tonsillectomy in younger children

My doctor has advised me to have my son’s tonsills removed along with
part of his adnoids. He snores and has trouble sleeping at night, he
chokes from his snoring. He also suffers from stuffy nasal passages.
Has anyone had to a similar diagnosis for their son?…

Baby Tooth/Gum Cleanser

I just bought my 12 month old a tube of flouride-free baby tooth and
gum cleanser and a baby toothbrush, to try and get her into the habit
early. So far we are brushing once a day as part of her bedtime
routine. She really enjoys brushing along with mum.

Has anyone else tried this stuff? When should we switch to a pea-drop
size flouride kid-paste on her brush? Also – is once a day enough?

She doesn’t have any refined sugar, but she does eat *alot* of fruit.

Last rites declaration of Ioannes Paulus PP. II (Karol Wojtyla)

"The unforgiveable sins this earth must confront and overcome are
 Nationalism, capitalism, and hoarding.  The idea of every nation
 should be forgot, price should be struck from the commons, and
 princes should be seen for the devils they are.  The sins include
 our church, secret societies, and other religions which make of
 the spirit of God a divide."

Last rites declaration of Ioannes Paulus PP. II (Karol Wojtyla)
2nd April 2005


always hopes to
command and never attains this, for even captains and princes are ever
slaves and dependants; still he ever hopes and ever works to attain this.
Whereas the Carthusian monk makes a vow to be always dependent. So they do
not differ in their perpetual thraldom, in which both of them always exist,
but in the hope, which one always has, and the other never.

540. The hope which Christians have of possessing an infinite good is
mingled with real enjoyment as well as with fear; for it is not as with
those who should hope for a kingdom, of which they, being subjects, would
have nothing; but they hope for holiness, for freedom from injustice, and
they have something of this.

541. None is so happy as a true Christian, nor so reasonable, virtuous, or
amiable.

542. The Christian religion alone makes man altogether lovable and happy. In
honesty, we cannot perhaps be altogether lovable and happy.

543. Preface.–The metaphysical proofs of God are so remote from the
reasoning of men, and so complicated, that they make little impression; and
if they should be of service to some, it would be only during the moment
that they see such demonstration; but an hour afterwards they fear they have
been mistaken.

Quod curiositate cognoverunt superbia amiserunt.91

This is the result of the knowledge of God obtained without Jesus Christ; it
is communion without a mediator with the God whom they have known without a
mediator. Whereas those who have known God by a mediator know their own
wretchedness.

Pediatricans should nbe held liable for vaccine injurys

I had a scientist at Pharma tell me since its the pediatricans who are the
ones injecting thimerosal into newborn infants they should be the ones
liable for the out come. I have to say I agree in a sense that doctors
should KNOW what the hell they are injecting into thier patients!

If your pediatrician were to view the flawless work of Dr. Scheibner and
the supporting publications by the popular medical journals previously
listed, yet continue to insist on vaccinating your child there’s one
question they must answer:  

"Why should I not prosecute you for recklessly endangering my child’s
life?"

Shadding of decay primary teeth

Hi,
I need some advice on whether I should send my 6 years old son to
extract his badly decay front teeth.
His teeth start to decay when he was 4 years old. Now at 6 years old,
four of his front teeth are decay badly.

Some people say that the front decay teeth will not shed naturally and
the permanent teeth will not erupt properly. Is that true?

I also read about, if primary teeth was extract too early, it will
disrupt the teeth spacing and the permanent teeth will not erupt
properly.

Please advice.

Thanks,
Manaboleh.

Fla State Probes Cause of Kidney Failure in 5 Children — Petting Zoos????

State probes what caused kidney failure in 5 children
The urgent investigation focuses on links to petting
zoos at fairs.

 By Robyn Shelton | Sentinel Medical Writer
Posted March 23, 2005

Five children are in critical condition at Orlando
hospitals with kidney failure that may have been caused
by infections they picked up at area petting zoos,
health officials said Tuesday.

A sixth child has been treated and released after
suffering from the same kidney ailment.

The rare condition can be fatal, and doctors said early
symptoms include bloody diarrhea, vomiting, stomach
cramps and decreased urination. While urging parents
not to panic, doctors also said they should be aware of
the unusual spate of infections.

Children have a good chance for a complete recovery if
they get help early.

"It is important for parents to at least draw their
health-care provider’s attention to [the possibility]
that their child’s diarrhea is not just diarrhea —
especially parents who have taken their kids to county
fairs," said Dr. Mehul Dixit, a pediatric nephrologist
who is overseeing the care of four children being
treated at Florida Hospital Orlando.

The infections are the subject of a large-scale
investigation by a team of state and county health
officials who are working urgently to determine how the
youngsters became infected, said Bill Toth with the
Orange County Health Department.

One theory is that they were exposed to trouble-causing
bacteria through the feces of the petting-zoo animals.
As recently as December, a petting zoo in North
Carolina was linked to an outbreak of the kidney
condition that sickened more than 100 children,
according to the North Carolina Department of Health.

But Toth warned that it’s early in the local
investigation, and health officials are not ready to
draw conclusions. They are, however, "leaning" toward
the petting zoos as a possible source of the illnesses,
he said.

The four children at Florida Hospital Orlando visited
zoos at the Central Florida Fair, which ended a 10-day
run in Orlando on March 13. A fifth child at Arnold
Palmer Hospital for Children & Women visited a petting
zoo at the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City,
which also ran March 3-13.

Officials still are checking whether a sixth child, who
was treated and released from Arnold Palmer about four
weeks ago, had any exposure to petting-zoo animals. The
child’s case did not draw attention at the time, but
officials are now interviewing the family to get more
details, said Dr. Jorge Ramirez, a pediatric
nephrologist with Arnold Palmer.

Toth said his department hopes to determine the cause
in the next day or so, especially because there would
be an ongoing danger if the illnesses are connected to
the petting zoos, which move from county to county.

A representative from the Strawberry Festival declined
to comment. But Central Florida Fair manager Charles
Price said late Tuesday that no one had told him that
his fair might be connected to the children’s infections.

Both fairs had one exhibit in common — the Ag-Venture
Farm Tour, which is described on a Web site as an
"interactive farm-animal exhibit" that offers "hands-on
experience milking cows, bottle-feeding calves,
gathering eggs [and] caring for the goats."

No one is singling out Ag-Venture as the source of the
problems, however. Attempts to reach Ag-Venture
officials were unsuccessful Tuesday.

But Price said he would be shocked if the petting-zoo
exhibits were a source of the infections.

"All are inspected by health officials and vets — we
demand that," Price said. "We have hand-washing
stations everywhere. . . . A fair today is not like it
was 15 years ago," he said. "We are under extreme scrutiny."

The potentially dangerous kidney condition — called
hemolytic uremic syndrome or HUS — is a rare
complication arising from an initial infection most
commonly associated with Escherichia coli, a bacterium
found in undercooked beef or contaminated food.

Health officials also have documented E. coli exposures
through the feces of animals, especially young calves,
according to the Web site for the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.

The local cases are confusing, however, because not all
of the children are showing signs of E. coli exposure.

The two children at Arnold Palmer tested positive for
the bacterium. But the four at Florida Hospital have
tested negative so far, Dixit, the pediatric
nephrologist, said.

Toth said the state is running fresh samples through
additional testing to check for E. coli again.
Officials are puzzled because three of the children at
Florida Hospital have tested positive for a different
bacterium — Staphylococcus aureus.

This bacterium can lead to the kidney problem, but it’s
highly unusual.

"That’s where the puzzle in this comes in," Toth said.
"We really have a lot of question marks yet that we
need to deal with."

Dixit said the first sick child came into Florida
Hospital on Friday, and doctors became concerned when a
second child was admitted with the kidney problem on
Sunday. By Tuesday, the hospital had two more cases in
children ranging from 2 to 6 years of age.

One child’s kidney function has deteriorated to the
point of requiring dialysis, and Dixit said the
youngster is also on a ventilator.

Ramirez, the pediatric nephrologist, said the child who
remains at Arnold Palmer also is undergoing dialysis.

In most cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome, Dixit said,
the kidney failure is temporary and the child survives
without complications.

Toth said county health departments and hospitals
statewide have been alerted about the possibility of
the rare kidney infections, and doctors are being asked
to notify officials if they come upon any other cases.

Huntsman Vetoes Ritalin Bill
The Governor vetoed the ritalin bill yesterday. The legislation would have
prevented teachers from recommending psychiatric care about kids to their
parents.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Gov. Jon Huntsman vetoed the so-called Ritalin
bill — a measure that would have forbidden teachers from advising parents
to seek professional counseling or medication for troubled or disruptive
children.

Banning suggesting counseling was what killed this bill.

£85,000 for parents of MMR victim

£85,000 for parents of MMR victim
By Neale Adams

Carol Buxton received £85,000 compensation after it was confirmed that the
brain damage suffered by her daughter Hannah, who later died after a violent
fit, was linked to the MMR jab.

Hannah endured up to 40 fits a day following her vaccination in 1988. She
died three days before her third birthday.

Mrs Buxton and her husband Tony, a police officer, fought for compensation
but were initially turned down by the Vaccine Damage Unit.

In 1992 the Buxtons, who also have three sons, appealed and four months
later received a letter from the unit. It stated: "Hannah Buxton was
disabled as a result of a vaccination to which the claim relates." It said
the reaction to the jab had caused Hannah’s development to deteriorate. The
evidence was uncontested by the Government.

Travel consultant Mrs Buxton said: "The most important thing was someone
confirmed what I had always suspected – the MMR jab had done so much damage
to her brain that she became severely handicapped and started having fits."
