Pediatricians need more education

[Guest guest]

Scenerio: I am in my son's pediatrician's office for the specific purpose of getting him to order labs on my son that have to be completed before we travel across country to see Dr. Goldberg, keeping in mind that he thinks I am a crazy lunatic for doing bio-medical treatments. This goes on for two hours of me waiting and him stepping in to say we are trying to find the codes to order the tests since this is not something we have ever done before and his next question to me is would you like to give him the flu shot while you are here? I looked at him with a look on my face that I am pretty sure scared him and said, " Are you kidding me?" " I think you know we do not want to even go there." Then through the paper thin walls I hear him talking to another mother of a child with

autism diagnosis telling her the usual song and dance about the Myers Center for Autism and how pretty much the only alternative is therapy for him. The next thing I hear is the child screaming and the nurse and mother saying its ok, these "shots" (vacinnations) will make you all well one day. I was heart broken that the poor mother was so uninformed about the dangers of vacinnating her child who already has a damaged immune system and now making things more toxic. With the rise of diagnosis of developmental disorders, I just can not imagine why the American Academy of Pediatrics is not exploring the realm of testing these children's titers before vacinnating them to see if their immune system is compromised. Seems pretty simple to me. My son was never vacinnated because I did my research before becomming pregnant, I do not want to think about how much worse he may have been if I had. Bottom line, there needs to

be more education out there!
