VICKS VAPOUR RUB.....like so many things that catch the attention of the media, it gets twisted turned and contorted. Mistake or Marketing? I believe the real message is everything in balance. It is sad that we have more information than ever....googol bytes of it....but less common sense. To communicate with this new era we must talk in absolutes to avoid the legal fallout. NEVER, EVER use as undirected. "There now we are safe from the lucre loving legal beagles and have strapped on our Titanium Butt Covers against any frivolous law suit." Babies feedback loop is diminished when they can't communicate easily with us shoving things up their nose. If we put too much where it it can be inhaled yes of course any oil based ingredient will reek havoc with respiration. We as adults know when we have over done the process and can react and remove the excess without inhaling it. A saline solution works well too...but spray enough up a nostril and you drown. ITS ALL ABOUT BALANCE... not just a hyped up news story passed around so many times it takes on reality... and the merchants of fear have succeeded once again. Don't self prescribe. See your professional. See your doctor. See your Pharmacist. What would you know? You are just a MOTHER. (It is such a great thing that everyone one of us has a mother and that no matter our status in life we can afford a mother...not always a doctor....and I believe that is exactly why we still manage to survive despite all stories to the contrary.) Don't pass on silly old wives tales that will hurt your child. See a doctor who can set you straight. Help them set up a life time pension plan with your drug habit. Let them set you on a path to the pharmacy and iatrogenesis (which kills 700,000 in N. America each year!!) That kind of thinking is what has dropped us into this new economy. It is time we started thinking for ourselves. Using our innate common-sense. Trusting in our innate intelligence instead of worshiping the Gods in Green at the alter of excess and get our lives back on track. IF 'GOD IS LOVE' and there is no greater love than that of a MOTHER. Then MOTHER must be GOD? Hats off to all the mothers, who against all odds, trust themselves, their intuition and their God given common sense to raise wonderful children. Who are not prone to razing the planet....BRAVO!! Obama said it well: "...all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness" (Not just the money mongers.)
