Re: my experiences... *immunizations*

[Guest guest]

Responding in the middle of this thread, hope I am not repeating too much. This

is just my experiences.

I have four children and none have been vaccinated for anything. I would agree

to not vaccinate. Vaccinations can be done at any age, it is a decision you can

decide to wait on. I especially wonder why they want to vaccinate a newborn,

when their immune system is not developed yet, the immune system is not fully

developed until about 6 months old. How can the immune system fight off all

these diseases we are giving them when it is not functioning fully yet?

The key with diseases is to strengthen the immune system and let it work for you

and your children. This is the responsible approach.

My children this last August had whooping cough. Their ages were 3, 4, 6, and 9.

The oldest did not get it, my older pediatrics book says that most children

after the age of 9 will not get Whooping Cough. I did not take them into the

doctor at all, I feel that would be irresponsible in some sense as they were

highly contagious. I do know for a fact it was whooping cough - the person we

were exposed to, a 2 year old girl, ended up in the hospital with it. (the

doctors were at first giving her antibiotics for bronchitis which is probably

why she ended up with a bad case of pertusis)

Anyway, my youngest had gotten it the worst and had 5 coughing episodes a day

during the heavy times. I did give them Mullien for lung support. The coughing

part can last up to a year after the sickness is over. But my three girls had

ceased to have any coughing attacks within two months. The other child, who had

whooping cough in July and ended up in the hospital, during December was still

having 5 coughing episodes a day.

The three girls then had chicken pox in October. Only one contracted the actual

rash, the other two had the fever. According to a health professional long as

they get the fever they are immune.

My children's immune systems are quite strong and I really think this is the

key.

The immune system is not fully developed until between 6 and 7 years. It is the

intestinal flora that develops at 6 months.

wow, my old chiropractor told me 6 months. That was why she wanted every mom to

breastfeed until at least 6 months because of the immunities in the breastmilk

for the baby.
