The Debate over Vaccines and Autism
Friends, Welcome To Our Newsletter
| Notes From Me |
Dear Friends!
Have you brought your children to have vaccinations? Based on the
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), childhood immunizations are
responsible for the control of many infectious diseases that were once
common in this country.
These diseases include polio, measles, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping
chough), rubella (German measles), mumps, tetanus, and Haemophilus
influenzae type b (Hib).
However, there are still arguments about the safety of vaccination toward
children. One example is the debate over vaccines and autism, which you can
read from the report below.
For you who are expecting a baby, you’ll find here a short article that
will help you indicate if you’re really pregnant. Don’t forget to go to your
obgyn doctor for better pregnancy treatment!
With love,

The Debate over Vaccines and Autism
There have been many debates over the use of vaccines and autism in
children. Some parents consider that the rising rate of autism is blamed on
vaccines. On the other hand, many health officials insist there’s no
connection between the two.
The use of preservatives in vaccines is believed by many parents as the
cause of autism. According to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
preservatives may be defined as compounds that kill or prevent growth of
microorganisms, particularly bacteria and fungi.
Thimerosal, which contains mercury, has been one of the most widely used
preservatives in vaccines. This is the subject debated.
Being careful about your children’s health is absolutely important. But,
it will be better if you get lots of information about this matter.
Check out the report about the debate and the additional (informative)

First Sign of Pregnancy
by Adwina Jackson
Are you trying hard to get pregnant but have no idea what the first sign
of pregnancy is?
Well, every woman may have different pregnancy signs. Read more to make
sure if you’re really pregnant.
You feel so uneasy for the last few days. Tired, backache, and nausea
have annoyed your activity.
You don’t suspect anything happens until you realize that you have a
missed period. You’re probably pregnant!
Yes, a missed period is the first sign that you might be pregnant!
However, it usually happens to women who have regular menstrual cycle. Do
you have this regular cycle?
To ensure that you’re really pregnant, it’s time for you to do a home
pregnancy test. This test measures the levels of hormone hCG (human
chorionic gonadotropin). This hormone occurs in pregnant women’s blood and
urine around 10 days after the conception.
Of course there are still more signs to indicate your pregnancy:
1. A positive home pregnancy test
2. Morning sickness
3. Swollen breasts
4. Food cravings
5. Darkened areolas
| Things To Do Today |
Vaccination is an act of love. Even though there are debates over
vaccines and autism, still you need to protect your children from many
infectious diseases. Check out again your children’s immunization schedule.
If you miss one, go to your family doctor and catch it up immediately.
Search for immunization schedule and make sure if your children already have
the vaccines.
For women who are planning to get pregnant, it’s best to make a
preliminary blood test. It’s due to some diseases, like toxoplasmosis and
rubella, which might occur before the pregnancy. Certain medication should
be taken if there are diseases in order to save the fetus.
