Hi All!
As you know my two year old grandson, Grayson had a brain tumor removed in October. My son asked the doctor what caused the tumor. The doctor replied, "bad luck." Now my son and his wife are believers in The Living God and they do not believe in luck. so they started questioning themselves what they could have done differently with Grayson than with his two older brothers. She nursed the two older ones until she had to go back to work and then put them on a combination of her own milk mixed with formula. Then she eventually put them on 100% formula.
When Grayson was born he couldn't hold down the mother's milk, he had reflux pretty badly. So the dr. told them to put him on formula. He threw that up the same as the mother's milk.So the dr. recommended soy formula. He drank that until he was about nine or ten months old. My son started doing research on soy formula and found there is a link to brain cancer and tumors and brain damage, plus a number of other health issues!
If that isn't enough they met three little ones while at children's hospital, two babies and a three year old all with brain cancer. My son and daughter in law began asking the parents what kind of formula their children had been on...all three? The exact same soy formula- brand name and all -that Grayson had been on as a baby!! Some may say that is just a coincidence, I don't know. I don't have any way of knowing whether that has anything to do with Grayson's tumor, but if there is a question at all in the minds of parents they should try an alternative to soy formula. I just know the anguish that we went through with Grayson and what those poor families dealing with the cancer are going through and will be going through for God only knows how long. We were dumbfounded when we learned that those other precious children had been on soy-based formula, too.
I just wanted to bring this up for informational purposes. Just be informed. Moderators if this is an improper thing to post on the forum please feel free to remove it or caution me about it. Children and grandchildren are our blessings from God and we need to protect them! We serve an awesome God who gives us blessings beyond compare!
