Re: 31 NEW members this week! Please introduce yourself!

My name is and I'm a vet tech for a municipal animal

shelter in central Texas. I'm 26 years old and have a basset hound,

dsh orange and white tabby (cat), parakeet, ball python, new

caledonian crested gecko and leopard gecko. I've been a vet tech for

two years and those two years have been a very eye opening experience

for me as far as allopathic medicine, nutrition and vaccinations in

my pets goes (my animals are now treated homeopathically, raw fed a

prey model diet and are no longer vaccinated). I know a lot about how

vaccines impact my animals' health but I'd really like to know more

about how vaccines impact human health, as well. I knew virtually

nothing about human vaccines until a couple weeks ago when I

purchased The Vaccine Guide by Randall Neustaedter (which is a GREAT

book, btw!) which has now begun my journey into educating myself

about human vaccines. Because of what I already knew about

vaccinations in pets, I've elected to not vaccinate myself for rabies

(which I have a very real possibility of coming into contact with due

to the nature of my job) and my husband has elected to not vaccinate

himself for his upcoming trip to India!

By joining this list I hope to further educate myself for the sake of

myself, my husband and my potential future children so I don't make

the same mistakes with them that I made with my pets!

Welcome .

How wonderful that you and your husband are on the same page and that you have

discovered the benefits of appropriate diet and homoeopathy before you conceive.

I wishes were horses...[wistful sigh!]

It will be a fine day when this group isn't necessary any more!

Best wishes,

Hi - I'm . I live with my husband and children in California.

(I feel silly introducing myself as I have been posting and replying

to others for several days now!) Anyway - I am so glad to have found

this group. I have learned so much over the past few days.

I have a friend with 2 vaccine damaged children. It is so obvious to

me, yet she cannot stop vaccinating. It is so frustrating to watch.

I'm from a family of 12 and the younger 7 were not vaccinated. I was

partially vaccinated (until my parents learned better) I have really

bad allergies and am miserable for 2-3 months every year. If there

is a connection with vaccines and allergies and that is the only

thing I save my children from having, I will be happy.

My dad is an MD and said to me years ago that vaccines were harmful,

but of course, I couldn't just take his word for it! (That would

be too easy.) I only now am starting to appreciate what I have

learned from him over the years.

My 5 children range from 1 1/2 years to 7 yrs. My husband was

originally against not vaccinating when we had our first child. We

agreed to at least wait a couple of years before deciding. Over

time, over lots of reading, seeing how healthy our kids are, he has

softened. I still have to " defend " our decision to his family who

feel like it is their mission in life to educate us. So I have made

it my mission to " arm " myself with as much information as possible so

I can properly defend our decision. I'm so tired of his whole family

acting like we are crazy and selfish for not vaccinating. The

main " thorn in my side " is my husband's brother. He is a research

biologist who sends us 10 page emails (with all the same old blah

blah defenses of vaccines) and more recently posted a Vaccine

Research Paper on his blog! How boring is that?! We knew it was

obviously for us, so we ignored it.

We also are the only family (on his side)that has any notion of what

a wholesome diet is. I'm hoping that some of my husband's younger

siblings will start to ask questions as their babies start coming. I

hope to be better prepared to answer questions. Just reading up on

what you all have written, I feel like I already am. What a great

resourse this group is!

Hi!

I am Niti from Michigan. I have a 5 yr old boy who is fully

vaccinated, except for the chicken pox shots. He has eczema (since 4

months of age) and many food allergies. My younger son, who is 7

months old has not been vaccinated. I initially decided to delay his

vaccines till he was 6 months old. My reasoning was that since the

AAP advises delaying the introduction of solids till the child is 6

months (if have family history of allergies), the vaccines, which are

in a cocktail of strong chemicals should be also delayed for a

similar time frame. I happened to google vaccines just before his 6

month appointment and was totslly shocked by all the info I received.

I wish I had known all this when my older son was getting his shots.

I suspect the vaccines are directly or indirectly responsible for his

eczema and allergies. I'm so glad I found this site, I am slowly

going through all the information listed here.

My younger son does not have any eczema so far. I have decided not to

vaccinate him with most of the vaccines. But I am on the fence

regarding 3 vaccines: the polio, diphtheria and tetanus vaccines,

since the diseases are so severe. We are planning a trip to India

next summer and these diseases are still prevalant there. We might

cancel if necessary, but like my husband pointed out, the kids need

to know and spend time with their grandparents and aunts/uncles. I

would appreciate some advice on this. Has anyone taken their kids to

a developing country where these diseases are still prevalent? We

would be spending about 1 month over there and my son gets these

shots, it will be when he is 1 yr old, one shot at a time.

Thanks

Hi Niti, Not sure if this will help,but it may be worth a try. My

oldest daughter (7 now)was never vaccinated but she still had exzema

(not super bad). It went away completely about a year ago when I put

her on Vit E supplement (one capsule a day) plus an a/d combination 2-

3x a week (just one) and cod liver oil every day. Not an exact

amount - but then when it goes away, I stop giving her the e, a/d

regularly - maybe just once a week. The cod liver I try to do at

least 3 x a week regularly. When it starts to come back I go back to

giving her more of the e, a, d. Along with C too.

About the shots, read Sheri's articles. They just lower your overall

immunity.

Hi, Niti. Good thing you caught onto what undoubtedly is behind your older son's

problems.

As far the three vaccines you're on the fence about, realize that worry over

those diseases does not mean the vaccines will work. However, the side effects

of the vaccines can be very serious (all vaccines carry the risk of death) and

are taken on immediately once you vaccinate. The bad effects of any disease are

NOT taken on if you don't vaccinate. First, you have to be exposed, then you

have to actually come down with the disease.

Just something to think about.

Thank you for your suggestions. My son takes a multivitamin (Rainbow

light ) which has vit. E (10 IU). Does he need more than that? I

would like to give him the cod liver oil as well, but am hesitant

since his allergist has told to avoid fish (I think its a strong

allergen). I can ask him to test for fish during his next allergy

testing.
