I've been quiet lately...

I am patiently, lovingly... okay, grumpily trying to get through the dog days of early pregnancy nausea. It's good to try and keep focus on what I'm doing and why I feel like this. Sometimes pictures like this one will help ...

The Catholic Vote

I've heard recently that the Catholic vote could make or break this election. If Catholics voted true to their faith, they would not be voting for Obama. Nothing comes before innocent human life. I'm speaking of the pre-born babies here. I'll get back to this later.

I also want to point something out that I keep hearing arguments on. I hear arguments for the innocent lives being lost in the war and that we need to end this war and that's what's important. I understand that there is a war going on and those soldier's lives are very important too - I'm not saying they are not. BUT, there is a difference between a soldier and a pre-born baby. Those soldiers have a choice. They chose to place their lives in harms way to protect their country. This is such an honorable thing to do. Praise God we have true American heroes who are willing to sacrifice their lives for this country and all it stands for. I'll be the first to thank them. But, that is not in the same league as a baby who has "0" choice in the matter of life or death. Unfortunately, these babies lives are sacrificed for their own parents' selfish reasons. Nothing they had a had a choice in.

Back to Catholics who need to be true to their faith. Morally, a Cathlic can not vote for someone who thinks that murdering an innocent baby is a choice. Are you kidding me? It is incredibly obsurd. Let me see... what was that commandment from God again? Oh yeah... it is number five (or number six for the Protestants), "you shall not kill". Mark my words, if we continue on this route, it will soon be a choice as to whether or not we should keep our aged parents alive due to "quality of life". It's coming. If we have no respect for the life of a little child, how can we have respect for the life of an old, very dependant human? It all boils down to sanctity of human life. The sanctity of human life is the root of all things. Once we have that respect, everything else will naturally fall into place. The domino effect. Voting for life is a Catholic's moral obligation. Peace be with you.

Investigate Before You Vaccinate

Did You Know?

• In a natural dose of childhood illness germs make initial contact with the immune system in the mucous membranes of the nose and throat. When the vaccine is injected directly into the body the immune response is different to that of a natural infection and results at best in waning artificial immunity.




• Breast milk is the best immune stimulator for your baby during the first year of life, and helps protect against infections, diabetes and some cancers.




• A high level of antibodies in the blood indicates exposure has occurred but does not signify immunity. A clinical episode of a childhood illness can create lifelong immunity without creating antibodies.




• Vaccines contain preservatives, other viruses, mercury, aluminium, formaldehyde and detectable particles from animal cells and serum.




• The polio vaccine is cultured on the kidneys of monkeys and the cells of aborted foetuses. The rubella, chickenpox and hepatitis A vaccines are cultured on the cells of aborted foetuses.




• The tuberculosis, whooping cough and diphtheria vaccines were introduced after these diseases had declined up to 90%. Scarlet fever declined with no vaccine being introduced.




• In the 1990/91 outbreak of whooping cough, 63% of the children with whooping cough in the Wellington area who were old enough to be, were "fully" vaccinated.




• The BCG vaccine is given mainly to Maori and Polynesian infants within a few days of birth, even though studies, including one undertaken by the World Health Organisation, show that people who are vaccinated with the BCG are more likely to get TB than those that are not.




• In the 1991 USA measles outbreak, over half the deaths were vaccinated, and most deaths were in "immunocompromised" people.




• In the 1994 Australian measles outbreak, three of the four deaths were vaccinated.




• There are over 35 organisations worldwide similar to The Immunisation Awareness Society.

I can not stress how important it is to research the facts about vaccines before you choose to vaccinate your child(ren). The truth is out there...you just have to really look at the facts. Keep your mind open to both sides and make an edcated decision. Don't just vaccinate because your doctor says you have to.

The flu vaccine for instance, still contains a Mercury based preservative called Thimerosal as well as Aluminum. Both Aluminum and Mercury are extremely toxic. Just do research on those particular substances and you'll learn a lot! Instead of getting a flu shot, you would be better off eating healthy (real) foods and taking your vitamins to boost your immune system. Aoid sugar and high carbohydrate pre-packed foods. These will lower your immune system and make it harder for your body to fight off the germs you are exposed to.

Happy healthy eating!
