This article turns out to be one of the biggest challenges I have written. I am challenged because I want to educate you without terrifying you. I want to scare you enough so that you seek further education. And I want that education to help you make an informed decision where vaccinations are concerned. This is where the challenge begins…with the facts.

First of all, it is important for you to know what a vaccination actually does to the system. When the vaccine is injected into the system it enters through the skin directly into the muscle or blood of the child (or adult) this technique bypasses the normal immune defenses in the mouth and lungs and allows a deeper reaction to the disease. Often we will see a person get “atypical” chicken pox after the vaccination. This particular type of post vaccination reaction will show as chicken pox on internal orifices such as the mouth and lungs this strain of chicken pox is particularly difficult to treat and is often fatal. We can certainly attribute increased outbreaks of herpes and shingles to only partial immunity to the chicken pox virus. MMR can cause vaccination induced meningitis. DPT has a common after effect of encephalitis. Vaccinations administers intramuscularly do not immunize the immune system, it compromises it.

When vaccines are combined, such as they commonly do with MMR or DPT, they become more dangerous. They also require preserving, which is usually done with thimerosal) Thimerosal had been used to prevent the growth of bacteria or fungi in multi-dose units of vaccines for diseases such as hepatitis and diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus, or DPT. Parts of Canada banned use of Thimerosal containing vaccines in the early 1990’s by 1997 all of Canada had banned use of this dangerous ingredient. However the flu shot that was recommended to anyone over the age of 6 months did contain thimerosal this year in Canada, US and those shipped to third world countries.

“After assuring parents that additives in vaccines don’t cause brain damage, scientists have found what they believe could be a “smoking gun” linking these additives to autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in children. In a study that was rushed to print online in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, U.S. researchers have discovered an apparent link between thimerosal, a controversial mercurybased preservative once commonly used in childhood vaccines, to an increased risk of neurological disorders such as autism and ADHD. While most vaccines distributed in Canada have been thimerosal-free since the early 1960s, the preservative was used in the annual flu shot doctors recommended this year for even healthy children” ......Taken from a recent posting at www.safeminds.org.

I found a great site that gives you the package inserts for all the vaccinations so that you may read about the dangers and go to your Dr. with full disclosure. When is the last time you read the insert on a vaccination? http://www.vaccinesafety.edu/package_inserts.htm.

I find it interesting that, if an herb caused some of these issues it would surely be banned, yet because BIG money is made on vaccinations the statistics of illness and death cease to matter.

I recently listened to a phenomenal cassette from Tape of the Week (800-811-1132) by Karen Jenson. It was called Vaccine: Full Disclosure. I have, like many of you, heard about the vaccine issues for many years.

I have heard about the incredible link between Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and vaccines. I have certainly read and heard about the links to Autism, ADD, ADHD and many other neurological syndromes. It scares me to think that these links were noted as far back as the 1930’s, by orthodox allopathic medicine!!! Yet as one drug company who sells vaccinations put it…”the benefit outweighs the risk” I wonder how you explain that to the parents of the healthy 3 day old baby who is now dead as a result of a Hepatitis B vaccination. It is interesting that SIDS was totally eliminated in Japan when they banned vaccinations for children under the age of 2. When Sweden followed their lead the same results were found. SIDS has been virtually eliminated in both countries.

It is proven that the only children at risk of contracting Hep B are the children whose Mom was infected or the child who lives in the house with an infected family member. That equal about 26,000 kids nation wide. Adverse reactions out-number cases of the disease in government statistics and those are only the cases of death or illnesses that are reported and openly linked to the vaccine.

“children under the age of 14 are three times more likely to suffer adverse effects — including death — following the hepatitis B vaccine than to catch the disease itself.”

On a more physical level, we need to build the immune system and keep it strong with real food. Ultimate Green Zone is a great builder of the body.

Work with a homeopath to help you know how to keep the symptoms of these diseases from making you and your child miserable. Homeopathic Medicine for Children and Infants by Dana Ullman, Homoeopathy for Children: A Parent's Guide to the Treatment of Common Childhood Illnesses by Gabrielle Pinto, Murray Feldman are two of many books that will help you through the illness if you do get them.

Understand the vaccination laws in your state. You do not HAVE TO vaccinate to get your child in school; however you should plan on being challenged to get your child into a public school system. You do have a right to refuse. There are organizations set up to help you “fight the system” If you get on the internet at www.google.com simply type in vaccination laws and your state. Then you at least know what the law says. You can not win the fight if you do not know how your enemy is armed.

Be aware of what diseases still exist and IF you choose to vaccinate, choose carefully to get only those that are for diseases that exist today. Good hygiene has eliminated many diseases of the last century. My thought is that you should look at the overall health risk of each disease carefully and weigh it against the possible risk from the vaccination. Illnesses like measles simply give the immune system practice in fighting. Would you ask an army to go to battle if they had never picked up a gun?? "You do not HAVE to vaccinate"
