blog. Well, naturally he asked questions. He’s an engineer. He always wants to analyse things. So, he wanted to know where you were camping. Hmm, I couldn’t remember if I read that. So, I went to kelli’s place to try and find the link to the post I’d read. It wasn’t there. Or if it was, I couldn’t find it. Finally, today, I had the bright idea to just type in camping trip and the website popped up. Now, Honey Bear knows you were camping in Michigan and beside Lake Michigan. His company has a plant in Coldwater so he is talking to people there every week. He knew it had been chilly. He was impressed with the ice cream by the campfire, wanted to know how you did that. Did you have electricity? I didn’t think so. So was it a crank freezer and did you trek in the ice?
So happy to have found you again so I could answer his questions.

The first thing I know is that it hasn’t had long-term tests, right? That alone scares me. The fact that there’s so much hype and scare tactics by the government gives me pause. Beyond that, I honestly haven’t looked into it yet. I can’t decide if that’s irresponsible, or just that I don’t want to waste my time researching something that I’m already too skeptical of to go for. My m-i-l had heart surgery this summer, so we may have to vax the kids for her sake. ?? Or just start taking cod liver oil… Anyone else have any insight?

You are doing a really great job on your blog mixing health food and green connections. You tags, widgets and creative commons licensing are nice to see. I post environmental stories and food links at GreenSudbury.ca and find that your approach is very informative. Keep up the good work

Ooh, good question . . . and I’m curious to hear what you have to say, Katie! Since my little one doesn’t go to daycare and our outings are limited to Walmart a couple of times a month, I’m leaning toward a LOT of good hand washing and no vax.

Great post! We approach this the same way and love that Dr. Sears book! What do you know about the H1N1 vaccine?

Annie,

It is a complicated issue, to be sure. Glad you found some items of interest here at KS! Welcome! Katie
