Childhood Immunizations

"I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education."

-- Thomas Jefferson

To Vaccinate or not to Vaccinate.........

This is somewhat of a *hot* topic so the only thing I ask is that you read the WHOLE thing before going "She's NUTS" :0)

I have went back and forth on this issue for yeaaaaaaaaaaars..... My oldest daughter had all of her vaccinations, while my other 3 have not....

There are 9 years between my oldest daughter and 2nd child......So when Chloey came along I once again followed the recommendations for vaccines.... That is until one day my pediatrician gave me an OPTION of NOT getting them for her....

I was STUNNED..... and I decided to do some research on them..... What I found I did NOT like so I halted all further vaccinations.

Listen folks, we have been preached at for years that this was the "Right" thing to do......

WHO has been singing this to us tho? I'll tell you who! The BILLION dollar pharmaceutical industry who stands to loose ALOT if more parents like myself take a stand.....

From 1911 to 1935 the four leading causes of childhood deaths from infectious diseases in America were diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), scarlet fever, and measles.
Then by 1945, the combined death rates from these causes had declined by 95 percent, BEFORE the implementation of mass immunization programs.

The greatest factors in this decline were sanitation through public health measures, improved nutrition, better housing with less crowded conditions and the introduction of antibiotics.

I WILL however *agree* that vaccinations DID help to eliminate *most* childhood diseases that have occurred in the past 50 or so years. But wait at WHAT price?

Alot of *Pro* Vaccination folks will argue that Autism has been around for years and that the only reason why there are more diagnosis of Autism is simply because we have better tools to do so....

To those folks I would say read Shelly Reynolds testimony at Congressman Dan Burton's House Government Reform Committee on April 6, 2000. You'd be SHOCKED......

Another very interesting Doctor who has spoken about this is Dr. Mary Megson who testified at the House Government Reform Committee affirming:

"The segment of children with 'regressive autism,' the form where children develop normally for a period of time then lose skills and sink into autism most commonly at 18-24 months of age, is increasing at a phenomenal rate. I am seeing multiple children in the same family affected, including in the last week four cases of 'autistic regression' developing in four-year-old children after their MMR and DPT vaccination. In the past, this was unheard of. …I think we are staring a disaster in the face that has affected thousands of Americans."

You might give a child two Tylenol a day for 60 days without ill effect, but it would be dangerous, even deadly to give them 120 Tylenol all at once in a single day.

In fact, some children are given shots containing over 100 times more mercury than is recommended by EPA officials!!!!!!!!

Drs. Cutler and Holmes report that since multiple vaccines are often given on the same day, "the amount of mercury injected into a typical infant exceeds the EPA's 'safe' limits."

Not convinced yet? Ok let's look at some more.......

Did you realize that the symptoms of autism in many cases are almost identical with the symptoms of mercury poisoning? AND most vaccines are manufactured with mercury.

Vaccines containing thimerosal (a preservative) were not recalled because, we were told the benefits of vaccinations outweigh the possibilities of autism in children who get the shots.

Thimerosal was added to vaccines that protect children against diseases such as hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, and others, but it seems to be more dangerous than the diseases they are supposed to prevent!!!!!

Take a look at what Boyd Haley, a chemistry professor at the University of Kentucky, wrote: “Thiomersal is extremely toxic. The preliminary data is convincing and does indicate that vaccines are the most likely suspect for causing autism.

Why is mercury not safe for food additives and Over the Counter drug products, but it is safe in vaccines? And I will remind you that most vaccinations are given to children, even babies while still in their developmental years. What an adult brain may be able to absorb and flush out, may be devastating to a child.

Now, there ARE Mercury Free vaccinations available now, but keep in mind there's still ALOT of the "OLD" vaccinations floating around so make SURE to get the MERCURY FREE...... Also (IF) you do decide to vaccinate your child I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend getting them MONTHS APART and NOT all one day....

Why do you want to overload your child's system?

My philosophy on vaccinations is simple.... QUESTION EVERYTHING, and at this time I choose NOT to vaccinate....
