Guest guest Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have a son on the spectrum so my sister is following a modified safer vaccine schedule, recommended by the Rimland Center, for her baby daughter. Her daughter is experiencing red hot swollen spots after some vaccines. Pediatrician says it is normal, but even though it is common, is it really " normal " ? Not everyone has that reaction? What should she do if her daughter is showing slight vaccine reactions even on the safe vaccine schedule? I don't vaccinate my kids anymore at all, but she is not willing to go that far. Is there a safer safe vaccine schedule? I think there really is no such thing as a safe vaccine on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Personally, if there were to be a 'safer' vaccine schedule, the first shot would be given after the age of 2. At the minimum, no more than 1 shot at a time, separated by several months of time. Of course a pediatrician will say that swelling is normal because that is what they have been told. To me? That is an indicator of a potential problem. None of my kids ever had that red, hot spot, though. If mom/dad are still set on vaccinating, I'd at least start picking and choosing the more important infant vaccines and leave the not-so-critical ones behind (like, HepB if she has no risk factors, etc).

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 http://www.rimlandcenter.com/docs/ImmunizationSchedule.pdf Wow. Is this the alternative schedule? It doesn't seem that cautious. I'm shocked. 12 vaccines prior to the age of 1 yr AND recommending the flu shot (bought in to the H1N1 scare, I see). Nothing at birth or for the first 2 months is better than nothing at all if someone is going to vaccinate, but I question if this will matter much to a baby more genetically susceptible to vaccine injury.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I AGREE.........nothing till 2 yrs of age.Any reaction means stop vaccinating further.Thats what Dan's believe in From: Pamela H <phaselow@...> Subject: [ ] Re: SAFER VACCINE SCHEDULE Received: Friday, September 24, 2010, 1:22 PM Â Personally, if there were to be a 'safer' vaccine schedule, the first shot would be given after the age of 2.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I strongly agree with pam. My first child (3y.o.) Whom never has had a diagnosis was on his way to become autistic. We were doing what we thought was " safe " . My second child(1y.o.) Has been " normal " so far. One vaccine at a time. I've only don't one per check up. I am not in a rush to go once a month to catch him up. I was told by the chiropractor whom is assisting us in the recovery of my eldest. Giving the child vitamin A & C through out the day before, of and after the vaccine. It helps the body with the reaction to the vaccine. As we all know there no real safe way about any of this unless you don't vaccinate. But if you decide to vaccinate, there are " smarter " ways to go about it. My eldest we do not vaccinate anymore. Maybe in the future but I can't speak for the future. Once my youngest has enough hair to do a test on we plan to. With saying all this. You have to assume that your child is a loaded gun at all times. There is no telling when their system will crash from the toxins that have been put in their bodies(vaccines or environmental toxins of any kind). To me the reactions are a warning of some kind that her body isn't mature enough to handle it.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Ralitsa, We are in the same situation. The reactions were not immediate; at least not from what I remember. The loss of skills (like losing the ability to roll from his back to his belly) came a few weeks after the injections. What makes me most angry is that the pediatrician knew of these neurological changes and had ZERO concern. Looking back, what child is developing normally when, at 5 months, they stop rolling and get stuck like a turtle? It wasn't that he didn't roll, it was that he couldn't. He would try and try and try.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 We all get sad. The trick is to turn the anger and sadness in to a motivator to heal. My energy comes and goes. Comes and goes. Take care, and hang in there. You do have the power to make your child's life better.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 My pdd son always had hot red spots after vaccs. He also cried alot. for hours and hours. I was assured this was " not uncommon " . 8 years later, I've come to realize that just because it's not uncommon, doesn't mean it's safe. Diabetes is not uncommon, either. That doesn't make it ok. Along came my younger son who's reactions were considerable worse. Not only did the injection site become hot and red, they also became very hard and swollen. (I wonder if he's an undermethylator?) The last vacc he ever had (varicella) caused his arm to swell bigger than his leg.(literally). That's when I decided enough was enough. As a toddler, he was speech delayed(barely spoke until after his 4th birthday) and still struggles with sensory issues but he seems to have pulled through by the grace of God. If only I could go back in time.... > > > > I have a son on the spectrum so my sister is following a modified safer vaccine schedule, recommended by the Rimland Center, for her baby daughter.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I can totally relate on the red raised hot spots. My son had one of these hard, red, raised lumps after his MMR. My babysitter told me to report it to the doctor, but he'd been to the doctor so many times recently already that I just told her I wasn't going to go there for them to tell me it was normal and " just give him some motrin " . His is not reported. Many kids with the same lot number had the same reaction. We'll never know what was in it...some crap my son might take years to detox, maybe not in his whole life. > > > > > > I have a son on the spectrum so my sister is following a modified safer vaccine schedule, recommended by the Rimland Center, for her baby daughter.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I don't want to scare my sister to death, but I agree with Liz and t.lynn that the reaction her daughter had, no matter how common, isn't a good sign. I think no one really thinks autism is going to happen to their kid until it does. > > > > > > > > I have a son on the spectrum so my sister is following a modified safer vaccine schedule, recommended by the Rimland Center, for her baby daughter.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I think if any one of us could go back in time and know what we know now, we wouldn't vaccinate our kids in the absence of a clear and present danger. I know I'd be hoping that he would never need one. I've pulled him through EIGHT bouts of pneumonia, too may bouts of severe bronchitis, and way too many asthma attacks ---all thanks to vaccines. I know I sat by my sister's bedside when she got the mumps twice (first on one side, then later on the other). I sat and read to my brother when he had the measles (and no I never caught either from them). I never caught the chicken pox. all I ever got was the roseola. Chances are I developed titers but never manifested the viruses. I'd have rather nursed him through the childhood diseases than what I have had to nurse him through thanks to vaccines. I hope I never have to vaccinate him again. Any reaction to a vaccine does not bode well for the recipient in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I have spent several hours on the CDC website looking at the vaccine schedule and the " catch up " schedule. The " catch up " schedule is the one that doctors use if they have a child that did not get them on the " regular " schedule. SO, if you look you will see that some vaccines are only recommended for certain time periods like the HIB shots are recommended till 2 yrs. So, if you can live for that long holding your breath then you can get away without giving those. Now, they have changed it to 5 yrs old and then it isn't recommended anymore. And if you get the 4th Dtap shot after the age of 4 then you can forego the 5th one. So, things like that can cut down on the shots that you are required to have for school or that are " needed " . And, for sure never give when sick or runny nose. My NT dd only got them once a year or so and that was after she was 2. My husband thinks they should have the flu shot which unfortunately I did give in to for a few years but not anymore.
