Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 Heavens, you mean that what your daughter has already experienced isn't ENOUGH for a medical exemption?! Oh wait a minute, that's right, she's still alive isn't she? For the majority of doctors, if the child is still breathing then there is no cause for a medical exemption. Since you have two children to protect from vaccines, have you considered the religious exemption? Depending on your state, it's easy enough.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 I'm wondering if you would mind keeping us posted as to whether the unvaxxed baby ever begins the toe walking thing.

Yep. I'm doing the religious exemption. I'm just not sure that will be adequate soon with the crap that's trying to pass as law now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 è 'm wondering if you would mind keeping us posted as è to whether the unvaxxed baby ever begins the toe è walking thing. Just curious. is 22 months right now and has recently started walking on his toes a bit. However, I'm more inclined to believe that it is in imitation of his big sister. It's just an occasional thing with him. Kayla started out on her toes and only walked on her toes until recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister's kids(4) all walked on their toes and the second had braces to help with this problem. They had no " notieable " reactions until 2 years ago when the third suddenly went " catatonic " for about an hour.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 " A few weeks ago someone posted something from a dr. stating that a child that walks on their toes should not be vaccinated because of autistic tendencies (or something to that effect). I was wondering if anyone had any more information on this? " I am not an expert on this, but I have recently gone thru getting my son diagnosed with Autism. Toe walking on some lists is one of many of the indicators for Autism. I have never seen it as one of the contraindications for a vax. My son has walked on his toes since he first walked. " The same thing happened. Only this time, my daughter's personality changed. She wouldn't sleep at night. She was always restless and didn't want to be held anymore. Her development seemed delayed. She developed bowel problems and wasn't completely potty trained until she was 4. She had delayed speech. She was very smart and learned her letters and numbers and colors early. However, she just couldn't communicate. Even after she was speaking more clearly, she couldn't follow a simple conversation. " All of these things that you are describing fit with an reaction to a vax, that leads to the dx of Autism. Autistic children seem to have a period where they stop communicating, don't want to be held, and also have what is described as an " impairment in eye to eye gaze " They may make eye contact and not hold it past a few seconds or may not make eye contact at all. " This did not change until I put her on a phosphatydil serine, DMAE supplement. " I have read many articles about DMAE and how it helps those with Autism. I can give you some links to sites about Autism if you would like. I would start with this one http://www.autism-society.org/whatisautism/autism.html#diag but I have tons more if you need them. The best advice I can give is don't even mess with the DSM 4 classification. Autism is a spectrum disorder. Varying degrees and symptomology from one person with it to another. Let me know if you want more sites, or info. I also have a word document that takes some info from different sites that I have found and put the info I needed in one place, if you would like that I can send it to you.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2001 Report Share Posted December 3, 2001 << A few weeks ago someone posted something from a dr. stating that a child that walks on their toes should not be vaccinated because of autistic tendencies >> , I was that someone. My 15 yr. old son has Asperger's Syndrome. It's on the Autistic Spectrum. I really can't remember if he walked on his toes or not? My memory of all the agony after vaccines is very good. So I think if he was toe walking a lot I would remember. It's my 2 and a half yr. old doing the toe walking. I'm sorry to say I was ignorant of the problems with vaccines. Didn't correlate my older son's problems with the vaccines until my baby had a reaction to the new PREVNAR at 10 months. He has not been vaccinated since. I have read on the many autistic spectrum lists I'm on that, toe walking is due to bowel problems. Dr. Yazbak is the person that I spoke with and, he also sent me a lot of material on these problems. I'm sure if you e-mailed him he would send you the info. He does many conferences and a lot of speaking on vaccines so, you may not hear from him right away. If you would like the e-mail address write me personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2001 Report Share Posted December 3, 2001 Hi, ! I was wondering if you had ever had your daughter tested for Mercury poisoning (the Thimerosal issue)? Your description definitely describes a toxicity issue. Your daughter sounds much like mine, who is Autistic, except that my daughter began having seizures at six months. I only recently had her tested for Mercury poisoning, and have come to find out that that is exactly her biggest problem (of many, all from vaccines). Just to let you know, I simply told my pediatrician no more vaccinations. Too bad if she disagrees. I had changed to her from another group, and told her I didn't want any more vaccinations. She ignored me and said she would use DTap instead of DTP. Within two weeks my daughter began having seizures almost every day for a year and a half. If she doesn't want to write the medical exemption, I will simply take a religious exemption. It just hasn't been an issue for us. Walking on toes? A few weeks ago someone posted something from a dr. stating that a child that walks on their toes should not be vaccinated because of autistic tendencies (or something to that effect). I was wondering if anyone had any more information on this? My daughter has always walked on her toes. She is five and we are just now making some headway with her about it. She had a hepb at around 4 weeks and immediately came down with a horrible ear infection. At around 8 weeks she had another hepb(i think), the dtp/Td, HIB, IPV. She swelled up like a balloon and remained that way for a couple of months. I contacted several Drs. about it. None wanted to see her. They stated that it wasn't a typical reaction and as long as she was breathing all right that there was nothing to worry about. I held off on the next round of vaccinations until the swelling went away and took her to the health dept. I explained about the reaction and asked for testing or separate shots. The nurse was rude and told me the shots only came one way and that I had no choice in the matter and stuck her anyway. The same thing happened. Only this time, my daughter's personality changed. She wouldn't sleep at night. She was always restless and didn't want to be held anymore. Her development seemed delayed. She developed bowel problems and wasn't completely potty trained until she was 4. She had delayed speech. She was very smart and learned her letters and numbers and colors early. However, she just couldn't communicate. Even after she was speaking more clearly, she couldn't follow a simple conversation. This did not change until I put her on a phosphatydil serine, DMAE supplement. If she goes off of it for any length of time she starts having communication problems again. There is just a ton of difference between my smart, sweet but troubled little girl and my unvaccinated little boy. I'm just wondering if there is any medical proof on the autism-toe walking thing. I'm looking for anything else I can take to a dr. to help with a medical exemption. Hey, and I'm really sorry that there are no paragraph breaks in this post. Thanks to anyone who made it through this mess. For some reason, my return key has decided to quit working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 Well, my sister said the (unvaxxed)baby occassionally walks on his toes and when he runs,he's a toe-runner. That can't be comfortable...like Barbie must feel!!! lol LAurie>Oh In a message dated 12/2/01 2:40:33 PM Pacific Standard Time, HolisticMomma@... writes: > I'm wondering if you would mind keeping us posted as to whether the unvaxxed > baby ever begins the toe walking thing.
