Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 what about " Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy by Kirby " I haven't read it yet...I just bought it.  PWC ________________________________ From: G <luckylot@...> Sent: Thu, May 13, 2010 1:42:30 PM Subject: [ ] X-post - Venting and need help with book suggestions  Hi everyone, I I also posted this on the Recovery group, but I want as many opinions as possible. The reason I am writing, is because I have a little sister who just had her first baby boy by emergency c-section at 34 weeks gestation two weeks ago. She had NO amniotic fluid and was having severe swelling and high blood pressure linked to pre-eclempsia. The doctor said that something went wrong with the placenta, after the delivery, but I am not sure what. So here is my concern....we have the genetics that equate to autism, she has a mouth full of silver, she definitely reacts to foods, many of them but she does nothing about it, she has diarrhea, constipation, bloating, yeast infections, mood swings like CRAAAAZY, major PMS symptoms that put her in bed for days each month, she now craves sugar when she never even liked it before, she doesn't eat enough protein, she went against my advice and got the H1N1 vaccine WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT!! I convinced her not to vaccinate the baby, BUT now I am hearing that while in the hospital, the father of the baby was pushing REALLY hard and even fought with my other sister about it pretty badly, so now I don't know if they vaccinated this itty bitty teeny weeny under 4 pound baby before he went home!! I'm sure she wouldn't tell me if they did, because she knows how strongly I feel about it, especially for such a tiny infant who won't even be in daycare. He was doing great though, never needed help breathing, latches on well and other than the usual can't-keep-the- newborn-awake- to-finish- nursing syndrome, he is doing fabulously. The hospital even gave him probiotics since his first day of birth, kudos to the hospital!! So now here is my concern, they are supplementing him (they meaning the hospital is suggesting it and my sister is following the rules) with preemie formula for added weight gain. I don't know what is in that stuff, but from my experience with other formulas, I'm assuming it includes all types of corn syrups, cow's milk proteins, soy proteins, flavorings, etc...am I right? This once very calm and mellow baby is now about 2 weeks old and is becoming fussy (not crying, as she puts it) and she thinks he needs to poop. I feel like that might be a sign of something digestive going on. She is giving him probiotics that I recommended, (dairy free, GI proHealth) but I fear that the formula or even something in her diet could be the problem. How on earth do you teach a very defiant little sister how to prevent these issues that run rampant in our family? We have depression, allergies, OCD, ADD, alcoholism and then my kids who have major GI issues, my oldest just possibly missing the diagnosis of aspergers (as long as we keep on the path we are on), but has SPD....the list goes on. I would get her a book to reference, but they all cram autism down your throat and that isn't the way to teach prevention, although I understand that is the possible ultimate demise of a child who isn't well, but I just don't think her or the father of the baby would take that seriously. Everyone believes it is genetic and that there is nothing you can do about that. In fact, my other sister has already told them both that he thinks I stretch the facts in my situation with my boys when in fact, the truth is that I don't really even share it all with them, how bad it can be. I already bought her a book on vaccines, I share every link I can find on the details of what causes these issues and even the fact that boys are more effected. I don't want to cause her first experience to be riddled with stress and confusion either, but I also know that it's those feelings that drive us warrior moms to do what we do...so I want to tread lightly, but I really am VERY worried about this baby's ability to be healthy, if they don't take these things seriously. They have an opportunity right now, in front of them, to keep this baby as healthy as possible, but the father of the baby is a true roadblock! He has two other kids who aren't entirely " right " either and he feeds them crap like lolly pops before bed or upon waking, ice cream every night in front of the tv, I think you probably get my point. Are there any books or sites that come to mind when you think of what you wish you knew " before " it all started for you? Is it even possible to get someone on board for prevention when they truly just don't know how bad it can get? I live states away from them and this particular sister has never seen the worst of my kid's situation, but my other sister has. She has tried talking to her too, from her own experiences here with us. That is when her fight ensued with the father of the baby about how I am making these things up. I don't know what else to do, I just care too much I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hello I had a 34 week baby under 4 pound in december.She did fine on breastmilk and gained 45gms per day on it.2 days that the doctors put her on formula she gained 20gms. If your brother in law is serious about vaccinating...........there is nothing much we can do about it but robert sears book called " the vaccine book " clearly says children need no vaccination before they are 6 months old.He also give an alternate vaccine schedule to delay vaccines and reduce the number of shots.Maybe if they wait for 6 months you can talk to your sister again about delaying it till he shows no signs of autism. We cannot force our decision as it is their child but we sure can pray for the little one regards Laila From: Concerned Parent <parentwithconcerns@...> Subject: Re: [ ] X-post - Venting and need help with book suggestions Received: Thursday, May 13, 2010, 2:30 PM  what about " Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy by Kirby " I haven't read it yet...I just bought it.  PWC ____________ _________ _________ __ From: G <luckylotptd (DOT) net> Sent: Thu, May 13, 2010 1:42:30 PM Subject: [ ] X-post - Venting and need help with book suggestions  Hi everyone, I I also posted this on the Recovery group, but I want as many opinions as possible.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 When I vaccinated my son, I wasn't a roadblock in the way of his health. I love my son intensely and thought I was doing the right thing. Please see the father as the loving parent he is, and not as an adversary. Here's the latest book being recommended as a great way for parents to educate themselves about vaccines, so they can make an informed choice. I hope it helps: http://www.amazon.com/Informed-Vaccine-Decision-Health-Child/dp/1881217361 > > Hi everyone, I I also posted this on the Recovery group, but I want as many opinions as possible.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi, you might also want to suggest reading : What Your Dr. May Not Tell You About Childhood Vaccinations by Dr. Cave and I also recommend Evidence of Harm by Kirby.. it is always best to educate yourself, some of us weren't; that lucky, had we known what could have happened, we might have read more and investigated before the day we were all doomed.. I feel now it is better to be safe than sorry.. I hope this helps.. Take Care.
