I know what some of you are thinking (scammer), but this is not the case.

I need to give her advice about what she needs to do (and NOT do) while she is pregnant. From personal experience, the doctors there will not tell her what she needs to know. She has been to the local health center and they said she needs "vitamins", but the vitamins they will recommend you can bet are virtually ineffective. The Philippines has a LOT of useless "vitamins" and similar stuff, praying on the people who have no knowledge of medicine, etc. (The biggest-selling product is an herbal remedy that cures everything from diabetes to enlarged heart!)

I need to know what is NECESSARY for her and her babies (twins…) and what else would be good, but not totally necessary.

She is constantly dizzy and experiences nausea and vomitting. She is also very depressed because her family and friends have abandoned her. I am literally her only friend now.

For example, what should she eat? I believe she needs to take iron tablets (I’m sure she is getting no iron in her diet). Are there any other supplements that she NEEDS? Any that would be extremely useful? We need to figure out the cheapest way to get her exactly what she needs.

What other considerations about health should she be thinking about?

Thank you!
Robin – Yes, the Philippines does have some excellent health care–if you can afford it. The doctors she can see are the "cheap" variety and I had a TON of issues when I was there, even with some of the "good" doctors. But I won’t get into that now. Almost NONE of the population can afford the better doctors anyway.

She is between four and five months along. I am sorry to say that the area has no mission hospitals.

Thank you for this advice. As she has not money, some of it will be very difficult. Her birthday is coming up and I will send her some money to help with these things.

5. The fact that the study subjects were healthier. WOW, you think that was proof of a flawed study? I put "Vitamin D disease prevention" in my search engine and got over 8,000,000 hits. Pub Med returned 1392 records.
6. A UCSD video on You Tube describes this study.

1.Identify points in common between the two essays, and organize your paper around those subtopics.

2.For each subtopic, paraphrase each author’s perspective, presenting the reasoning or evidence the author uses. Note: this is not a comparison-contrast essay; a synthesis differs in that instead of presenting all of one side before moving on to the next, you look at each subtopic in turn, moving between each author’s view several times. For example, the body of your paper will look something like this:

Subtopic 1: Author A’s view and how it relates to Author B’s view

Subtopic 2: Author A’s view and how it relates to Author B’s view

Subtopic 3: Author A’s view and how it relates to Author B’s view
These are the two articles:
YES Vegetarian diets reduce total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides. Atherosclerosis can begin early in life, as we learned from autopsies done on Korean War soldiers.

Today atherosclerotic plaque is beginning in children and is especially pronounced in African American girls, probably due to poor diet and lack of exercise. Raising children as vegetarians delays the onset of this process.

Vegetarian children tend to be thinner than meat eaters, a healthy trend in a country where overweight and inactivity have become the No. 1 public-health problem, leading to Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and stroke in middle age.

Some argue that vegetarian children will be calorie-deprived. But malnutrition only occurs where access to food is also limited. There’s little evidence that growth is retarded in vegetarian children in developed countries.

Similarly, some argue that vegetarian children born to vegan mothers, who eat no animal products at all, will get insufficient vitamin B12.

But B12 deficiency in vegans is no higher than in the general population, suggesting there may be sources of B12 other than meat. It may be seeping into soils from organic fertilizer that’s often used on organic farms, the source of produce for many vegans.

In any case, B12 is easy to provide as a supplement.

Iron deficiency from a vegetarian diet? Our definition of anemia is probably far too stringent. There’s mounting evidence that levels of iron considered normal in the U.S. may contribute to the development of atherosclerosis.

Starting children on vegetarian diets early will increase the chance that they’ll continue to eat little meat when they are adults, which means they’re likely to be healthier than meat-eating counterparts.
NO Children are picky eaters. They need options, and it’s much easier to obtain balance from an omnivorous diet. Moreover, children need a higher ratio of nutrients to calories than adults.

Broccoli’s a fine source of calcium, but you’re not going to get a kid to eat a pound a day, which would be necessary due to low bioavailability. It’s also hard to get sufficient iron, zinc, and vitamins A, D, and B12 from vegetables.

Women who shun red meat are likely to be deficient in zinc. One would assume the same to be true for children. Zinc is necessary for growth, immune function, and normal sexual development, and is a cofactor in a variety of enzymes.

A number of studies, mostly in animals, suggest that children whose diets exclude elements such as cholesterol and certain fats will grow up unable to induce sufficient enzymes to handle those foods. Breast milk, the optimal food for infants and toddlers, is high in fats and cholesterol. Where’s the logic in weaning a child of 1 or 2 from breast milk to a low-fat vegetarian diet?

At least two published reports document failure to thrive in children who have been weaned onto a “low-risk” diet. These involve several dozen children of upper-middle-class suburbanites, who stopped growing at age 2 or 3.

Recently, it was discovered that conjugated linoleic acid, found in meat and dairy, seems to reduce body fat, lower cholesterol, and inhibit cancer in a variety of animals. I don’t advocate eating red meat daily, and servings should shrink to the size of a deck of cards. But just because we consume too much doesn’t mean we should run to the other extreme.

Vegetarians are likely to be poorly informed about nutrition. They’d benefit from a referral to a registered dietitian.
