Gardasil

Good Day Readers, After a doctors appointment for my daughters regular vaccines. I sat down and had a chat with the doctor about the Gardasil shot. Most doctors would like for you to immunize your girls with this new injection. It supposedly will protect against HPV ( human papillomavirus). So first let me tell you alittle about this drug. This injection only helps protect against 4 types of HPV's. It protects against types 6, 11, 16 and 18. HPV Types 6 and 11 cause about 90% of genital warts cases in females and males. HPV Types 16 and 18 cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases in females. HPV Types 16 and 18 also cause about 70% of vaginal cancer cases and up to 50% of vulvar cancer cases in females. Gardasil is suggested to be given to children before they have encountered sexually activity, however if on is already sexually active you can still get immunized.. Gardasil is not only a vaccine for females it is also for males too. Doctors...

I use to be sad cause I lost my sister/my best friend but I am not anymore. This blog has been nothing but a Journey that started the day my sister died up till now and is still going. I know deep in my heart that God has been showing me and still is showing me how to use my loses/experiences to help others. My sister dying is not about me or my sister it is about others who need to be reached with this information. He is showing me how to use those loses and experiences everyday. God has given me the courage, strength and ability to do this. It is only beacuse of God that this blog is where it is today. I am very blessed, thankful and honored to be able to be used by God. Even if it comes from a painful event in my life. As always love you all and God Bless you!!!!

Septra, Bactrim, Septrin, Sulfatrim (co-trimoxazole, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim

Hello Blog Readers, Today after talking to a friend about a regularly used antibiotic it made me wonder. Could a common antibiotic used to treat bad infections in ones body cause Serious deadily side effects other than the usual allergic reactions. So I began my research which ended up being a day long journey. I found some interesting articles on the net that one may want to read if taking this type of antibiotic. As always this blog is mainly informational. I am not say to or not to take this medication. I am saying to educated yourself to the potiential side effects and make your own decision based on the facts. Below is a link to an article in Europe about the above drugs listed. It is a lot of info but may be helpful. My next post will be info in regards to the side effect that this drug may cause. http://briandeer.com/bactrim-septra.htm As always thank you for reading my blog. I love you all God BlessYou!!!
