Hello Readers,
Last week while I was researching Reclast for a friend I came across and overwhelming amount of articles that suggest Reclast may increase your risk of Kidney failure. So below I have added a few links for you to read up about this issue. I pray everyday that this blog will help you be more educated and informed to make better choice in regards to your health care decisions. As I started investigating this drug the more my heart hurt so badly. There are alot of side effects to this drug as there are with any drug. This drug just seems to increase as certain toxin in your blood that contributes to kidney failure.. (well according to the reports that I have read) So I have added the links below so that you can see and read for yourself.

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 and the CDC recommend giving this vaccine anywhere from age 9-26 year old females/males. Just below I included an exert from the drug manufacturer's website.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends routine vaccination with GARDASIL for girls ages 11 to 12, and for young women ages 13 through 26 who have not already been vaccinated. The CDC states that GARDASIL can be given to boys and young men ages 9 through 26, if you and the doctor decide it’s right for your son. (I underlined that last line cause it is ultimately up to the parent to make that decision)
The way they administer the drug via injection. GARDASIL is given in 3 doses over 6 months.
So when the doctor and I talked about it. She proceeded to tell me it is a good shot, but there are also over 100 different types of HPV's out there that they know of..
This coming from my daughter's Doctor. You take what you want from that comment. What i would say is here is some info for you on this subject and you chat with your child's Doctor. Make up your mind based on the facts.. That is exactly what I did.
As Always I Love You All
And
God Bless You!!!!!
