Guest guest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I was just reading a post on a forum from a woman who's second child was just diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Her first was dx'd at age 1 and has an insulin pump now (age 8). Her dd was just diagnosed last week, she's 5 and starting kindergarten (I'd be willing to bet she was recently vaxed for school). The mother said there is no family history and that her dr said that type 1 doesn't really have a known cause, and if it did they might be able to find a cure. (not vaccinating would certainly help eliminate the possibility for many children!) I just sent her links to Sheri's website and another about the relationship between diabetes and vaccines. I'm anticipating my post will go over like a lead balloon there, but I had to say something! A couple of years ago, a repair man that came to our house had a 3 and 5 year old with Type 1 Diabetes. I told him about the vaccine link, too. He just looked at me like I'd lost my mind. :| Childhood diseases are self-limiting. Problems caused by vaccines are often life-long (including diabetes, asthma, ADHD, autism, etc.) Kay -----Original Message----- Read the package insert! - http://users.adelphia.net/~cdc/Vaccines.htm#MMR The package insert for this vaccine states that it may cause Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus or Type 1 Diabetes. Your doctor may tell you " Sure it might, but the risks are so low. " Look at the unbelievable rise in the number of children diagnosed with this incurable disease. :-( I stopped vaxxing in 1999 and have never looked back. The vaccines scare me a lot more than the diseases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a poll on one of my lists to see what ages their children were dx'd, most of them were 5-7. :-( When people ask me if I really believe that my daughter's vaccines caused her Diabetes, I respond " I can't prove that they did, but no one can prove to me that they didn't. " A confirming factor for me was that 4 yrs after she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, another autoimmune disease. :-( Her endocrinologist told me that they know that the antibodies that attack and kill the pancreas are the same ones that attack and kill the thyroid. When he told me that I nearly threw up. :-( Not all kids with Type 1 develop Hashimoto's though, so I don't understand how that works. )0(~~~)0(~~~)0( Mom to Brittany, born 08/31/93, dx'd IDDM 05/28/01; , born 06/28/97; Shayna, born 06/01/00; and Thalea, born 06/24/07.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 It's not like it's a far-fetched idea (vaccines contributing to diabetes). For it to be listed on the MMR package insert as a possible adverse effect, it MUST have been linked at one time or another. The woman commented that her family was going on a march soon to raise money to help find a cure. As with cancer fund-raisers, they need to concentrate on the CAUSES instead of pretending to want to find a cure. Of course it can't be made public that vaccines have to do with any of it otherwise the medical industry's house of cards will start to topple. So sad that unsuspecting families like yours, , have to find out the hard way what damage vaccines do. You'll never know how many children you've spared the same fate by spreading the word.

I see little reason to support this organization. Yes, the fund research to help improve the insulin pumps, meters, etc. BUT to believe they are working toward a CURE is a flat out lie! They receive a good deal of money from pharmaceutical companies. Diabetes is a HUGE money maker for pharmaceutical companies, so why on earth would they let anyone find a cure?? Most of the money that the JDRF raises goes back to the pharmaceutical companies for improvements on the insulin pumps, meters, etc. :-( Why bother. Why don't the pharmaceutical companies just pay for their own research instead of laundering their money through a non-profit. My other beef with JDRF is that they will not support local summer camps (unless they were grandfathered in - they used to do this) for children with Type 1 diabetes so that they can better learn how to take care of themselves and know that they aren't alone. <<So sad that unsuspecting families like yours, , have to find out the hard way what damage vaccines do. You'll never know how many children you've spared the same fate by spreading the word.>> I can only hope. :-( In answer to your question in another post - I was working for a local non-profit that provides fun and education summer camps for kids with Type 1 Diabetes. The organization was started in the 70's, at that time there were about 60 kids that attended the day camp each summer. Type 1 Diabetes was not as prevalent then as now, but still there were that many kids already. I would love to be able to go back and talk to those parents and ask them when their child was dx'd, what vaccines they had, if there was any family history, etc. When Brittany was first dx'd I'd found a website with the history of the disease. I want to say that the first time a doctor tried to treat it was in the early 1900's (I could be wrong). At that time chance of survival was not good, most people struck with it died a slow painful death within weeks. The first treatment the doctors tried was starving the patients. It kept them alive a little longer. :-( At the time it was called Fasting Disease, because the body consumes itself trying desparately to find the sugar to use. I need to look that up again, been years since I read it. )0(~~~)0(~~~)0( Mom to Brittany, born 08/31/93, dx'd IDDM 05/28/01; , born 06/28/97; Shayna, born 06/01/00; and Thalea, born 06/24/07.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 **Yes, but so many people believe " it will never happen to my family. " ** So true. **I'm working on a rant that I'm going to put on my website about JDRF and the like. My other beef with JDRF is that they will not support local summer camps (unless they were grandfathered in - they used to do this) for children with Type 1 diabetes so that they can better learn how to take care of themselves and know that they aren't alone.** Not unlike the cancer industry's lies. Unbelievable that the JDRF doesn't support local summer camps for children! The pHARMa companies have soiled everything with their greed. **When Brittany was first dx'd I'd found a website with the history of the disease.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 My second child, a boy, was diagnosed type 1 at age 23 months. He's never been vaxxed, nor have any of my children. ~ & Co. http://www.PazRana.com/ http://www.MoonPye.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Winnie, I wish I could point my finger at some *thing* or some *time* that would have caused my son's diabetes.. but at the time of diagnosis, he'd never had cow's milk. He was EXCLUSIVELY breastfed, never even had pumped milk in a bottle, not even once. I was soooo pissed when we got the diagnosis, I kept saying, " This isn't supposed to happen to children that are breastfed and not vaxxed. " but it did happen to mine... ~ & Co. http://www.PazRana.com/ http://www.MoonPye.org/ I've also heard of connections to cow's milk and diabetes. Does anyone have info on that?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 On another note, I did suspect that my boy had been exposed to actual measles... I haven't gotten his titers done yet but I do plan to.. I wonder if that's connected at all. oh, and p.s. I don't drink much milk either, so he really wasn't getting much second hand from my breastmilk either.. I might have about a cup a week or less. I do eat organic yogurt sometimes too. ~ > > Winnie, I wish I could point my finger at some *thing* or some *time* that > would have caused my son's diabetes.. but at the time of diagnosis, he'd > never had cow's milk.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Sue , I don't think so. He was very watched over and guarded while at the hospital. I'm not sure they'd have much of a chance of it. I do plan on getting his records from the hospital, but seriously, the time I was in having him the nurses were scared to death to do anything wrong because I mentioned the word " lawyer " and the doc I had is very cooperative with my wishes. She's the same doc that is my kids' doctor now and is fine with me not vaxxing. ~ & Co. http://www.PazRana.com/ http://www.MoonPye.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
