Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 You may want to check out the NVIC at www.nvic.org <http://www.nvic.org/> . Also, you may want to check out Dr. Cave's book, if you haven't already. It's called " What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You about Childhood Vaccinations. " Pamela " Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 The current polio vaccine is IPV (inactivated polio vaccine). The live OPV (oral polio vaccine) has long been discontinued. Since we were traveling to India this summer, I gave my ASD son his IPV booster (he is 5 yrs old), because polio is endemic there. I don't know about the contents of the vaccine other than it doesn't contain Hg and it doesn't contain a live virus (hence, inactivated). It probably contains Al (most vaccines do). It really was the lesser of 2 evils for us, because of the travel to India. People who grew up in the 40s and 50s still remember how awful a disease polio was and even my DAN! strongly recommended it because my son had no titres to polio. Anyway, my son had no ill effects from it and I'm glad we did it. If you are travelling in 2007 to a country where polio is endemic, I would certainly seriously consider the IPV for your 6 year old. All the best! D > > I have a six year old daughter (my son is the one with Autism) who, I > am told by her doctor, is in need of a Polio shot.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 My Sister got polio when she was five and her one leg is useless. She has had a normal life anyway, but if there is no mercury in this vaccine I recommend vaccination. I also went to school with a boy who had it and walked with a limp only so he was lucky. A man who used to cut my hair had one arm that was useles due to polio. Many, many children were affected and after vaccine, almost noone, so it isn't something to be avoided if it is safe now. --- deedee1054 <deedee1054@...> wrote: > The current polio vaccine is IPV (inactivated > polio vaccine).

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Last I heard, all the reported cases of polio in the US (and probably Canada) were among vaccinated folks (caused by the vaccine). Are you going to a developing nation? Here's the ingredient list I found: IPOL Inactivated Polio Vaccine Connought Laboratories 1-800-822-2463 Produced using 3 types of polio virus, formaldehyde, phenoxyethanol (antifreeze), neomycin, streptomycin, polymixin B. Medium: VERO cells, a continuous line of Monkey kidney cells.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 There are some other things to consider about vaccines (mercury-free or not). Many of them contain other metals for preservatives such as aluminum. If your kids have a genetic weakness for appropriately detoxing metals, you should be very cautious of introducing anything of this nature into their systems. I, personally, am not so trusting of the vaccine manufacturers anymore. Even if they told me their vaccines were completely free of all metals with no monkey or baby " debris " in the mix, I wouldn't believe them to be true to their word. And you never know when you'll get a vaccine from a batch that was " botched " but not considered important enough to withold from public distribution.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 On the DAN! videos from Boston 2005, does a marvelous talk on vacines. She addresses polio specifically. It was a real eye opener for me. bbw <barb1283@...> wrote: My Sister got polio when she was five and her one leg is useless.
