Vaccine avoidance necessitates homeschool for some families

Whoa, tearjerker warning here, I just got this from Dr. Mercola's website. I am warning you, I was in tears watching this but I think it is important.

We need to PROTECT our right to CHOOSE vaccines or NOT! As anyone who knows me knows, I was 100% pro-vaccine, even up to a year and half ago. However, learning more about biology, neurology and immunology has led me down a different road. If I had it to do all over again, I would do it very differently. I agree with a more conservative vaccine schedule, and NONE before age 2, if at all. Understanding that the majority of the immune system is in the gut because THAT is the method for which our body SHOULD be fighting threats, through the mucous membranes. When you inject vaccines into the bloodstream, the body doesn't always know what to do and the crossing of the blood brain barrier is much more likely, leading to damage. Autism, ADHD, asthma, juvenile diabetes, arthritis, and other auto-immune disorders are on the rise. And, take a look at the rates of these disorders in the military community (in which vaccines are mandated) it will be the highest in our population.

The data is out there, they have PROOF of the VACCINE strain of measles in the gut lining of children on the Autism spectrum with leaky gut and severe gastrointestinal illness which usually comes with Autism. It was the VACCINE strain, not the kind acquired in the community. These viruses can do awful things when injected vs. acquiring them the normal way and allowing the immune system to function the way it is supposed to. The video explains this very well. Vaccines do NOT work the way they hoped they would, they try and fool the immune system and it goes very, very wrong many times. Why do you think there is a Vaccine Reaction Fund? Because many, many children have reactions resulting in damage, some not always as severe but a reaction still. Auto-immune disorders are rampant, and our vaccine schedule is SO much heavier than ours was when we were kids....hmmm...... 1 in 150 people. Do you know those odds are getting worse....1 in 96 boys today will have some form of Autism. Add in ADHD which is just a less severe form and the numbers go even higher!

Just read the vaccine insert, aluminum, formaldehyde, antibiotics, etc. Would you want that injected into your child's precious little body? I had NO clue, I was one of those moms, in my doctor's office at each required shot. Do I blame vaccines for my son's Autism? No, I think it was a combo of environmental toxins (which includes vaccines) and genetic predisposition. But I can't help but wonder what if I had done more research back then......I read every other book on child rearing and health, baby wearing, breast feeding and attachment parenting. But I never questioned vaccines. And I wish I had. Luckily I know more now and I refuse to be bullied into jamming more toxins into my child that I am trying SO hard to get out of him, and yes I have done the lab tests (which was fun on a 4 year old by the way) and so I know what is in there, including heavy aluminum. I think it is sad and ridiculous to hear of states mandating vaccines or imprisonment of parents who refuse to vaccinate. I am lucky to live in a state with exemptions and luckily no one has questioned me on this or hassled me (actually THEY are lucky they haven't hassled me!). We need the freedom of choice. And, I think it is funny that people worry about their vaccinated child around unvaccinated children.....if their child was vaccinated they they should be SAFE, right????? If anything the unvaccinated child would be in danger. I guess it depends on what you call "danger". And this is NOT about religion!!!! I believe in medicine, I understand its importance. I am not going to sit here and say "well if God wants my child to live he will make it so". But, I DO believe we can use natural medicine to preserve health the way our bodies (and GOD) intended. We see naturopathic physicians now, kind of the best of both worlds I think! But if I need stiches or a bone set, you bet I will go to the hospital. But, that doesn't mean natural supplements are voodoo or just for witch doctors!! Come on people, do you think our recent ancestors were the only ones to cure illness??? No, look at ancient cultures for goodness sakes!! Do I think we've made some things better? Of course but I also think we've made some things worse (i.e. super bugs with all the antibiotic overuse and antibiotic soaps, etc). There can (and should) be a balance.

This was a hot topic at the DAN! conference in October of course. I saw the data. And, I heard Andrew Wakefield offer to debate Paul Offit (or PROFFIT as he is referred to since he gets money from pharma). I have yet to hear Paul Offit accept that offer (read challenge). It would be something I would PAY to see. If you don't know, Andrew Wakefield is the gastroenterologist from the UK who was unwittingly drawn into a major controversy after he was approached by families with children on the spectrum with severe gut issues. He was the first one to pinpoint vaccine strain viruses in the intestinal lining of these kids. He was the first one to connect the MMR vaccine and Autism. And they tried to silence him because it does not make the pharma biz money to have people stop vaccinating. He now practices out of Thoughtful House in texas I believe. Yes, he had to come here because of the ridicule he was given because of his findings. My son STOPPED SLEEPING the day of his 4 month shots. That should have told me something but I trusted my doctor and not myself. NO MORE. Now I trust my gut and surround myself with doctors that know more about the promotion of health, not the use of pharmaceuticals to fix the problems that we are creating in this increasingly toxic world. But I still question and research on my own.

OK so another rant. It was not intended as a rant but this topic makes me angry when I hear about forced vaccination. Talk to some of these people who WATCHED their children slip away or worse, die, on the day of their vaccines from reactions. How do you know when it is going to be YOUR child? The pharmaceutical people use FEAR to bully you into all the shots, especially the flu vaccine. I have not gotten a flu vaccine in years but I have good nutrition, little sugar, lots of vitamins and minerals and rest and "try" and keep the stress down. But I have a 5 year old with Autism and a toddler, it comes with the territory. I will say it again, could I be wrong and lose my child to a "preventable" disease? Yes. But, I feel strongly that I will be an accurate judge of the severity of any illness, enough so to seek appropriate help when they need it. Trying to fix a neurological system is a LOT harder than nursing your child through chicken pox (and YES, I have done both, my son had chicken pox twice and my daughter has had it once, can you say viral issues ladies and gentlemen???). I bet I could get an angry parent who lost their child to chicken pox with the other side of the coin, I get that. But, I look at it from my point of view, which has changed given my personal journey. Whatever your beliefs, I hope you support freedom of CHOICE in this matter. Because for some kids, it is the vaccine that is fatal, not the disease.....
