Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi, I do not know where you got your information from,but I was given a tetanus and now I am a vaccine injured adult in chronic excruciating pain 24/7. DO NOT EVER GET THE TETANUS. write to me and I will tell you more.love Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Dr Mendelsohn stated it was the last vax he gave up BUT the vax itself (horse serum) is SO disruptive to humans that it has to be so diluted as to be almost useless as far as preventing tetanus but poisonous enuff to do us harm. I don't have my book as I loaned it but he was a country boy and a country doc and had NEVER seen a case of tetanus. In case you are not aware of this, tetanus is contracted thru a wound that has no oxygen (such as a burn) or does not bleed and contains fecal matter. I am in a hurry and so may not be too clear, but I do believe my statement is pretty much true. Others can clarify or correct me if I am wrong.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 what does the author base the statement of " lowest incidents of side effects " on???? that is an outright tale for all i know, as the side effects on the tetanus vax package insert are no shorter than others, and no less lethal either. personally i wouldn't do tetanus for various reasons. first, only about up to 10 people contract tetanus in the US in any given year, half of whom are fully vaccinated. so even IF the vaccine has any efficacy, 50% is not enough for me. and besides, do i stop using the car because i'm a thousand times more likely to die in a car accident than i am to contract tetanus? me thinks not. ;-) secondly, the tetanus vax, like any other vax, has absolutely no proven record of either being effective, or being " safe " . i don't like to play russian roulette with my health. if they do a gold standard trial that proves that the vax is safe and effective, then i might reconsider, although i doubt it, given the low occurrence of the disease. thirdly, tetanus is so rare that any medico hasn't a clue about it; they wanna jab you if you come to emergency with a gaping bleeding wound. as someone else has already pointed out, tetanus will ONLY thrive in an anaerobic environment, that is, where there is no air. i personally think that the avoidance of tetanus comes down to wound management. if it bleeds, then there's no chance of tetanus surviving, cuz there's air. if it doesn't bleed, try pressing on the wound and you might draw some blood. in any case, wash the wound, keep it clean and keep an eye on it - if it's a deep puncture wound, take a homeopathic ledum c30 to prevent tetanus. maintain proper health on top of that and you're far more likely to win the lottery than contract tetanus. :-) claudia --- <jljhall@...> wrote: > Hi Group- > > I was reading my bood by Aviva Jill Romm > (Vaccinations: A Thoughtful > Parent's Guide) last night, and she mentions that > some people who do > no other vaccinations will still choose to do > tetanus.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Tetanus is the vaccine I had a reaction to in the late 1990's. It was my last vaccine I will ever subject myself to as well. I suffered terrible joint pain in every single joint of my body for weeks. My MD at the time could find nothing wrong. It eventually went away, but I still get flare ups. No way. There is NO safe vaccine. NONE. Here is some great info from Sheri N's website about Tetanus. I highly recommend all the new members check her site out. It is filled with tons of info on ALL the vaccines, and she has it organized so well it's easy to find what you're looking for. Here is the tetanus info: http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/tetanus.htm And here is the link to her site in general: http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccine.htm Kay tetanus vaccination I was reading my bood by Aviva Jill Romm (Vaccinations: A Thoughtful Parent's Guide) last night, and she mentions that some people who do no other vaccinations will still choose to do tetanus. The reasoning appears to be that it has one of the lowest incidents of side effects, and tetanus is a very serious (although rare) and often fatal infection. I was wondering if anyone out there has decided just to do tetanus? I'd love to hear thoughts on this from both sides - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Oddly enough its true about tetanus being the last vaccine given up. I knew of two doctors here on LI who only vaxed their children with the option anyway as that would be hypocracy. From the medical perspective, I am 99% sure if you look in the PDR, you will find in the contraindications or side effects section that the tetanus vaccine can cause Gillian Barre Syndrome. Anyone aware of this?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Parts missing from my reply. Tetanus is what I meant to finish that sentence with and I also mentioned that it's not an option for the rest of us as it is illegal to pick and choose and how I wouldn't want that option anyway.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Janet- I am so sorry to hear of your reaction to the tetanus shot. As I stated in my original post, my information came from a book called " Vaccinations: A Thoughtful Parent's Guide " by Aviva Jill Romm. Thanks for sharing your experience, take care, > Hi, I do not know where you got your information from,but I was given a > tetanus and now I am a vaccine injured adult in chronic excruciating pain 24/7. > DO NOT EVER GET THE TETANUS. write to me and I will tell you more.love Janet > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Laurie - is that from his book " How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor " ? I am reading that now, but can't find where he says that about tetanus. I know he has other books, though, so maybe it's in one of those. In general, of course, he questions all vaccinations. I do know how tetanus is contracted, it is explained on pgs. 72-74 of Romm's book.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 - Not sure what she bases her statement on, but is says on p. 122 of her book, " Tetanus vaccination is associated with the lowest rate of adverse reactions of all of the vaccines currently in use. " She does go on to say several reactions may occur, and lists them. I don't think she is saying there are fewer types of reactions, just that the actual rate (%) of reactions is lowest for this vaccine. Again, there is no source cited for this. I guess we are all looking to do the same thing here, that is protect the health of our children. My question arose basically because of all the diseases kids are vaccinated against, this one seems to have a very high mortality rate (as opposed to say, chicken pox). Thanks for your additional advice regarding homeopathic remedy, did not know there was one for this. I need to go visit a homeopath! > > > Hi Group- > > > > I was reading my bood by Aviva Jill Romm > > (Vaccinations: A Thoughtful > > Parent's Guide) last night, and she mentions that > > some people who do > > no other vaccinations will still choose to do > > tetanus.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Thanks for the info, I see where Dr. Mendelsohn's comments came from, now! Come to think of it, I seem to remember getting a big knot in my arm from a tetanus vax before I went off to college. Seems like it took about a month to go away- > Tetanus is the vaccine I had a reaction to in the late 1990's. It was my last vaccine I will ever subject myself to as well.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Anita- The Romm book does mention Guillain-Barre syndrome as a possible side effect of tetanus.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi , Unless you are using a medical exemption, you do not have the right to decide which shots you want your child to have. A medical exemption is only given after a severe reaction occurs as the result of a particular shot. All other vaccines, except the flu and maybe one other, are mandatory and compulsory by each state, but don't count on that for long. Tetanus is part of the DPT.

My question > arose basically > because of all the diseases kids are vaccinated > against, this one > seems to have a very high mortality rate (as opposed > to say, chicken pox). if you look at recent history, you'll find that before the cp vax came out, to name one example, nobody ever died of chickenpox. however, over the past few years, according to the cdc, several deaths have occurred with the cause being cp. the same goes for hib. it never even used to be a notifiable disease because it was so rare, then the vax came out and it became a notifiable disease, just so they have some figures to play with to make the masses believe this vax is necessary. or take measles. ask anyone over 35 and they're highly likely to remember having had measles as a child. i did, and in my whole life i did not come across a single person who either died from measles or was permanently damaged. yet speak to a medico today and they'll tell you in all seriousness that it is a deadly disease. and on and on it goes. the vaccination business is just that - a business. if you look in detail, you will find that there is absolutely no reason to give in to any vaccine, but many many many reasons to absolutely stay as far away from them as you can if you value your and your children's health. i know it's extremely difficult to wash away all those layers of brainwashing we've been subjected to since literally the day we were born, and it's equally difficult to defend your decision not to vaccinate to your family, in-laws, etc. but the best way to overcome any fear of " vaccine-preventable " diseases is to inform yourself. that's what this list is here for, and for every question you'll ask you are likely to get a lot of replies, from different points of view. and don't mind my tone, i'm not known for subtlety ;-) > Thanks for your additional advice regarding > homeopathic remedy, did > not know there was one for this.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Why not? Are you saying a parent can not selectively vaccinate their child? In all states? Again, referring to the book " Vaccinations: A Thoughtful Parents Guide " , pg. 135, author states: " Consent implies that parents have the following choices: -To vaccinate their child(ren) fully -To vaccinate their child(ren) selectively -To decline all vaccinations Parents have the legal right to make any of these choices. " What about parents that started out getting shots for their kids, but then decided to stop (like me)? > > Hi Group- > > > > I was reading my bood by Aviva Jill Romm (Vaccinations: A > Thoughtful > > Parent's Guide) last night, and she mentions that some people who > do > > no other vaccinations will still choose to do tetanus.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 , I know that in NC it's all or nothing. I can stop at any point with a religious exemption, but I cannot selectively vaccinate past this point. If I were to give my daughter another vaccine (and I'm not) she'd have to get all of them.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi , Get caught and your child will be faced with an onslaught of vaccines.......... then what? The likelihood of getting a doctor to give you one shot without requesting your childs vax records first is zero and none. I have never heard of anyone selectively choosing vaccines with ANY type of exemption. Doesn't mean it can't happen. I think some doctors play this game of selection with their own children and get away with it. Anita Thode <tracythode@...> wrote: But, if you use a philiosophical exemption, is that still true?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Yep, I'm in IL, and we have religious and medical. I have read both the dept. of public health code relating to vaccination exemptions, and looked all over the IL vaccine awareness coalition website, and have not seen any reference to or discussion of selective vaccination. One thing that made me think you COULD vaccinate selectively is the sample letter on vaccineawareness.org, which is worded: As (a) parent \s, based on my\our personal religious beliefs, I \we object to the following vaccination , including but not limited to, Dtap\Dtap, HepB, Hib, MMR, Polio, Varicella, for my\our child___________________.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I don't like that form for that very reason. You don't have to and shouldn't list vaccines.

I see MANY reactions to tetanus vaxand we have one injured person on the list at least!

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Anita is in NY and it is a little more complicated there, but there is no need to let the school know what you have done if you have picked some vaccines, but you could get in trouble if they found out and your religious exemption not be allowed. But I am not in agreement with any vaccine - all are dangerous and have risks and would never choose any vaccines.
