Guest guest Posted January 28, 1999 Report Share Posted January 28, 1999 Hi all my name is , I have one daughter, Baylee who is 11 months old. I have been on the list actually for a long time and have just now had the opportunity to introduce myself. Unfortunately Baylee has recieved two Heb B shots. I hate to think that her little immune system was bombarded by toxins for what I feel was a total unecessary vaccine. One was without my consent in the hospital right after she was born, the other when she was a month old. The good news is that was all the shots she received! I am very thankful that I decided to research vaccines before she was given any other shots. I was reluctant all along to give them to her, yet coaxed into believing Dr.'s knew what was best! Didn't take me long to figure out that was not the case in a lot of circumstances. Thankfully dh is in full support with my decision not to vaccinate, although he does feel concerned about her in the event that she would contract one of the childhood illnesses.<p> The one concern I have is with polio. I'm not going to vaccinate her against this disease but, I am afraid of it's ability to really harm a child. Does anyone else feel concerned about Polio? I have heard of severe problems related to polio. I have a family member who was crippled from polio. I have also read horror stories of a woman who spent her life in a iron lung as a result of this disease. I don't think a vaccine full of toxic substances is the answer to my concerns but, I do wonder how to protect her from the complications of a disease like polio. I would like to hear how some of you feel about this! I welcome all thoughts and input. Thanks so much. Glad to be apart of this list.<p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
