I'm a big fan of seaweed, so I found this article interesting, both the article and the comment connected to it, about mercury and seaweed. This article has had me curious enough to include a blood mercury test as part of my blood work that I need to do this year as part of my employer's benefit plan. Considering that I was fully vaccinated as a child (albeit by a much lighter CDC schedule years ago) I wonder how much mercury I've stocked up in my brain over the years... :)
The video I posted talks about how some individuals in the medical community are avoiding H1N1 and urging their friends and families to do so as well. This is interesting, and a little alarming, in light of what I just heard on the radio the other day with the head of the CDC telling people to get the vaccine. It also sounds as if the testing has been minimal, and per the video children in Oklahoma were used as "guinea pigs" for testing.
What frightens me most is things such as the bill being drafted in Massachusetts which, in light of the potential pandemic, allows health officials to invade homes and detain without warrant, as well as fine individuals who refuse the shot. Granted, that's one state, but I live in Texas, where the governor wants Gardasil vaccine required for ALL girls in the state. It's one thing for the government to recommend a vaccine schedule, and another thing completely to mandate it by law.
So I'll keep my eye on the news regarding swine flu, and pray that this isn't the "epidemic" that the media plays it up to be.
Nutritional Musing is just my collection of thoughts on food, diet, nutrition and exercise. Of course it's just my own opinions posted here and should not be used to replace the council of your primary medical provider (assuming, of course, your primary doctor is one who teaches health through diet and nutrition, and not through pharmaceutical addiction.)
