Our decision not ...Hi, thank you for the responses. Our decision not to traditionally vaccinate our children remains. It remains for many reasons- but the most important reason is that natural immunity is far greater than any immunity manufactured for a needle. The link to Autism CANNOT be DISproven to either aid in the progression, or stem directly from vaccines. To say that vaccines will not make your kid develop Autism is very brazen, especially considering the government payouts made yearly to families injured from vaccines as Sarah mentioned.<br />I am fully aware of vaccine ingredients, results from clinical trials, as well as their potential to both help and harm. No family makes that decision based on what they heard or only think they know. All the families I know- make that decision with full disclosure into the risks and benefits. My son has been evaluated MANY times, by many different Physicians and Mental Health professionals- all with the same results. To do over again, I never would have had my child vaccinated.Courtnienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271893222326606837.post-67298885139746271202011-08-15T17:06:37.227-04:002011-08-15T17:06:37.227-04:00Thank you for sharing your story, Samantha.Thank you for sharing your story, Samantha.Sarah--Well Rounded Birth Prephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430583826211639431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271893222326606837.post-76131294053929292392011-08-15T16:57:58.921-04:002011-08-15T16:57:58.921-04:00I'm not Courtney (obviously, lol) but I did wa...I'm not Courtney (obviously, lol) but I did want to comment here too. My two oldest children are on the autism spectrum, and showed marked regressions immediately after vaccinations. My youngest child showed clear signs of neurological impairment after his first round of vaccinations, and that is when my husband and I decided "no more."<br /><br />It is my personal belief, after much research and discussions with other parents and healthcare professionals, that some children are genetically predisposed to develop neurological conditions (such as autism). Sometimes these conditions are not present at birth, but the symptoms are triggered at a later time. I do believe that one or more of the ingredients in vaccinations could trigger the onset of such a condition. <br /><br />Several of the ingredients used in the manufacturing of vaccines concern me: aluminum is, after all, a neurotoxin; formaldehyde is a poison and a carcinogen that we are warned to avoid exposure to. Other ingredients, such as monkey kidney tissue, and fetal bovine serum, just don't sound healthy to me at all. I know I am simply not comfortable injecting these substances into my children.Samantha Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285865295857875351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271893222326606837.post-3905767476134566322011-08-15T16:34:18.555-04:002011-08-15T16:34:18.555-04:00Hi Anonymous,
I'll forward your comment/quest...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />I'll forward your comment/question to Courtnie to allow her the opportunity to speak for herself. Families who decline or delay vaccines or selectively vaccinate have a wide variety of reasons to do so, some medical, some philosophical, some based on their own research, and for some, religious reasons.<br /><br />For what it's worth, the US government HAS paid out settlement money to families whose children's autism has been determined to be triggered by vaccines. According to the director of the CDC, 1 in 50 children has a mitochondrial disorder which would genetically predispose them to "autism-like symptoms" following vaccination. You can view one interview with her here:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh-nkD5LSIg&feature=player_embedded#!<br /><br />One high profile case recently was that of Hannah Poling. "What's unique about Hannah's case is that for the first time federal authorities have conceded a connection between her autistic symptoms and the vaccines she received, though the connection is by no means simple... If Hannah Poling had an underlying condition that made her vulnerable to being harmed by vaccines, it stands to reason that other children might also have such vulnerabilities."<br /><br />http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1721109,00.html<br /><br />The most important thing is maintaining our legal rights as parents to do what we feel is best for our children, for our circumstances. My goal is not to convince anyone to vaccinate or not to vaccinate or to delay or selectively vaccinate. My goal is to encourage parents to do their own research and know what options are available to them.Sarah--Well Rounded Birth Prephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430583826211639431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271893222326606837.post-65526942319021790152011-08-15T02:34:05.347-04:002011-08-15T02:34:05.347-04:00About the vaccines...the major study that linked v...About the vaccines...the major study that linked vaccines to autism was proved a hoax. Science is starting to show that autism can be spotted at birth so I seriously doubt that vaccinating a child will cause problems. Vaccinations are a choice but just be aware that they won't make your kid autistic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271893222326606837.post-18731696765368430092011-07-14T21:06:49.791-04:002011-07-14T21:06:49.791-04:00Great guest post!Great guest post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
