The National Coalition of Organized Women (NCOW) estimates that the 2009/2010 N1N1 flu vaccine has caused up to 3,578 miscarriages and stillbirths. This information was released after analyzing statistics from two different reporting sources.
In a speech earlier this month, NCOW Director, Eileen Dannemann, stated, “We strongly recommend that the CDC withdraws their continued recommendation to pregnant women, instead, strictly adhering to the FDA/manufacturers warning on the insert packages that the flu shot not be given to pregnant women unless clearly needed.” She also suggested, “that the CDC advise all Ob/Gyns, vaccine providers and the public this year of last season’s reports on H1N1 vaccine-related fetal deaths.”
If you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant, please research and consider the potential side effects of the flu shot for yourself and your baby.

The Best-And Least Expensive-Weight Loss Program
Have you been swamped with people talking about the latest weight loss program? They usually tell you about “meal replacement” powders that you drink for breakfast and lunch. I have even heard these multi-level-marketing sales reps call themselves “Certified Health Coaches”.
Over the years, there have been many of these types of companies. They make huge profits from people looking for a quick-fix and instant weight loss. And, many of their customers have lost weight while on these types of program; at least until they go off the program and gain it all (and more) back.
There is a better alternative. And it’s much less expensive. It’s called ‘eat more salad and get outside!’
The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you eat. So ideally, it takes consuming less calories and burning more than you do now.
Instead of paying for expensive powders, start by replacing one meal each day with fresh fruits and vegetables (raw if possible). Then, work on eating less fried food and less foods made up of empty carbs (white bread, white rice, chips, candy, etc.).
To burn more calories, get outside! Buy a bicycle and go for a ride or just get out and take a walk. Go at your pace and work up to a faster pace or longer distances. Invite your spouse, friend or kids to go with you and get in some quality time; not to mention the fresh air!
You don’t have to change all of your eating and exercise habits over night. Making small healthier choices every day really ads up! Plus, over time this becomes a lifestyle change. Not only do you loose weight, your body becomes healthier and you get more out of life.
