My wife & I did the Bradly method 8 years ago. Reason? Drugs are bad, M.D.s are part of the wacky establishment thinking ( we did the mid wife thing), my wife is a trooper (doesn't want the panzy route to anything), and we are free citizens in the USA!
My church members also gave us the unthinking party line about all of the above and then some. I also screwed up and got a vasectomy ...Bad mistake! Had it reversed 3 years ago.
We homeschool, don't eat chemical filled foods, live a slow paced life and enjoy God's creation.
Cordially,
Well, Zardor, you are a paragon...but, if you had to have an appendectomy, or a compound fracture surgically fixed...would you 'go it' without pain management? Or, maybe even do it yourself. Would you refuse antibiotics if you had septicemia? Or would you opt for herbal teas, or somesuch? If a woman cannot deliver normally....would you have her forego a caesarian?
All this getting back to the natural way is wonderful, but I wonder if you draw the line somewhere? I try to keep my land chemical free...but I worm my animals and get them preventative immunizations.
I do think the american mind set is to eager to look to a 'prescription' for the answer to everything under the sun...but how far does the 'natural way' go?
*hugs to you and my hat is off!*
I'm a homeschooling, formerly breastfeeding (2 years 8 months) momma of twins. Unfortunately I had to have a c-section for a myriad of reasons, but my intent had been natural.
We also do the whole foods kind of thing. One twin is preservative sensitive. *shrugs* Live and learn and all that stuff. She goes from sweet and nice to ADD/ADHD demon spawn from hell when she gets certain preservatives.
Anyhow . . . we're out here. Just gotta find us :)
