FAQ - Children's Health
Here is a website that talks about children and soy milk. If you have concerns, the child's doctor really is the best source to ask on the topic.

I don't take chances on children's or anyone's health. I always consult their doctor or get one.
Why isn't she taking him for routine visits?
Here is the immunization chart for reference.

Children can dehydrate very rapidly and it doesn't take days. He needs to be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. Since she has waited so long in this state, I would bring him to the E.R. He may need I.V. fluids. I don't know. I just know children are never to be treated like adults in regard to their health. Their health can crash fast. You can't play around with them.

Please get her or someone else to take that baby to be seen by a physician. (I should add that not just children, but the elderly also have special needs in regard to health).
Four days of these symptoms is too long!

Oh,believe me when she was talking to me on the phone I told her to take him to the ER, b/c he made need IV fluids. She said "well he's been drinking water, juice, and pedialyte". But, geez that doesn't always work!!! She always puts herself first anyways. She just recently started feeding him jar food,and he'll be two in Aug. She told me one time the reason she wasn't feeding him jar foood was b/c it was messy and took too long!!! What kind of mother don't have time to feed their child???!!! I could go on and on. Good news she is taking him to the doc.

Soy is just really not that great for you. Sure to some it may taste good(I used to love it w/ cereal). If you do some research on it you'll see that it's just not as healthy as it's made out to be.

It depends how much he has it. If it's everyday or everyother then it might be a problem. Maybe 1-2 times a week.
I guess it depends on what you feel comfortable w/. If I were a mother then I just would not let me kids drink it ever. I dont really know much about goat milk.

No one is going to live solely off of soy but incorporating it into your diet, and making sure that your overall diet is well balanced, is fine. |

As I said before, I am not extolling the virtues of soy, just mentioning is as an alternative source of protein. Soy has been consumed for centuries by many Asian cultures, including by the Japanese and they have one of the greatest, if not the greatest, longevity. Your article has some points, but again, it doesn't fully explore the benefits of soy, only the negatives. Try eating anything packaged that doesn't have soy in some form - soybean oil, soy protein, flour, etc. You'd be hard pressed to find soy-free products unless they were marketed for a particular population such as those with soy allergies. The prevalence of soy in our foods is why most packaging has the "This product has been processed in a facility that processes nuts, soy . . . "

This is one I have trouble with. Is there such a thing as organic fish? I mean, organic fish would have to be farmed as well, since the ocean is not a controlled environment and often the water can be polluted as well.
Another thing is that humans are depleting the oceans of fish and crustacean animals due to over-consumption and harmful fishing practices. If we continue as we are doing now, there won't be any fish left in the oceans in 50 years.
If you eat fish, eat farm fish and don't buy exotic fish like Tilapia. We are depleting the oceans and messing with the natural balance of marine life.
Also, make sure that the organic foods you buy are certified organic with the appropriate label. Some brands market their foods by slipping "organic" into the name, but if it's not certified organic by an authorizing body, it's not organic.

My sister works at Whole Foods, so I occasionally get the hook up. She recently got me Almond milk, which was pretty tasty.
Thanks, greentwig, for the links to the Whole Soy Story. It's definently making me rethink my Silk.

SparklingWaves...just an update for you on my nephew. Well, come to find out my sis in law skipped out on taking him to the doctor after she said she was going to take him. Only b/c her husband was at work and couldn't help her (gawd,so lazy). He is fine, thank-god. But, I just cannot stand that she doesn't do things for him, b/c of her selfishness. Yesterday she was eating and hiding from him, b/c he'd want to eat too. I used to feed my daughter before myself!!! Okay sorry, just venting. He's better now though.

I understand what you mean. I'm not trying to say never eating anything ever w/ soy in the ingredients, it's just that know what drinking/eating soy regularly can do (I mean like soy milk everyday type scenario). It is very hard to avoid small amounts of soy altogether because like you said it is processed in a lot of facilities. I just don’t want anyone to have any problems if they are drinking/eating it a lot.

Thanks for the update.
In my opinion, they are taking a huge gamble by not taking that toddler to a doctor when he has been sick for four days. Children need to be seen by a physician when they are sick and for routine check-ups.
If she is withholding food and medical care, child protection needs to be called ASAP.

I think that you are right that in this article, there are some inherent problems with definitions. I mean the whole question of using fungicides on mushrooms would mean that you are killing your own crop. Now it's true that there are different kinds of fungus which a fungicide might target, but it still seems kind of silly to me.
