I am always on the lookout for someone that I can expose my kids to, but I can't seem to find anyone and they haven't managed to pick it up yet. I know it's a bit of a pain, and it's uncomfotable for them, but the immunities from actually having it, usually last a lifetime, and the injection probably wont. I am hoping they get it early so we dont have to worry about it later. Nisha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 tell her nobody could prove the vaccines didn't give her kids the eczema and asthma in the first place. the child's body is already going through a tough time, trying to eliminate toxins. tell her to delay her vaxxes for a long, long time so the kids skin and body can heal. not vaxxing IS a total 180 for most people. so many people don't question it. they've bought into the myth and I tell ya, it's hard to get outside your comfort zone. i.e.: on my sergers list we've been going through the " well my cat is 18 and has eaten kibble and canned food all his life. so why should I consider feeding raw food? " and of course the FDA comes into it and " my vet doesn't think raw is good so I'm going to do it " ..... yk, pets and people are so closely intertwined!!! and AAFCO.. what a joke... there is no enforcement of regulations (of the ones that are there) in the pet food industry. it's almost a total " so??? " to say " well the food I feed meets AAFCO's standards " ...my response would be " well they don't meet mine!! " you see the parallels? well my kids are fully vaxxed and they're totally healthy! so they discount that vaccines could do harm. I got my dh to back off on his pro-vaccine by telling him I was on the fence and I was delaying while I researched. it was a tempered response strategy b/c otherwise he was going off half-cocked accusing me of 'endangering his children' and inside I'm thinking, no honey, I don't think I'm the one who is endangering our kids..but it's much better to have him on the same page and be united.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 You need to tell " MOM " that she needs to get some books on the dangers of vaccines and read them. Then she will know what to say to doctors, etc. she will not be intimidated by the medical establishment any more. She is doing this for the health and possibly life of her kids.A good enough reason, eh?

I strongly disagree, but what would you say to her regarding this? She is struggling a bit with her decision not to vax and wonders if she should selectively vax instead. What advice can I give her?
