Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hi, I have 5 kids,2 are in the autistic spectrum.please explore all your options before getting the flu shot for your child.check out the internet for 909shot.also be aware that the flu shot and mist have mercury in them.my youngest child has not had any vaccinations since he was 6months old and I wish I had been better educated about it and he would not have gotten any!!!!He was very delayed but is making wonderful progress on the proefa and GFCF DIET Theresa Re: [ ] Re: Flu shot for Late talker???

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hello I am not letting my two have any more shots if I can possibly help it. They can put all the pressure they like on me, but I don't believe they can back up their safety claims. If you have doubts, I suggest you choose flu, rather than risk shots - that is, assuming your daughter is not asthmatic, in which case, flu might be the more dangerous. Good luck, Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 If you want your child to get the flu vaccine, make sure to request the preservative free one (These will go quickly so ask now). Here's some links on it: http://www.drgreene.com/21_1834.html http://www.drgreene.com/21_1801.html Note, that even mercury- " free " vaccines can have trace amounts of mercury (<0.5 ug mercury/dose, Fluzone® Preservative-free has a pink syringe plunger). http://www.vaccineshoppe.com/US_PDF/Fluzone_2004.2005_4991.4992.pdf When giving any shots, follow the DAN protocol: Specifically: NEVER vaccinate ill children or children recovering from an infection. Use Thimersol / Mercury free vaccines Space vaccines - do not give multiple vaccines in 1 day. Give RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances) of Vitamin C before and after vaccines Give a natural form of Vitamin A ( cod liver oil ) to keep RDA's at level at all times for the age. Make sure you have a mercury free cod liver oil!!! I use the Children's DHA capsules by Nordic Naturals since it is Cod Liver oil with Vitamin A and it is free of heavy metals. Read more here: http://www.tacanow.com/danprotocal.htm http://www.tacanow.com/containingmercury.htm http://www.tacanow.com/vrules.htm Whether you give your child the preservative free Flu vaccine or no vaccine is a personal choice based on the individual child. Some children are more at risk from getting the Flu than others (those who have asthma or are prone to respiratory infections). You know your child best...

It is pacgaed in individual doses and frozen to preserve it. My son had it last year and did get mildly ill for a few days as is somewhta common with live viruses. Even the low-thimeresol flu vaccine isn't thimeresol free. My son's neuro is fine on getting the flumist but not any of the flu shots. Avoiding the high fevers that come with flu is our main reason for vaccinating since with neurological issues and higher than normal seizure risk. Kids have to be over age 5 and not have asthma or some other specific health issues to get Flumist though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 As with all vaccines, you have to weigh the risk versus the benefits. We get the flu shot every year. My daughters and I are all high risk. My daughters are even higher risk than me. They almost died of a respiratory virus (RSV) when they were 6 weeks old. One of them has severe asthma. I also have asthma, so that is why I should get the flu shot. I'm more worried about the side effects of the flu then I am about the side effects of the flu vaccine. The side effects of the flu for my kids and I include death (or severe illness, hospitalization, etc). If you and your kids are healthy, then I don't see why you would need the flu shot.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 You don't automatically tell someone not to get the flu shot. You are not their doctor. You do not know their health. The flu is very serious for people with respiratory and other illnesses. The real complications are more serious than the possibility of maybe getting something from the vaccine. My kids are very high risk of serious complications death from the flu. I've taken my chances with the flu shot every year, and my kids have not had any adverse reactions. My kids almost died of a respiratory illness when they were 6 weeks old (RSV). My daughter's brain damage is a result of complications from RSV. RSV is not as deadly as the flu. I thank God for flu vaccines and whooping cough vaccines. > > > > I need advice ASAP > > Should My 3.75 Year old Late talker get flu shot if there is some > info that > > ingredients in flu shots could cause autism or neirological problem > > Please tell me what do you think I feel helpless > > > > thanks a lot > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 No I am not their doctor, but i have listened to docotrs before,with some consequence and I wont go into that here and actually work with them, and to be honest unless you have a preexisting condition, there is no need to get one.By the way in the ER last night we had a very energetic 65 y/o grandmother with no other issues, receive her flu shpot October 4th and she is now hallucinating, hasn't eaten, and has " other neurological " things going on I won't get into, so it isn't all benign, I just know what I know. <suzi_knowles@p...> wrote: > > > You don't automatically tell someone not to get the flu shot. > > You are not their doctor.
