Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 All you need to say is that you're not doing it. Simple as that. No matter what she says, ignore it. You need to have the attitude that you're not budging. If you give the impression that you're not positive about your decision, she will most likely go on and on and on. You don't need to explain to her your parenting decisions. Would you explain to your gynecologist (if you have one) about your sexual preferences? None of their damn business. Also ask yourself this question, does your daughter really need to see a pediatrician for you to know that she is healthy? My son hasn't seen a doctor since he was 2 months old and the doctor told me " there are a lot of crazy, biased stuff on the internet about vaccines. Let me get you some real information. " And she came back with advertisements/brochures from the VACCINE MANUFACTURERS!

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I don't know, but maybe you could gently point out that you know several people whose children (e.g., mine) whose behavior deteriorated after vaccinations, and you'd like to hold back until you were sure what the meaning of all this is. Perhaps, too, the use of attack dogs and armed guards to force vaccinations in land has really put you off. Maybe also reasure him and say that you intend to get the vaccinations fairly soon after you study the matter further. Then switch doctors?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hullo Danritter. You only need to take your state's vaccine exemption in with you, so look that up. There is a medical in all states. See if your state has a religious and or conscientios exemption. Write it up or use one of the forms or letters. Sign it, date it, and make copies. Some states want it certified, so see if yours needs that and get it done before Friday. Most forms and letters are printable or can be put on your word processor to personalize or make adjustments or updates. Find and read thorougly your states exemption infomation at the link at the bottom. You can also look up you individual states vaccination regulations, and see the actual bills and passages and wording for your state. Hand it to your receptionist and tell them you want a copy of your vaccine exemption put in their record file. That should be the end of it. YOU do not need to say anything more than that. It is not their business. The more you talk, the more your story might wander from the exemption wording, so say little if anything. If the doctor questions it, tell them that is your decision. If they press you with coersion, stick to your guns, SMILE comfortably, and politely keep reminding them that you do not want your child vaccinated, and it is your legal right to do so. End of story. (There is a tiny chance that they may tell you to go elsewhere for treatment BECAUSE vaccinations are the main source of their income In this event, just smile and say ok. Can I have my childs records. Then fire THEM and get another doctor, a general practicioner, and/ or a homeopath or chiropractor.) You DO NOT need to be affiliated with any religion to use the religious exemption, even if anyone ever TRIES to say differently. A few states try to say that you must name your religious affiliation or get a church officiate to sign a letter for your. They are out of their realm to ask, and it is not legal, and they know it. Another form of unlawful intimidation. They are praying on the uninformed. Tell us how it goes.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Is there any particular reason for taking your child for a " well visit " , which is merely another ploy for pushing toxic vaccinations on insecure young mothers. Surely, you as her mom are the best judge of whether your child is developing normally, you don't need a " professional " to weigh and measure your child (you can do that yourself!) or a reassuring pat on the back confirming that you are a " good li'l mom " . You already KNOW that! There is absolutely no need whatsoever to express anything " diplomatically " to the good doc. YOU are the ultimate decision-maker when it comes to the health and well-being of your child, you have the RIGHT to decide whether or not to vaccinate your child. Period! If the " learned " friend doesn't like it - too bad. Tell him to take a hike and find another doctor. Please folks, develop a backbone and exercise your rights and above all don't allow yourself to be intimidated! By the way, my UNVACCINATED grandchildren in California (6 years and 19 months old) haven't been taken to any " well visit " since the day they were born. Referring to your previous mail, Karla, regarding the school physical - when my daughter enroled in school recently, she handed them the vaccination exemption and also crossed out the " physical examination " clause and wrote in bold letters underneath " NOT WITHOUT MY PRIOR CONSENT " . Ingrid I am taking my daughter to her 4 month " well visit " on friday. I am looking for ideas to concisely and diplomaticaly express to the doctor that I do not want my daughter vaccinated, maybe a good fact sheet to print out or some choice wording to express my concerns. I have looked at so much information that it is difficult to choose a couple of talking points to convey my thoughts, especially to a pediatrician who is prepared for these encounters.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I agree 100%. My son will never visit another doctor for a " check-up " . Everything they do there, I can do at home, with much more intuition. Doctors have always made me uneasy since I was a child and I never knew why. Well now I know.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I agree 100%. My son will never visit another doctor for a " check-up " . Everything they do there, I can do at home, with much more intuition. Doctors have always made me uneasy since I was a child and I never knew why. Well now I know.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I have found that a fact sheet or any attempt to " convince " your health care provider of your ideas is a waste of time. Remember that the allopaths are being educated out the wazoo by lackeys of the insurance/pharmaceutical industry. Many things that used to be taught in medical schools (like how to handle certain birth presentations) are no longer even mentioned or touched upon by medical schools any longer - as per the influence of insurance. There is, to date, ZERO med schools in the US which require even ONE course in nutrition for its students to graduate. In addition, if you see any sign of advertisement by pharmas in your Dr's office (note pads with drugs embossed on each sheet, pens or pencils with the names of companies - more often antibiotics and other drugs), then you HAVE to assume that the office is being plied with temptations and constant brain washing from drug companies on a regular basis. It is not uncommon for formula companies to present doctors and their staffs with trips to Aruba for cases of formula given to new mothers over the course of a year. Frequently the pharma representative is as much a presence in the office as the " paid " staff. I have found (21 years of 4 unvaccinated children) that the best approach is to show an objective face. To ask for the inserts to each and every vaccine offered, and to respond with something like, " Thank you for this information. I'll give all my options careful consideration. " The above is IF you choose to continue with allopathic care and need to navigate those waters to sift out what you actually want to purchase from those providers. By the time my 21 year old daughter was 6 years old, we'd fired our pediatrician, worked occasionally with a very elderly MD who still made house calls, and primarily with a Native American healer. We've needed to navigate allopathy on the couple of occasions that we've had a broken bone or needed more stitches than I could do myself (yes - I've stitched my own kids on several instances). An on those few occasions, the above polite but firm attitude sufficed. You will NEVER get a friendly open minded attitude from any mainstream provider once you state your position, but you CAN keep things polite if you don't challenge their ideas or try to convince them of yours. MY OPINION, THOUGH! Best of luck, Theresa On Oct 22, 2008, at 1:30 AM, danritter1980 wrote: > I am taking my daughter to her 4 month " well visit " on friday.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Thank you Monika. I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one who doesn't do "check-ups" per say. I have gut feelings when things aren't right with my kids. Or if there is something I can't handle. We go to the doctor. I do not withhold medical care for my kids to avoid an argument. But with being so inquisitive and learning, there is so much I can handle and don't depend on someone else to tell me what I know. I never ever jeoperdize my girls health to prove a point. They come first ALWAYS. I don't let them push me around but I do listen to what they say.
