Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Shari - first of all I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to keep beating this in my head. I am sitting here as I type this looking at my kids knowing I have to protect them. I am sure you can tell how freaked out and scared I am right now. Ok, first things first I will look into getting my kids cleared without vaccines. I lean more towards not getting them...at least not right now while I am so unertain about their safety. The reason I believe they will make us is because when I had to get mine.....I was not given much of a choice. I want to share something with you....I got those shots in May...got ill in Aug. and my hair analysis said I have Aluminium toxcity. Funny thing is I do not and never had cooked from Aluminum pans, I DO NOT drink pop and have never worked in that type of enviroment. My results were off the charts!!!!! Now, something happened to me medically at the end of March so I have no way of knowing whih one caused me to have the toxicity. Although the more I learn about vaccines I wonder...... Second, I will continue to research. I noticed you have some online classes coming up in March. Do they cost???? How long are they???? Love, Beth The lies about vaccination was New Member >>> Sheri - I totally understand your position that any vaccines at any time can be harmful/dangerous. I am sure you know far more than I ever will about this topic...I thank you for your advice and support on this issue. >>> Sure - I know more than many because I have been so immersed in this and have read thousands and thousands of documents - mainstream as well as alternative. And I know all of you and see the terrible dangers of vaccines and the lies we all have been told and it makes me sick. Sick for all of you with injured children and chronic illness and lives ruined. >>>> I honestly can not point out a specific disease I am fearful of as I jsut started my research. You have to take one at a time and look carefully at each one. That's why I have the class to help you all as it is not easy to research each one. >>> However, there are still cases of polio around although not common. Don't just stop there - look at it. Look at the reality behind what polio really is and how vaccinating will NOT keep it from happening. >>> How about the Hep A & B???? Hep A is easily recovered from in most cases. Hardly something to vaccinate for, even if the vaccine did work. Hep B is a disease of blood usually in people with drug problems or involved with multiple sex partners, if you believe what they tell you about it. There is a huge possibility that what we know is not even true about Hep B. I was a nurse in ICU and had blood pour all over me many times from wounds, spurting blood vessels, blood transfusions spilling on me. I did not get hep b. Most people do not. And those that are diagnosed with that - most recover very well. You have to not buy into the fear and they have certainly go you in fear. >??What about measels, mumps or rubella??? I do not know much about these diseases. I was born in 1950. We all grew up with those diseases, born at that time and earlier and some time later. We all did just fine. Research shows very few children had any problem with measles, unless they had underlying serious health problems. Mumps is rarely a problem in anyone. Rubella only is a problem for some pregnant women and that seriousness for them is even questionable. >>I am in the process of reading some books and trying to find info online. However, I do know that I am also more fearful of diseases by going overseas. It is not a hotbed of disease overseas. I travel all the time and know my body and immune system can deal with most anything. Narrow it down- what do think will happen overseas? >>>> I guess what I do not understand is how these vaccines were designed to prevent these diseases that were killing so many people and most of what I am hearing here and on other sites is that by getting some of these diseases they can actually strenghten the immune system. Because our immune systems need practice to get strong - just like playing a piano - need practice to get good. >>> How can that be if they used to kill so many people? They didn' t use to kill so many people - that is propaganda. And those that did, were less problematic with bettered living conditions and water and sewage improvements. The death rate was way down for each disease with a vaccine associated with it BEFORE any vaccine came out. I will send the graphs. >>Also, if every stops getting vaccines, why should we not expect the diseases to come back and repeat history??? Vaccines did NOT stop the death rate from these diseases. You are saying all that they want you to say. all the programming they have done to us is being repeated here by you (and myself before I knew better). Prove to me that a vaccine works....... ..prove that it gives immunity. Prove to me that the death rate declined after the vaccine for a disease. It did NOT. The incidence of the disease has declined because it has made people to sick to get the acute disease. The body can only deal with one insult at a time. That's why you never saw a child with measles and mumps together. The body will produce symptoms for the stronger disease only. That's why we see people so deeply ill, chronically, with something like Alzheimers or Schizophrenia, never get acute illness. They just don't get sick. Not because they are so healthy, but because they are too sick on a deep level fighting that strong illness that they can't produce symtpoms showing evidence they have a cold or measles or whatever. >>>>>>>>>> I want to make sure everyone understand I am a VERY concerned parent. That is evident. >>> I do not think the vaccines are 100% safe but I also can not say I am totally against trying to vaccinate your kids to protect them against these deadly diseases. You cannot protect them with vaccines. You cannot inject disease material with accompanying toxins and expect health. You cannot bypass the normal route that a disease takes - the mouth & the nose first - and expect immunity. Only one part of the immune system is activated with a vaccine and that part causes a hyper state resulting in allergies and autoimmune illness. It does not give true immunity like a disease does that activates all parts of the immune system. >>I am on a very tight schedule for making this decision as my upcoming move depends on it. I also understand your point that the govt. can not make me give my kids the vaccines but they can prevent me from going overseas.... .they simply will not clear us. ARE you absolutely sure you can't go without vaccinating or just have accepted it as truth. I have never heard anyone else say this and I have worked with thousands and thousands of people who travel including travel with families and jobs. >>> If I put up a huge fight over it, I can foresee my hubby losing his job...... How do you know all of that? >>>That is why I am trying to find a better way to still vaccinate. I can't invent a better way for you and tell you there is a better way if there is not. >>> I think if I have to do it, How can you risk your children, Beth, when you don't even know for sure. You have just accepted this as real >>>>I should at least take the precautions to help reduce the risk. If I were to stay here in the states, I honestly most likely would not finish the vaccines...but since I am scheduled to go overseas, I have a little different view of it right now. I do not agrue the fact that vaccines are not 100% safe. Nothing is...but I also am not 100% on the complete no-vax Because you have not researched and you do not know the reality. >>>. Although, once again, I am not passing judgement on those who do not. I actually look up to you for being strong and taking a stand for what you believe. I think I will eventually get to the point of no-vax but I am just not there right now ( since i am moving overseas). >>>So, am I correct that you do not approve Dr. Sears book at all? Is there anyone else on this forum that feels the same as I do at this point?? Also, I will attach the info on the drops I was given by my ND. Or better yet, let me try to find you the link.... I have not read his book - only excerpts and read articles he has written. He is a bit two faced about it all. I just know when someone says there is a safe way to vaccinate then they are not telling the truth. I just know when someone says that vaccines give immunity,, they are not telling the truth. >>>>>>>>>>>> I am truely just trying to find info on doing what I an do the best way possible with what I have. You have not done the one thing that might keep you from having to go through this - investigate what you think are their demands that families have to be vaccinated. >>>I feel SO deeply for the families affected by autism. My good friend works with autistic kids and thier families. It is heartbreaking. ...my prayers and love goes out to each and every one of them..... and there are so many more damages from vaccines than just autism...... .......... ........ >>>>>> Here is the link: http://www.professi onalformulas. com/pchf_ catalog.htm it is on page 27 of the catalog and is over on the right hand side on the top. It is called Childhood Immunizations. >>>>>>>>> >> Beth - this is ludicrous - wishful thinking at best. I understand why you would be hopeful and why you might think they work, but not having a background in homeopathy you are not able to judge. You can take my word for it or not - this will NOT prevent any injury but they will make money selling it - so many products I saw there just make me sick. More people making money off of fear Here is what the product says: CHILDHOOD X32 IMMUNIZATION DROPS Provides homeopathic support of vaccination and assists the body with the ill effects from vaccination. Hepatitis A,B,C, 60X, 100X, 200X, Hib 60X, 100X, 200X, Varicella 60X, 100X, 200X, MMR 60X, 100X, 200X, DTP 60X, 100X, 200X, OPV 60X, 100X, 200X,Td 60X, 100X, 200X, Calcarea carbonica 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, Echinacea angustifolia 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, Malandrinum 30X, Silicea 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, Sulphur 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, Thuja occidentalis 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, Arsenicum album 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, purified water, 10% USP alcohol, 8% glycerin. 2 oz There is just no guarantee that these things will do anything to prevent anything. Throwing all of this at the vital force of the body violates every aspect of homeopathy which has laws and principles. If they told you to take this and you would be able to defy gravity, would you believe it? Homeopathy has laws that are just as inviolable as gravity is. And to expose the energy system of the body to all of these remedies is just not OK. But of course it is your choice. To listen to an expert in homeopathy or listen to someone who is not an expert and hope for the best. I know I am being firm here. But I have to tell the truth to all of you. I wish you peace and health with all of this Sheri ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

How do you know all of that? >>>That is why I am trying to find a better way to still vaccinate. I can't invent a better way for you and tell you there is a better way if there is not. >>> I think if I have to do it, How can you risk your children, Beth, when you don't even know for sure. You have just accepted this as real >>>>I should at least take the precautions to help reduce the risk. If I were to stay here in the states, I honestly most likely would not finish the vaccines...but since I am scheduled to go overseas, I have a little different view of it right now. I do not agrue the fact that vaccines are not 100% safe. Nothing is...but I also am not 100% on the complete no-vax Because you have not researched and you do not know the reality. >>>. Although, once again, I am not passing judgement on those who do not. I actually look up to you for being strong and taking a stand for what you believe. I think I will eventually get to the point of no-vax but I am just not there right now ( since i am moving overseas). >>>So, am I correct that you do not approve Dr. Sears book at all? Is there anyone else on this forum that feels the same as I do at this point?? Also, I will attach the info on the drops I was given by my ND. Or better yet, let me try to find you the link.... I have not read his book - only excerpts and read articles he has written. He is a bit two faced about it all. I just know when someone says there is a safe way to vaccinate then they are not telling the truth. I just know when someone says that vaccines give immunity,, they are not telling the truth. >>>>>>>>>>>> I am truely just trying to find info on doing what I an do the best way possible with what I have. You have not done the one thing that might keep you from having to go through this - investigate what you think are their demands that families have to be vaccinated. >>>I feel SO deeply for the families affected by autism.

It is called Childhood Immunizations. >>>>>>>>> >> Beth - this is ludicrous - wishful thinking at best. I understand why you would be hopeful and why you might think they work, but not having a background in homeopathy you are not able to judge. You can take my word for it or not - this will NOT prevent any injury but they will make money selling it - so many products I saw there just make me sick. More people making money off of fear Here is what the product says: CHILDHOOD X32 IMMUNIZATION DROPS Provides homeopathic support of vaccination and assists the body with the ill effects from vaccination. Hepatitis A,B,C, 60X, 100X, 200X, Hib 60X, 100X, 200X, Varicella 60X, 100X, 200X, MMR 60X, 100X, 200X, DTP 60X, 100X, 200X, OPV 60X, 100X, 200X,Td 60X, 100X, 200X, Calcarea carbonica 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, Echinacea angustifolia 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, Malandrinum 30X, Silicea 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, Sulphur 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, Thuja occidentalis 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, Arsenicum album 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, purified water, 10% USP alcohol, 8% glycerin. 2 oz There is just no guarantee that these things will do anything to prevent anything. Throwing all of this at the vital force of the body violates every aspect of homeopathy which has laws and principles. If they told you to take this and you would be able to defy gravity, would you believe it? Homeopathy has laws that are just as inviolable as gravity is. And to expose the energy system of the body to all of these remedies is just not OK. But of course it is your choice. To listen to an expert in homeopathy or listen to someone who is not an expert and hope for the best. I know I am being firm here. But I have to tell the truth to all of you.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I have been in this group a lot of years, and it is 99% supportive, but there is always one in every group... Hey, I partially vaccinated my first and I KNEW better, but when people are taught that doctors are gods, and do as they say, and it's the LAW and I will be in neglect...it gets intimidating. I finally said enough is enough, after finding this group, I stopped all the rest and my second son has had none. Yes, I feel bad I did my first, but.. no more! What's worse is someone that lost her daughter from vaccines, and SHE KNOWS IT, still vaccinates the next two she had after that?! Now THAT is scary how she is intimidated that much by doctors that she would still do it after she KNEW her second daughter died from vaccines!!!!

I am sure you know far more than I ever will about this topic...I thank you for your advice and support on this issue. >>> Sure - I know more than many because I have been so immersed in this and have read thousands and thousands of documents - mainstream as well as alternative. And I know all of you and see the terrible dangers of vaccines and the lies we all have been told and it makes me sick. Sick for all of you with injured children and chronic illness and lives ruined. >>>> I honestly can not point out a specific disease I am fearful of as I jsut started my research. You have to take one at a time and look carefully at each one. That's why I have the class to help you all as it is not easy to research each one. >>> However, there are still cases of polio around although not common. Don't just stop there - look at it. Look at the reality behind what polio really is and how vaccinating will NOT keep it from happening. >>> How about the Hep A & B???? Hep A is easily recovered from in most cases. Hardly something to vaccinate for, even if the vaccine did work. Hep B is a disease of blood usually in people with drug problems or involved with multiple sex partners, if you believe what they tell you about it. There is a huge possibility that what we know is not even true about Hep B. I was a nurse in ICU and had blood pour all over me many times from wounds, spurting blood vessels, blood transfusions spilling on me. I did not get hep b. Most people do not. And those that are diagnosed with that - most recover very well. You have to not buy into the fear and they have certainly go you in fear. >??What about measels, mumps or rubella??? I do not know much about these diseases. I was born in 1950. We all grew up with those diseases, born at that time and earlier and some time later. We all did just fine. Research shows very few children had any problem with measles, unless they had underlying serious health problems. Mumps is rarely a problem in anyone. Rubella only is a problem for some pregnant women and that seriousness for them is even questionable. >>I am in the process of reading some books and trying to find info online. However, I do know that I am also more fearful of diseases by going overseas. It is not a hotbed of disease overseas. I travel all the time and know my body and immune system can deal with most anything. Narrow it down- what do think will happen overseas? >>>> I guess what I do not understand is how these vaccines were designed to prevent these diseases that were killing so many people and most of what I am hearing here and on other sites is that by getting some of these diseases they can actually strenghten the immune system. Because our immune systems need practice to get strong - just like playing a piano - need practice to get good. >>> How can that be if they used to kill so many people? They didn' t use to kill so many people - that is propaganda. And those that did, were less problematic with bettered living conditions and water and sewage improvements. The death rate was way down for each disease with a vaccine associated with it BEFORE any vaccine came out. I will send the graphs. >>Also, if every stops getting vaccines, why should we not expect the diseases to come back and repeat history??? Vaccines did NOT stop the death rate from these diseases. You are saying all that they want you to say. all the programming they have done to us is being repeated here by you (and myself before I knew better). Prove to me that a vaccine works....... ..prove that it gives immunity. Prove to me that the death rate declined after the vaccine for a disease. It did NOT. The incidence of the disease has declined because it has made people to sick to get the acute disease. The body can only deal with one insult at a time. That's why you never saw a child with measles and mumps together. The body will produce symptoms for the stronger disease only. That's why we see people so deeply ill, chronically, with something like Alzheimers or Schizophrenia, never get acute illness. They just don't get sick. Not because they are so healthy, but because they are too sick on a deep level fighting that strong illness that they can't produce symtpoms showing evidence they have a cold or measles or whatever. >>>>>>>>>> I want to make sure everyone understand I am a VERY concerned parent. That is evident. >>> I do not think the vaccines are 100% safe but I also can not say I am totally against trying to vaccinate your kids to protect them against these deadly diseases. You cannot protect them with vaccines. You cannot inject disease material with accompanying toxins and expect health. You cannot bypass the normal route that a disease takes - the mouth & the nose first - and expect immunity. Only one part of the immune system is activated with a vaccine and that part causes a hyper state resulting in allergies and autoimmune illness. It does not give true immunity like a disease does that activates all parts of the immune system. >>I am on a very tight schedule for making this decision as my upcoming move depends on it. I also understand your point that the govt. can not make me give my kids the vaccines but they can prevent me from going overseas.... .they simply will not clear us. ARE you absolutely sure you can't go without vaccinating or just have accepted it as truth.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I feel every parent has a *right* and a *duty* to be scared at the notion of whether to vaccinate or not, and I applaud anyone who is seeking answers from both sides of the issue... Given the pressure that has been put on parents in certain states recently to vaccinate or go to jail, and the notion that CPS could be called on you by your ped for not vaxing is a horror. No parent wants to lose their child, and the allopathic medical community is highly trained to instill this fear in us. Sasha: Don't belittle or judge someone for wanting answers and continuting to question the rights and wrongs... every parent I know only wants the best for their child, period. Beth: I think it's commendable that you are willing to research this subject (which is what you're doing by being here with us on this list... RESEARCH -- searching for truthful answers) rather than blindly giving in to the allopathic medical establishment that only wants to make money off your children while putting them in harm's way -- and they are doing it out of ignorance most of the time, because they are not willing to take the steps you are currently taking to educate themselves. Do I think vaccines are safe? I am absolutely, 100% positive in MY MIND that they are not, cannot be, and never will be safe, period. Not a single one of them. But, I've been researching the issue for 2.5+ years, and had to go through the same thought processes that you (Beth) are going through to get to the point that I'm at now. I wasn't immediately there... I had to read and read and read and read some more. My gut said " don't vaccinate " and I listened to it, even though I wasn't completely informed yet. (My son has never had a single vaccination, and he's the healthiest kid on my block... there are 15 children in the culdesac I live in under the age of 5, and my son is the only one that did not come down with every bug known to man this last year, and the only one not to have a single ear infection over the winter.) Now, almost three years later, I'm so glad I listened to my gut, " mommy instinct " , or whatever you want to call it. Today, if a physician or anyone comes at my kids with an injection of ANY KIND, they WILL deal with my wrath. I will kick, scream, run, do whatever I have to do to keep my children safe from these vaccines at any cost. I'm as fearful of having my child vaccinated as most parents who have not taken the time to learn about the dangers but blindly follow the advice of their ignorant allopatic providers are at the notion of not vaccinating. One of the things I make sure to do is ALWAYS have my husband with me when we have to visit an allopathic doctor (I don't believe in " well-baby visits " , as they are solely designed to get you to vaccinate, and serve no other purpose, so I don't take my kids in unless there's something really wrong, like when my 2 year old inhaled a nut that had to be extracted from his bronchial tube via a scope under general anesthesia). After almost three years of research, I can back a doc down in 2 seconds flat if they try to bully me, but it's easier if my husband is there to keep a firm stance beside me... safety in numbers. My child has received regular monthly well-care from a chiropractor, by the way. He's been receiving this care since he was 2 days old.... Keeping the spine free of subluxations keeps the nerves unblocked, which helps the body function properly and, along with proper nutrition, is the best thing you can do for yourself or your children, IMO. In any event, the purpose of my response is to encourage you, Beth (and everyone else seeking the truth out there!), to continue to ask questions here, look at the information you're directed to, read the books that are recommended, and learn as much as you can. In the meantime, listen to your gut about the vaccines... you can always decide to vaccinate later, but you can NEVER undo an injection once it's given. I highly recommend taking Sheri's class on vaccines... it is chalked full of VERY GOOD (scientifically backed) information to help arm you in your stance against vaccines. I've been taking the class since Feb (even though I haven't yet turned in my assigments, sorry Sheri... I'm 8 months pregnant and also in school!), and I have learned SO SO much, even though I've been researching vaccines myself for the better part of 3 years. Continue to learn, and don't be disgruntled by one negative comment... we ARE here to support you. Peace, Light and Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Any of you remember Powder? The diet guru from the early/mid 90's that had an infomercial on late-night television? When I take a moment to step back from my research and look what's going on with the whole vaccine/anti-vaccine fight, I remember her words on that infomercial when referring to diet advice given that confuses people... " Eat grapefruit! ... DON'T eat grapefruit! ARGH! STOP THE MADNESS!! " LOL! I know it's silly, and sorry for the kind of OTness here, but that's now silly this issue is to me (now, because I now know fully what side to be on)... the real answers are out there, but we are so blinded by bigPharma and their trillions of dollars spent to brain wash us! Boy, if they'd only spend that kind of money to figure out how to clean up our streams and rivers and make the world less toxic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still fuming about it but I will not let her comments upset me...... THANK YOU for all your help and support. I am a well educated women who cares very deeply for my kids and am very concerned for thier health. I have recently been turned on to the natural healing and more natural ways of living. I have switched my cleaners and personal products to the natural one, I have switched to natural ways to get over colds, I have started to buy organic things and am getting my family away from eating so much processed foods, ect..... I truely am trying to make the best possible decisions when it comes to my family and our health. However, I am sure all of you know how difficult it can be to make the change and go against what is considered " the norm " of society. Please bare with me while I am researching and asking many questions....I just need to be sure of what I am doing and why!!!! Mavis, you and Shari have been great and I truely am grateful for coming in contact with both of you no matter what my final decision will be!!!!

I will not open any more of her emails........when I see them, they are deleted....immediately. Maybe Shari can do something about her but if not.....I am done with her. Would you mind if I ever had any questions to email your personally???? I know this support is mostly people who believe in the NO-VAX at all, and I know I am still on the fence about it but I truely believe I am in the right place to learn the best information possible. As I have told the others, bare with me while I learn....and thank you for understanding. The response of support over this has made me feel much better!!!!! Much Love, Beth Re: The lies about vaccination was New Member I feel every parent has a *right* and a *duty* to be scared at the notion of whether to vaccinate or not, and I applaud anyone who is seeking answers from both sides of the issue... Given the pressure that has been put on parents in certain states recently to vaccinate or go to jail, and the notion that CPS could be called on you by your ped for not vaxing is a horror. No parent wants to lose their child, and the allopathic medical community is highly trained to instill this fear in us. Sasha: Don't belittle or judge someone for wanting answers and continuting to question the rights and wrongs... every parent I know only wants the best for their child, period. Beth: I think it's commendable that you are willing to research this subject (which is what you're doing by being here with us on this list... RESEARCH -- searching for truthful answers) rather than blindly giving in to the allopathic medical establishment that only wants to make money off your children while putting them in harm's way -- and they are doing it out of ignorance most of the time, because they are not willing to take the steps you are currently taking to educate themselves. Do I think vaccines are safe? I am absolutely, 100% positive in MY MIND that they are not, cannot be, and never will be safe, period. Not a single one of them. But, I've been researching the issue for 2.5+ years, and had to go through the same thought processes that you (Beth) are going through to get to the point that I'm at now. I wasn't immediately there... I had to read and read and read and read some more. My gut said " don't vaccinate " and I listened to it, even though I wasn't completely informed yet. (My son has never had a single vaccination, and he's the healthiest kid on my block... there are 15 children in the culdesac I live in under the age of 5, and my son is the only one that did not come down with every bug known to man this last year, and the only one not to have a single ear infection over the winter.) Now, almost three years later, I'm so glad I listened to my gut, " mommy instinct " , or whatever you want to call it. Today, if a physician or anyone comes at my kids with an injection of ANY KIND, they WILL deal with my wrath. I will kick, scream, run, do whatever I have to do to keep my children safe from these vaccines at any cost. I'm as fearful of having my child vaccinated as most parents who have not taken the time to learn about the dangers but blindly follow the advice of their ignorant allopatic providers are at the notion of not vaccinating. One of the things I make sure to do is ALWAYS have my husband with me when we have to visit an allopathic doctor (I don't believe in " well-baby visits " , as they are solely designed to get you to vaccinate, and serve no other purpose, so I don't take my kids in unless there's something really wrong, like when my 2 year old inhaled a nut that had to be extracted from his bronchial tube via a scope under general anesthesia). After almost three years of research, I can back a doc down in 2 seconds flat if they try to bully me, but it's easier if my husband is there to keep a firm stance beside me... safety in numbers. My child has received regular monthly well-care from a chiropractor, by the way. He's been receiving this care since he was 2 days old.... Keeping the spine free of subluxations keeps the nerves unblocked, which helps the body function properly and, along with proper nutrition, is the best thing you can do for yourself or your children, IMO. In any event, the purpose of my response is to encourage you, Beth (and everyone else seeking the truth out there!), to continue to ask questions here, look at the information you're directed to, read the books that are recommended, and learn as much as you can. In the meantime, listen to your gut about the vaccines... you can always decide to vaccinate later, but you can NEVER undo an injection once it's given. I highly recommend taking Sheri's class on vaccines... it is chalked full of VERY GOOD (scientifically backed) information to help arm you in your stance against vaccines. I've been taking the class since Feb (even though I haven't yet turned in my assigments, sorry Sheri... I'm 8 months pregnant and also in school!), and I have learned SO SO much, even though I've been researching vaccines myself for the better part of 3 years. Continue to learn, and don't be disgruntled by one negative comment... we ARE here to support you.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Beth, You are certainly welcome to email me personally off-list anytime you like... that goes for anyone on the list. It has become my personal crusade over the past several years to help bring the truth about vaccines to light in anyway that I can... and that includes answering questions and offering support to anyone when it's needed.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Beth, Keep asking lots of questions. Others surely have the same ones. You know, some people know right off the bat they'll never vaccinate their kids, but many of us only came to that after our kids had problems. So, you are way ahead of the game compared to those of us who learned the hard way. It takes awhile to change your mindset from what you've been brought up to believe. I remember when I first realized how bad vaccines were. I knew I had to stop vaccinating my children, and did, but even then it took time to get over the fear those diseases. But the fear of vaccines was greater and became stronger as time went by. Even if I worried about the diseases, which I rarely even think about now, I know that vaccines aren't the answer. I think you need some time to really think this through and not to feel pressured either way. Good luck. Whatever you decide, it will be right because it will be your decision.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Apologize for the poster, Beth, that was rude. I read you were just in the beginning of your research, the poster must have glanced over that and read the rest below. Many are passionate in their stance, no matter what that stance is, but either way, renders no excuse. My apologies, and I know you'll find the continued support you are looking for, here.

I am sure you know far more than I ever will about this topic...I thank you for your advice and support on this issue. >>> Sure - I know more than many because I have been so immersed in this and have read thousands and thousands of documents - mainstream as well as alternative. And I know all of you and see the terrible dangers of vaccines and the lies we all have been told and it makes me sick. Sick for all of you with injured children and chronic illness and lives ruined. >>>> I honestly can not point out a specific disease I am fearful of as I jsut started my research. You have to take one at a time and look carefully at each one. That's why I have the class to help you all as it is not easy to research each one. >>> However, there are still cases of polio around although not common. Don't just stop there - look at it. Look at the reality behind what polio really is and how vaccinating will NOT keep it from happening. >>> How about the Hep A & B???? Hep A is easily recovered from in most cases. Hardly something to vaccinate for, even if the vaccine did work. Hep B is a disease of blood usually in people with drug problems or involved with multiple sex partners, if you believe what they tell you about it. There is a huge possibility that what we know is not even true about Hep B. I was a nurse in ICU and had blood pour all over me many times from wounds, spurting blood vessels, blood transfusions spilling on me. I did not get hep b. Most people do not. And those that are diagnosed with that - most recover very well. You have to not buy into the fear and they have certainly go you in fear. >??What about measels, mumps or rubella??? I do not know much about these diseases. I was born in 1950. We all grew up with those diseases, born at that time and earlier and some time later. We all did just fine. Research shows very few children had any problem with measles, unless they had underlying serious health problems. Mumps is rarely a problem in anyone. Rubella only is a problem for some pregnant women and that seriousness for them is even questionable. >>I am in the process of reading some books and trying to find info online. However, I do know that I am also more fearful of diseases by going overseas. It is not a hotbed of disease overseas. I travel all the time and know my body and immune system can deal with most anything. Narrow it down- what do think will happen overseas? >>>> I guess what I do not understand is how these vaccines were designed to prevent these diseases that were killing so many people and most of what I am hearing here and on other sites is that by getting some of these diseases they can actually strenghten the immune system. Because our immune systems need practice to get strong - just like playing a piano - need practice to get good. >>> How can that be if they used to kill so many people? They didn' t use to kill so many people - that is propaganda. And those that did, were less problematic with bettered living conditions and water and sewage improvements. The death rate was way down for each disease with a vaccine associated with it BEFORE any vaccine came out. I will send the graphs. >>Also, if every stops getting vaccines, why should we not expect the diseases to come back and repeat history??? Vaccines did NOT stop the death rate from these diseases. You are saying all that they want you to say. all the programming they have done to us is being repeated here by you (and myself before I knew better). Prove to me that a vaccine works....... ..prove that it gives immunity. Prove to me that the death rate declined after the vaccine for a disease. It did NOT. The incidence of the disease has declined because it has made people to sick to get the acute disease. The body can only deal with one insult at a time. That's why you never saw a child with measles and mumps together. The body will produce symptoms for the stronger disease only. That's why we see people so deeply ill, chronically, with something like Alzheimers or Schizophrenia, never get acute illness. They just don't get sick. Not because they are so healthy, but because they are too sick on a deep level fighting that strong illness that they can't produce symtpoms showing evidence they have a cold or measles or whatever. >>>>>>>>>> I want to make sure everyone understand I am a VERY concerned parent. That is evident. >>> I do not think the vaccines are 100% safe but I also can not say I am totally against trying to vaccinate your kids to protect them against these deadly diseases. You cannot protect them with vaccines. You cannot inject disease material with accompanying toxins and expect health. You cannot bypass the normal route that a disease takes - the mouth & the nose first - and expect immunity. Only one part of the immune system is activated with a vaccine and that part causes a hyper state resulting in allergies and autoimmune illness. It does not give true immunity like a disease does that activates all parts of the immune system. >>I am on a very tight schedule for making this decision as my upcoming move depends on it. I also understand your point that the govt. can not make me give my kids the vaccines but they can prevent me from going overseas.... .they simply will not clear us. ARE you absolutely sure you can't go without vaccinating or just have accepted it as truth. I have never heard anyone else say this and I have worked with thousands and thousands of people who travel including travel with families and jobs. >>> If I put up a huge fight over it, I can foresee my hubby losing his job...... How do you know all of that? >>>That is why I am trying to find a better way to still vaccinate. I can't invent a better way for you and tell you there is a better way if there is not. >>> I think if I have to do it, How can you risk your children, Beth, when you don't even know for sure. You have just accepted this as real >>>>I should at least take the precautions to help reduce the risk. If I were to stay here in the states, I honestly most likely would not finish the vaccines...but since I am scheduled to go overseas, I have a little different view of it right now. I do not agrue the fact that vaccines are not 100% safe. Nothing is...but I also am not 100% on the complete no-vax Because you have not researched and you do not know the reality. >>>. Although, once again, I am not passing judgement on those who do not. I actually look up to you for being strong and taking a stand for what you believe. I think I will eventually get to the point of no-vax but I am just not there right now ( since i am moving overseas). >>>So, am I correct that you do not approve Dr. Sears book at all? Is there anyone else on this forum that feels the same as I do at this point?? Also, I will attach the info on the drops I was given by my ND. Or better yet, let me try to find you the link.... I have not read his book - only excerpts and read articles he has written. He is a bit two faced about it all. I just know when someone says there is a safe way to vaccinate then they are not telling the truth. I just know when someone says that vaccines give immunity,, they are not telling the truth. >>>>>>>>>>>> I am truely just trying to find info on doing what I an do the best way possible with what I have. You have not done the one thing that might keep you from having to go through this - investigate what you think are their demands that families have to be vaccinated. >>>I feel SO deeply for the families affected by autism. My good friend works with autistic kids and thier families. It is heartbreaking. ...my prayers and love goes out to each and every one of them..... and there are so many more damages from vaccines than just autism...... .......... ........ >>>>>> Here is the link: http://www.professi onalformulas. com/pchf_ catalog.htm it is on page 27 of the catalog and is over on the right hand side on the top. It is called Childhood Immunizations. >>>>>>>>> >> Beth - this is ludicrous - wishful thinking at best. I understand why you would be hopeful and why you might think they work, but not having a background in homeopathy you are not able to judge. You can take my word for it or not - this will NOT prevent any injury but they will make money selling it - so many products I saw there just make me sick. More people making money off of fear Here is what the product says: CHILDHOOD X32 IMMUNIZATION DROPS Provides homeopathic support of vaccination and assists the body with the ill effects from vaccination. Hepatitis A,B,C, 60X, 100X, 200X, Hib 60X, 100X, 200X, Varicella 60X, 100X, 200X, MMR 60X, 100X, 200X, DTP 60X, 100X, 200X, OPV 60X, 100X, 200X,Td 60X, 100X, 200X, Calcarea carbonica 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, Echinacea angustifolia 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, Malandrinum 30X, Silicea 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, Sulphur 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, Thuja occidentalis 3X, 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, Arsenicum album 6X, 9X, 12X, 30X, 60X, purified water, 10% USP alcohol, 8% glycerin. 2 oz There is just no guarantee that these things will do anything to prevent anything. Throwing all of this at the vital force of the body violates every aspect of homeopathy which has laws and principles. If they told you to take this and you would be able to defy gravity, would you believe it? Homeopathy has laws that are just as inviolable as gravity is. And to expose the energy system of the body to all of these remedies is just not OK. But of course it is your choice. To listen to an expert in homeopathy or listen to someone who is not an expert and hope for the best. I know I am being firm here. But I have to tell the truth to all of you. I wish you peace and health with all of this Sheri ~~~sasha~~~ ------------ --------- --------- --- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'm so glad that I'm not alone! In my research, locally in my area even, I'm finding that there is a huge movement of parents against vaccines. It's very comforting. My biggest worry seems to be what will happen if I have to take my daughter to the hospital. Will they treat her? I am in Ohio and am fortunate to have the 3 options for exemption at schools. But, there's still the worry if parents will let their kids play with mine. But I've got awhile for that and deep down I know that I'm doing the right thing and I'm glad that this group exists for support. > > > > Just wanted to let you know that when I read that comment, I was > not sure > > what she was referring to.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have never had my child turned down for treatment anywhere. I am usually asked something like " and I'm sure your child is up to date with vaccines " and I just say " oh, we don't do those, " as if no one in their right mind would. They were probably more concerned that I was nursing a toddler and refusing Tylenol for whatever ailed them. And all the parents of my kids' friends are aware that I'm anti-vaccine--lots of playdates, and lots of thanks for making them aware of the dangers. They don't all agree with me but many confide they always worried about reactions but thought they had to vaccinate for school entry. As the kids get older, I think you'll find most parents don't think as much about vaccines. By then, you'll have living proof that you were right not to vaccinate.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Winnie - very well put. I also think you are exactly right that when the kids get older, vaccines do not seem like such a big deal to parents. I have no idea what the percentage is but I would not be surprised if most parents after the shots to get into school if they stopped them also. Maybe not because they are anti-vaccine but just because they are mostly boosters and most teenagers and adults do not do them. This makes me wonder then why we give them to our kids....if we do not get the boosters as we get older and the vaccine wears off and we are no longer protected anyways, why take the chance to give them to our babies???? Another reason for me to think twice about doing anymore with my kids.....

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Here are my experiences on the subject of other parents and vaccine issues, and hospitals and vaccine issues: 1. I've never been asked by a parent if my child is up-to-date on his shots. They only find out I'm no-vax if I offer the information voluntarily. I don't usually bring it up, unless I get a comment like " Why is your child never sick? Seems like mine is ALWAYS sick! " My answer is always that he was breastfed exclusively for the first 8 months of his life, and he still breastfeeds now, at 26 months. 2. I've been promising I'd post this story, and here it is: My son inhaled part of a pistachio on Christmas night. We rushed him to the nearby Urgent Care facility (only about 5 blocks away, and it was snowing like crazy at the time). The urgent care doc never even asked if we were current with our shots... they just did a quick intake on him and took him back to the exam room. At that time the doc felt pretty sure my son hadn't actually inhaled any of the nut, even though he was wheezing. He proceeded to prescribe antibiotics for him and sent us home. After several visits with a pediatrician (my 2 year old actually ASKED me to take him to the doctor), where I'd tell them my son is NOT sick, does NOT need antibiotics, is wheezing because he has a foreign body in his lungs, one ped decided I may be right when she could not hear breath sounds in his right lung. (At every visit they'd casually mention " Oh yeah, you don't vaccinate. " , but never made a huge deal over it.) She immediately sent us to the local Children's Hospital to have it investigated further. At the hospital, during intake they asked if he was up-to-date on his shots, to which I replied " Well, he's up-to-date according to MY schedule, which is we don't vaccinate. " They didn't even flinch.. just noted it in the file and went on with the other questions. Not once was it ever mentioned that they would refuse to admit him because of the vaccine issue. Of course, the x-ray didn't show anything in the lungs, because x-rays don't pick up things such as nuts.... the doctors that examined my son that day thought I was being a paranoid parent, and didn't think anything was wrong with my son because he was all smiles, walking around (not running like normal though... if he tried to run, he'd take two steps and plop to the ground, completely out of breath) and flirting with the nurses. They sent us home and said they'd call to schedule something for us in the next couple of weeks. Here I was in my 2nd trimester of pregnancy, sitting up all night every night with my son, holding him in a semi-upright position so that he could breathe with a foreign body in his lungs, while I was not sleeping a wink for fear if I fell asleep he'd quit breathing altogether and I'd lose him. This had been going on for a month while I was trying to convince someone to help us, and I was NOT going to wait another 2 weeks for something to be done about it. So, I called the ear-nose-throat department at the hospital and BUGGED them... not daily, but HOURLY that day after we got home from the hospital. They finally called me back that same afternoon (a Friday) and scheduled us in for the following Tuesday for an " exploratory bronc " -- because they were just SO SURE I was wrong and they weren't REALLY going to find that anything had been aspirated. During admittance to the hospital for surgery, nothing was ever mentioned about the vaccine issue. It really was a non-issue the whole time. The frustration for me was that no one believed me that my son had inhaled a pistachio, even though I SAW him inhale it. They even had my husband, who also witnessed him inhale it, convinced that it was in our heads.... even while I was carrying my crying two-year-old to the ER to watch him be put under general anesthesia, the surgeon proceeded to tell me they weren't going to find anything and treated me like I was putting my child through undue stress for nothing. The hardest thing I've ever done in my life is hold my child down on the operating table while he squirmed and cried as they were putting him under with a gas mask.... I was so offended they thought I'd let him endure that for nothing. Less than thirty minutes later, the surgeon emerged from the ER to the lobby to find me, with a cup in her hand... it had the pistachio piece in it. She saved it, and even took pictures " for the baby book " . How nice of her.... The surgeon escorted my husband and me to my son's bedside in recovery where he was just coming too. When he saw me he immediately asked to nurse, so I sat down in the rocking chair and began to nurse him. The nurses and surgeon were almost dumbfounded that my two-year-old settled right down and began to nurse with no problems, and seemed to be coming out of the anesthesia so easily. It was then that the surgeon finally got a look of guilt over her face, and commended me for still nursing after two years -- like that was the first time she was convinced I was actually a good mom. She stated she thought that's why he handled the surgery so well and why he was recovering so quickly from the anesthesia. I was thinking in the back of my mind.... well, yeah.... that and the fact that I haven't vaccinated him to make his lungs and immune system suppressed. But I didn't say that out loud, I just let it be. By the time we got home from the hospital that night, you couldn't even tell my kiddo had been through surgery that day. He was eating everything in sight, as he had gone almost 24 hours with no food or breast milk (which is why he was crying as I took him to the ER... he'd been begging me to nurse him). The next day he was back to RUNNING everywhere he went, and he hasn't stopped running since! The purpose of telling this story is two-fold. First, don't be afraid that a hospital or medical facility won't treat your child because they haven't been vaccinated. Honestly, even I was surprised at how NOT an issue it was, and I was fully prepared to go in fighting and clawing on the subject... I didn't have to. Secondly, if you KNOW something isn't right with your child, don't let a health care provider convince you you're wrong and that they know your child better than you do. That's just absurd. Stand your ground and be firm about your child's health care... both when they don't need something that is being pushed in your face AND when they truly NEED intervention. Another case in point along these same lines: My neighbor, who knows my whole story, took her 21 month old to the doctor a few weeks ago because he seemed to be wincing in pain a lot, and covering his groin area when getting diaper changes, as if he was in pain. Their pediatrician told the mom that the little boy was just " vying for attention, all boys do that " (21 MONTHS OLD... COME ON!!!) and there was absolutely nothing wrong with him. My neighbor told me that if she had not known my story, and how hard I had to press to have my child taken care of, she would have believed the doctor and dropped the subject. But because she knew in her gut that her child wasn't trying to get attention, but truly seemed to be in pain, she decided to take him to another doctor for a 2nd opinion. That doctor actually ran tests, and last week, her child went in to surgery for a hernia repair..... he'd had the hernia since birth. He's a different kid today, running around and playing and energetic. I've been babysitting him for a year, and I've never seen him with so much energy... he can keep up with my kid now! Thank goodness she listened to her mommy instinct, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Oh, and in point one of my previous post, I also let all those wondering parents know that I don't vaccinate my child when they ask why he's so healthy... but I never offer any more information than that unless they ask. I don't like talking to brick walls... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
