this is pure propaganda, and most likely funded by Big Pharma.

You know, home remedies were the norm back in my grandmother's day...it was common knowledge that slippery elm soothed your sore throat, or that willow bark tea eased pain.

It is alarmist to say that people are causing their kids to be in 'danger' because we use these remedies. It is a first line of defense, if it doesn't work or they get worse, I take them to the doctor for traditional antibiotoc therapy. In most cases, the kids OWN IMMUNE SYSTEM does it's job and they are fine before I can cave and take them to the doctor. Rest, fluids, vitamins, etc...all the things that the 'doctor' reccomends.... and it works, go figure!

FWIW, there are plenty of times i have taken the kids to the doctor only to have him tell me it is a virus and will have to 'work itself out' anyway...
Or, we can use my sister as an example. She has fed her kids anti-biotics for everything under the sun, and not only have they become resistant and constantly need stronger drugs...but their OWN immunity is compromised as well.

common sense has become a rare commodity in this country, it seems.
