If I were to have children now, here in the US, I would be very afraid of how I could raise them without them being forced to be exposed to not just the now-acceptable amount of violence in TV and movies, but also the overwhelming number of mandatory vaccines and the onslaught of pollution in our food air and water supplies.

As a person who *has* lupus, and is constantly bombarded with people’s theories and ridiculous ideas about why I’m sick (it scares people to know these “things” are out there, so they make up quick rationaliztions and judgments so they can psychologically protect themselves from the fact that it’s likely a serious illness will befall them or someone they know if they live in an industrialized nation), I am tired of everyone blaming autoimmune diseases on genetics. that is as preposterous as blaming Rickets on being vegan.

autoimmune diseases have tripled in the last 3 decades. in industrialized nations only. it is lifestyle that is triggering these things. toxic overload. i’ve found i can greatly improve my odds of doing well and surviving longer than expected by detoxing and eating naturally, but i can’t yet seem to shake the lupus completely now that it’s out of the bag.

anyhow if i had kids and wanted to be vegan, i would be totally secretive about it, because of this ridiculous ignorant attitude about it.

Vitamin D levels are related to the pH of the body. Cary Reams, a biophysicist, noted that an alkaline urine would indicate more vitamin D and an acid urine would indicate more vitamin C. The pH reading of the saliva would give more information also. 6.4 would be regarded as neutral for the urine and saliva. For some test strips an adjustment has to be made when measuring body fluids.

This link shows that children in the UK were removed from their parents with an accusation of abuse relating to bone fractures. Doctors later discovered that the child had scurvey due to a soy baby milk formula prescribed by the doctor. Soy formula is generally fortified with vitamin D. This indicates a lack of balance somehow between vitamins D and C.

There is also research on blood type and diet. For example, Type A tends toward vegatables whereas Type O tends toward meat. Something like this would explain differences in the effects of diet.

Another factor to consider is steroid medications. Some time back I did extensive research on prednisone and other steroid medications, which can cause bone loss leading to a need for hip replacement. Using prednisone for one week can cause this in some people.

In previous years oral prednisone was given for asthma in children, but this caused bone loss, That is why these steroid medications now are given using inhalers, etc. Over-the-counter steroid creams like hydrocortisone can be very dangerous. They should not be used freely with children, for poison ivy for example.

All this is documented on the FDA website. Bone doctors and osteopedic associations report patterns of problems. These meds cause “necrosis” or bone death because of reverse osmosis. Astronauts experience this phenomenon,

The names change as you go along. These steroid-induced diseases are called such things as “corticosteroid-induced-osteoporosus.” Fosamax bone replacement medicine is used to replace bone loss in people who have experienced osteoporosis due to steroid medications. These steroids are used for things such as Lupus, MS, etc.

Sometimes you will see medications advertised as “non-steroidal.” This shows that medicines have been developed as a result of side-effects of steroid medications.
