Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 Thanks so much for the information, . I do see a chiropractor, so I think I will ask him if he can recommend someone next time I go in. Michele Michele, When my kids were born, I lived in a nice area that wasn't overpopulated. I found a pediatrician and explained why I would NOT vaccinate, he at first tried to convince me otherwise, but I explained to him I researched the issue, I lost a child from a reaction to a DTP vaccine, I knew I had rights, I knew what the state exemptions were, and I was the one who had to live with the grief of loosing one child and NO ONE could tell me otherwise. After that, he shut his mouth, took me seriously, and never said anything about vaccines again. Unfortunately we just moved back to the big city and I will have to find someone I am more comfortable with. However, I doubt I will take my kids to another pediatrician, I will look at family physicians (since they are more tolerable in areas like this) and I will also call a chiropractor to ask for some names (reason being chiros usually don't believe in vaccinating anyone for anything). Hope this helps. M from Michigan P.S. Sorry to everyone on the list for not being involved in awhile. Finally unpacked and settled in so will try to keep up with the posts again.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 I'm not a very assertive person either. I just don't go to the doctors office unless I think my child has a problem.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2000 Report Share Posted June 21, 2000 Sheri, Don't TAKE it personally. Hey, the clerk at the committee last week took my tape recorder, the capital guard told me I could not sit in the hall way (He said I had to stand for 7 hours because otherwise it was vagrancy...) Granted, by the time I saw my mom, I seriously cried because of that,amongst other things that happened. Emotionally, I was drained and frustrated. I don't put a lot in the newsletters that happens. Always remember when you are doing the right thing people will attack you. I had one father tell me once when I was down, that we may not get the laws changed 'but we will have softened the path for the next generation'.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Dr. Len can give you better resources, but I have definitely seen that while there are some similiarities in the brain tissues between Alz patients and people with ds, it isn't an automatic progression to having Alz if you have ds. Have also seen suggestions that an active lifestyle among people with ds as well as others tends to make it less likely that Alz develops. Judi question hi gang, i just received this email and was wondering if any of you could help me answer this question. this is exactly how the email reads.... ** Can you find anything on your Down Syndrome page about Alzheimers and people with D.S.? We heard that all people with D.S will eventually get Alz if they live long enough. \However, I just heard that only 45% will Which is correct?? thanks ** thanks guys, awaiting the replies....so i can forward them on .

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Amy, I guess I'd go with the hot water on the stove - if you think you can get him to inhale it. Otherwise, if he doesn't mind the shower, you can sprinkle several drops in the tub, run the shower hot enough to steam up the bathroom, and just hold him in there. Not terribly practical for everyday (water bill and conservation factors) but okay in a pinch. *Sometimes ANYTHING is better than a cranky, stuffy babe!* Good luck! -Gretchen On Sun, 31 Dec 2000 15:19:35 -0500 " SilentVision & SeaPony " <silentsea@...> writes: > Hello, > > > I have a question concerning Eucalytpus (sp?)

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 My Nicky did something similar. He also shakes his head violently while laughing hysterically. Both his therapists and teachers said these types of behavior are not uncommon and provide a form of stimulation. Nick has outgrown most of these activities (he is 3.3 yrs). Although, the head shaking he still does on occasion. Bonnie from Long Island Mom to -10, twins and (ds)-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 Jill, does this when he is kind of playing around. However, he is not exhausted after. You may want to look into this with your pediatrician?! My other 3 children never did this, so I was nervous at first, but in our case, he is just trying to be cute...which he succeeds at!! =) Good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Hi Gail, I'm not the expert by any means, but I would think the magnetic pulser would be the best bet. The blood purifier won't do any good, but colloidal silver would probably have an effect. Also, a Hulda Zapper would be beneficial IMHO. I had a problem years ago, when I first started learning about and using the electronic devices, with parasites in the brain. I used the Zapper regularly and it made a difference but didn't completely cure the problem or prevent it from coming back. If you've got a mag pulser use it daily and see what happens. Dennis Question Dennis or Anybody, On your website you stated the pulser, purifier, and zapper were all trying to eliminate parasites in different ways. Can you tell me which is the best to kill parasites in the brain? Would it be the pulser? Thanks, Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 You lie and claim you never vaccinated. If you are only going to selectively vaccinate, then they never need to know. Use free clinics. If, by the time they are in school, they have their immunizations, and you simply did not follow the standard schedule, nobody will care or question why you delayed it - all they care about is that the set number of vaccines ordered in your state are completed before kindergarten. > For those who have decided to selectively vaccinate or delay vaccinating. > How do you handle public school issues where vaccinations are mandatory > except for medical or religious exemptions?

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 , For our kids it's as simple as filling out the religious exemption form which only requires a parent signature, sending it into the school (or turning it in at the time you register for school) and it goes into their cum file and no questions asked! We also have a medical exemption for our vaccine damaged son which is in his cum file as well. Alaska does not have philisophical exemptions at this time! We've not had any problems with this here except for the usual hassle by the docs! Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
