Do Your Homework Before Vaccinating

September 26th, 2011

The U.S. government is starting to impose mandatory vaccinations for children starting with Illinois, which now requires newborn infants to be vaccinated 16 times within the first 18 months. But do vaccines really help

Personally, I believe vaccines are not a solution to fighting disease. The parents of most of the children I have seen over the past decades, being educated, decided against vaccines. I have peers that seem to be healthier than most, and they were never vaccinated. The same goes for patients I have seen who were also not vaccinated. With chiropractic adjustments and adding glyconutrients, phytochemicals and antioxidants to their diet, kids do very well. We should eat fresh and raw foods and eliminate dairy, sugar, dyes and artificial sweeteners. However, everyone should make their own, well-educated decision on vaccines and parents should have a choice in whether or not they want their children vaccinated.

What would I do if I were to vaccinate my child Well, I wouldn’t. Most parents have experienced or heard of children coming down with a fever or simply not feeling well after a vaccine. These are called adverse effects. I have seen children who had adverse effects to vaccines and have never recovered. One toddler in Australia became a vegetable following a vaccine. I have personally witnessed some parents’ grief when their three month-old was vaccinated, had mucous in the stool, went to sleep and never woke up! Why should I vaccinate when there are risks such as these Vaccines are not something that we were born with. We are not deficient in vaccines. Moreover, there seems to be scientific evidence that the preservatives in vaccines may contribute to children succumbing to Autism Spectrum Disorders following inoculation. » Read more: Do Your Homework Before Vaccinating

Challenging the Vaccine Dogma

September 26th, 2011

A chilling, consistent pattern exists in stories

“My child was normal, happy, and healthy. He was walking, learning to talk and interacting with his siblings. He was normal in every way…until his one-year well-baby check up. The doctor said it was time for his next round of shots. Unquestioning, the shots were given. Within weeks, he was autistic.”

The reports vary slightly in content and timing, but the descriptions of thousands of children who suddenly regress into the isolated world of autism are eerily the same.

What is dogma
Webster’s defines dogma as “a doctrine; a positive arrogant assertion of opinion” and medical dogmas certainly abound. Many have existed for decades simply because a claim of effectiveness was made and never disputed. Over time, the allegations were melded into medical jargon, presumed to be facts.

An early example of dogma in the vaccine industry occurred in 1913 when Dr. Simon Flexnor held out that polio was a disease caused by a virus entering the body through the nose and mouth. He postulated that paralysis arose when the virus traveled directly from the sinuses to the brain and the spinal cord. Flexnor’s assertions about the mode of paralysis were never reproduced and it is now known that polio is a gastrointestinal virus, not a respiratory virus. » Read more: Challenging the Vaccine Dogma
