Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 (and anyone else with info), you wrote about a friend who developed shingles after his child was vaccinated for chicken pox. I've put off vaccinating my youngest 2 for it (the older ones had it already); an MD I know recommended that, all things being equal, to wait till about 10 - if they get it after 10 it's tougher for them. Now you make me wonder if, even though I had it (twice) if I would be putting myself at risk by vaccinating them.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Jody, Yes, Scarlett's doing great, I don't think she suffered any longterm effects. We also had her treated homeopathically immediately after the event and she (and Stryker) have had constitutional homeopathic treatment. I did report the incident to VAERS; I think the pediatrician filed her own report, too. Re: vaccines > Hi , > I hope Scarlett is doing fine now! Did you and/or your dr. report this to > VAERS?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 , Even some of the government studies are semi-funded by the drug companies...and many many of the studies are financed by the drug companies and are filtered through other areas making it difficult to find where their money trickles in...it is coming out more and more now and the FDA and their *advisory board* are under serious investigation for conflicts of interest. Long long story here. There are no long term studies at all from any of the drug companies on any of these vaccines, and when looking at the history, especially the new ones are being rushed through the FDA to the drs. Look at what happened with saccharin, they replaced it in a rush with aspartame and that is even worse for us ... yet for now it remains on the market until another replacement can be found...then watch how quick it is pulled. The CDC, after being accused of the conflicts of interest as the FDA is now looking more and more at the reactions of vaccines. They have released news stories last year on Reuters health that there is a definite link between certain vaccines and IDD, especially in children...and look how quickly the increase in this is rising. I just think WE have to be more careful and choosey on what we allow them to but in our babies bodies...they are getting carried away with all the vaccines. So many issues, so many lies, so many life's affected. I do believe that the connections will be made between auto immune and vaccinations as will vaccinations and connections of autism ADD/ADHD and others...then what...immune systems will be altered so much, how would we ever get them back to what the good Lord intended them to be when he created man?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hi Fay- I didn't write about shingles. I did get my son vaccinated as an infant for Varicella because I was 25 and his father was 26 when we came down with chicken pox. I was afraid that my son wouldn't get them til he was older too. Now, I'd probably wait until he was a little older (as you have). I'd have to see a study that shows a relationship between shingles and getting your child vaccinated before I could really comment on that. However, I'd think if getting a child vaccinated for Varicella puts the parent at risk for shingles than a child that contracted chicken pox would put their parent at the same risk.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Fay, I am the one who told you about my friend who contracted shingles in the eye after his children had the chicken pox vaccine. When you have chicken pox we are suppose to have a lifelong immunity to it. If you are in doubt, ask to have titers run on you for any of the childhood diseases...those you have had, those you haven't but been vaccinated for. It will show if your immunity is still there. Shingles is in the same family as chicken pox but I don't believe having chicken pox will make you immune to shingles.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 , Do you know of any web sites that list the Canadian laws on vaccines? I know there are less ways of getting out of them there than here. Is religious exemption accepted there? As laws change here and more comes out on this issue, hopefully it will help your laws change there too!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 If anything this has brought very stimulating and important conversation here. It is so important to look into these matters concerning especially our children. I had my children's vaccines spread out at least 1 month apart. My ped. Drs. had no problem with this. If fact my first ped. doc. was from the old school (retired) and only did it this way. In the hospital where I work we pulled the hep B vaccine because of the additives. Most of the pediatricians were recommending a later start date than birth. Just a note I didn't have my children vaccinated against chicken pox. I chose the wait until they were school age to see if they acquired it on their own and they did except for my three yr. old. I worry about getting shigles or the pox when an adult if the vaccine doesn't have long term immunity. The vaccine is relatively new yet and we have yet to see. Hope I didn't stir up controversy...

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 , I love the names of your children! The homeopathic treatments the kids have had, isn't this suppose to help remove the impurities that the vaccines dump into the body? I thought I had read about this a while ago and can't remember where. Could you elaborate on this? Thanks tons and I am so glad that Scarlett is doing great!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 , You didn't stir anything up...when I brought it up it was because of the auto immunity issues that are being connected with vaccines, the lack of long term studies and the risk factor because we all have autoimmune here to our children. Besides, what is better than a good discussion! Believe it or not, I am not anti vaccine, just some of them, it is the additives in them that I am opposed to, the young age they begin attacking our children with them...no one as explained to me WHY they must be vaccinated before their immune systems were developed. Also, when something is govt. mandated but there is no one held accountable for the serious reactions and death that are occurring but no one pays for that...so mandating them, holding no one accountable raises the red flags that they (govt./drug companies/MAYBE drs.) are aware of the DANGERS that exist. Who knows, maybe there are long term studies out there, but they don't dare release the results of them because it is not good! Anyhow, great discussion going, whether one is pro or con, it does get us thinking. How is the pregnancy going? How much longer and how are you feeling?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 , When my mom got shingles in the late 80's her dr. made the connection between shingles and chicken pox with her and asked if she had been around any child who had recently had or was exposed to chicken pox. There is a connection, I just haven't searched for it. Also, who got shingles in his one eye and lost the vision also is IDD. I didn't think about that when I first wrote about him.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hi Jody and - Jody-Well, they've definitely screwed up in the past (and will in the future). And I do think there is probably a relationship between vaccines and the later development of autoimmune disease. They pump too many vaccines at once into babies with immature immune systems. That never ever happened in nature. So I think your concern is warranted. -Thankyou for answering my question. I think this is an important discussion to bring up since so many of us are the parents of small children. I had brought this up with our next door neighbor. She's a pediatric respiratory therapist at our local children's hospital and was telling me about all the unnecessary deaths she sees from children going unvaccinated. I hadn't really thought it was such a problem until I spoke to her and it frightened me. Such a quandary. I think it's good to be cautious regarding both sides. Anyways, I'm off to the coast with my hubby today for our 14th anniversary. I did get positively diagnosed with PCOS so we have our work cut out for us in the babymaking department.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Doris, You are right. We probably won't be able to have a choice. Schools decide policy. Governments decide policy. My niece had a terrible reaction to her first whooping cough vaccine. Naturally we didn't want her to have a second but the school board required that she have another. It took months of work to get her into school and this was 14 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hi karen, I'm glad you " stirred " this up - in my book, this isn't controversy, but the type of conversation that makes better parents and, in the long run, better citizens. It was nice to hear how you vaccinated your kids. . . we're thinking if we do give Scarlett (our chid who ahd the reaction) any more immunizations it would be polio (which does exist in the world, even in some parts of the US) and tetanus (I haven't ever heard of a negative reaction to this one and it seems the most likely illness to get) and when she's older, the shot for German measles, I think (the type that can cause problems in pregnancy). So we're now considering these vaccinations and would do them far apart. I can't imagine giving her any others, however. Jody -- as for homeopathy, the treatment strengthens one's original constitution. So whatever remedy you get as a constitutional, long term treatment strengthens your immune system, heart, the whole shebang. Various other remedies are given to antidote certain substances or diseases. I have to say that I thought homeopahty was a bunch of hooey until I tried it myself. When I first got Graves, I started homeopathy before anything--before weaning Scarlett or macrobiotics, etc. and saw an immediate and dramatic effect.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Jody, I'll find out more the next time I see the homeopath - in about a week. You'll love this: our homeopath is an M.D. who still has his medical license. He doesn't practice now, though. His specialty? Infectious diseases. Who is making the strongest case that the only immunization Scarlett should get (when she's a teenager) is measles? This doctor. I'm not totally sold . . . as I said, we're considering some shots. I also just got a tentanus vaccine after jabbing myself with a rusty nail. But it is reassuring, as an academic, to know that the issue is not as clear-cut as most doctors make it, that there are doctors out here who are leery of vaccines, too. Such a tough issue! I almost don't want a third baby because I would have to decide what to do!! Almost . . .

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hi , Thanks for finding out for me. I think that is fascinating about the MD that gave up that form of medicine to practice homeopathy! I have heard that many of the new drs. coming out of med school are also taking 18 mos. of natural healing somewhere in AZ. I'm not sure where or what school, but it sure is encouraging to see some of the new breed look at a combination. If there are certain shots you would like the kids to have, I can send you privately Dr. Roy Kerry of Greenville, Pa.'s phone number and address and he or his office should be able to put you in touch with a dr. in your area who gives vaccines in the purest form and they are mixed fresh...none are a combination. Would you like me to send you the Megson Report on vaccines and autoimmunity?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 Hi Jody, no we have no religious exemption. I think that's what made it so difficult.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 I have to agree. My own son had a severe reaction to a DTP and MMR vaccine. He had severe seizures and was hospitalized. We never gave him another shot. my oldest son had his shots but we wish we would of never given his. We didn't know it at the time that he had fanconi anemia and that giving him some of the shots could wipe out his immune system that was already failing. Since his transplant we have decided not to immunize him because some of the other children had died as a result of their immunizations. As for my daughter, she has never had an immunization and has been the healthiest. I do still struggle with the decision too but I am not about to risk another child having a seizure or any more problems. One of the best web sites about vaccines and reactions is at www.909shot.com, I believe or its .org. Darla Lindenmayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very important one for people to understand if we are going to be responsible parents to the babies, the people, we bring into the world. We should definitely have some understanding of this. I wish I had. Who knows what autoimmune problems have been triggered by vaccines in any of us or our children. In deciding to vaccinate or not, it seems to me that it is a high-stakes gamble either way. I guess we just make a choice and hope we pick the right option...

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 , Thanks so much for replying; it helps me to feel as if I'm making the right decision in regards to those shots. They do seem the most important, to me, and the least likely to cause Scarlett harm. On my bad days, I really, really wish we KNEW for sure which vaccine caused the reaction. Alas. When she gets these, as she probably will when she's a bit older, I will do them one at a time. . .

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2001 Report Share Posted June 12, 2001 , Sorry to take so long, I've been working non-stop for the last few days and got myself into the exhausted realm briefly. Catering is like that, either dead quiet or swamped. Another few weeks and I slow way down again. Briefly, I was diagnosed by my gyn way back in about 1975, when my oldest was 3 years old. I had classic symptoms including sudden facial hair, thickening waist, lowering voice, and my period stopped dead. I honestly don't remember all the tests they ran, probably blood work I guess, but I remember the little drawing she made of an ovary with what looked like rice crispies all over it. I also remember being offered some treatment options but I don't remember exactly what they were, only that I was freaked out and immersed in my doctor-phobia, and also at the time, living very hand-to-mouth, short-order cooking single mom of a 3 year old, no med insurance, and my head in a bad place. I do remember a full year without a period. As I mentioned, I short-order cooked, and did it right in front of the counter where customers sat. I did breakfast/lunch shift, and had many " regulars " . One who I got to know was an acupuncturist, one of the first in the area, Zeiger. He was initially a pharmacologist, and had a fairly small, new practice as an acupuncturist and herbalist at the time. I'm sure I was upset enough over all of this that it showed, and I've no real memory how we started talking about it--but he decided to treat me, at minimal charge since I had no money. I saw him for 6 months, every 5 days for acupuncture and boiled his herbal concoctions and drank them faithfully. The symptoms gradually disappeared, my period came back, and it was gone. Gone so completely that the gyn. who had taken over my old one's practice and who I still see, didn't believe I ever had PCOS despite all the records. Anyway, that's what started me trusting Chinese medicine. While it's not perfect, it cured me, it cured my son's horrible asthma, and at this point, it keeps me in far better shape than I imagine I'd be in without it. Hope this helps!
