TGIF! Have an awesome weekend everyone! I am hoping for a laaaazy weekend with my hubby and kids. I really hope hubby won’t try and talk me into going to Zoombezi Bay but I think I will be outnumbered if he does.
I went garage sale hopping this morning but there weren’t that many unfortunately and the lack of available sales made for traffic jams and buying frenzy at the few there were. I think the economy is getting to people. I bought one book today…one of those Little Golden books that I used to have when I was kid called The Monster at the End of This Book. I used to love it and I am sure my kids will too. I got it for a quarter.
I wrote for some other blogs this week so check out Getting Rid of Bugs Naturally and Getting Plenty of Protein from a Raw Diet.
Other cool links I found this week include:
The Forest Gump Homeschool Method – A really helpful look at how challenging it can be to homeschool, especially with higher needs children and how it is okay to take a break and see where their interests lead.
Related to that I found a cool website that creates cool printable handwriting worksheets where you choose the words. These will be awesome for handwriting and spelling practice. I can use scrap paper too.
This list of homemade art supplies and recipes is cool too.
I bookmarked this Etsy store that sells Waldorf Playstands. I think this will be my daughter’s 5th 
year birthday present.
This week she got a pretty cool toy from Melissa and Doug. It is a Nina Ballerina Magnetic Dress-Up Doll and she can’t quit playing with it. It comes in a nice wooden box and has a flat doll made of wood. She can be made to stand inside a small wooden doll stand. You can then dress her up with magnetic clothes. There are many different tops, skirts, dresses, hair ribbons/tiaras, shoes, etc. It is pretty fun. It is only $8.75 at Amazon and they also have several other similar dolls too.
I wanted to get free shipping so I also got the wooden spelling puzzle board…also from Melissa and Doug. It too is really pretty cool. It has 10 two-sided spelling boards and over 70 wooden letters. Place the colorful wooden letters in their proper places to spell words. It makes learning fun!
And did you happen to catch the latest buzz in the anti-vaccine community? Amanda Peet was recently interviewed and the subject of vaccines came up. She basically lambasted non-vaccinating parents and called them parasites. She has decided to fully vaccinate her daughter with no alternative schedule or delays and she feels comfortable with this because get this….she is “educated” on the matter. I had to laugh my hind off after reading that because almost every single non-vaccinating parent I know has devoted many, many hours and weeks to researching vaccines, their side effects, the problems associated with them and their ingredients, ect. Many have been researching this stuff on and off for YEARS.
Amanda Peet claims to be educated because she discussed vaccines with an infectious diseases doctor at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. This doctor also happens to be a co-inventor of the rotavirus vaccine, and a board member of Every Child by Two, a pro-vaccine organization cofounded in 1991. Does she really expect that a doctor making money off of vaccine sales to be honest with her???? Sorry but I have lost all respect for Amanda Peet. Non-vaccinating parents don’t give two hoots if other parents choose to vaccinate…we won’t name call…we just want the medical community and other parents (who really have done the research) to admit that there is risk involved with vaccination. We aren’t parasites…we did our research and we came to the conclusion that the vaccine side effects are more dangerous than the probability of getting the diseases they protect against. If other parents find the opposite to be true…fine…to each his own….but no name calling at the non-vaccinating parents ok? If your vaccines are so great then why are you even worried about the non-vaccinated kids hmm???
Read: The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child
Okay….now I am hoppin mad and ready to go do some cardio kickboxing….but I have one last link for those feeling crafty. Check out these crayon roll/travel pouch hybrids….pretty awesome!
Have a great weekend all!
I don’t know who this Amanda woman is. I don’t get caught up in all the speculation as to what causes Autism. There is no proof that one specific thing causes it, so why get yourself all worked up about it. My son was Autistic before he was born. I won’t get into the details, but he was, so the shots had nothing to do with it in his case. He is severely Autistic, with very little hope of being able to live on his own when he is older. I sometimes think parents stir up too much controversy over the issue which hinders the chances of finding the true cause. Sorry, that is my opinion. I also think it is up to each parent whether or not they want to give vaccines to their children. Why is that even an issue? It’s nobody else’s business.
We have the Monster at the End of This Book also. It is really a great book. We bought it at the thrift store!
My wife and I decided to vaccinate our daughter. She is 16 months old now and so far the vaccines have not adversely affected her. I am very glad for those who fight for safer vaccines. Who doesn’t want that? But I believe that we as a society have forgotten what it was like to have simple influenze devastated this country, or when polio struck down so many. Because of vaccines, we no longer die from the flu, and how many of us know someone who got polio lately?
Again, I want to reiterate that I am not against keeping a watchful eye on vaccine programs and the like. I am very much for it, but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
And I’m curious why making money from some invention automatically discredits their word?
Should I not listen to Tiffany, the Author of this blog, now because she is making money from this blog? How much money does one have to make before they are automatically cast away as untrustworthy?
I pink puffy heart you. :)
And to Cindi: My eldest son was autistic from birth too. Has never been vaccinated. However, now he is doing heavy mental detox, dumping mercury like crazy in his urine, and the ONLY way he could have mecury in his body is from ME. And I was vaccinated well into adulthood because I worked in an ER. I also had silver fillings.
The vaccines aren’t exonerated just because a child is autistic from birth. Studies show that mercury can pass to the baby in the womb and also through breastmilk if the mother is holding on to it in her own body.
I wish it were easier to discuss things through the written word. I am always trying to couch my language in a kind and conciliatory way so those who read my statements aren’t offended. Alas, I am not perfect when writing in a non-confrontational way, so people still do get offended.
Tiffany, I hope you don’t think I was attacking you. I enjoy reading your blog, and I learn from it. I may disagree with some points along the way, though.
My last point with regard to a doctor making money from his vaccine still stands, and I ask again: How much money does one have to make before they start to be doubted?
I just think that we should leave the whole “he makes money from the vaccine” argument out of this.
To be fair, we don’t know this doctor. We don’t know his heart. I bet that he wanted to come up with a vaccine to help people, and he believes it does help people. I think so too (at this point–I can be dissuaded if I find evidence to the contrary).
I’ve seen two sides of this issue. First, for my son’s one year physical he received 3 shots – within 24 hours he was in the hospital for severe respiratory distress. “It wasn’t the vaccines – it’s not a known side effect”. My response: How can you expect every single baby, toddler and child react the same when their immune system is getting slammed by 3 different vaccines in one shot? Didn’t get an answer.
Because my son was in day care, he still needed to receive the vaccines. However, to this day, he does not receive more than one vaccine per office visit. His scheduled vaccines are given with two weeks between each one.
Now, the flip side: An un-vaccinated baby brought RSV to the daycare and 3 toddlers, including my son, caught it and were hospitalized. I know it was very irresponsible of the parent to bring the poor sick baby to day care in the first place, but if they had followed the rules likes the rest of us, my son wouldn’t have spent 8 days in the hospital the week before Christmas. (PS: My son was past the age to receive the RSV shot,)
I think vaccines have their pros and cons.And I strongly believe that parents need to be able to choose whether or not to vaccinate their kids.My son was a preemie with an immature immune system. I do believe that most of the vaccines he has received were necessary when he was a baby. (I say most because WHY did he need the chicken pox vaccine?). But now as a healthy and robust toddler, I don’t think they are.
But I follow the rules here in NJ and vaccinate my child. The only way out of it here is for religious reasons, not moral. And I’m not going to change my faith, or pretend to, to get out of it because that’s wrong.
I saw her quote in usweekly and about wanted to jump through the paper and give her a piece of my mind! She has no idea how many hours — weeks — months of research I did on the suibject before I came to my decision. She has no idea what type of reactions my son had from them. Oh it ticked me off to make such a general statement about all parents who dont vaccinate AND calling our kids parasites!
I think it is important to remember that vaccines helps to protect from infectious disease but that does not keep people from getting the disease and to actually die from the disease. With that said there are alternatives to getting a child vaccinated.
The bottom line is that most things that cause a huge controversy is usually steeped in controversy. The issue here is that Vaccines equal money and most doctors know this but won’t say it. They also know the dangers and should inform parents, but they don’t do that either.
Whether or not a child is vaccinated has nothing to do with why a disease or virus may spread. People with vaccines spread disease. I was vaccinated and had Chicken pox that I spread to my niece when we little. My mother caught shingles from someone else who was vaccinated.
Just some food for thought
The Amanda Peet story irks me to no end and avail! I am one of the alleged “parasite” moms and even though my husbamd and I are 100% behind our decision to not vaccinate, it is still a difficult decision to stand behind almost every single day. Did we do our research? Did we EVER! We researched before our son was born and have continued to research the issue still, three years later. I hate the persecution non-vaccinating parents receive just in trying to take care of our children. I use the age-old argument here: “If your vaccinations work sooooo well, then why do you care what the rest of us do?” Thanks for the post–I have lost respect for her, too…or maybe just feel sorry for her….
That Amanda Peet thing had me fuming for a couple of days until I realized how stupid it was for me to get mad about it. She has her views, I have mine. I just hope that the general population will do their own research and educate themselves rather than getting caught up listening to her PSA.
You’ve been tagged and awarded by me :)
Cheers!!!
Ted,
What am I …Tiffany and author of this blog asking you to believe? I only share my opinions and say as much. My opinions aren’t going to poison your child either…nor will I have billions of dollars to snuggle up with to appease my guilt if they did. The comparison is kind of weak.
The problem I have with any pharma rep touting their vaccines is that according to them…there is only one side of the issue….theirs. They claim that vaccines are 100% safe and that autism and a host of other issues that can be caused by vaccines are actually caused by some other mysterious source…but no way no day will they ever let their money makers become suspect. And frankly Ted….I believe they darn well know that those vaccines aren’t safe for every child. They are trying to keep it a secret. I have yet to read of ANY vaccine maker acknowledging a serious risk.
Now I have ZERO issues with parents who vaccinate. I vaccinated my first child. I am for informed consent though. I want each and every single doctor to tell their patients all the reason why they SHOULD vaccinate and all the resons why maybe they SHOULDN’T and let parents decide which risk is greater. But that will never happen in the medical community because vaccines equal money. To say that there is no risk with vaccines is selling something…especially in light of the fact that our own government has a pay-off fund to hush hush vaccine injury lawsuits.
Also Ted, research has proven that many diseases were being erradicated before vaccines came on the scene. I have posted about that before with links. So if you believe that vaccines saved us….well I am sorry but IN MY OPINION…you have been been scammed.
Edited the orginal post to inlcude this bit, so that vaccinating parents don’t the wrong idea and think I am attacking them:
Non-vaccinating parents don’t give two hoots if other parents choose to vaccinate…we won’t name call…we just want the medical community and other parents (who really have done the research) to admit that there is risk involved with vaccination. We aren’t parasites…we did our research and we came to the conclusion that the vaccine side effects are more dangerous than the probability of getting the diseases they protect against. If other parents find the opposite to be true…fine…to each his own….but no name calling at the non-vaccinating parents ok? If your vaccines are so great then why are you even worried about the non-vaccinated kids hmm???
My husband and I have decided not to vaccinate our son, who is three months old. I find it interesting that many vaccinating parents are in the same camp with Amanda Peets, and think it’s horrible to not vaccinate. And yet only about 1 in 5 babies is still being breastfed at 12 months. We know that breastfeeding is a natural way to strengthen the immune system. So if those parents are so concerned with immunity, why not breastfeed longer?
We came to our decision by looking at pros and cons. In our area, pertussis the the primary threat as far as childhood illnesses. Our son won’t be in daycare, and he’ll be breastfed for at least a year, so his risk isn’t that great. But when I researched pertussis, it seemed that the main reason babies die from it (mostly in developing countries) is dehydration and malnutrition caused by coughing-induced vomiting. So while it would suck huge to get pertussis, in a country where we can get sick babies into a hospital and on iv fluids, there isn’t a very great risk of dying if the baby is healthy and breastfed. Most likely, he would recover and have no lasting effects from the pertussis. But for the host of other issues that *might* be related to vaccines (basically all the crud that people can be diagnosed with and that we don’t understand a cause…) there can be serious and long-lasting effects, things that can’t be fixed with iv fluids and known medications. We debated for a very long time about this, but eventually decided to not vaccinate. We’re not all-knowing, and I realize that every decision has a consequence. I don’t care at all whether other parents choose to vaccinate – I know it’s a very tough decision and a personal one. I just think that parents should respect each other’s right to make this decision without criticism.
I second that – what you said about vaccinating parents being concerned about nonvaxxed kids. It betrays their lack of real faith in the product itself. Wouldn’t unvaxxed kids only be a danger to themselves? Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Vaccines will eventually go the way of mercury, tobacco, and now dental amalgams.
First they’re touted as the latestgreatest. Then people start getting sick. Then the companies have to fight lawsuits as evidence mounts that their product is dangerous. Then they pay out millions/billions in civil suits.
Then everyone thinks they knew it all along. ;)
Hi Cara!
Just something to think about. We all know that getting sick causes your body to build its own immunity. In a perfect world you would get sick but get through it and build your own LIFE LONG immunity without the help of a vaccine. Your immunity would be passed to your baby too through breastmilk and they would be protected until their own immune system was able to protect them. Vaccine immunity is not only NOT life long it cannot be passed along to baby as nature intended. So the very fact that babies get these diseases stems FROM the vaccination movement.
I have chosen never to live in a state where vaccination is required. But I would probably convert or invent my own religion if I had to. ;)
Amanda Peet did apologize for her comment by the way…
Excellent points LaTara. ;)
I agree Nell…the non-vaccinating parents I find are the ones doing the most research…not the other way around.
Ted I agree with your last comment. Making money shouldn’t automatically disqualify a product by any means…but depending on the product it should rightly make people question you. But when the product has been PROVEN to be risky and they aren’t willing to admit it…well then I reserve the right to ignore everything coming out of their mouth.
Carrie, I would love to see the day when the cat is finally out of the bag.
Yes, she did apologize…of course she used it as an opp to spout off about how right she is though and I can pretty much poke holes in all her arguments but alas no one wouldn’t have much cared about her vax choice or her PSAs if she hadn’t attacked non-vax parents with the parasite comment.
Her apology is linked to in the original post if anyone wants to read.
I’m on my tippy toes here. Walking softly on egg shells. This is a hot button issue with many emotional ties and reasons. Everyone has great points and seeing that I don’t have the books stacked high and the links to throw out to prove my point I am not going to go down the road of saying what I think or believe and why. I simply want to comment about bringing this interview to my attention. When a actress says she is not vaccinating she is attacked or supported. More these days, supported. When a actress says she is for vaccinations she disagrees (Amanda made a horrible word choice-bad, bad her) with those that chose to not vaccinate she is looked down on. More and more I am learning that the topic of vaccinations is very far from clear cut and there being a right or wrong.
Tiffany, you said it best when you said something to the effect about informed consent. I could not get my doctor to tell me one bad thing about vaccinations. After the immunizations I got the information on side effects. If doctors told us the bad first, we’d go running. That make me raise an eyebrow. Okay, I typed more than I wanted. Yikes, sorry. Great post and comments.
I am a non-vaccinated parent who currently has not yet vaccinated any of my two children ages (2 years and 9 months). Do I think that vaccines have a place in our world, absolutely without a doubt. However two things annoy me about vaccines and the doctors who give them
1) They treat all kids the same and vaccinate them like little drones. BIG mistake.
2) Parents are not fully educated about the possible deadly side effects from all vaccinations. Noted, some are much safer than others.
Until our doctors start to inform parents properly of the noted risks..and begin to realize the importance of vaccinating only when it is necessary , I think we are doing ourselves and our children a HUGE dis-service.
Mother nature has a way children. Vaccines are wonderful, but …someday our bodies could retaliate and these vaccines may not be as effective as they once were. AND furthermore…, what about the possibility of vaccines causing other auto-immune diseases? Guillaine barre? etc…That stuff is just as scary.
I’m sure you don’t need to hear any more arguments for non-vaccinating, but I’ll throw in my 2c’s anyway! My family has not vaccinated for 3 generations. We have all been extremely healthy. I still researched and came to my own decision which is this: How can I as a responsible parent subject my newborn child to a host of foreign viruses? Newborn babies have to deal with so much just to thrive, they don’t need to be fighting off diseases too. As my children get older, I will make the decision to vaccinate or not for single diseases they may become exposed too. For example chicken pox. Being that my children are female, they will probably get a chicken pox vaccine because they have not been exposed to it and I don’t want them to get it when they are older.
I also believe that there is nothing wrong with getting a little sick once in a while, it developes strong character! We don’t medicate with every sniffle, we suffer through it and come out stronger.
It should also be noted that laws have been passed so that people cannot sue pharma companies for vaccine injury. I realize that everyone and their mother would be suing, but um, hello? Everyone and their mother would be suing.
It is a hot button Sommer..I personally think it has much to do with the fact that actually witnessing your child deteriorate after a vaccine isn’t “enough” for the medical community. They want hard data before they admit there may be a connection or alter the way vaccines are handled and if you are one of those parents that saw the connection with your own eyes…it is beyond frustrating. ;) And then you get called a parasite on top of it.
I have read plenty of comments lately attacking Peet and McCarthy but I have to say I feel McCarthy has a right to jump into the ring so to speak…she lived this nightmare. Peet may very well be getting paid by the vax community so they too can have their very own celebrity mouthpiece. She has no personal experience with it.
hsladyrose love your points. The whole vaccine industry needs to go back to the drawing board and figure out something that works.
I just reread my post and it came off as slightly confusing! I chose not to vaccinate, we fortunately go to a progressive charter school which doesn’t give us too much trouble with the philosophical waiver.
statia,
Totally! If vax companies actually feel they have a good product that does not harm people then have the decency to stand behind it! Instead they lobby to have laws passed that eliminate their liability when their product does in fact harm people. If that doesn’t send a warning flag to people I am not sure what will.
grrrl,
Next we will have vaccines for upset tummy, headache, and the runs. ;)
I was angered by the Amanda Peet comment as well. Also, who is she to say anything? She had an interview in a magazine no one has ever heard of and her last movie was about dancing on a bar. She isn’t even a celebrity, let alone a vaccine expert.
I have vaccinated both my kids without any side effects to sniffle at thank goodness… A friend of mine had a terible reaction with her son to his nine month shots and this set him back developmentally for over three years. I would never want to see someone have to go through what they did to get their child “recovered.” However there were signs early on that they should not have given the vaccine to this child. I think one must have a very acute doctor and their own strong sense of their childs health before giving a vaccine. My doctor is very conservative when administering shots and if there is any question to the current health (colds etc) or long term health (chronic conditions) vaxines are just not given. Each child should be evaluated on a case by case basis for vaccines.
I agree with an earlier comment above that we all do not know what it is like to have diseases wipe out our populations or cripple individuals for life. It is easy to say dont vaxinate now when diseases are not prevalent in our country and it is not likely you will get polio for example. Historically, some of the diseases that we vaccinate for would cyclically rise but never go away. So I remain pro-vaccines so long as they are used with intelligence in application. The only vaccine I think should be eliminated it the chicken pox one as it appears to have the lowest efficacy. My son was vaxinated and still got chicken pox, albeit very mild with about 7 small sized pox on his torso. Who can say whether he would have contracted a “bad” case if he was vaccinated or not, I will never know. But I still want him to have his shots.
Last question to through out there is: Why are autism rates higher in the U.S. than other countries that use the same vaccines? I live in the San Francisco Bay area an they are higher here than anywhere else. There must be environmental factors that have not been isolated. Bottom line is some babies are on the borderline of autism and the shots likely push them over the edge but for what reason remains unclear. I long for the day when this gets settled since this remains such a hot topic in my community.
Brooke, thanks! I was going to be mean, too, but you beat me to it :) She’s never played anyone smart in a movie and now I know why…
But enough bashing, I swore I wouldn’t do it. We vaccinated our first son selectively, and then decided nothing for #2 until 6 months….that came and we pushed it off until 1 year…now 1 year is almost here and I just don’t want to do it. Hopefully hubby will agree, but he’s an ER nurse and already gets tons of flak at work for our choices (but he’s getting so good at standing up for his views!).
The poor babies of America….I can’t understand how ANYONE would think it’s ok to inundate a newborn baby with all those vaccines! Hep B at birth! Are you kidding me?!?!
It saddens me that our society has changed the epidemiology and etiology (see, I did my research, too, Amanda Peet!!) of so many diseases….like you pointed out, Tiffany, there are so many antibodies that we can’t pass on through breast milk b/c we never had the natural diseases ourselves. What a bummer. I can only hope to catch it myself first and get the Ab’s to my babe! Diseases like chicken pox, meant by nature to be caught in youth, will now be caught at a more dangerous time (um, college?) when vaccine protection is waning.
Still, the New York Post (I think it was the Post, at least) article infuriated me WAY more than Amanda Peet’s stupid comments. Do you know how long I spent trying to figure out how to leave a reply to the online article?!?!
And lastly, to reiterate what so many of you have said….WHY are these parents so worried about unvaccinated kids if their children are “protected” so well by the stupid vaccines?! Won’t we non-vaccinating families just take each other out with our diseases and be of no concern?
Love this blog! I am so glad you left a trackback on my post at 5MFSN so that I found you.
Another thumbs up for the Monster book. :)
BTW, thank you so much for the linky love.
I’m not taking a stand on vaccines but I will cast several dozen votes for the monster at the end of the book! It was a winner in our house too. Have a lovely week.
Hi All,
Quite the emotional topic… I was just wondering… maybe I missed this somewhere, but are there links somewhere to studies done about the negative outcomes from vaccines? A lot of people keep referring to injuries resulting from vaccines, and it would be helpful for everyone’s research to see what has been put together. I’ve noticed that in the medical community, nobody puts much merit on things without official research and double-blind studies and the like. If this issue is to be taken seriously by BOTH sides, there needs to be some unbiased, scientifically-based info. That’s just the way it is, whether we like it or not.
Also, I think that, as much as we all THINK we are accepting af other people’s views and decisions, our own personal biases can tend to show up here and there. I have felt very judged for decisions I have made by people who state their own view then say “but whatever you think is best”, as if their disapproval is not obvious. I’ve tried hard not to be guilty of this (although I’m sure I am at times), and I remember that sometimes it’s better to be diplomatic and choose to hold your tongue, especially when you don’t know EVERYTHING about that particular person, which is most of the time. We can all learn from each other’s knowledge, whether we think we can or not. :)
Stacey, The handouts that come with the vaccines (that doctors rarely give to you unless asked) all list the numerous side effects that have been proven by safety tests to be an issue with each vaccines.. seizures is one common one and that happens to be what happened to my son. Vaccines ended up making him an epileptic.
To my knowledge there have been NO studies done to test the cummulitive effects of vaccines which is really outrageous since kids are getting 4-5 at one time.
So, if the handouts they give you at the doc state these side effects, then it seems they (somebody?) actually ARE admitting that there are risks and possible negative outcomes. However, without official documented studies and research on the ACTUAL cases of negative outcomes, things are unlikely to change, don’t you think? I don’t know how these things get done, but it seems someone might have the desire and capability to get this started.
As for Amanda Peet’s comments, as with all comments made by overpublicized celebrities, we should all be smart enough to take them with a grain of salt. It is, as most of these things are, one person’s opinion. Just a thought… if she had instead been on the anti-vaccination side with such strong comments, would she have been celebrated, even though she “isn’t even a celebrity” and the article was in a “magazine no one has ever heard of”? :)
Tiffany, well done. I had a very unexpected gift (my son) @ 47 years young. He is now 4 years old and never been to a doctor nor had any illness and has been around most illnesses. At a mom’s group, the children who catch measles etc are always the vaccinated ones??? When I was growing up when a child had measles, there was a measles party and all the children were invited to catch them. Never heard of any children having any problems and we all survived. Also never heard of autism in those days. Now in our town we have special facilities built and everywhere I go with my son there seems to be a few austistic children.
I have chosen to vaccinate my children and that’s my choice. But I’m not calling everyone who doesn’t a PARASITE! You guys made a decision that is right for your family, just as I made one for mine. My children have had almost all of their vaccines and they are perfectly healthy, intelligent, social, they have wonderful expression of emotion, etc.
Don’t let the Amanda chick get under your skin! You know there are other non-vaccinating parents out there on your side who are just as POed about it! She definitely isn’t earning brownie points from the vaccinating parents either. What she said was uncalled for and “UNeducated”.
Thanks Joy…the no judgement stance is greatly appreciated!
I would like to second the idea of informed consent. As a naturopathic physician I tell my patients unbiasedly and very clearly the pros and cons of vaccinations. For liability reasons I cannot tell them exactly what to do but I always arm them with information about the specific diseases and potential side effects of vaccinations. I encourage parents to use this education to come up with their own vaccination schedule for their children if they choose to vaccinate. Across the board I will encourage parents to never vaccinate while their child is sick and to receive the vaccinations one at a time whenever possible.
Most importantly keeping our children’s immune system healthy and strong is their number one defense to all pathogens.
Here’s my recipe=
Low sugar, probiotics, fresh air, exercise, laughter and love!
This works well for my family.
Yes, absolutely!
Thanks for the comment, Britta, I think that is the most common sense approach to take.
Um, Ok. Raise your hand if you believe in God? My hands up, anyone else? I see a few. Ok people this is where I see that faith is really totally a big issue here. IF you TRUST and BELIEVE in God you should have enough faith to know that he will protect your son or daughter from any disease than to not have FAITH and worry if he or she will get something if they don’t get vaccinated. Realize this for those who do choose to vaccinate. I notice that those that do vaccinate and maybe I’m wrong, don’t really do reasearch on the vaccine or disease itself as those who choose not to vaccinate. It doesn’y hurt to do some homework and educate yourself a bit on them and maybe then you might actually reconsider vaccinating anymore. I can give you some links to some awesome research sites where you’ll be more than thankful for like :

P.S. Warning, Please be advised that there is strong content information here and you might be up for late hours at night trying to educate yourself because the info is so startling and shocking as well as graphical pictures of proven affected adults in the military and kids who even died in by cause of vaccines!!!!
You can read on this site for days there is soooooooooooo much info in there its incredible. God Bless this woman for her knowledge and none ignorance I see alot in this blog. I respect those that vaccinate the same I just totally disagree that you would vaccinate just because you grew up on the routine that this U.S. of A makes everyone acustom too with that action and feel for your children unlike them that don’t feel for our children or even have faith in their own vaccines to make it impossible to get suit!!!! What kind of crap is that? That scares me more that the worry of even getting the disease itself. Them preventing you from suiting them should be a RED FLAG that somethings up and the government doesn’t want us to know so they hide documents we can read about of past historical cases going back to George Washington. yes Mr.1st President of the U.S. himself. I will pray that God protects your kids for whatever they have received so far in vaccines and pray you will educate yourselves a bit and stop poisoning your kids with diseases and deadly chemicals that cause autoimmunity as well as cancers and other junk that will totally change the quality of life for the near to far future of your children lke Parkinson’s, Alzeihmers, MS, etc. You can get detoxified naturally and cleansed totally from all that JUNK. I am a mother of 4 myself and finishing my schooling in Natural Health and Homeopathy and all its branches.I stand by what I have studied and refuse to have my kids used as lab rats for this governments research. GOD BLESS AMERICA and all Smart Mothers out there who have made a wise choice. Congratulations :)
