Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hi Anita, Living in New York, I'm sure things are more progressive there (and in other parts of the country) than they are where I have lived. I have lived in Ohio, Kentucky, and Louisiana. People still look at me like I have 2 heads when I say I go to a chiropractor! LOL My children were born in 1989 and 1991. I was an obstetric and pediatric nurse for almost 10 years and STILL never came across anyone who didn't vaccinate! Those of you in more " progressive " states, count your blessings! I'm stuck in the Middle Ages here in Kentucky! LOL I first learned about the dangers of vaccines when I joined a dog-specific breed list 5 years ago in anticipation of our first dog's arrival. There I learned for the first time that there was another way besides feeding your dog dry kibble, getting it vaccinated, and seeing a conventional vet. There were many there who fed their dogs raw, didn't vaccinate or use topical chemicals on their dogs, and used homeopathy. WOW! Was that an eye opener for me! Then when our new pup had a reaction to one of his first vaccines, I started researching online and realized that vaccines were VERY damaging for animals AND humans! As one who was a registered nurse, this was total foreign ground to me. But I kept digging and researching and discovered a whole new way of living! The 2 people I had met previously who didn't vax their kids (and whom I thought were totally nuts for not doing so), I finally realized they were on to something major that I had never even considered. I'm the lone wolf in my circle though. My family and friends think I'm nuts for " wasting " my college degree, and for turning my back on conventional medicine as a whole. I don't use commercial cleaning products, use only homeopathy, don't douse our lawn in pesticides, feed my dog raw food, don't vax my kids anymore, and the list goes on. NO ONE I know in my area or in my family feels this way about any of this. They just think I've gone off the deep end! LOL So for me, this list is a life saver! Kay Re: Re: anyone use Burts Bees kids toothpaste? Hi Kay, I had my first child in 1993 and first learned about vaccine dangers and how to avoid them from my Bradly birth instructor. Soon after that, in 1994, I began using chiropractic and became part of a group made up of practice-members called 'Moms Making A Difference' that essentially was a support group for moms who did not vaccinate their children and who subscribed to the organic way of life. That group was made up of a dozen or so women and their spouses. I think certain parts of this huge country ( mostly perimeter states) are more progressive than others and thats where your liable to find people who are knowledgeable in the areas of health we so often discuss.I love this group, but it is not as esoteric as would suggest. Not for me anyway. For over 10 years I have met countless amounts of people who think and live outside the 'herd' of the mainstream. Anita, L.I.,N.Y.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Kay, Anita and the rest of you, I agree with Kay. If I didn't have this forum to " talk " to somtimes I would be totally alone in this quest. I'm in North Carolina which is VERY conservative but we have pockets of progressive areas around Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh and Charlotte (due to transplants from more progressive areas). Just Saturday night we were at a baseball game with people from my husband's office. One couple had an 8 month old boy and started asking me pointed questions about vaccines. The wife's first comment was: " Everything I've read points out that the shots are not responsible for autism. " Apparently one of the other guys in the office just found out that his 2 year old is autistic and it has scared this other couple. Plus this little baby has had some " seizure like incidents " which have alarmed them. (I didn't have the heart to tell them that my autistic nephew had those as well - why scare them more?) I started by telling them that it depends on who you ask and who is funding the research and that it's not just autism that we should all be worried about. I could tell by their blank stares that they thought I was insane. The wife said, " but our pediatrician told us that he wouldn't see us any more if we didn't continue to vaccinate " . So I told her that we switched because our dr. wouldn't keep us either and that was not the important issue. I think I did convince them to at least do some web research and to ask for all the product information sheets from each shot he was due to get so that they could take them home and study them with plenty of time to reflect. There are worries on my part that I may even damage my husband's career because of my very different stands on so many things. I look like the typical yuppy wife but when I open my mouth it all comes out! When people find out that we drink raw dairy, use raw honey and try to eat nothing that has trans fats, high fructose corn syrup or food coloring they openly tease us and say that we're paranoid and wasting our money. The other kids even tease our kids and say that their mom is weird and that they're not normal because of just bringing water to drink instead of juice boxes or pb & j on whole wheat. But let's remember that anyone who has made a difference in this world began by being marginalized. You can't name one famous individual who has made radical changes (that includes Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi, MLK Jr., - you name it) who was not ridiculed and thought nuts by many people. So let's stick together because this will most likely never be an easy path to take. Thanks to all of you, Sheri B.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 To All, To me, this group not only acts as a fountain of information, but provides constant and much needed support for (radicals) like me who choose not to vaccinate.(yes even by New Yorks progressive standards). It's a sort of think tank if you will. I am alone on the issue in the support group my autistic sons school provides. Many of the moms are choosing to wait (which is a start) or are all consumed with the mercury/auitism link. Parenting an autistic child comes with untold stress, fear and endless challenges and I lean on the group for support in those areas and to exchange info and strategies. Every now and then the topic of vaccinations comes up and I diligently get on my soap box to spread the word though I'm sure the Moderators (social workers, psychologist etc) don't appreciate it. If I even get them to think about it, I feel I have somehow liberated them from their socially trained way of thinking. As I said, I love this group and all the knowledge, comfort and support I have gained from it and my fellow members. I declare this day to be Vaccinations Group appreciation day. BIG THANKS to our leader Sheri Nakken. Gee, I hope I'm not being too corny. Anita " Sheri B. " <tallchick1966@...> wrote: Kay, Anita and the rest of you, I agree with Kay.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Kay, Did you vaccinate your children in 89 and 91? I also thought you might have some luck finding people who are likeminded at your chiropractors office. Does he/she support you in your views on vaccinations? Every chiropractor I have ever known has been anti-vax and a huge source of support for me. How about the people who frequent your healthfood store? I'm sure it's hard, but you never know what people in those circles are thinking about such subjects.Just a suggestion.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hi Anita, Thank you for your suggestions. Yes, my children were vaxed up through their kindergarten vaccines. Unfortunately I have a chiropractor that embraces allopathic medicine! And it seems the ones I have found in the past are the same way. I tell you, Kentucky is messed up! The HFS is in another county (we moved to the country last summer). I've never seen ANY info there on not vaxing (I check their bulletin board, too!) And when I asked them about a homeopath in the area, they looked at me like I was speaking Chinese! <sigh> Even the " homeopathic " vets (3 different ones) I took our dog to, THEY vaccinate, use antibiotics, etc. Grrr... I'll keep looking though. Maybe these places around here are afraid of getting in trouble if they advertise about not vaxing. I don't know. Thanks again for your input. I'm not giving up yet!

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I guess I didn't realize how very dificult it is for so many of you. Believe me, I am up against a world of opposition too, especially where my family is concerned. When autism became evident in my son all they could say was that he was proof that vaccinations had nothing to do with autism. To this day, I have not found a single person with an autistic unvaxed child. Henry's unvaxed autism has provoked similiar comments from his pediatrician which only gives them more vax-selling power when they use my son as an example. It's terribly frustrating.I found 2 drs. through DAN (defeat autism now) that were open minded enough to say that Henry would have been in the deeper darker woods of autism if I DID vaccinate him. They no longer accept my insurance. I pretty much steer clear of doctor visits for all 3 of them except for annual physicals. My current chiropractor regrets vaxing his children and is always ready to talk about the evils of doing it. I count my blessings for having him and others to support me. I am luckier than I thought. There are many of us out there, and in time, I know God will point them out to you. Anita KPhilpot <KPhilpot@...> wrote: Hi Anita, Thank you for your suggestions.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Anita, Have you and your DAN doctors ever discussed the effects of toxins not just from the shots but those that he got in utero or early in life? My sister is convinced that her amalgams, along with her shots and other exposure to toxic substances contributed to her son's autism. The vaccinations were just " the icing on the cake " . Have you guys ever done a screening for heavy metals in his body? Before my sister started his chelation they did a full panel to see what metals were in his body and it was scary. Huge levels of Uranium, Cadmium, Arsenic.... it went on and on. So obviously this wasn't just from the shots. The shots were like the bucket filling up to overflowing and they finally caused it to spill over. Sheri B.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Sheri B.- this is a great thing to bring up. I think some people don't realize that those shiny silver filings (mercury) are so toxic and do get absorbed into the mothers bloodstream and straight to the baby. I have 8 of them! I am sure this didn't help my son and only wish I had known about the dangers of them before I got pregnant. This month I am starting the process of having them removed. One more note...if you have amalgams DO NOT let just anyone take them out. Please go to a qualified holistic minded dentist that has all the proper equipment. There is a very specific protocol to follow when removing them so that you dont receive even more toxic poisoning during the process.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Sheri, The DAN doctors took Henry's blood and ran over 100 tests incliding all the metals. Oddly enough, he was within the normal range for everything with the exception of amonia (which wasn't even too far from normal). It can't be proven thus far, but we all suspect it was the IV antibiotics (strictly precautionary mind you) given to him on his third day of life. He then received my IV antibiotics through breast milk soon after for a period of approx.six weeks. I had the lactation consultants blessing on that stupid move. I had a very dangerous case of phlebitis with cellulitis after the c-section. I was sick and scared and wanted nothing more than to breastfeed him. Add the trauma of seperation and we have some serious assaults to a newborn baby.Dr.Carley prescribed a homeopathic antibiotic detox which really helped. I just finished a vaccination detox to get rid of any inhereited vax garbage/viruses he may have gotten from me .Again, he is better for doing it. He no longer snores and breaths steadier when sleeping. His adenoids were probably enlarged with viruses (and I use the term loosly) and consequently narrowed his breathing path. She has more treatments in mind, but I have decided to take a break and see how does on his own for a while. I do give him transfer factor everyday with B's and C to provide much needed constant support of his immune system. I am going to replace the B vit. with whey and add cod liver oil. These are my own choices based on what I have read in various sources. What you describe is the case for so many autistic children especially those who have regressed and is excellent advice. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to Henry's unique case of autism. I almost wish it did so I could chelate him and make him better. I am confident that he will improve significantly over time with love, a clean diet and an appropriate education program in addition to any treatments I decide would suit him. Thank you for sharing. Perhaps a classical homeopath should be next on my list. Anita " Sheri B.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 You took the words right out of my mouth, Anita! I would HIGHLY recommend this. I believe New York has several on the list. Just be sure and ask them the questions Sheri has on her website. You want to be sure and get one who is classical and practices from the 6th Organon. http://www.homeopathy-cures.com/html/referrals_to_homeopaths.html#NewYork-NEw (check out the ones in bold print) http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/homeo.htm (questions are listed a little more than halfway down the page) All the best! Kay ******************************************* Perhaps a classical homeopath should be next on my list. Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Sandy, I never thought of it that way.It's a double edge sword because on one hand you have the medical mainstream people who will use this as an example to prove vaccinations don't cause autism.On the other hand you have those with a broeder scope of thinking who will see that vax garbage can be inherited and set the stage for autism so that when an environmental assault takes place; autism results. I suspect Henry's autism or his suseptability to it occurred in utero as a result of active rubella from my vax.The pregnancy was not problematic but I did'nt feel the glow or energy I had the 2x before.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Anita, Are you saying you were vaxed for rubella during your pregnancy?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 No Kay. I am saying that because of the way vaccinations only appeal to one part (humoral I believe as opposed to the cell-mediated) of the bi-polar immune system; the rubella vax virus theoretically could still live quietly within my body and come become active when I am immunocompromised. It's pure speculation but well supported by research. That theory applies to measles as well and maybe even more.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I see. Well, if you think about it that's how any of us get sick. When our immune system isn't working properly (which we know the vaccines throw a wrench in THAT), then the viruses and bacteria that are with us and around us all the time have the opportunity to take hold. If our immune system was left to work the way it was intended our bodies would be able to withstand the negative outside influences. And yes, the damage done to our bodies from vaccines we received as children and as adults definitely can affect the health of our children. I find it fairly amusing that the MDs are using your son as a means of trying to get vaccines off the hook when it comes to autism. As you say, it is SO rare to find an unvaxed child with autism, surely they don't expect people to believe that ONE child is going to prove their faulty theory when there are scores of others to prove that vaccines ARE indeed involved in autism in children. They don't want to see the evidence that's right in front of their eyes. Your son's situation is no more proof that vaccines DON'T contribute to autism any more than my children who WERE vaccinated and aren't autistic. It's all about susceptibility in the individual. And as someone said, there are so many factors including amalgams in the mother's mouth, vaccines parents received and when, environmental exposure to toxins, etc. The child's own vaccines may just be the straw that broke the camels back in many situations. It is such a HUGE assault to those little bodies, it's just unbelievable that anyone can do that to a baby in the name of " health. " It's a game of Russian Roulette any time a child is vaccinated. NO ONE knows how that individual child will respond until it's been done. And then the damage is often irreversible. Kay Re: Now:Alternative living WAS: anyone use Burts Bees kids toothpaste? No Kay.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Kay, What ever happened to the idea 'The power that made the; heals the body?' That's a popular belief held by many chiropractors in these parts. I'm sure they are aALL familiar with it as it is most likely part of their education and training. Wouldn't it be fun to challenge your allopathic thinking Chiropractors with their own belief system? I love boxing these kind of people in; it only makes them think when they are through being defensive. These guys are walking,talking contradictions to their own profession.

Kay, It is amusing but a dangerous scenario none-the-less. The ped's office I take the children to is a vaccination factory. There are at least a dozen doctors on staff and they have four practices in our county. It's like the 'Gee Your Hair Looks Terrific Commercial'. They tell any skeptical parents about my son; they tell 2 people and so on and so forth. That's a perfect example how misinformation can spread like wildfire.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Isn't that the truth? I went to one chiropractor a few years ago who asked me when my last mammogram was???!!! I said I don't do mammograms; and he looked at me like I had 3 heads! He asked why not, and I said I had done alot of research on them and decided the risk wasn't worth it. I told him I have read that if a woman DOES have a tumor, the immense pressure from the mammography machine can actually rupture the tumor and cause the cancer to spread. He agreed. I don't get it... They must send all the loonies to Kentucky! LOL Kay Re: Now:Alternative living WAS: anyone use Burts Bees kids toothpaste?

I'm sure any kind of radiation has the potential to cause cancer. I'm 42 and have not had one either. I might coinsider a thermogram when it's covered by my insurance.
