Next Month's Meeting
Consumerism
November 2, 7 pm
Do you ever feel elated after making a purchase at the clothing or shoe store?
Have you found yourself to be an impulse buyer - at a garage sale or skimming the chotchkies at the checkout counter - buying something just because it was a "good deal?"
Do you endure or succumb to your kids whining and begging for "THE toy" or even the food they saw on a commercial?
Do you feel like you "have to" spend a certain amount of money on each child for their birthday presents or Christmas?

How do we battle this seemingly endless desire to buy, Buy, BUY?
 
Join Holistic Moms Network on November 2nd for an open discussion on consumerism. 

At November's meeting, we will be collecting food donations for a local food pantry.  Please consider giving to those that are less fortunate by bringing some non-perishable food items.

We meet from 7-9 pm at The Health Doctors, 28379 Davis parkway, Warrenville, www.thehealthdocs.com

I'm a Holistic Mom because: It fits my family's lifestyle and beliefs!

My holistic passions are: attachment parenting, raw foods, homeschooling/unschooling, listening to my intuition

What inspires me about Holistic Moms: Other moms that make me feel normal about being different. Feeling confident that researching our choices (rather than feeling uncomfortable based on what someone else says) leads us to what is best for our family.

Next Month's Meeting
Common Childhood Illnesses our Children are
Vaccinated Against (2-part Meeting)
October 5 & 19, 7 pm
In the wake of the most recent financial settlement to be handed down for a vaccine related injury, we are reminded that the topic of vaccines remains as concerning to parents today as it has for decades. Many parents are experiencing a crisis in confidence with our healthcare system for numerous reasons; and vaccines is at the top of that list.

Why are these illnesses so series? Why are we so afraid of contracting them? What will really happen if we do? Will my child truly suffer dire consequences if he or she contracts one of them?

Let's explore the actual illnesses, and let you decide for yourself the answers to the above questions.

This month we welcome Barry Smeltzer, MPAS, PA-C from True Health Medical Center to a 2-part meeting in which we will explore a disease profile of each of the vaccine illnesses; what they look like, how they present, how they are contracted, risks of the illness, and when to get medical help. We will discuss the vaccine associated with each illness, and finally, a short discussion on the latest vaccine policies and legislation.

Barry Smeltzer is a practitioner at True Health Medical Center, which utilizes a holistic approach to health and wellness.  Headed by Dr. Anju Usman, THMC specializes in allergies, ADD/ADHD, autism, asthma, gastrointestinal disorders and strives to improve the health of the whole family. He is also a parent of four beautiful children and lives with his wife, Linda, and family in Elburn.  http://www.truehealthmedical.com/

The meeting is free and open to the public.  Due to the amount of information we will be covering in these meetings, we will start promptly at 7 pm.

Meet us at The Health Doctors, Inc, 28379 Davis Parkway, Suite 803 in Warrenville, 630-393-2225 www.thehealthdocs.com
