Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Cherie, I live in Central PA too. You can e-mail me off list to give me more information the situation. I personally have not vaccinated and had titers checked. I believe Hershey Medical Center will order them. When I was going to vaccinate the second time of MMR, I was going to do so through them.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 If you want to get the vaccinations, I would read the labels first. There have been postings here this past week of people reading the inserts that come with the vaccinations and finding thermerasol on the ingredients. You can also ask for single dose vials to be used, those usually have no thermerasol. You may also get a religious exemption and not have to give them at all. If I were you, I would read a book about vaccinations before making your decision. You don’t have to do it now. Two authors that I have read are Cave, MD and Neil because there are many side effects (as you know) besides thermisol that that can give you many more problems and other ingredients that are used to make the vaccinations that aren’t much better than the thermerasol. I know I am NOT getting my kids vaccinated anymore after reading everything from this group and the books. Most of the diseases that are being vaccinated for are not life threatening, if your children are healthy, or there isn’t much risk of your kids getting it. M [ ] vaccines Hi My name is , I have an 8 year old son with Asperger's Syndrome and a 10 year old son with severe ADHD. My 5 year old daughter starts school this year and I went to the health department to ask if they have vaccines w.out Thimerasaul<sp> The nurse informed me that there are no longer preservatives in childrens vaccines. Is this true? I told her I would still want to read the package label and ingrediants before they adminster the vaccines to my daughter. Is there a way for me to find out for sure that it is safe? I know the real danger lays with the MMR and earlier shots but of coarse I am still very weary of them all now that I have been rudly awakened by my sons issues and the side effects they face on a daily basis from being poisoned w/ mercury. thankyou ======================================================= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 It was my understanding that the thimerasol was " taken out " of infant vaccines. I beleive an 8 yr. old would get adult vaccines which have the full load of mercury. You would need to read the package inserts to know. But honestly, I don't know that I could trust the package inserts. There are other toxins in vaccines besides mercury, you may want to do some research before giving your daughter vaccines. For my NT daughter I wrote a religious exemption when she started kindergarten last year. > Hi My name is , > I have an 8 year old son with Asperger's Syndrome and a 10 year old > son with severe ADHD.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Mercury and other toxins are a major concern, the vaccines may not list mercury but are still processed using the product. There are bound to be small amounts. Another highly neurotoxic ingredient is aluminum. There are also DNA and RNA from other animals as well in some of the vaccines. That has been implicated in the spread of simian viruses including one that causes cancer. Though the biggest concern is mercury, it isn't the only one. Other than that...another thing to think about is that the whole vaccine process. Our autistic kids do not react normally to toxins of any sort, they also do not have great immune function. Giving any vaccine is going to challenge the immune system in a way that we can't know. With so many disorders and diseases being tied to vaccines I wouldn't even consider giving a vaccine unless I thought they were in imminent danger of contracting the disease. Definitely read the package inserts, people are still finding mercury in vaccines. Check out some of the vaccine sites, they can tell you better what is really in those things and the history behind them.

You can get preliminary info here, but check the actual shots also http://www.vaccinesafety.edu/package_inserts.htm >>I know the real danger lays with the MMR > and earlier shots Nope, potential danger with all of them.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I agree with many of the others...there are other harmful things in the vaccines. And....I have seen reports where they have tested " so called THimerosal free vaccines " only to find out its still in there. For my little guy were are not doing the vaccines. Every state has its own exemptions so if thats something you might consider please look into that.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I got a flu shot while on Remicade and thought I was going to die. Within 24 hours I had an ear infection that was horrendous, then I was put on high powered antibiotics, and things went continuously downhill to the point where I would have willingly died. Then the doctor suspected I'd developed lymphoma on top of it. I'll never have another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Susye, Not a stupid question! A titer will determine if you have the antibody but not necessarily immunity. IE: I had my non ASD child's MMR titers checked because at 5 they want to give the second dose because 5% don't become immune the first time around. He has plenty of MMR antibodies 3 1/2 years later from the initial MMR. Doctors can give you a medical exemption if they show positive antibodies based on the testing. Our children receive immunity from us during pregnancy. I would guess that this would continue if you are still breastfeeding. Here is a good link about vaccination http://www.tacanow.com/vrules.htm Jackie--- > I have a stupid question.....what do you mean when you talk about a titer > (sp?).

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I think you are going to get a big mix of responses to your post. never really lost speech, she simply ... stalled. She said " mama " and " dada " on time and then said " hi " and that was about it. She would say a word or a phrase very clearly and then never say it again (a HUGE red flag for apraxia). I do not attribute her apraxia to vaccines, personally. She never had an adverse reaction (one, she was very tired and slept for 4 hours afterward, but that's about it) of any kind to vaccines. Others might have different stories, but that is ours. Hope that helps!

I'm new to this message board, so please excuse me if this subject has already been hashed out. I've heard little snippets here and there about vaccines possibly causing apraxia and other neurological disorders. I've read a few articles, but I'm really more interested in real peoples experiences. While we don't have an official diagnosis, it looks as though my 20 month old has verbal apraxia. At 12 months she was saying a few words, but lost that ability shortly thereafter. We were pretty anti vaccine, but were forced into it later, so she didnt' have her first round of vaccines until 9 months. She had her second round at around 12 months. While we can't pinpoint it, we know that her word usage dropped off sometime between 13 and 15 months. I was just wondering - how many of you attribute your childs apraxia to vaccines? Also, and maybe this is false hope, have any of you heard of a traumatic event causing voluntary muteness? My daughter was really sick and hospitalized, and then a week later diagnosed with a kidney disease that involved alot of invasive tests for weeks on end. This is also about when she quit talking.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I don't know if a loss of language is common for kids with just apraxia (I haven't heard of it), but regression in language is quite common in kids with ASD. Both my kids were diagnosed with ASD, and the youngest with apraxia as well. Your daughter sounds like my little one - she was saying " Mama " , " Dada " , and a few other words at 12 months, and then lost them between 13-15 months. We spent months on early intervention speech therapy without her gaining any words, and then she was diagnosed right when she turned 2. I've always thought that the same triggers may produce both disorders, and that genetic susceptibility plays a role as well. So I wouldn't be surprised if at least for some kids with apraxia, vaccines were a contributing factor. I think kids with apraxia can be helped greatly by the Dan protocol. My daughter is a great success story - she has lost her diagnoses and her neurologist thinks she is just fine. Without the treatment of a Dan doctor, I am sure she would still have language (and other) issues. > > Ok.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Hi, Without getting into it too much, I do think that many apraxic and autistic kids were harmed by vaccines. I suspect that my daughter's apraxia was partly caused by the thimerosal in flu shots. As far as the traumatic event causing voluntary mutism...I've never heard of it, but wouldn't count it out. BUT, there are some parents on this board (myself included) whose children regressed during or immediately following an illness. For my daughter, it was just after she had an illness with a high fever for several days. I suspect a virus played a part in her (now almost completely resolved) apraxia. Kerri > > Ok.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Here are two sites where you can gather information and make your own decision. This is a tough decision. The best you can do is make an informed one, I think. http://www.mothering.com/discussions/forumdisplay.php?f=47 www.909shot.com May I ask how you were forced into vaccinating? What state do you live in? In PA, where we live, we have the right to religious exemption and no one can deny us that for school, daycare, etc Kathleen PS I would not look to the CDC for information. THere are more than a few people who work there AND hold finanical stock/patents on vaccines. This is a huge conflict of interest that has been and is still an issue in our Congress. > > Ok.

Both my kids were diagnosed with ASD, and the youngest with apraxia as well. Your daughter sounds like my little one - she was saying " Mama " , " Dada " , and a few other words at 12 months, and then lost them between 13-15 months. We spent months on early intervention speech therapy without her gaining any words, and then she was diagnosed right when she turned 2. I've always thought that the same triggers may produce both disorders, and that genetic susceptibility plays a role as well. So I wouldn't be surprised if at least for some kids with apraxia, vaccines were a contributing factor. I think kids with apraxia can be helped greatly by the Dan protocol. My daughter is a great success story - she has lost her diagnoses and her neurologist thinks she is just fine. Without the treatment of a Dan doctor, I am sure she would still have language (and other) issues. > > Ok.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 A DAN doctor is a doctor who focuses on treating the medical problems of children with autism. If you google the Autism Research Institute, you'll find a listing of (self-reported) DAN doctors. I recommend that you join one of the medical autism and ask for recommendations from parents in your area (abmd, gfcfkids, csb-autism-rx, etc). > > > > Ok.
