I never immunized my son, or my daughter. You can PM me if you'd like the long, drawn out explanation; but in short, my daughter had a near-tragic health crisis that resulted from her immunizations when she was just a tiny newborn, so I will NEVER immunize my kids! I have no idea what causes autism. I had to have shots when I was pregnant with my son - progesterone the whole first trimester, since I was bleeding and cramping so bad (helped my body to sustain the pregnancy), and Rhogam shots because I am blood type A-. They gave me the progesterone shots because I had a miscarriage two years earlier (still hurts too bad to talk about it), and I had bleeding and cramping then, too. And I was put on a Terbutaline pump from months 6 to 8 of my pregnancy due to uncontrollable contractions. And bedrest, of course. Even then, I was still having some 12 to 15 contractions an hour at times. My son was born early the next morning after my Dr. said it was OK to take my pump out. I was just eight months along. I have no clue if any of those shots or drugs contributed to his autism; but without them, he would not be here today, and I would do it all over again if I had to. BTW, I was caffeine and alcohol-free for a year before I conceived him; and I had been on a multi-vitamin and folic acid for a year before conception, too. And I NEVER took pain killers unless I had a roaring migraine (very rare), or my cramps got totally unbearable (like one day out of the month). So I was in pretty good shape. There's only one person who knows why my son got autism; and I'll ask Him that question when I die!

I'm sorry you didn't grow this past month. But your tingles are positive! You know, since I was nearly out of my SBT oil, I had cut my dosage to only 2 pills a day since last Friday to spread it out until my new shipment came in. Well, I still had some good pains early on Saturday; then they tapered off to pretty much nothing! *crying* Just a slight twinge here and there. My shipment finally came in yesterday, so I got my 4 pills in yesterday, and will continue 4 pills every day again. It will be VERY interesting to see if my pains come back in a couple days. As I recall, I think I was on SBT about 5 days when the pains started; and it was CONSTANT until I had to cut back to 2 pills a day. If my pains DO come back, then I would have to undeniably state that it's the SBT at work! Of course I'm still on BB, but I have been on that non-stop this whole time. The only differing factor has been the SBT.

I think it's a good idea for you to give SBT a try without BB, if you are patient enough to do that! Going by my experience, you should notice something within two weeks, if the SBT will work. If not, you may want to start BB again. Are you taking any flax seed oil for your omega 3, 6, and 9? Maybe all those omega's working together is what does it, I don't know. In addition to the Spirulina, I'm also taking vitamin E every day, too. I'm looking to add some vitamin C as well.

I hope you'll be feeling those awful, achy, uncomfortable pains really soon, too!!!
