Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 If this is indeed true, then I was lied to (yet, again, what a surprise!) by an allopathic doc this last December. I had my son in to see an allopath for the first time in his life because he had inhaled a piece of pistachio nut into his bronchial tubes that had to be extracted via a scope and suction under general anesthesia. During his follow-up after the surgery, the ped, having known my stance on vaxing since I first took my son to see her a day after he inhaled the nut, urged me to get " Just the DTaP, if nothing else " . I refused. She continued to tell me that if there was some component of the DTaP that I was uncomfortable with, that her office stocked the single vaccines and she could give one at a time over several visits, and leave any of the components out that I didn't want... she also stated that, if nothing else, I should consider Tetanus. I refused again, of course, thanked her for (finally, a month later -- prior to seeing her I was treated like a paranoid parent that didn't know what I was talking about) getting my child the medical attention he needed and left. I wasn't surprised that she had offered single vaccines, as I had taken my child to that particular office for his acute problem after being directed there by a holistic practitioner. That particular practice has a lot of selective-vax/no-vax patients, so my holistic practitioner thought I'd be hounded less there for my decisions than with most doctors. My reasoning was since they deal with selective-vax patients that they have a lot of the single-dose versions on-hand that most other ped's don't stock. So, was she (the doc) lying? If I had agreed to, for instance JUST Tetanus, and signed the " waiver " JUST for Tetanus, would my son have gotten other crap too? Hm... medical malpractice if I've ever heard of it!!

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Some years back there was a tetanus only vaccine available. I temporarily lost my mind and let myself be talked into the tetanus for my kids. At that time there were two companies who made it: Wyeth (with some other name on it, too) and I can't remember the other at the moment. So, they're back to not making it available separately again?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I would have thought they'd have to have a tetanus only vaccine. Otherwise, every time someone gets a dog bite or scratch, they would have to give the DTaP. It is not like they tell you, when offering a tetanus shot, you are also being jabbed with the others. Wouldn't surprise me though. Combining the vaccines is just their way of covering up exactly which one caused damage. One of the many ways they manipulate us.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 When the medics give a tetanus shot in response to an injury, it is actually the tetanus immunoglobulin rather than the tetanus toxoid that is given with the D & P. This gives you the idea: http://www.nmhct.nhs UK/pharmacy/protocol-tetanus.HTML <groan> I think it is possible to get the tetanus toxoid vaccine on its own, from what I have read. But they consider that it has a better efficacy when mixed with the diphtheria toxoid so it is combined with that - iirc....

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yup, you were lied to. There is no pertussis-only vaccine available. In fact, pertussis only comes in DTaP-like combo drugs. There is a tetanus-only vaccine that is separate from the one that they'll give you in the ER if you have a wound. It's relatively new. There are diphtheria and tetanus vaccines, called Td and DT. Both contain thimerosal. http://www.novaccine.com/specific-vaccines/vaccine.asp?v_id=37 ~Robyn Roberg wrote: > > If this is indeed true, then I was lied to (yet, again, what a surprise!) > by an allopathic doc this last December.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks, Sheri. I was just curious--no intentions of demanding it from my end. At the time I asked for it separately, the ped said they it wasn't available. I corrected him, and told him Wyeth made it. When it came in, it was from Connaught, so I guess he knew all along he could order it. I refused it because I was told by a medical malpractice attorney to stay away from Connaught because they were sued constantly over poor quality control. Who would think you'd have to worry about the company's QC records along with all the other dangers of vaccines? Never again.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hi, Kathy. Thanks for your story. Here are some things to consider, although you didn't ask so feel free to ignore: If you're fully vaccinated daughter got whooping cough, you have first hand experience with total vaccine failure. All of your family who got it pulled through. I'm sure it was very scary, but you're all fine.What benefit would you get from the vaccine that you don't already have? (and I don't think they make the pertussis vaccine by itself). My oldest two sons were given the original DPT. I was told all vaccines were perfectly safe. Then the DTaP came along and I was told it was safer. What the heck? How can it be safer than " perfectly safe? " Something to consider: SIDS occurs around when DTaP is given, no known cause. Is it a coincidence? Read A Shot in the Dark: Why the P in the DPT vaccination may be hazardous to your child's health. It's an eye-opener, even if they don't use the whole-cell pertussis vaccine any more. The acellular pertussis one might not be any better.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi , welcome to our group! My feeling on this is that if the parents are okay with you possibly exposing their children to the pox, then you should just go over and have fun with the family! What are the possiblities that can happen? 1. Perhaps your children are not infected and not contagious; 2. If your kids are infected, theirs may or may not become infected; 3. If their children do end up infected, it will do two things... it will show them that vaccines aren't as foolproof as they believe and possibly open their eyes to the other vaccines, it will make their children truly immune to the pox for life, and it's a mild childhood disease that is likely not going to do more than cause them a little discomfort in the form of itching for a few days. I say you've been the responsible one and done your part by telling them truthfully that your children may be infected and you left it up to them to call the shots.... they called 'em, so go with it!

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Thank you, We have not heard from the whole family yet and I get the feelign we will not hear from the rest of them. Most of the children minus the 11 month old have all been fully vaxed so far so they do feel secure that we are the hippy freaks and they are the normal ones. I would love to see the look on there faces if the knew our 3.5 year old was still nursing ROFL. Anyway got off track. We are currently planning on attending, of course I was hopeing someone would say no, I do not care for this event. Mothers day with the in-laws Yeah! I was kind of hoping to stay home. Such is my luck.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Oh, hahahaha! That is so funny! So maybe the kiddos will have pox marks tomorrow morning and you CAN stay home. I'm glad to know I'm not the only " hippy freak " around! I get funny looks from family and friends when they find out my 2.5 yr old is still nursing. I also get " the looks " everytime the vax issue comes up, or when I refuse to use a microwave to cook -- I can't stand the way they make my food taste, so I do it the old fashioned way.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Glad to see I am not the only one who refuses to own a microwave! Did you know if you boil water and let it cool to room temperature then water the plants with it that it will kill the plants? That is all I needed to convince me how horridly dangerous they are.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I have a microwave because it came with the apartment, but I try not to use it...at least for the kids. But I had no idea about the water killing the plants!! Wow!!! FORCED ANARCHY <FORCEDANARCHY@...> wrote: Glad to see I am not the only one who refuses to own a microwave!

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Oh man, I can't STAND microwaves. I remember when we got our first one in the late 70's or early 80's. My mom had made some really awesome beef stroganoff the night before that she decided to quickly heat back up in the new and modern microwave. I took one bite, spit it out and REFUSED to eat any more! The meat tasted completely rotten to me! I think it makes everything taste rotten or like wet cardboard. Broccoli and Cauliflower are the WORST things microwaved, other than meats, IMO. Microwaves were actually outlawed in Russia in 1976 due to the hazardous effects they have on the environment and our physical health. Here's a really good read on the subject: http://www.progesterone.com/microwave_hazards.html We have a microwave in the house we're currently renting because it's built in above the stove. DH uses it, but he's forbidden from giving my kids or me anything that has been nuked. My kids are not allowed anywhere NEAR the kitchen when the nuker is running, either. I just don't feel comfortable with radiation touching my food or being anywhere near my kids. When we buy a house, if there's a microwave in it, that will be the first thing that gets upgraded to the trash.... in the meantime I figure DH is a grown man and if he wants to fry his cells, that's his choice. He is not allowed to make microwaved popcorn though... make that in my house and you will be BANNED for life! The smell from that stuff sticks to everything! Blech! I even have been known to warn a waitress/waiter up front in restraunts that I WILL be sending back anything that is nuked, so not to even bother... and I HAVE sent food back that tasted nuked. If I'm paying good money, I want good food! Here's the link to the plant study: http://www.execonn.com/sf/ Snopes.com lists it as a hoax, but I don't care... the mere fact that the taste of food changes is enough for me to stay away. I actually tend to be very sensitive to anything like that though; I can't stand the taste of anything from plastic either, so all my leftovers are stored in Corningware (which also makes it easy to pop in the oven right from the fridge). I can actually taste the chemicals from the plastic. I even make my own bread and store it in foil, or buy fresh baked bread at the bakery and instruct them to put it in paper bags, because I can't stand the plastic wrap taste on store-bought bread. I think that if I ever had to, I could make a pretty good case to get a medical exemption for vaccines, because if I'm this sensitive to things in the environment, then I'm sure my kids are, as well. Especially since I don't expose them to a lot of the stuff -- like plastic for storing food. DH's side of the family has a LOT of food/chemical sensitivities too. Of course, getting any allopath to look at me straight-faced and not call me a kook could be a challenge... especially when my own friends and some of my family (my mom is on board with me) think I'm on the nutty side already! I tell them I'm not nutty, I'm crunchy!

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 We also used distilled water rather than tap. If I had my own distiller, I'd cook w/that water too. Instead, I at least used filtered. I can't stand the taste of tap water - period. Plus, with all the chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc in the water, it can't be good for us. Add that on top of the microwave thing, vax thing, etc, etc! > > > > Thank you, > > We have not heard from the whole family yet and I get the feelign we > > will not hear from the rest of them.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Welcome Dee Dee! That book had a big effect in me too. I also am on the mothering boards and am nursing my nearly nine month old ... I would love to still be doing it at 16 months- good for you! This board is awesome, you will be glad you joined.

I am a mom to a beautiful 16 month old, completely vax free daughter. A little history: About 3 years ago, while I was at the airport on my way to ireland to visit my parents, I came across " Natural Cures " by Trudeau...say what you want about the guy but this book literally changed my life. It was truly eye opening. From that moment on, I changed my diet to as much organic food as possible, I began using all natural cleaners in my home (vinegar rules), organic body care products etc. I was addicted to organicconsumers.org and EWG.org. I am so thankful my eyes were opened during this period, because it got me on a great, truly healthy path during my pregnancy. All of that research I did for those few years before I got pregnant led me to mothering.com... If it wasn't for all of those changes I went through, I would have had a conventional birth with an OB...instead I had an all natural birth with a midwife..one of the most incredible experiences ever. I am still nursing my 16 month old (a big reason is because she is non vaxed), and that I want her to have optimal immunity, which I believe can be achieved through breastmilk, and high quality organic food. The reson why I mentioned mothering is because they have a vaccination forum. I am so glad I found them, as it was a TREMENDOUS resource with a lot of supportive mamas. It is because of that forum, that my daighter is completely vax free. I've learned, and continue to learn everything I can about vaccinations...I think I've read every book, watched every DVD etc..I I have a copy of the CDC Pink Book, and I love how it is dissected on the mothering board. Anyway, I can't believe it took this long to find you guys, but I am finally here and thrilled to be a part of this very important group. Look forward to getting into with you all!

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Good to have you aboard, Deedee, welcome! I commend you for breastfeeding for as long as you have. It's always nice to hear of others who are like-minded. I'm the " kook " in my family for still breastfeeding my toddler, eating as naturally as possible, not vaxing (for that I'm more than a kook, I'm also irresponsible and I'm abusing my child...), etc. I currently still breastfeed my 28 month old, as well as my newborn, and I know it will be a truly heartbreaking (although maybe slightly relieving) day when my toddler decides he doesn't need mama's milk anymore. I look forward to seeing more from you; I'm sure you will contribute much to our group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 DeeDee, Welcome! Hey, I have a question for you... perhaps everyone else knows this, but what is the CDC Pink Book and how can I get a copy? :-) > > Hi everyone, and thank you for accepting me in to your group. > > I am a mom to a beautiful 16 month old, completely vax free daughter. > > A little history: About 3 years ago, while I was at the airport on my > way to ireland to visit my parents, I came across " Natural Cures " by > Trudeau...say what you want about the guy but this book > literally changed my life.
