Do You Trust Meds or Not?????

I'm on several email lists about autism. One link in all of them - their children were all poisoned by vaccines. The few of us that don't believe this learn very early to keep our mouths shut less you wake the lion and get your butt flamed. But just this morning I read a post about someone having problems getting a child to sleep through the night. Benedryl was first suggested then more and more drugs. It occurred to me that if you believe your child was poisoned why in God's name would you be putting more medication (made by the evil drug company) into a child and for no more purpose than your own comfort.

Now, don't get me wrong - I don't have one problem helping a child to sleep in a responsible way if only for your own personal sanity. BUT - I don't preach to all who will hear how my kid was poisoned and that my child "died in front of my very eyes". A quote that I SO hurt for people who really do loose a child never hear.

Not to mention that fact that a lot of these same people use meds to keep their child in check. So vaccines are bad and meds are good? Doesn't make good sense does it? I don't know - I don't have all the answers but I DO believe that just as no child with autism is the same - neither is the cause and to take matters to the legal system creates another problem all together.

Just a little food or drugs for thought.
