Vaccine Truth

By Christina England | November 1st, 2011 |

[vaccines-sexually-transmitted-disease] Recently, there has been a vast amount of media coverage exposing many leading stores sexualizing children through the marketing of inappropriate clothing. Mini skirts, crop tops, and sexy under-wear for primary school children, even high heels for toddlers fill the shelves, leaving parents shocked and outraged.

One little girl Suri Cruise, the daughter of Tom Cruise, is often seen teetering around in high heels whilst wearing bright red lip gloss at the tender age of five. In fact this very young child even has her own ‘fashion blog’, showing interested readers her vast array of tiny high heels whilst sharing her latest fashion tips.

[Stir photo] When it comes to teens and reproductive health, the official government stance has always been one of willful ignorance: “Teens doing what? Preposterous!Run along now and have a lollipop, that’s a good girl.”

Which is why I find the sudden federal push behind the HPV vaccine Gardasil rather suspect. (Briefly, in case you were in a coma until 5 minutes ago, Gardasil protects against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus, which is a leading cause of cervical cancer.) First there was the big campaign to make the vaccine mandatory for girls, an initiative that ticked off the GOP in a huge way (for all the wrong reasons, unfortunately).

Exposure to TV shows and other media depicting sex could lead to sexual precocity in children, a doctor warned, suggesting parents protect their young children from such material.

In a study of 5,000 children conducted over 10 years, Dr. Hou Chia-wei of Cathay General Hospital in Taipei found that most cases of sexual precocity were related to obesity and one fifth of sexually precocious children had long been exposed to TV shows with sexual content.

The question

Is it possible that my tween daughter is experiencing the hormonal cycle of menstruation, without actually menstruating? Her mood swings have escalated, and it seems, sometimes, the extreme grouchiness can only be attributed to hormones.
