There has been no clinical evidence linking vaccinations to a diagnosis of autism. The connection is nothing but hearsay and apocryphal. Vaccinate your children!

Rice Krispies

I really love my Rice Krispies in the morning, but with the size of the box I have found here so far yielding about two bowls, it seems I am constantly shopping for Rice Krispies.
Does anyone know of a market where one can find large boxes or family-size bags of Rice Krispies????

Yes, that' seems to be the nature of the problem. The Allied Health Act has created a board to develop criteria, but I seem to be caught in the interim between development and implementation. I shall just let matters take their course. thanks.

As you stated the Allied Health Act hasn't resulted in estabished criteria developed by health practioners as of yet. thus Ican only imagine t...
