hi leigh,
just want to let you know that i absolutely adore you, and the wonderful kind way you describe things. i dont normally step out sand disagree with people, but in the most loving and non judgemental way i would love to make a few points on my decision not to vaccinate.
Quote:
guess, while I understand resistance to human-created vaccinations because of the preservatives and such, I personally really worry about the impact of a generation that chooses not to vaccinate -- if you look at infectious disease vectors, when immunization programs end, those diseases tend to re-emerge and return to the levels they existed before the immunization programs were developed.
in the reasearch i have done into vaccinations, there are areas that have never had some diseases that they were mass vassinating against. they went into these areas and vaccinated healthy people. after this, the very diseases the they were vaccinating against emerged for the first time in their history.

a villiage in mexico was the best examlple of this.
i have found that it is the rise in the hygine levels that have improved the protection of infectiouse diseases, and i think that the re-emergence of these diseases are because of humans going overboard.
i made the conncection between antibiotics, penicillin and vaccination because it works on the same thing. people seem to work on a fad type behavior. they discover something useful and take it too far.
we descovered antibiotics and there is a place for it, but we now dose everything in society that has a cough or a sniffle and too many people are using it incorrectly. this causes a build up in resistant diseases.
i think that this is the same as the vaccination. in its place it is useful. there are immediate risks that need attention in some areas, like africa, and there is a place for it. but now it is a rediculose over reaction that injects children with terrible things to protect against disesase that the body needs, like chicken pox, to learn to protect itself.
we should not be vaccinating for everything there is, let the body get sick here and there, and help it to strengthen its immunity on its own. clods and flues are debilitating to those that are weak, so strengthen the immunity and treat the body with minerals, vitamins, herbs, whatever is needed to strengthen the immunity. a healthy child, even baby can breeze through a cold or flu, but if they do not have the right baccies in the body, and they are not healthy and strong, then it will be a problem.
in this rave i am meaning something quite simple. strengthen the body and let it fight some battles to learn to defend itself. dont just prevent the virus, it is like giving crates of food to the starving. that will do in the short term, but in the long term, teaching them and giving them the skills to grow food will be better.
my favorite music and story "war of the worlds." the aliens were defeated because of the germs that they had irradicated long befor. all we are doing by vaccinating against chickenpox and colds and flues is making everything sterile. so that one day when the bacterias become resilliant to it, our bodies will not know what to do
about the autism. i truely beilieve this to be true. i have a friend that has a child that was completely normal till the day he got his shots. that day, and it was documented via video, he changed and is severly autistic.
interesting thing to me also is the lack of effectiveness to vaccination. i was vaccinated as a child and teenager with the MMR vac. befor i was vaccinated i had no allergies, no asthma, no exzema. after i had all of the above! also, a i developed a terrible case of measels, and then not long after that, a bad case of german measils.
i have also found that they are saying that there is an out break to all of these infectiouse diseases since people have stepped back from vaccination. i have found here that there ois an outbreak and most vaccinate. my children are of very few that are not vaccinated, and all the children that have had whooping cough in theara have been fully vaccinated. this to me does not point at those that dont vaccinate, but puts question to me over that value of vaccination and i query wether it even works.
i have been told that i will recieve less government help for not vaccinating, and that is fine, and the interesting thing is that they say if there ia an out break (that is in fully vaccinated children) they will ask me to keep my child away from school. do they even understand the hypocrisy of that!
if the children that are vaccinated are gettiing this disease, why worry about my children.
it is a very hard thing is to work out wether it is right for you. we all have to make that decision based on the risk in our specific area. i dont question or judge those that do, and i hope that people also dont question and judge those that dont. i feel that vaccinating is only making diseases that are stronger are more resilliant and making people weaker as their bodies do not know how to defend thamselves naturally because injecting into the body bypasses tha natural route and prevents the body from gaining any strength that are long term. bombarding the system with so many synthetic viruses and diseases all at once can definately overload the system and i believe it definately does cause brian damage in so many cases, and this is why in the US a major percentage of the costs are retained to pay out victims of brain damage.
i am so sorry about how this sounds. i am not on my band box, nor am i meaning to lecture, and i value so much the opinions of others. you are all bringing brillinat information to the table. and i only write here as it is a subject that i studies very in depth, and i get alot of abuse from others over my decision. if there is am outbreak in something like whooping cough, that is everywhere here at the moment, people assume it s us that do not vaccinate that caused this. but when the information is gathered it is not those unvaccinated that are the ones causing this, but it is the ones that ARE vaccinated that get it.
there was an outbreak in strangles in the horses on our area. strange enough it was in the ompetition horses that were fully accinated, and our young horses and old horses, (all of them actually) avioded it. even though they are not vaccinated. just an interesting fact. i think that the vaccines are not effective anymore. and more and more we are weakening rahter than preparing for battle by focussing on strengthening the immune system, rather than bypassing it and suppressing it.
