I'm not saying they are out to get us, just our money. Most EVERY drug on the market has worse/more side effects than the ailement it's suppose to treat. In other Countries they are using procedures and medicines that are curing diseases. The FDA won't allow them here. I wonder why. If you grow a plant that cures herpes, you can't say it cures herpes. You have to pay (last known fee) $1 million to get a license to sell a drug, and another few million to have it tested. If they approve it, THEN and ONLY then can you sell it. Oh, lest I forget about the patents... But it must be called a drug because according to the FDA, only a drug can cure a disease. That is FDA regulation. Look it up in their code. I'm too lazy to rumage through thousands of pages of code to find the right one right now. sorry.
I do not trust the FDA. Yes I take some medicines, but only if I HAVE to. Then again, I have a strong immune system. Partially because I don't take medicine. Hardly ever that is. If you shove your kids full of drugs, their body's immune system will break down, instead of growing stronger, and rely on drugs to fight illness. If you don't take meds while you are sick, your body's white blood cells learn to fight the illness. Yes, when you get to a certain point, you have to give it some help. Don't take a full dose. Take half a dose, skip a day, etc. Of course I'm talking colds, flus, headaches, pain, etc. Nothing serious like CANCER, CRABS, or CRAPOLO.
Yep.Something is way out of whack
Yep.
Personal experience:
When my girl was a freshman (new school, new kids, new everything), a couple of upperclassman football players were hassling her. At first it was verbal raunchy stuff. Then when it moved to one of them touching her hair and saying something horrendously crude, my girl slapped his hand away and pointed at his face saying "If you so much as touch me again, I'll rip your friggen arm off and beat you to death with the bloody end!" (I do not know where that kid gets her mouth).
That night I get a phone call from the principal saying that she's going to get called in to the guidance office the next morning and will get a 3-day out of school suspension...for a death threat. To two football players. If you saw my kid, you'd realize how cartoonish that even sounds...
Well, the phone call was the first I'd even heard of anything.
I had her sit down and tell me what the heck was going on and after she told me the whole thing, it would be a fair statement to say that I was a little ticked. OK, it would be a grand understatement.
Anyhow, I call the principal back and relay the goings on and basically he says in so many words "your kid is the new kid, thus less reputable", even after ADMITTING to me on the phone that these two boys have done this crap before more than once! But he was still going to call them all separately to the office for their stories. W.T.F.??
Bottom line, TweedleDumb and TweedleDumber blamed each other, couldn't get their stories straight, etc. and over the next few days the counselors ended up believing my girl and called me to let me know they were pressing charges for sexual harrassment against the two boys.
*blink* *blink*
After talking to my girl, she said she didn't want anything to do with it, and frankly decided to call it "Over" since a few days had passed with nothing eventful happening.
If you've read this far, God bless you for your patience...hang in there, the money quote is coming...
When I told the guidance people this, they said, "It doesn't matter. We don't need her permission or your permission or even need her name. It's a charge brought by the school, not the student."
So there ya have it.
Yeah, it was definitely culture shock for her to go from K-8 at private school and then jump into mainstream public school.
