Is that the moose wood cookbook?

Thank you for such an eloquent explanation! I was very quick to judge the parents at first but my friend who is a medical professional told me that there was so much more to this story and not to judge so I’m trying not to. The dad isn’t aiding my neutrality.

You would think child’s protection would trump parent’s rights. I have friends that are extremely mistrustful of medicine and vaccines and I can’t do anything to convince them otherwise but I also find them in many ways to be amazing parents. My grandfather was an MD additionally trained in Ayurvedic methods. He…

Agreed- I’ve known some amazing naturopaths but I saw one when I was suffering postpartum depression because I was nervous about anti-depressants and nursing. This “doctor” determined that everything I was suffering including my anaphalctic allergy to wasps was because of an imbalance that could be resolved with some…

Would it though? Not disagreeing with you but a large sentence might cause more outrage and defiance. It's not like these anti vaccine people are very logical. Maybe having some preventative measures for alternative medicine practicioners to treat children? I don't know.

Just listened to 911 call- definitely more than just stupidity. It's hard though because I make a dozen parenting mistakes daily so I try hard not to judge (also stories like this are often so sensational) but this is a hard one. I keep hoping that maybe the mom will step up and be a responsible parent to her…

I had an unvaccinated child in my class get one of the childhood diseases while I was pregnant. When I tried to get the child transferred into another class the parents felt I was violating their child’s rights. It was a nightmare!

And the fact that the child was taken away and given back! Somehow they escaped the system by moving provinces

Those are excellent points. I agree with so much of what you say! It really is such an emotional case. I suppose I really want to believe that the parents are both remorseful and are being used at the political mouthpiece for stupidity but I guess only the 2 of them know.

The naturopath is being investigated http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/blog.html…

The dad is terrible but the mother is extremely remorseful (again based on inside information not news) Have you seen some of the situations that occur in foster care? Kids likely getting split up, completly broken system. I not completely disagreeing with you but I just think that this situation is not as cut and dry…

Naturopath is under investigation http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/blog.html…

agreed but from what I heard (again not from news but actual medical staff in case) one of the parents was confused because was told hospital but these might help rather than hospital full stop. I guess it’s what people want to hear. I find the father despicable but I’m wondering if there needs to be stronger protocol…

But should the remaining children lose both parents as a result? I know one of the health care workers who treated this child when he arrived at the hospital and there is loads of ambiguity that is not being discussed by the press. My child gets croup and it is very scary sounding but I know what to do so I don’t seek…

I know a health care worker who had to treat this exact child at the end and some of this is quite sensationalised. The parents are absolutely accountable but they are not bad people and loved there child very much. My biggest question mark lies with the naturopath who told the parents that there child might have…

I was actually okay with an arranged marriage because I am very close to my parents and they know my heart well. I was also biased because despite my parents arranged marriage they are madly in love and super devoted even after almost 50 years. I know that isn’t the norm but it was my experience. However, my prospects…

Refused to sign a contract extending my employment at my old place of business because there was a clause about women wearing low cut blouses. Men were allowed to wear ratty shirts and jeans though because that is professional.

Maybe he’s prepping his system for prison water. Although if he went to jail it would probably be a nice fancy place without tap water. SMH.

What kind of water would he get in prison?

I had twins and one was unlikely to live beyond 5 days. The amount of stress I was under (I also had another child that I couldn’t completely shelter from the situation) was awful. I had one healthy and one stillborn. It is so traumatic (every birthday still has a shadow). I loved both but there was so much suffering…
