Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 For I do feel NOT vaxing is the best way for the kids It however isnt a good choice fo rme any longer. I have a hard time with this choice It has made my life miserable so that i barely leave the house nay longer and I panic at contact with other children. We dont leave the house for family functions or birthday parties play groups etc. This is NO way for a person to live. I however still want to remain on the list and continue learning. I dont expect most of you to understand. I just feel at this point she is in more danger form the ilness then the vaccine. I cant afford any longer to buy organic veg and fruits I am forced right now to by cheaper products less healthy. There are a lot of reasons with in myself.

Why don't you work with Phyllis on treatment for that. You may be sacrificing your children's health due to your fears. Oh my gosh.........what can I say. Yes you can still rely on us, but I am so concerned for your children.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 You have to do what you feel is right for you and your family, Amy, and if selective vaxing is what you feel will reassure you, then at least remind yourself that by leaving it as late as you have to start, you will probably have reduced the amount of damage that might be done by any vaxes. Also, am I right in thinking that you are still nursing? If so, then your breastmilk will continue to protect against illness for Chaela, and will help to line her gut, thus protecting further against vax damage. No-one can guarantee you that she won't have a reaction of some sort, either now or later, but that's one of the things you'd have to live with if you go ahead. No-one can make this decision for you, and I do feel for you - your anguish over this is evident. I understand where you are coming from. It is an emotive issue, and even when you are 100% convinced that vaxes don't work and are actively dangerous, as I am, you still have that odd confidence crisis from time to time when your child gets a bug, as they all do, and you listen to their chesty cough and laboured breathing as they sleep, wondering if you really *should* have done the pertussis (the only one I ever mildly think about, probably because I fear the illness itself - I have no fear of the others). It's very hard to be objective about your own child, but you owe Chaela a mother who is vital and happy, not existing in fear. Good luck and I know you will continue to get support here, whatever choice you make.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 FOLKS, Just a question.. WHY do your friends and family need to know whether or not you vaccinate? I mean.. are not some topics just ones you don't bring up? For example, if someone asked me about birth control, I would look at them incredulously and ask them to ask my husband.. and generally.. they won't be that brave. <G> If someone asks about is my child current on vaccines.. and I know they are pro vaccine and not really interested.. the answer is yes. The child is as current as he ever will be. :-) I think sometimes we bring on our own attacks by volunteering too much information. Please consider what is wise. And, yes, some do know that we have a child who is not vaccinated.. but.. the relatives and those likely to call Child services on us, have no need to know. THanks for listening.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Amy, First off, I have a cousin named Amy, and I named a puppy out of this last litter Amy, she just looked like an Amy. I'm sure you realize that even giving the vaccines you think you want to give there is no guarantee that they will keep your child from getting that disease. No doctor will sign an affidavit making that guarantee. No doctor will sign an affidavit saying that your child will not develop any adverse reactions to those vaccinations. There are no guarantees in life. There are no absolutes. I can tell you that with non-vaccinated puppies - right from the beginning of their lives - nothing gets sterilized except being washed with soap and water, people coming to visit are not required to wipe their shoes on a clorox towel to get rid of any parvo germs, they aren't required to sterlize their hands before touching a puppy, the puppies are taken off the premises and visit any number of places. They nurse as long as Mom allows them to nurse. You let them get their immune systems built up in small stages. By keeping them confined in a sterile environment is not going to build an immune system. Confinemnet is not doing them any favors. No one can live their life in a bubble. You cannot protect yourself or your family from every little ripple or tornado that comes your way and by doing so really does them no favors long term. Your children need to be able to come to terms with life's realities and the younger they start learning that fact the easier life will be as an adult. The first thing to learn is life is not fair. It's not fair that people get sick. It's not fair that people also die. It's not fair that you are told that by giving this vaccine and that vaccine that your children will be perfectly protected. It's not fair that if you don't vaccinate that your children might get a disease you could have vaccinated for. It's not fair that the establishment makes you think that you need to vaccinate for non- fatal diseases. It's not fair that members of your family are putting pressure on you. Life in many respects is just not fair. In all of this discussion, the best advice I've seen is for you to get in touch with your homeopath. Take Sheri's classes, knowledge is power. You take control of your life and I think you may be surprised how many more things will fall into place and the fears will subside.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Excellent letter Jackie! Excellent points made! I too am ridiculed for not vaxxing but luckily my kids are so much healthier even though mostly vaccinated (before I had a clue) than the totally vaccinated cousins, that they end up looking silly. I just make little comments like " Oh your kids sick again? You can't inject that much metal and nothing happen. " I have gone off so many times on them about how ridiculous they are for injecting garbage into their kids they leave me alone. The topper was when Nick got epstein barr right after the MMR. Man did I make my case then! If any thing ever happens to my kids I start my rant of OH my why did I vaccinated them why didn't you all help me research? They just hang there head and try to change the subject. I will not be intimidated by ignorance. Hugs to you Amy.. be strong... your kids are counting on you.

Its very >lonely as a NON vaxer in the VAXING world. > And I will say - it is EVEN MORE LONELY with a vaccine damaged child in this vaxing world. You should go on the lists with many vaccine damaged children. There are some here, of course, but there are lists with severe damage. NO ONE is there for you. Husbands leave, parents blame, doctors at not there at all. Amy, I'm going to say this out of concern, but I have seen you in fear all this time and I don't think it will go away if you vaccinate. I think you need serious help from Phyllis to deal homepoathically with this out of control fear that you have. In studying homeopathy all this time, I see this as a serious illness that you have and with homeopathic evaluation, treatment can be given that corrects the disturbance that is producing so much fear in you. This will not magically go away with vaccination. Please please, for your baby's sake................

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 hi amy, i think it is important for you to follow yourintuition rather than your fears. i had a girlfriend who went through something similar - they didn't vaccinate their first but by the time their 3rd came along she was paranoid of her children picking up any kind of illness. she vaccinated them and sadly her 3rd stopped talking and lost any of his speech after the MMR shot. she is very adamant in making sure i do not vaccinate my children. if you feel you need to vaccinate, do remember to give vit A and C before the shots. also, read stephanie cave's book ... she gives lots of advice about how to give the shots (timewise) and minimize reactions. life teaches us many lessons. death comes to all of us regardless of what we do or don't do. i wish you all the best in your decision. mandi -- Re: Re: Exemptions like I said I would love to see phyliss I VALUE you her greatly but its not fair to ask her services when I can barely afford to pay her to take care of Chaela.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Well, I have to tell you in my experience-- I asked the pastor at the baptist church to give me a letter and he did not even respond. I attended the churnch for over 2 years... The religious exemption is merely a statement that you can provide to the day care or school to state that you have genuine and sincere religious belief that your child should not be vaccinated. It has to be dated and signed and you are all set. No other documentation is needed. Doctors and schools are not legally allowed to have you reveal what your religious sect is so there is no need to give any more information than necessary. To give you a bit of a background about me-- I have a non'vax child who the biological father wants vax... and I did not. The child's has attended two seperate daycare and in both case they accepted a hand written note. I did however seek the religious exemption from an attorney who charged me $600.00 to draw a legal document up. This was totally useless in family court and totally wasteful as far as submitting it to the daycare, because a hand-written note by me was sufficent (sp?). Family court judge did not give a hoot about what I was saying and she did not dare to allow the respondent's attorney ask what denomination I was involved with. (which he did ask?) and she did not even let my attorney object she clearly said it DOES NOT MATTER! and did not let him finish cross examining me. But sadly for me she ruled against me on the issue of vax. I did get full custody, but he was allowed to vax. It was a long fight and fortunately he did not vax...THAT IS UNTIL THIS PAST MONDAY :.( My two and 1/2 year old daughter said that " A Blue Man gave me a shot in my arm. " The area was soar and tender to touch. My heart broke! I was so sad! I contacted the primary doctor and they had not vaccinated her in their office. The creep took her somewhere else. FUNNY THING I SMELL A LAWSUIT ABOUT TO HAPPEN. What kind of doctor vax's a child without knowing the family or the mother or questions why a two year old is not vax yet or where is the proof of who is the custodial parent. SORRY I'M VENTING A BIT!!! But the father and I both have petitions in the Appeallate Court--State of NY. If we both are appealing the judges decision then why is it legal for him to vaccinate her? I don't really think he can do that but I will soon find out! hope that helps! Jackie B --- beth howell <howelleli@...> wrote: > Thanks i think my reverend will be sufficiant i > where live in NJ.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'm very sorry to hear about his. I stopped my 2 year old sons vaccinations after his 6 month jab because i thought he was going to die. My son screamed for hours, he did not sleep I felt so helpless. I called the Ped and the nurse said that happens after the vaccination. That is when i started to research vaccinations I was very uneducated about the whole thing. Also my 12 year old daughter is fully vaxed up until this happened. I will no longer vaccinate her either. And thank you very much for your advice Beth peacanpr@... wrote: Well, I have to tell you in my experience-- I asked the pastor at the baptist church to give me a letter and he did not even respond.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 This is partially true, Jackie. It's very different in some states. That's why everyone MUST research their particular state's exemption laws. Some states DO require you to belong to a specific religion that doesn't believe in vaccinating. There aren't too many of those unfortunately. Some states have a specific form you have to get from the health dept. to sign and verify that vaxing is against your religious beliefs. Some state's forms must be notarized, others don't require that. Other states have philosphical exemptions where all you have to do is sign the back of a form. So everyone PLEASE check out your state's requirements and follow them to the letter of the law. New Jersey apparently is a difficult state to get a religious exemption from. They are known to refuse them most of the time. So you MUST find out exactly what you need to do for your state. There have been many links given to help you do so. Sheri's site has a link as well: http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/exemptions.htm Kay Re: Re: EXEMPTIONS The religious exemption is merely a statement that you can provide to the day care or school to state that you have genuine and sincere religious belief that your child should not be vaccinated. It has to be dated and signed and you are all set. No other documentation is needed. Doctors and schools are not legally allowed to have you reveal what your religious sect is so there is no need to give any more information than necessary.
