If he got an antibiotic and reacted similarly they would jump thru hoops and tell you to never get another antibiotic. not so with vaccines. According to them it is never vaccines.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I personally would not get them. Vaccines are not at all as safe as they proclaim them to be. My 7 yr old son has autism. You can get an exemption easily enough from getting them, either philosophical or religious in all states except Mississippi and West Virginia where you have to have a Medical exemption. Please do more research before going through with this. The MMR and DTap are multiple vaccines and may have contributed to her seizures starting in the first place from previous vaccinations. >>> wsmomkim@... 4/24/2006 8:36:49 PM >>> Hi Everone, I need some advice! My daughter is 5 and has complex partial seizures. She was diagnosed two years ago. She has had about 16 since then with an average of about 5 weeks apart. Hers always have happenned first thing when she wakes up in the morning. She is on Trileptal 12.5 mls per day. So my question is...She is suppossed to get her shots soon in order to start kindergarten. She will get the DTaP, IPV and MMR. I have been reading that some people don't give their child these because they might aggravate the seizures. I just don't know what to do. Has anyone had any experience with this or know anything? I don't want to give them to her if they are going to aggravate the seizures but I don't want her not to have them and then have her get sick. Her neurologist said it is f ine and to just give her Tylenol before hand so she dosn't get a fever. But I am not thinking fever, I am thinking if this will bother the epilepsy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Here is a link to all the manufacturer's package inserts (not the fluff stuff they give you at the doctor's office). You can read for yourself the ingredients (formaldehyde, monkey kidneys, aborted human fetal cells, neomyocin, aluminum, etc) and contraindications (see that the DTaP causes a 2.4% increase in seizures in kids with a history of seizures). If you decide not to give your dd anymore shots, you will need an exemption for school. I would not try for a medical exemption. Most doctors are so gung-ho about vaxes that it is rare to find one who would give you an exemption. And even then, the exemption is only for specific vaxes and it has to be renewed every year - so you would be at the whim of your doc. Best to get a religious exemption. You do not need to belong to any specific religious organization. These are your own personal religious beliefs (in that the divine being- by whatever name you use - created us with an immune system and does not wish us to mess around with a healthy body but to trust in him/her for our health.) Doesn't matter that your child has already had vaxes, either. A religious epiphany can occur at anytime. If you would like help in finding out what you need to do to obtain an exemption in your state, please feel free to email me personally. I have helped several other moms on another messageboard. A couple books I would recommend on the subject are " Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective? " by Neil Z (is pretty up to date and goes over each vaccine), and " Raising a Vaccine Free Child " by Lydall (talks about the history of vaxes and the diseases they are supposed to prevent). If you aren't sure, then cancel any doctor visits until you have a chance to do your research and feel sure about your decision. -Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I got the big vaccine lecture from the surgeon today. My daughter has cochlear implants and her chances of getting meningitis are much higher than ordinary kids. If she does get meningitis, and gets very sick, then they have to take her cochlear implants out and can't put them back in. This would be a huge tragedy. She is deaf and her implants make it so she can hear - and she is growing like a normal kid, going to mainstream kindergarten next year. She doesn't seem to have a leaky gut. she does seem to have gut disbiosis/yeast. she has a vaginal yeast infection now from her last antibiotics (because of surgery - I don't know how to avoid those) her feet are all flaky - something fugal is happening there. I'd like to really have a go at fixing up her gut. and then maybe do the vaccine. I am scared to do it and scared not to. And which plan do i go with the fix her up? Do really think all the fruit on the diets actually works? Even the kefir, I am suspect of. I've been doing a candida diet on myself that is fairly extreme. (no fruits, milk products except butter, no grains, no nuts, very low carb.) I was eating kefir, still on the diet and I know it was holding me back. I just don't know how to get my little " picky " eater through school lunches and snacks. Part of me is even entertaining the idea of keeping her from school. How do you deal with birthday parties at school? (I can already see the tears) To vaccinate, to not vaccinate. Which diet to help her with? This is all so stressful!!! (She has had a couple of vaccines and has not had specific reactions. Except she is scoring low on IQ tests and seems slow sometimes and I worry that her gut could have something to do with it.) Any insight? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hard decision... I think considering all the factors, if I were you, I would seek a professional opinion from Dr. McBride or Dr. Cowan. You can do a phone consultation with either one of them.Ann Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 , Tough choices. Our daughter is hearing impaired, as well, but she just wears aids. I can't imagine risking losing her hearing more... I agree with Ann Marie about getting a professional opinion on the risks/benefits of your choices. We have started using S.Boulardii for yeast infections. http://www.giprohealth.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD & Store_Code=GIProHealth & Product_Code=SBoulardii & Category_Code=probiotics It seems to be helping, but, honestly, it is still too early to tell. The GAPS diet is very do-able for children (both of mine are on it), so might be a choice if you don't want her to do the super restrictive anti-yeast diet. Birthday parties and other social situations are manageable, once you have it in your mind that this is what you are committed to. It might help your stress to remember that the diet choice is not an irreversible decision--you can pick a diet, try it, and see how she does. If you don't get the response you had hoped for, you can try a different diet, or modify the diet you are working with. A food/symptom journal is very helpful, too.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 On Sat, Mar 1, 2008 at 7:03 AM, Maureen <motherhenof9@...> wrote: Well, , the answer seems quite easy to me: if you don't want her body messed up further, definitely do *not* vaccinate! I can not stress it enough! One of the problems with vaccinations is that they do mess up the gut, as well as the immune system and the brain. Have you guys listened to the recording of Dr. McBride at the 07 conference? I just ordered it from the WAPF website and I was listening to it yesterday. It's really interesting. What she said about Wakefield blew me away. Apparently when he looked at the digestive systems of autistic children, he found lymph nodes that were full of penicillin -- he tested it and it was the same penicillin from the vaccinations they had had. She said right after that the govt came down on him and he is now unemployable in Britain. The point was that if there is not enough good flora in the digestive tract, the body cannot get rid of the toxins. So it is very dangerous to vaccinate when there is not proper gut flora. She also says that when the body has good gut flora, it will kill ANYTHING that is not supposed to be there. Vaccinations make drug companies LOTS of money. The drug companies compensate the insurance companies and the insurance companies compensate the doctors. Nobody realizes what is behind it all. The drug companies and insurance companies make it sound like they are doing all of this for the good of the community. But the reality is, it's about money. The problem is, just because you are vaccinated does not mean you will not catch the disease. As to the meningitis scare, these things are always blown out of proportion by the medical community. I would take it with a grain of salt and know that I was doing the best thing for my child by avoiding all vaccinations. I agree. My doctor (ahem -- former doctor) made whooping cough sound like the common cold.I just looked up meningitis in a book I got from the library -- I recommend you get your hands on this book -- it's called " How to Raise a Healthy Child In Spite of Your Doctor " by Dr. Robt Mendelsohn, MD. Meningitis is discussed on p. 225-26. He basically says that early diagnosis of meningitis is key. Symptoms are: unexplained fever for 3 or 4 days, accompanied by drowsiness, vomiting, a shrill cry, and possibly a stiff neck. He said meningitis looks a lot like the flu -- but you can distinguish it by the stiff neck and shrill cry. Particularly the shrill cry he says. If your child has these symptoms he says to insist that s/he be tested for meningitis including having a spinal tap. He says many doctors miss the signs of meningitis and do not test for it so you need to insist if you see this combination of symptoms.He also says that antibiotics (not vaccinations) are responsible for reducing mortality from this disease by 95%. As to social woes, we homeschool so don't have the frequency of conflicts that some have, but I always make alternative foods for my kids which are complimentary to what would be served at a party or other gathering. This way they don't feel left out, can have their goodies, and are satisfied. Most of the parents understand, and for those who don't-too bad! These are my kids and I will take care of them! My husband and I have come to the same conclusion. We have decided that will homeschool/tutor or send our children to Waldorf schools. Nutrition and food is just one reason -- there are many others.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi Jen, I had a friend in his early 20s who contracted chicken pox. I wouldn't have a clue what his vaccination status would have been though, except he wouldn't be vaxed for CP, cause it didn't exist. He suffered a lot of discomfort. But no complications. It didn't seem to be any worse than a child would have been. Except a little harder to deal with due to being an adult, who often burnt the candle at both ends, and would have been run down because of it. I was sharing a house with him at the time, and wasn't sure if I might catch it. I couldn't remember if I had had it as a child. I didn't make any attempt to avoid catching it, but didn't anyway. I have since found my childhood records, which say I had had chicken pox, measles and mumps. I will have to have a good look at it. Because I did receive some vaccines. It would be interesting to see if anything I was vaxed for, I caught.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I might actually be getting chickenpox due to the fact I was exposed a few weeks back and I have been feeling rather ill (and quite moody) off and on over the last few days. The thing I am confused about is I have no fever as of yet. I am not worried in the least about how serious it might be because I work really hard to have a strong immune system. I am going to be exposed again today in hopes I get a decent case so that I can use this as part of my documentary. Does anyone ion here know if it is normal for pox to come on an adult this slowly? I will keep everyone updated if I come down with the chickenpox. Fieldman wrote: > > Hi Jen, I had a friend in his early 20s who contracted chicken pox.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 My friend had chicken pox in college (19) back in 1990. She stayed in her room and we delivered her classwork. Spots but no problems, just had to get thru it. diane Re: vaccine question Posted by: " jen leahy " jenleahy@...  jenleahy Wed May 7, 2008 8:04 pm (PDT) I just was wondering if anyone knows of a non vaxed child who has gotten chickenpox or measles as a teenager or adult. Is it as deadly as I have read as an adult or teenager? ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 My brother got the chicken pox when he was 22 in the army in Germany. He said it was painful and uncomfortable but other than that, he is now 40 and doing pretty well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi Jen -- I'm 48 years old and I had chicken pox at age 16 and I had measles while in college. Other than missing school/college, neither was an issue. By the way, I was repeatedly exposed as a child (my Mom believed in sending us to play with other kids or had these diseases so we could get them as kids), but the only one I got as a kid was mumps. Health & blessings, *We believe cleaning house shouldn't involve dirtying the Earth! *http://www.shaklee.net/EcoClean/getclean Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 How bad were the measles? I know so many people are scared to death of them.
