My son takes 3 prescription meds and I take 2. I've always been of the mindset that any medication has a touch of poison. Not that we shouldn't take them when needed, but we should know as much about what we're putting into our bodies as possible.
As for my son... it was a huge decision to medicate him for anxiety, and to be quite honest we've seen little overall benefit.We see his doctor again this month. I have no clue what she'll suggest next.
I'm on a site now called unsafedrugs.com looking for the medications my son and I take. I haven't found any of our medications on this unsafe list. However, I did find Tylenol. I sometimes forget that even an over-the-counter medication can cause organ damage if used excessively.
Thank you for following The Homeschooling Blog!

I'm not sure if you are aware, but birth control pills cause abortion. It's not hype or misrepresentation. It's just true. If you read the fine print, it says right on them that they can cause abortion in the case of breakthrough ovulation.
Birth Control Pills work THREE ways to "prevent" pregnancy, though one of those ways is aborting an implanted fertilized egg. One - they prevent ovulation, two - they make the uterus lining weak so that if you DO have breakthrough ovulation (it SO happens) the egg can't implant, an three - if you have breakthrough ovulation AND the egg implants, then your uterus flushes it out and aborts it. :( Super sad. So true. Something every pro-life person should be aware of. I think your hesitation and pondering about birth control are probably an inkling from the Holy Spirit. It's not good. It's so not good.

Christie,
That's another reason I was turned off by the idea of taking "the pill". I didn't touch on this given the nature of the discussion it could have ignited. I've lost 6 children to miscarriage and would have rather gone through that pain, knowing it wasn't my doing that took them to be with the Lord early, than to have wondered how many lives I might have been responsible for snuffing out before their time. I say this in love to anyone who has used "the pill"... not here to judge anyone. It just wasn't the right choice for me, given my personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Blessings!
